  • Marxism and Psychoanalysis: Attempting a Brief Review of an Old Problem*
    36 Marxism & Psychology Marxism and Psychoanalysis: Attempting a Brief Review of an Old Problem* Raúl Páramo-Ortega * Translator: Herdis Amelie Wawretzko Hitherto men have constantly made up for themselves false con- ceptions about themselves, about what they are and what they ought to be. The phantoms of their brains have got out of their hands. Marx and Engels (1845/46, pp. 26-27) Abstract. A brief attempt is made to locate Marxism and Psychoanalysis in the history of ideas. In both there is an evident and radical break with a magical, metaphysical and mystical idea of nature. Both postulate the coalescence of theory and practice, and both also share an eminently dialectical point of view. In Marx’s work we can find elements that might appear as Freudian thought and vice versa. Very few authors throughout the history of ideas have been the objects of such passionate rejection as Marx and Freud. They also seem to be condemned, by their own quantitative characteristics and qualitative complexity, to a certain category of being quite unmanageable. Keywords: Marxism, Freudo-Marxism, Psychology, Psychoanalysis. Introduction of cultural history is an involuntary insult against us as it reveals our ignorance. There is an old joke that says if anyone wants to ridi- cule the ignorance of his opponent, the easiest way is to propose the topic of Marxism or Psychoanalysis. I An Impossible Task: to Comprise Marx and Freud am convinced that the works of Marx and of Freud are absolutely unmanageable for their extension as The complete works of Marx/Engels known as well as for their complexity.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Vanderbilt Law Review by an authorized editor of Scholarship@Vanderbilt Law. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Free-ness of Free Speech Robert A. Leflar* In this article Professor Leflar discusses the freedom of speech re- quirement of the first amendment and determines that this constitutional guarantee is not absolute. The author concludes that the courts should weigh the conflicting societal values of the present day in reaching a decision as to whether the particular speech in issue is protected. Freedom of speech under Anglo-American law has never been an absolute right, and numerous exercises of free speech (and of free press) have been subjected to inhibiting legal sanctions, both criminal and civil, almost from the beginning of our common law heritage. It is true that the Blackstonian rule prohibiting "previous restraints upon publications"1 pur- ported, to protect absolutely the initial right to publish. But an absolute right to publish what one may thereafter be criminally punished or forced to pay civil damages for publishing is obviously illusory in its absoluteness.

Cleland’s success as a novelist might even be measured by the degree to which the fame of his fictional creation outstrips his own.

  • Being Gay and Hippie
    Being Gay and Hippie: How Oral History Deconstructed My Fixed Ideas By Steven Palmer A thesis submitted to the faculty of Columbia University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Oral History New York, New York October 2017 Don’t let the past remind us of what we are not now.1 When I first considered attending Columbia’s OHMA program, my reason seemed solid. I wanted professional guidance with my oral history project researching the “interface of gays and hippies” in the 1960s. My academic interest was intensely personal. Having been both gay and a latter-day hippie, I felt a sense of destiny when I learned there was historical evidence that the hippie movement positively impacted the gay liberation movement. I hoped I would be able to excavate this history and believed it was my duty to add to the canon of gay American history. The academic flowed seamlessly into the personal as I was convinced that this research would help place my sometimes-scrambled identity into a clear and uncontested historical context. But then I lost my momentum. It’s hard to say why but my guess is that I was lacking in the “next-steps” arena. As a result, numerous cassettes were interned to the bottom of a desk drawer to collect dust for several years. Though the interviews were out of sight, my project was not out of mind. I was unable to set myself free from this sense of mission so my several year lapse nagged at me as did my partner, David.

  • Psychoanalysis and Social Theory: the Hobbesian Problem Revisted
    Social Page 1 of 43 Psychoanalysis and Social Theory: The Hobbesian Problem Revisted Donald L. Carveth, Ph.D. This is a revised version of "Psychoanalysis and Social Theory: The Hobbesian Problem Revisited." Psychoanalysis & Contemporary Thought 7, 1 (1984), 43-98. The Section on Theoretical Sociology of the American Sociological Association awarded this essay its annual Theory Prize for 1984. I A sociologically trained social psychologist engaged in theoretical and clinical work in psychoanalysis is likely on occasion to be asked by his sociologist colleagues to account for what sometimes appears to them to be an eccentric, if not slightly suspect preoccupation on the part of a sociologist and to explain how he manages or fails to reconcile two paradigms often regarded as unrelated or even antithetical. Recently, for example, I was asked by a colleague to speak to her class on the topic of "the relevance of Freud for students of social theory." On reflection it occurred to me that this manner of formulating the topic could be regarded as expressing a degree of skepticism regarding the thesis I was expected to defend--a skepticism that may well be representative of the attitude of many sociologists toward psychoanalysis. By way of comparison, it is rather unlikely that anyone would be asked to discuss the relevance of Marx or Weber for students of social theory for in most quarters this is taken for granted. Yet, although Freud is acknowledged as one of the architects of modern thought and sensibility, and despite the important work of a wide range of psychoanalytically oriented sociologists, he is a somewhat unsung hero-- perhaps even an antihero--in sociology.
