Additional material was given to the Library between 1970 and 1976 by Anna Freud who subsequently bequeathed to the Sigmund Freud Archives the remainder of her father's papers in her possession at the time of her death in 1982. The archives deposited these papers in the Library of Congress in 1986 and converted the deposit to a gift in 2000. Numerous other donors gave material directly to the Library of Congress between 1942 and 2001. Further items were acquired by the Library through purchase, transfer, and exchange between 1943 and 1999. Processing History: The Sigmund Freud Papers were arranged and described in 1991 in seven lettered series (A, B, C, D, E, F, and Z) in accordance with restrictions and conditions that applied to the collection at that time. Material within each series was arranged in groupings Papers of Sigmund Freud 3 of family papers, general correspondence, subject file, writings, supplemental material, and interviews and recollections. When the bulk of the restrictions were lifted in 2000, the lettered series were abolished and the papers were rearranged. Ten new series (Family Papers, General Correspondence, Subject File, Writings, Supplemental File, Interviews and Recollections, Artifacts, Restricted, Closed, and Oversize) were created by consolidating subgroupings within the lettered series. Although their series designations had been changed, most folder titles were not altered during reprocessing. Descriptions of the Sigmund Freud Papers appear in Library of Congress Acquisitions: Manuscript Division, 1985, pp. 27-31, and Library of Congress Acquisitions: Manuscript Division, 1986, pp. 33-36. Transfers: Items have been transferred from the Manuscript Division to other custodial divisions of the Library. Books have been transferred to the Rare Book and Special Collections Division. Some photographs have been transferred to the Prints and Photographs Division. Motion picture films and audio recordings of interviews have been transferred to the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division.

  • Jacob's Ambivalent Legacy
    Joel Whitebook 139 JOEL WHITEBOOK Jacob’s Ambivalent Legacy This paper elucidates Freud’s ambivalent and complex relation to Judaism, tracing it to the “break with tradition” that ran through the center of his father’s life. Jacob Freud was a conflicted and tran- sitional figure, with one foot planted in the parochial world of Jewish traditionalism and the other in the cosmopolitan world of European modernity. And he wanted his son to partake of these two legacies in equal degree. But Sigmund found the conflict untenable and chose in favor of science, atheism, and the Enlightenment. The point to be appreci- ated, however, is that he did not see his choice of the Aufklärung as a simple rejection of the Jewish tradition. Rather, by construing Moses as an Aufklärer, he was able he was able to define his project as an inner transformation of the Jewish tradition so that he could thereby to be “a godless Jew,” thereby confirming both his atheism and his cultural heritage. 1 What are we to make of Freud’s provocative idea of a “godless Jew”? Is it simply a contradiction in terms that he uses to patch over an irresolvable and fundamental rift in his character and outlook? This is the position of those champions of Enlightenment universalism who want to inoculate Freud’s science against any taint of ethnic particularity. They argue that the godlessness ought to be retained and the Judaism discarded. This is also the position of certain Jewish thinkers when they want to claim Freud as a prodigal son who ultimately returned to the tribal fold.1 In this case, the idea is to drop the godlessness—or at least radically attenuate it—while holding onto the Judaism.

  • Sigmund Freud’S Impact on How We Think, and How We Think About How We Think, Has Been Enormous
    WHY FREUD? Sigmund Freud’s impact on how we think, and how we think about how we think, has been enormous. The twentieth century has been called the Freudian century, and whatever the twenty-first century chooses to believe about the workings of the human mind, it will be, on some level, indebted to Freud (of course, this may be a debt that involves reacting against his ideas as much as it involves subscribing to them). Freud’s theory, psychoanalysis, suggested new ways of under- standing, amongst other things, love, hate, childhood, family relations, civilisation, religion, sexuality, fantasy and the conflicting emotions that make up our daily lives.Today we all live in the shadow of Freud’s innovative and controversial concepts. In their scope and subsequent impact Freud’s writings embody a core of ideas that amount to more than the beliefs of a single thinker. Rather they function like myths for our culture; taken together, they present a way of looking at the world that has been powerfully transformative. The poet W.H.Auden prob- ably put it best when he wrote of Freud:‘if often he was wrong and, at times, absurd,/to us he is no more a person/now but a whole climate of opinion/under which we conduct our different lives’ (‘In Memory of Sigmund Freud’,Auden 1976: 275). But what is this strange ‘climate of opinion’, psychoanalysis? How did a turn-of-the-century Viennese doctor, who may now seem to us often wrong and sometimes absurd, become so central to our vision of 2 WHY FREUD? ourselves as thinking, feeling beings in the twentieth century? And if psychoanalysis really is ‘often wrong and sometimes absurd’, why read it at all? While providing a compact introduction to Freud’s life, impor- tant concepts and key texts, this study also aims to offer some answers to these wider questions.

