Thus in melancholia it must be a question of a loss – a loss in instinctual life.2 Freud first mentions melancholia in 1894, in ‘Draft D. On the Etiology and Theory of the Major Neuroses’, where melancholia (linked to mania) is noted as one of seven features in his morphology of the neuroses.3 Writing very shortly afterwards in a letter to Wilhelm Fliess, Freud starts to develop his theory of melancholia,4 and associates it with loss of instinct, including in his discussion a figure, ‘Schematic Picture of Sexuality’ (1895). But although much of Freud’s conceptual thinking on loss took place during his research on hysteria in the early to mid 1890s, he did not return to address melancholia until over 20 years later. In his paper ‘Mourning and Melancholia’, written in 1915 but not published until 1917, Freud defines mourning as a reaction to the loss of a loved person or ideal, but notes that while there is nothing about mourning that is unconscious, ‘melancholia is in some way related to an object-loss which is withdrawn from consciousness’.5 He writes: 18 In melancholia the relation to the object is no simple one; it is complicated 19 by the conflict due to ambivalence […] In melancholia, accordingly, countless separate struggles are carried on over the object, in which hate and love contend with each other […] The location of these separate struggles cannot be assigned to any system but the Ucs., the region of the memory-traces of things (as contrasted with word-cathexes).6 In Freud’s later understanding of melancholia he differentiates it from mourning; for him, mourning is a process where a subject comes to terms with the loss of a loved object despite having a strong unconscious attachment to it, whereas in melancholia the subject cannot integrate the loss and instead the ego identifies with the lost object, resulting in self-persecution. Today melancholia might be better described as depression, an emotional condition connected to a loss of self-esteem. In Freud’s melancholia it is not so much that the subject is not able to mourn the loss of a particular person or thing, but rather that the subject becomes attached to the experience of loss itself. This is a topical problem in that our life today is different from our former life; we cannot in fact insert the new content into forms that were still valid yesterday, that we use only through tradition and habit, but that are no longer adapted to contemporary life.1 The notion of a memory-trace, or mnemic image, also derives from Freud’s earliest work. In his studies of aphasia from 1891, a figure, ‘Psychological Schema of the Word Concept’,8 shows conscious and unconscious memory-traces as two complexes – ‘word-’ and ‘object-associations’ – which are arranged like branches on a tree. According to Freud, ‘word-associations’ exist in an open network consisting of ‘visual image for print’, ‘visual image for script’, ‘kinaesthetic image’ and ‘sound image’; whereas ‘object-associations’ produce a closed network comprising registers that are ‘visual’, ‘tactile’ and ‘auditory’.9 For Freud, hysteria is associated with the return of a memory; the content of a recurring hysterical attack is the return of a psychical state that the patient has experienced earlier.10 Jean Laplanche and J. B. Pontalis summarise how in The Studies on Hysteria (1893–5) Freud explores the way mnemic or memory-traces are stored in an archival fashion according to several methods of classification, including chronology, position in chains of association and accessibility to consciousness.11 This archival system allows a single event to be stored in various places: connected with perception, with memory and with the presentation of ideas or Vorstellung. In ‘The Project’ (1895), Freud differentiated between perceptual cells 12 20 and mnemic cells, perceptual images (Wahmehmungsbild) and mnemic images 21 (Erinnerungsbild).13 Following Josef Breuer, Freud reasoned that it was not possible for the same system to operate both in terms of perception, as the ‘mirror of a reflecting telescope’, and in terms of memory, as a ‘photographic plate’, and instead he suggested that separate systems of registration existed.14 Freud explained his thinking on this to Fliess in his letter of 6 December 1896 using a ‘schematic picture’ accompanied by the following written explanation: As you know, I am working on the assumption that our psychic mechanism has come into being by a process of stratification: the material present in the form of memory-traces being subjected from time to time to a re-arrangement in accordance with fresh circumstances – to a re-transcription. Thus what is essentially new about my theory is the thesis that memory is present not once but several times over, that it is laid down in various kinds of indications. I postulated a similar kind of re-arrangement some time ago (Aphasia) for the paths leading from the periphery [of the body to the cortex]. I cannot say how many of these registrations there are: at least three, probably more.15 To reply to this problem is to break with past habits.7 The figures shows how one event may be registered in different ‘mnemic systems’, showing the three key terms: Wz [Wahrnehmungszeichen (indication of perception)], or the first registration of perceptions; Ub Unbewusstsein[ (unconsciousness)], or the second registration arranged according to causal relations and linked to conceptual memory; and Vb [Vorbewusstsein (preconsciousness)], or the third transcription attached to word-presentation and corresponding to the ego.18 In ‘The Project’ W [Wahrnehmungen (perceptions)] are neurones in which Freud had looked specifically at the screening of an early memory by a later event.19 perceptions originate, to which consciousness attaches, but With reference to the case history of Emma, Freud investigated how the laughter of which in themselves retain no trace of what has happened. shop assistants in a later scene ‘aroused (unconsciously) the memory’ of the grin For consciousness and memory are mutually exclusive. of the shopkeeper who had ‘seduced’ Emma in an earlier one.20 Freud subsequently develops this later ‘resurfacing’ of the traces of childhood events, not registered Wz [Wahrnehmungszeichen (indication of perception)] is the consciously at the time, into his two-phase model of trauma, Nachträglichkeit, first registration of the perceptions; it is quite incapable of first mentioned in the letter to Fliess from 6 December 1896.

