New Haven: Yale University Press Scope and Content Note The papers of Walther Ernst Kris (1900-1957) span the years 1893-1999 with the bulk of the material concentrated in the period 1940-1956. The collection reflects Kris's activities as educator, psychoanalyst, and author of psychoanalytic theory and focuses primarily on the years following his move to New York in 1940 after emigrating from Austria. The papers include no patient case files except for one case history that is closed, and very little relates to his early career in art history in Vienna. The material is in English and German and is organized in the following series: Family Correspondence, General Correspondence, Speeches and Writings File, and Miscellany. The General Correspondence includes letters exchanged with professional colleagues, students, institutional organizations, and friends that document Kris's role in the organization of group research projects, academic work, research, and publications. Originally trained in art history, Kris developed an interest in psychoanalysis through his wife, Marianne Kris, a psychoanalyst and friend of Sigmund Freud. He served as a training analyst at the Institute of Psychoanalysis in Vienna and published works on psychoanalytic theory, the creative mind, and art by the insane. In 1938, Kris left Austria with Freud and other associates for London where he organized a program for the British Broadcasting Corporation to monitor and analyze Nazi propaganda broadcasts. After briefly working on a similar task at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Montreal, he settled permanently in New York City, where he served as codirector of the analogous Research Project on Totalitarian Communication. Correspondence with Mark A. Abrams, John Scarlett Alexander Salt, and others in the British Broadcasting files pertains to events in England and Kris's work in Montreal and New York during World War II and includes many personal war stories. Letters exchanged with Anna Freud and Princess Marie Bonaparte relate mostly to the publication of Sigmund Freud's letters to Wilhelm Fliess in The Origins of Psychoanalysis in 1954. Other widely dispersed members of the Viennese psychoanalytic community are also represented in the correspondence. Letters exchanged with art historian Ernst H. Gombrich, with whom Kris worked on several occasions, reflect his continuing interest in art and the creative process. Organization and planning of projects for the study of infant development and gifted adolescents are documented in the Arthur Davison Ficke Foundation file, and Kris's teaching career is related in files for the College of the City of New York and the New School for Social Research. Correspondents include Siegfried Bernfeld and Suzanne Cassirer Bernfeld, Gertrud Bing, Felix Deutsch and Helene Deutsch, K. R. Eissler and Ruth Selke Eissler, Otto Fenichel, Gladys Ficke, Edward Glover, Phyllis Greenacre, Heinz Hartmann, Willi Hoffer, Ernest Jones, Lawrence S.

What is psychoanalysis? Psychoanalysis is both a theory of the human mind and a therapeutic practice. It was founded by Sigmund Freud between 1885 and 1939 and continues to be developed by psychoanalysts all over the world. Psychoanalysis has four major areas of application: 1) as a theory of how the mind works 2) as a treatment method for psychic problems 3) as a method of research, and 4) as a way of viewing cultural and social phenomena like literature, art, movies, performances, politics and groups. What is psychoanalytic treatment for? Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy are for those who feel caught in recurrent psychic problems that impede their potential to experience happiness with their partners, families, and friends as well as success and fulfilment in their work and the normal tasks of everyday life.

  • Migratory Psychoanalysis Michael P
    Migratory psychoanalysis MICHAEL P. STEINBERG Brown University In September 2004 I participated in a conference in La plata, Argentina, on the topic of “the State and the politics of Memory: Archives, Museums, and Education.”1 the conference was convened by the comisión provincial por la Memoria, an authority commissioned in 2000 by the provincial government of Buenos Aires (whose capital is La plata) with the task of developing a public and comparative discourse of Vergangenheitsbewaeltigung, or coming to terms with the past. the Argentine past in question is the military regime that held power between 1976 and 1983, unleashing a campaign of state terrorism responsible for the murder of 30,000 citizens, with a severe overrepresentation, in increasing order, of youth, secondary school and university students, and Jews. the city of La plata boasts an important university; as a result, the violence there was especially severe. the comisión por la Memoria is housed in a former police headquarters known to the citizens of La plata as a site of torture and other hor- rors. Its task includes the preservation and dissemination of the archive of the state security forces (dIpBA), containing 3,800,000 files as well as other materials, including, for example, 160 recordings of bugged telephone conversations.2 to my surprise and, I must confess, to my relief, the large public audience proved quite interested in the topic of my own contribution: discourses and sites of public memory and history in Berlin. As it turns out, a delegation from the comisión por la Memoria was about to travel to Berlin to consult with analogous scholars and archivists there, specifically with the archivists of the Stasi files.