  • Five Formations of Publicity: Constitutive Rhetoric from Its Other Side
    QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF SPEECH, 2018 VOL. 104, NO. 2, 189–212 https://doi.org/10.1080/00335630.2018.1447140 Five formations of publicity: Constitutive rhetoric from its other side Jason D. Myres Communication Studies, University of Georgia, Athens, USA ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY This essay rethinks the constitutive formation of publics by Received 20 February 2017 foregrounding the desirability of publics themselves. This project Accepted 15 January 2018 begins by theoretically resituating publics as a series of KEYWORDS irrevocably lost objects. Specifically, I contend publics are Donald J. Trump; desire; composed of a montage of desires (oral, anal, phallic, scopic, and ’ public; prosopopeia; superego) modeled on Jacques Lacan s stages of the object in metonymy obsessional neurosis. To explicate, I use this schema to parse the symbolic dimensions of the “people” aligned with Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Lacan’s schema of the object is adapted into a theory of publicity exemplified in the (astonishing) resilience of the “Trump voter,” the imaginary “people” routinely invoked throughout his emergence as a political figure. Lacan’s schema, I argue, helps explain the symbolic staging of the “Trump voter” as something more than just another potent social imaginary: an object of desire. Working from recent scholarship of Barbara Biesecker, Christian Lundberg, Joshua Gunn, and a growing number of others, this essay theorizes public formation from the standpoint of desire. However, I have a different emphasis in mind: rather than studying the for- mation of publics, I demarcate five potential con-formations of publicity that undergird publics as epiphenomena. This schema of desire refers not to a universal structure, but a partitioning that introduces difference within and between modes of public formation.

  • Introduction: Jung, New York, 1912 Sonu Shamdasani
    Copyrighted Material IntroductIon: Jung, neW York, 1912 Sonu Shamdasani September 28, 1912. the New York Times featured a full-page inter- view with Jung on the problems confronting america, with a por- trait photo entitled “america facing Its Most tragic Moment”— the first prominent feature of psychoanalysis in the Times. It was Jung, the Times correctly reported, who “brought dr. freud to the recognition of the older school of psychology.” the Times went on to say, “[H]is classrooms are crowded with students eager to under- stand what seems to many to be an almost miraculous treatment. His clinics are crowded with medical cases which have baffled other doctors, and he is here in america to lecture on his subject.” Jung was the man of the hour. aged thirty-seven, he had just com- pleted a five-hundred-page magnum opus, Transformations and Sym‑ bols of the Libido, the second installment of which had just appeared in print. following his first visit to america in 1909, it was he, and not freud, who had been invited back by Smith ely Jelliffe to lec- ture on psychoanalysis in the new international extension course in medicine at fordham university, where he would also be awarded his second honorary degree (others invited included the psychiatrist William alanson White and the neurologist Henry Head). Jung’s initial title for his lectures was “Mental Mechanisms in Health and disease.” By the time he got to composing them, the title had become simply “the theory of Psychoanalysis.” Jung com- menced his introduction to the lectures by indicating that he in- tended to outline his attitude to freud’s guiding principles, noting that a reader would likely react with astonishment that it had taken him ten years to do so.

  • Sigmund Freud Biography - Life, Family, Childhood, Children, Parents, Death, History, Wife, School
    3/5/2020 Sigmund Freud Biography - life, family, childhood, children, parents, death, history, wife, school World Biography (../in… / Fi-Gi (index.html) / Sigmund Freud Bi… Sigmund Freud Biography Born: May 6, 1856 Freiberg, Moravia (now Czech Republic) Died: September 23, 1939 London, England Austrian psychologist, author, and psychoanalyst The work of Sigmund Freud, the Austrian founder of psychoanalysis, marked the beginning of a modern, dynamic psychology by providing the first well-organized explanation of the inner mental forces determining human behavior. Freud's early life Sigmund Freud was born on May 6, 1856, in Freiberg, Moravia (now Czech Republic). Sigmund was the first child of his twice-widowed father's third marriage. His mother, Amalia Nathanson, was nineteen years old when she married Jacob Freud, aged thirty-nine. Sigmund's two stepbrothers from his father's first marriage were approximately the same age as his mother, and his older stepbrother's son, Sigmund's nephew, was his earliest playmate. Thus, the boy grew up in an unusual family structure, his mother halfway in age between himself and his father. Though seven younger children were born, Sigmund always remained his mother's favorite. When he was four, the family moved to Vienna (now the capital of Austria), the capital city of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy (the complete rule of Central Europe by Hungary and Austria from 1867 to 1918). Freud would live in Vienna until the year before his death. Youth in Vienna Because the Freuds were Jewish, Sigmund's early experience was that of an outsider in an overwhelmingly Catholic community.