  • The Apres-Coup, Apres Coup: Concerning Jean Laplanche Problématiques VI
    The Apres-Coup, Apres Coup: Concerning Jean Laplanche Problématiques VI. L’Après-Coup1 Sergio Benvenuto Italian Council for Scientific Research Abstract Here the author examines the question of après-coup (afterwardsness) in psychoanalysis, commenting in particular on Jean Laplanche’s book, Après-Coup. The author appreciates Laplanche’s determination to avoid either a positivist interpretation of après-coup (as a “delay-action bomb”, as simply a delayed psychic effect) or an hermeneutic interpretation that makes of it a post-factum re-signification of past events. Yet at the same time, the author shows that Laplanche’s solution— which assumes an initial trauma to the subject, who must “translate” an ambiguous and enigmatic message originating from an adult other—ends up being, in effect, a clever combination of the two approaches, positivist and hermeneutic, that Laplanche was trying to avoid. Laplanche advances a much too linear theory, placing “the other” (that is, the desire of the adult) at the beginning of the process, while Lacan’s approach to après-coup opens up far more complex and disturbing perspectives for psychoanalysis. The author, having shown the limitations of Laplanche’s result (“the primacy of the other”), proposes his own interpretation of après-coup, wherein it would connect, in a unique way, the cause and the sense of the psychic world: a subsequent event in some way makes the sense of a preceding event to function as the cause of later psychic phenomena or symptoms. Introduction In time, later, we realize that the question of nachträglich – après-coup in French – is one of the central knots of psychoanalysis.

  • Psychoanalytic Discourse Reading Freud
    Psychoanalytic Discourse Issue 4 - October, 2017 ISSN 2472 2472 Jean Laplanche’s Après-Coup - Problématiques VI Published 2017, New York: The Unconscious in Translation Owen Hewitson1 This collection, comprising Laplanche’s lecture series of 1989-1990, traces the evolution of a single term in Freud’s work – Nachträglichkeit. Après-coup is the sixth in the series of Problématiques, Laplanche’s long- running course that began in 1970. It was delivered two years after the publication of his major late work, 1987’s New Foundations for Psychoanalysis, into which Laplanche distilled his five previous Problématiques (Laplanche, 1987). Taken as a whole, the series cannot help but invite comparisons to the Seminar series of Jacques Lacan. Both men worked at the same time, in the same city, and in the same format of year-long public lectures. Lacan was Laplanche’s analyst, Laplanche his student. Indeed, it was actually Lacan who, in his “Rome Discourse” of 1953, first reappraised the term Nachträglichkeit (Lacan, 2006, p. 213). Laplanche gives him fair credit for this, though when compared to the long article devoted to the term in 1967’s magisterial The Language of Psychoanalysis – a work for which Laplanche is most famous in the English-speaking world – the reader might consider Lacan's treatment somewhat scant (Laplanche & Pontalis, 2004). Both men’s project is by their own accounts the same: a re-reading of Freud. Lacan’s is perhaps the more ‘creative’ re-reading, but Laplanche’s certainly the more honest, both to the totality of Freud’s thought and to the problems it confronts.

  • Freud: Memory and the Metapsychological Witch
    Freud: Memory and the Metapsychological Witch Manuel Batsch Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 2015 I, Manuel Batsch confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisors, Juliet Mitchell and Liz Allison for their excellent guidance and generous encouragement during this project. Thanks to their benevolent attention and intelligent advice, I was able to construct and structure my research question. Our supervision meetings were crucial steps in the writing of my thesis and they also remain in my memory as transformative existential moments. I was impressed by the accuracy with which they read and corrected my drafts, a process from which I learnt a great deal. Psychoanalysis and Feminism is an important book in my inner library and often, when I feel threatened by a kind of intellectual inertia, I just have to reread some of its passages to regain a pleasure for thoughts. The seminars and supervisions with Juliet Mitchell have always triggered the same pleasure and inspired in me a form of bravery in thinking. I have been working under the supervision of Liz Allison since my MSc dissertation and throughout these years she has given me the confidence to compose academic work in English. Amongst many other things, I owe to her my introduction to a completely new reading of Derrida. Our Bion reading group was also extremely helpful and had a significant impact on my understanding of metapsychology after Freud.

