The article focuses, in particular, on the changes brought about in the setting by the presence of the sanitary mask, following a line that begins with the theme of the “mask” in the collective uses of human cultures, and develops through the Jungian concept of <i>persona</i>, as opposed to the “face” that may convey an authentic image of oneself. A clinical vignette illustrates the issues that the mask raises in the setting by obstructing the communication of emotions. When there is no transformative processing of concrete data, “unmasking” can also lead to an uncanny encounter and to moments of darkness and confusion in analysis, when the analyst experiences the kind of “unconscious identity” between therapist and patient that Jung defined as <i>nigredo</i>. The article is intended as a contribution to the analytic community's current reflections on the new and unforeseen challenges encountered in analysis at the time of the Coronavirus. It is possible to learn from these experiences with a view to integrating new elements and thus modify one's own internal setting, the compass with which each analyst orientates himself.</p><p>‘L'urgence sanitaire’ a forcé les analystes à rechercher de nouvelles manières de poursuivre le travail analytique. Cet article met l'accent en particulier sur les changements survenus dans le cadre du fait du port du masque sanitaire; l'article suit un fil conducteur qui commence avec le thème du ‘masque’ dans les usages collectifs des cultures humaines et se poursuit avec le concept Jungien de <i>persona</i>, en opposition avec le ‘visage’ qui peut communiquer une image authentique de soi. Une vignette clinique illustre les problèmes que le masque soulève dans la situation analytique en entravant la communication d'émotions. Quand il n'y a pas de processus de transformation des données concrètes, ‘démasquer’ peut également mener à une rencontre étrange et à des moments de ténèbres et de confusion dans l'analyse, quand l'analyste fait l'expérience du type ‘d'identité inconsciente’ entre le thérapeute et le patient que Jung a défini comme <i>nigredo</i>. Cet article a pour but de contribuer aux réflexions actuelles de la communauté analytique en ce qui concerne les défis nouveaux et inattendus rencontrés dans l'analyse dans la période du Coronavirus. Il est possible de tirer des leçons de ces expériences afin d'intégrer de nouveaux éléments et ainsi de modifier notre propre cadre interne, la boussole avec laquelle chaque analyste s'oriente.</p><p>Der ‘Gesundheitsnotstand’ zwang die Analytiker, nach neuen Wegen zu suchen, um mit der Analyse fortzufahren.

G. Jung's creative writing process for the first time. In this paper, I explore Jung's practice of active imagination in relation to his fantasy dialogues with the dead during two specific episodes in 1914 and 1916. I discuss Jung's concept of the collective unconscious corresponding to the “mythic land of the dead” and I show how this idea develops in <i>The Black Books</i> and <i>The Red Book</i>, or <i>Liber Novus</i>, culminating in <i>Septem Sermones ad Mortuos</i>. I describe my work with a patient, who, in an early session, said she felt like the \"living dead\". I recount how the patient's experience of her own internal world began to change as we were able to wonder about the inner world of the patient's late mother and, together, to imagine her mother's lament. I consider the use of imagination when working with the concept of \"therapy for the dead\" (Hillman & Shamdasani, 2013, p. 164) in the context of intergenerational trauma.</p><p>Avec la parution des reproductions des <i>Livres Noirs</i> en 2020, nous avons pour la première fois la possibilité d'étudier les différents niveaux dans le processus d'écriture créative de C.G. Jung. Dans cet article, j'explore la pratique de Jung d'imagination active en lien avec ses dialogues imaginaires avec les morts pendant deux épisodes spécifiques ; en 1914 et 1916. J'étudie le concept de Jung d'inconscient collectif correspondant au ‘pays mythique des morts’ et je montre comment cette idée est développée dans les <i>Livres Noirs</i> et le <i>Livre Rouge</i>, ou <i>Liber Novus</i>, et culmine dans <i>Septem Sermones ad Mortuos</i>. Je décris mon travail avec une patiente qui, dans une des premières séances, exprima qu'elle se sentait comme un « mort-vivant ». Je raconte comment l'expérience que cette patiente avait de son monde interne commença à changer lorsqu'il nous fut possible de nous intéresser au monde intérieur de sa mère décédée et d'imaginer ensemble la lamentation de sa mère. Je réfléchis à l'usage de l'imagination quand on travaille avec le concept de « thérapie pour les morts » (Hillman et Shamdasani, 2013, p.164) dans le contexte de traumatisme intergénérationnel.</p><p>Mit der Veröffentlichung der Faksimile-Ausgabe von <i>The Black Books</i> im Jahr 2020 haben wir zum ersten Mal die Gelegenheit, die Schichten von C.
