Italian Freud: exploring some of the vicissitudes of the translation

The Italian translation of Sigmund Freud’s works (Opere di Sigmund Freud) was printed by the publisher Bollati Boringhieri, starting in the 1960s, under the editorship of Cesare Musatti, who was able to take advantage of the substantial body of scholarship done by James Strachey and his team of translators when they translated Freud from German to English, starting in 1924 with the Collected Papers and finishing in 1966 with the definitive Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud. The specific difficulties of the Italian translation, and the choices effected, are explored, along with the differences and similarities with the English version with regard to some key psychoanalytic terms. Translations become the object of criticism in time: Strachey has not been spared this fate, and the Boringhieri translation has also recently come under attack.

The Hospital Room as Uncanny: Psychoanalytic Observations and Recommendations for Pastors and Chaplains

This essay in applied psychoanalysis is written for the field of pastoral psychology, and it also has obvious affinities with the medical humanities. The author uses Freud’s (The uncanny. In J. Strachey (Ed. and Trans.), The standard edition of the complete psychological works of Sigmund Freud (Vol. 17, pp. 217–256). Vintage, London, 1919/2001) “The Uncanny” to question the concept of homelike hospital rooms. Instead of making patients feel more comfortable, the authors believes that these rooms could, in some cases, actually increase the anxiety of patients. The author uses Helena Michie’s personal story of her experience of touring a birthing suite to support this argument, as well as some poetry by Billy Collins. The author, however, does not stop with identifying a problem, as he also suggests that pastors and chaplains, when they provide care for their patients, should help them identify and use their own transitional and transformational objects. These objects, of course, will be highly idiosyncratic, and it is precisely this kind of attention—attention to the idiosyncrasies of individuals—that pastors and chaplains should be giving to those in their care. While there is a growing literature on D. W. Winnicott, who coined the term “transitional object,” and Christopher Bollas, who gave us the term “transformational object,” in medical and pastoral circles, the author suggests that attention to and the endorsement of the use of transitional and transformational objects should become a part of hospital policy, if only in chaplaincy handbooks, so as to recognize what many individuals are already doing.

Populism, Genre and the Blank Canvas

Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes This paper was given at the one‐day conference ‘Populism and Genre’ held at Tate Britain in October 2006. The conference was organized by the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Middlesex University, in collaboration with the Office for Contemporary Art Norway. The paper argues that the prevailing values given to the terms of the opposition ‘accessible, élitist’ should be inverted. All citations are translated by the author unless stated otherwise. 1.

The English word ‘globalization’ first emerged in the late 1970s in the sociology departments and business schools of North American universities. It then entered the language of the business community before gaining the widespread use it has today. By ‘globalization’ I understand the expansionist activities and aspirations of transnational corporations, especially U.S.‐owned corporations, because of their close ties with government and the military. It is mainly in this sense of the word that we speak of the ‘effects of globalization’ in the world. There is of course another use of the term ‘globalization’ to refer the increased mutual awareness of geographically widely separated populations consequent upon the emergence of such global communication systems as satellite television and the internet, the reduced cost of air travel, and the increasing mobility of populations due to conflict or economic pressures – many of these latter, of course, a consequence of the first kind of globalization. The French word mondialisation is better adapted to signify this second meaning, as its connotations already include people – il y a du monde dans la mondialisation – whereas the English word has mainly spatial connotations. In cultural terms, ‘globalization’ means the diffusion throughout the world of the products of ‘First World’ entertainment industries: films, television shows, popular music, video games, and so on. Because of the dominant place of the U.S. in these ‘media’ industries, this has also meant the diffusion of the English language as a de facto lingua franca. To the extent that the ‘art world’ today is increasingly part of the fashion and entertainment industry it is an integral part of this process of cultural globalization. The process of cultural globalization has its corollary in the reciprocal action of subaltern cultures upon and within the hegemonic structures. 6. The Cuban artist René Francisco. 7.

Freud scrupulously distinguishes between the descriptive and the topological sense of the term ‘unconscious’. The former, more general, use covers all instances of representations not present to consciousness, and therefore includes ‘preconscious’ representations (thus Freud speaks of the ‘conscious‐preconscious system’). The latter, more restricted, sense of the term covers only those representations which are barred to consciousness by the mechanisms of defence. It is only in this latter sense that the term acquires its specifically psychoanalytic significance. Freud explicitly rejects the term ‘subconscious’. He writes: ‘If someone talks of sub‐consciousness, I cannot tell whether he means the term topographically – to indicate something lying in the mind beneath consciousness – or qualitatively – to indicate another consciousness, a subterranean one, as it were. He is probably not clear about any of it. The only trustworthy antithesis is between conscious and unconscious’.