  • Spatial Evolution of a Museum Building: a Case of the State Historical Museum
    SPATIAL EVOLUTION OF A MUSEUM BUILDING: A CASE OF THE STATE HISTORICAL MUSEUM Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Anna Mikhailova MA School of Museum Studies University of Leicester September 2017 Abstract Spatial Evolution of a Museum Building: A Case of the State Historical Museum in Moscow Anna Mikhailova This thesis contributes to the modern understanding of museum architecture, by exploring the relationship between a museum as an organisation and its physical form of the museum building. By choosing the spatial transformations at the State Historical Museum in Moscow as a case study, it introduces Russian museum practices into international museological context. The thesis analyses the planning and construction stages, as well as two major renovations that took place in significantly different political contexts: Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union and the modern democratic Federation. Applying a micro historical approach and a facility management lens offers an insight into the complexity of the processes that shape the physical space: its sensitivity to internal and external agencies and multiple contexts, such as the urban built environment; the political climate and the economy; museum trends; and the professional community. The building itself, once completed or at earlier stages, becomes another actor in the equation. An in-depth analysis of the events in question reveals the elaborate nature of the production of space, and demonstrates the importance of professional communication and interpersonal relationships that can impact the institution, both positively and adversely. The attitudes to the Museum, demonstrated by different governments over the years, offer an insight into how a central location can be viewed as a bigger asset than the institution itself and discourage it from independence, both organisationally and spatially.

  • I Am Falling Behind the Happenings
    The Diary of Anatoly S. Chernyaev 1985 Donated by A.S. Chernyaev to The National Security Archive Translated by Anna Melyakova Edited by Svetlana Savranskaya http://www.nsarchive.org Translation © The National Security Archive, 2006 The Diary of Anatoly S. Chernyaev, 1985 http://www.nsarchive.org January 4th, 1985. I am falling behind the events. And they are bustling. Before the New Year’s I was distressed for Ponomarev:1 Kosolapov asked for permission to print in Communist the conclusion we wrote for B.N. [Ponomarev] for the eight-volume International Labor Movement. In response, he received instructions from Zimyanin2 to remove the footnote that it was the conclusion—let it, he says, be just an article... This is how Zimyanin now gives orders to B.N., being lower in rank than him! But something else is the most important—he reflects the “opinion” that it is not necessary to establish the connection (for many decades into the future) between Ponomarev and this fundamental publication in an official Party organ... That is, they are preparing our B.N. for the hearse. I think he will not survive the XXYII Congress; in any case not as CC [Central Committee] Secretary. At work, almost every day brings evidence of his helplessness. His main concern right now is to vindicate at least something of his self-imagined “halo” of the creator of the third (1961) Party Program. In no way can he reconcile himself to the fact that life has torn “his creation” to pieces. He blames everything on the intrigues of either Gorbachev3 or Chernenko4; but mainly on “the curly one” (this is how he calls Chernenko’s assistant Pechenev); and also in part on Aleksandrov5 and Zagladin.6 He complains to me, seeking in me somebody to talk to, a sympathizer.

  • Radical Psychoanalysis
    RADICAL PSYCHOANALYSIS Only by the method of free-association could Sigmund Freud have demonstrated how human consciousness is formed by the repression of thoughts and feelings that we consider dangerous. Yet today most therapists ignore this truth about our psychic life. This book offers a critique of the many brands of contemporary psychoanalysis and psychotherapy that have forgotten Freud’s revolutionary discovery. Barnaby B. Barratt offers a fresh and compelling vision of the structure and function of the human psyche, building on the pioneering work of theorists such as André Green and Jean Laplanche, as well as contemporary deconstruction, feminism, and liberation philosophy. He explores how “drive” or desire operates dynamically between our biological body and our mental representations of ourselves, of others, and of the world we inhabit. This dynamic vision not only demonstrates how the only authentic freedom from our internal imprisonments comes through free-associative praxis, it also shows the extent to which other models of psychoanalysis (such as ego-psychology, object-relations, self-psychology, and interpersonal-relations) tend to stray disastrously from Freud’s original and revolutionary insights. This is a vision that understands the central issues that imprison our psychic lives—the way in which the reflections of consciousness are based on the repression of our innermost desires, the way in which our erotic vitality is so often repudiated, and the way in which our socialization oppressively stifles our human spirit. Radical Psychoanalysis restores to the discipline of psychoanalysis the revolutionary impetus that has so often been lost. It will be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, mental health practitioners, as well as students and academics with an interest in the history of psychoanalysis.
