  • Ritual Remembrance: Freud's Primal Theory of Collective Memory
    Ritual Remembrance: Freud’s Primal Theory of Collective Memory Taylor Schey In the fnal essay of Totem and Taboo, Freud infamously claims that civilization began wHen a band of brotHers brutally murdered tHeir fatHer. THis postulation leads Freud to conclude tHat “tHe beginnings of religion, morals, society and art converge in the Oedipus complex,”1 and, accordingly, most readers, regardless of their argument, presuppose that the text depicts a “fundamental oedipal revolt.”2 This is how Peter Gay characterizes the action of Totem and Taboo in his short introduction to the Norton Standard Edition, and this is how the text is generally re- membered. While we may forget the moves of Freud’s argument and the details of his historical narrative—not to mention the frst three essays of the book—we do remember that, according to Freud, in the beginning was the Oedipus complex. It is not surprising, tHen, tHat many readers Have felt Freud went too far with Totem and Taboo. Its publication incited anthropologists to attack the universality of the Oedipus complex;3 others have turned the tables on Freud and charged him with projecting his own oedipal guilt onto an imagined horde of parricidal sons;4 and most in the feld of psychoanaly- sis have come to disregard Totem and Taboo, in part because it threatens the validity of the Oedipus complex. As E. B. Spillius explains: “today the idea of the Oedipus complex no longer needs to be defended against rival schools of psychoanalysis, and the use of the Oedipus complex to explain the origin of civilization would do it more harm than good” (187).

This paper does not categorically deny that such is often the case, but suggests that its inversion is widely overlooked. Overlooked, because much like the skull in Holbein’s The Ambassadors, evidence of technology’s active effect on the user is distorted until viewed from a particular vantage point.

  • Bibliotherapy and Psychotherapy
    Bibliotherapy and Psychotherapy EDWIN F. ALSTON, M.D. THISPAPER HAS TO DO WITH the possible uses and values of bibliotherapy in the treatment of emotional and men- tal illness. The discussion will be introduced with brief considerations of personality development, psychopathology, concepts of mental and emotional health, and psychotherapy from standpoints of goals, prin- ciples, techniques, and problems. We shall also want to review the rationale for thinking of bibliotherapy in connection with the treat- ment of the mentally ill. Such a background is necessary before we can see clearly the possible roles of bibliotherapy in the present treat- ment of psychological disorders. The development of a human personality is an extremely compli- cated process. Here we shall not attempt to describe the details; rather we shall emphasize the diversity of factors that are involved in the growth and development of a human personality. At birth the individual exists largely as a potential. His very survival is dependent upon those who care for him; his future development is shaped first by the start they give him and subsequently by all of the experiences which he has on his way to adulthood. Physically and psychologically the individual will go through different phases of growth and de- veIopment.ls2 In each phase different needs and activities are pre- potent. For instance, in the earliest months, eating, eliminating, and sleeping are dominant activities. Subsequently different periods are characterized by the special prominence of learning to walk, talk, control sphincters. As the years go by, at different stages, the indi- vidual will be especially involved in developing the nature of his relationships with people, of acquiring basic knowledge and skills.

  • FREUD and the PROBLEM with MUSIC: a HISTORY of LISTENING at the MOMENT of PSYCHOANALYSIS a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty
    FREUD AND THE PROBLEM WITH MUSIC: A HISTORY OF LISTENING AT THE MOMENT OF PSYCHOANALYSIS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michelle R. Duncan May 2013 © 2013 Michelle R. Duncan FREUD AND THE PROBLEM OF MUSIC: A HISTORY OF LISTENING AT THE MOMENT OF PSYCHOANALYSIS Michelle R. Duncan, Ph. D. Cornell University 2013 An analysis of voice in performance and literary theory reveals a paradox: while voice is generally thought of as the vehicle through which one expresses individual subjectivity, in theoretical discourse it operates as a placeholder for superimposed content, a storage container for acquired material that can render the subjective voice silent and ineffectual. In grammatical terms, voice expresses the desire or anxiety of the third rather than first person, and as such can be constitutive of both identity and alterity. In historical discourse, music operates similarly, absorbing and expressing cultural excess. One historical instance of this paradox can be seen in the case of Sigmund Freud, whose infamous trouble with music has less to do with aesthetic properties of the musical art form than with cultural anxieties surrounding him, in which music becomes a trope for differences feared to potentially “haunt” the public sphere. As a cultural trope, music gets mixed up in a highly charged dialectic between theatricality and anti-theatricality that emerges at the Viennese fin- de-Siècle, a dialectic that continues to shape both German historiography and the construction of modernity in contemporary scholarship.