Hans Christian Andersen and Music: The Nightingale Revealed. By Anna Harwell Celenza. pp. x + 269. (Ashgate, Aldershot, 2005, £45. ISBN 0-7546-0140-4.)

In his well-known essay from 1919, Sigmund Freud defines an uncanny experience as one occurring ‘either when infantile complexes which have been repressed are once more revived by some impression, or when primitive beliefs which have been surmounted seem once more to be confirmed’ (‘On the Uncanny’, trans. Alix Strachey, 1925, Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, ed. James Strachey, xvii (London, 1955), 249). As Freud’s analysis of Hoffmann’s story The Sandman suggests, the uncanny is most commonly associated with strange moments of repetition or recurrence, the appearance of a Doppelgänger or double, and through weird events in which mechanical objects appear to come to life and gain a mind of their own. Though Freud recognizes that these conditions recur frequently in fairy tales and children’s stories, he maintains that ‘in Hans Andersen’s stories the household utensils, furniture and tin soldiers are alive, yet nothing could well be more remote from the uncanny’ (ibid. 246), relegating such disconcerting moments of animation in Andersen’s works to the realm of harmless fantasy, a critical assessment that points ultimately towards their saccharine adaptation in Disney cartoons and Danish tourist brochures. But Andersen’s writing is often less neat and containable than Freud’s essay suggests. The effect of his short story ‘The Pepperman’s Nightcap’, for example, translated by Anna Harwell Celenza as one of the ‘Interludes’ in her new book Hans Christian Andersen and Music, is closer to Freud’s original meaning of the unheimlich in its contradictory or grotesque transformations of the familiar. Indeed, it is perhaps this uncanny character of Andersen’s writing that brings it closest to the spirit of Romantic music, and it is Andersen’s concern with capturing the noumenal quality of music that emerges as one of the principal subjects of Celenza’s book.

On dead subjects: a rejoinder to Lundberg on (a) psychoanalytic rhetoric

Owing to a longstanding commitment to the autonomous, self-transparent subject, many roads have not been taken in rhetorical studies. Our present conversation about Lacanian psychoanalysis represents one of those roads, which is the most radical route stemming from the little traveled thoroughfare of the “rhetoric of the interior.” Insofar as its central category is the dynamic unconscious, psychoanalysis in general represents a theory of an inside or interiority that has largely been ignored, and sometimes attacked, in favor or defense of surfaces and exteriorities (e.g., fantasy themes and rhetorical visions, rational argument in ideal speech situations, and so on). Despite the pioneering work on Jung and mythic criticism by Janice Hocker Rushing and Thomas S. Frentz, despite articulate calls for psychoanalytic research by Barbara Biesecker, Michael J. Hyde, and Loyd S. Pettegrew, and despite the remarkable, interdisciplinary work of Henry Krips, among NCA-style rhetorical studies scholars, psychoanalysis has been the place of dead roads, indeed, the place of dead subjects. Christian Lundberg’s welcome and insightful critique of “Refitting Fantasy” ought to be read as a road sign of sorts, indicating not only an exciting route for research, but also the number of places it might go. In general, Lundberg argues that a critical perspective that begins in the imaginary overlooks the master’s focus on the Symbolic order, thereby missing the true locus of rhetoric in Lacan’s work (principally, “tropology”). Further, Lundberg argues that a critical attention to fantasies is limited to discrete texts and intersubjective encounters, thereby avoiding an opportunity to do true Lacanian rhetorical criticism. The consequence of an approach focused on the criticism of (pre-)conscious and unconscious fantasies, he implies, is twofold. First, it promotes a perspective akin to the project of “ego-psychology” and, thus, relies on the “naive psychologism of solely intersubjectively mediated accounts of subject formation,” which bars scholars from the pursuit of a deeper, more

The Uncanny: An Introduction (review)

