| Summary: | This paper examines the relation between the concept of “spirit of the times” used by Carl G. Jung in
his approach to art and science, enriched by his concept of “collective unconscious”, and the notion of
“cultural subject” proposed by Edmond Cros. Even though these concepts emerge in different historical
moments, both Cros and Jung approach how culture and the symbolic –what is given- are reproduced
in every social and artistic production –what is created-. This article examines the developments made
by the Swiss psychoanalyst in reference to the creative process and the literary phenomenon, in order to
establish a comparison between the postulates of both thinkers.