  • Julius Von Schlosser: Aesthetics, Art History and the Book
    Julius von Schlosser: Aesthetics, Art History and the Book Report on the 150th Anniversary Conference on Julius von Schlosser, 6th and 7th October 2016: Julius von Schlosser (1866–1938) Internationale Tagung zum 150. Geburtstag, gemeinsam veranstaltet vom Kunsthistorischen Museum Wien und dem Institut für Kunstgeschichte der Universität Wien Aus Anlass des150. Geburtstag erinnert die Tagung an diesen großen Wiener Gelehrten und beleuchtet seine einflussreiche Rolle als Museumsmann und Universitätslehrer. Die Vorträge thematisieren sein Verhältnis zu großen Zeitgenossen wie Bode, Riegl, Warburg, Wölfflin oder Croce ebenso wie seine wegweisenden, bis heute stark rezipierten Publikationen, seine wichtigsten Schüler und seine Aktualität innerhalb des kunsthistorischen Methodendiskurses. Julius von Schlosser (1866-1938) is perhaps the least known of the major art historians of his generation. The contemporary of Aby Warburg, Max Dvořák and Josef Strzygowski, his writings are more often mentioned in passing than actually read. Only recently has his work begun to be explored in depth. Of this the most notable has been his 1910 history of wax portraiture, which was republished in German in the 1990s, and which has since been translated into English. With the exception of the translations and essays published on him in the pages of this journal, he has been the subject of very little interpretative and critical commentary. The conference jointly staged by the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Institute of Art History of the University of Vienna to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth was thus a welcome event. Schlosser, the curator of weapons and arts and crafts at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, who only became a full professor late in his career after the death of his younger colleague Dvořák, is now known primarily for Die Kunstliteratur (1924), the wide-ranging survey of art writing from late antiquity to the eighteenth century, as well as his studies of collecting, musical instruments and the history of the Vienna School.

  • Marx and Freud in Latin America
    Critique of Planned Obsolescence: Marx and Freud in Latin America bruno bosteels cornell university oday, the least that we can say about Marxism is that, if it were not for the Tuse of attenuating prefixes such as ‘‘post’’ or ‘‘neo,’’ its mere mention has become an unmistakable sign of obsolescence. Thus, while in second-hand book- stores from Mexico City to Tierra del Fuego, the old manuals of historical and dialectical materialism from the Soviet Academy of Sciences keep piling up, almost nobody really seems to be referring to Marxism anymore as a vital doc- trine of political or historical intervention. Rather, Marx and Marxism in the eyes of the not-so-silent majority have become things from the past. In the best scenarios, they simply constitute an object for nostalgic or academic commemo- rations; in the worst, they occupy the bench of the accused in the world-historical tribunal for the trial of crimes against humanity. A´ lvaro Garcı´a Linera, the current Vice-President of Bolivia under Evo Morales, in an important text from 1996, written from prison where he was being held under maximum security rule on charges of subversive and terrorist activity, a text titled ‘‘Tres retos al marxismo para encarar el nuevo milenio’’ (‘‘Three Chal- lenges for Marxism to Face the New Millenium’’) and included in the collective volume Las armas de la utopı´a. Marxismo: Provocaciones here´ticas (The Arms of Utopia. Marxism: Heretical Provocations), describes the situation as follows: Yesterday’s rebels who captivated the poor peasants with the fury of their subversive language, today find themselves at the helm of daz- zling private companies and NGOs that continue to ride the martyred backs of the same peasants previously summoned.

  • Freud, Censorship and the Re-Territorialization of Mind
    BJHS 45(2): 235–266, June 2012. © The Author(s) (2012) Published by The British Society for the History of Science and Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S000708741200009X Blacked-out spaces: Freud, censorship and the re-territorialization of mind PETER GALISON* Abstract. Freud’s analogies were legion: hydraulic pipes, military recruitment, magic writing pads. These and some three hundred others took features of the mind and bound them to far-off scenes – the id only very partially resembles an uncontrollable horse, as Freud took pains to note. But there was one relation between psychic and public act that Freud did not delimit in this way: censorship, the process that checked memories and dreams on their way to the conscious. (Freud dubbed the relation between internal and external censorship a ‘parallel’ rather than a limited analogy.) At first, Freud likened this suppression to the blacking out of texts at the Russian frontier. During the First World War, he suffered, and spoke of suffering under, Viennese postal and newspaper censorship – Freud was forced to leave his envelopes unsealed, and to recode or delete content. Over and over, he registered the power of both internal and public censorship in shared form: distortion, anticipatory deletion, softenings, even revision to hide suppression. Political censorship left its mark as the conflict reshaped his view of the psyche into a society on a war footing, with homunculus-like border guards sifting messages as they made their way – or did not – across a topography of mind. Caviar, sex and death Censorship came early and often to Vienna.
