We are inexorably attracted to the shadow. Our times seem uniquely attuned to the quest of the dark side of this or that, the horrors of this or that, the hidden this or that. Our fascination with shadows arguably grows out of a justified mistrust with a world dominated by image and pretence, falsehood and untruth (Kociatkiewicz, Kostera 2010). We mistrust the perfectly shining surfaces of celebrities and leaders, logos and shows, hypes and frauds. In this essay, I argue that there is a shadow to the shadow. In our fascination with the shadow, we avoid confronting ourselves, our organizations and our societies. We thus risk enhancing the shadow’s grip over mental and social dynamics, exacerbating othering, scapegoating and a culture of blame.