Reviewed by: The Uncanny: An Introduction Havi Carel The Uncanny: An Introduction. Nicholas Royle. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2003. Pp. x + 340. $85.00 (cloth); $22.95 (paper). Freud has influenced culture in general and philosophy, literature, and cultural studies, but has been incorporated into each discipline in a very different manner. The Uncanny focuses on a particular notion within Freud's work, the notion of the uncanny (das Unheimliche) and its influence and manifestations in literature, film, religious iconography and other cultural spheres. Royle's book is complex and contains a very advanced level of scholarship, which makes it far from introductory despite its title. Moreover the text is studded with references, allusions and gestures towards Derrida, Shakespeare, Freud, Milton, Todorov, Pope, Foucault, Rushdie, Žižek and many others (the six-page index contains, literally, hundreds of names), which makes it a book meant for those who are already in the know and nearly impossible for anyone not already au fait with the work of these authors. Someone who is completely unfamiliar with psychoanalysis and with Freud's 1919 essay (which can be found in volume seventeen of The Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud) will not find this book an easy read. [End Page 598] To its credit, the book engages in a comprehensive and original manner with various manifestations of the uncanny. These range from the phenomenon of the double (der Doppelgänger)—yes, there are two Nicholas Royles, apparently, as the photo on page 195 shows—to literary descriptions of being buried alive (from Antigone to Poe's The Premature Burial), to cannibalism and Freud's notion of the death drive. The book includes one very uncanny digression about the RAE (the national Research Assessment Exercise that rates the productivity of academic departments in the UK), in which the author attempts to deconstruct the "programming" to which academic institutions subject their employees. It is also a self-reflexive poke at the fact that "[e]verything in the present book, as the work of an academic employed by a British university, has been assembled in the shadow or night of the RAE" (112). On the one hand, the style of the book is refreshing and playful. The section discussing different authors' descriptions of being buried alive places each paragraph in a little coffin; the chapter entitled "Night Writing" uses little stars to mark each paragraph (which is also an ironic reference to the RAE term "starred items"); the chapter on film is made up of "subtitles" of varying lengths, and chapter six ("Silence, Solitude and . . . ") consists of four lines of dialogue, and nothing more. On the other hand, the style of the book does little to aid understanding, and I found its level of vagueness disturbing. It is difficult to find a clear argument, a commitment to a position, or a sustained structured analysis of a topic in the book. Often the writing has an almost studied vagueness, on evidence in phrases such as "Ewer's film is uncanny because film is uncanny" (77), "an intimate cohabiting between being buried alive and writing" (160) or "this is perhaps not unrelated to the death drive" (96). Another disturbing tendency in the text is for too many things to be "about" each other. "There is a shade of the surreal about the death drive and a shade of the death drive about surrealism" (97), "the model ghost, the ghostly model" (316) or "letting Beyond the Pleasure Principle invade 'The Uncanny' and 'The Uncanny' invade Beyond the Pleasure Principle" (90). The book's irreverent and self-reflexive style is appealing, as is the impressive erudition behind the discussions of particular texts. The references to secondary literature are engaging and the work draws various connections (for example, between the death drive and telepathy) that are imaginative and thought provoking. But as a sustained argument or a structured analysis, this book has limited success. Havi Carel University of York Copyright © 2004 The Johns Hopkins University Press

Ethical slippages, shattered horizons, and the zebra striping of the unconscious: Fanon on social, bodily, and psychical space

While Sigmund Freud and Maurice Merleau‐Ponty both acknowledge the role that spatiality plays in human life, neither pays any explicit attention to the intersections of race and space. It is Franz Fanon who uses psychoanalysis and phenomenology to provide an account of how the psychical and lived bodily existence of black people is racially constituted by a racist world. More precisely, as I argue in this paper, Fanon's work demonstrates how psychical and bodily spatiality cannot be adequately understood apart from the environing space of the social world. For Fanon, body, psyche, and world mutually influence and constitute each other. In a raced and racist world, therefore, the lived bodily experience and the unconscious of human beings will be racially and racist‐ly constituted as well. This will show you how in psychoanalysis we take spatial ways of looking at things seriously. Sigmund Freud1 Sigmund Freud, “The Question of Lay Analysis,” in volume 20 of The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, ed. and trans. James Strachey (London: The Hogarth Press, 1959), 195. Everything throws us back on to the organic relations between subject and space, to that gearing of the subject onto his world which is the origin of space. Maurice Merleau‐Ponty2 Maurice Merleau‐Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception, trans. Colin Smith (New York: Routledge, 1962), 251. Hence we are driven from the individual back to the social structure. If there is a [neurotic] taint, it lies not in the “soul” of the individual but rather in that of the environment. Franz Fanon3 Franz Fanon, Black Skin, White Mask, trans.
