Abstract:Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat” (1843) offers an intriguing account of the role that unconscious conflicts play in what appears to be senseless human violence. The story presents an unnamed convict’s efforts to narrate a series of uncanny experiences which culminates in his killing of his wife. Although one might at first assume that a person who awaits the hangman has no reason to lie, this essay argues that the narrative as a whole is an elaborate attempt at misdirection intended to shift the blame for murder away from one unconscious agency onto another which resides in the same psyche. Using psychoanalysis, this essay further seeks to unveil the psychological motives behind such a seemingly futile exercise at a moment when the protagonist waits for his execution.
摘要：埃德加·艾伦·坡（Edgar Allan Poe）的《黑猫》（The Black Cat）（1843）对无意识冲突在看似毫无意义的人类暴力中所扮演的角色进行了有趣的描述。这个故事讲述了一个未透露姓名的罪犯努力讲述一系列离奇的经历，最终导致他杀害了妻子。尽管一开始人们可能会认为，等待刽子手的人没有理由撒谎，但本文认为，整个叙事是一种精心设计的误导尝试，旨在将谋杀的责任从一个无意识的机构转移到另一个存在于同一心理中的机构。本文运用精神分析法，进一步揭示了在主人公等待处决的时刻，这种看似徒劳的行为背后的心理动机。

Abstract:The significance of Spielrein’s ‘destruction thesis’, as presented in her seminal paper, “Destruction as a Cause of Coming Into Being” (1994/1912), which includes: the element of a destructive component residing within sexuality; the resulting conflict arising between two fundamental biological drives; that of self-preservation and species-preservation, and the psychological consequences of the aforementioned conflict and its potential for paving the way for personal transformation in choosing between ‘sex vs survival’, is discussed with reference to sexuality, personal identity, notions of loss, and psychotherapy. Although Freud and Jung, as discussed here as well, were initially reluctant in accepting the biological considerations Spielrein was proposing for psychoanalysis, both overcame that reluctance, and her contributions to Freud’s death instinct, Jung’s concept of the anima, an understanding of transference and counter-transference, have come to be acknowledged and thus she is considered to be an early pioneer in the development of psychoanalysis.

Abstract:I am positing that at the core of the signature style of most great artists are powerful internal forces originating in childhood. These forces are usually encoded in a cohesive system of interrelated fantasies- many of which develop in early childhood and express the artist's need to pursue a line of exploration that is congruent with his or her preoccupations. Such preoccupations usually begin as unconscious fantasies and may or may not become conscious as the artist develops the theme or formal innovation.I will make the case that a system of interrelated fantasies is encoded in the signature style and masterworks produced by the modernist Alberto Giacometti and the early Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Giacometti's gaunt filiform figures and Artemisia's bloody decapitations and alluring nudes reflect what used to be called their "central organizing fantasies." That term is now outdated and oversimplifies the concept I have in mind. As a clinician as well as a researcher in art history, I have found that most individuals have a wide variety of separate unconscious fantasies that often coalesce into predominating and cohesive motivational forces.

Abstract:Challenging Freud’s contention that the origin of religion is the need for a protective Father (rather than an oceanic feeling of eternity), Augustine’s Confessions (as I read it) indicates that such an oceanic experience generated the concept of original sin, to justify a theological procedure for wending one’s way back to that ecstatic experience, and thereby laid the foundation for Christianity. Lacanian and Kristevan theory in turn facilitates our realization that Christianity springs from a wish for maternal fulfillment, a propensity to cling to the plenitude that occupies the void of das Ding. By illustrating the strong line of Christian thinkers Augustine was up against, Agamben puts into relief the subjectivity operating in Augustine’s formation of Christianity, furthering our ability to grasp the psychosexual underpinnings of the concept of original sin, with its ironic capacity to compel belief in a purity of spiritual oneness. Foucault, in Confessions of the Flesh, also weighs in, through his analysis of City of God and Against Julian that not only underscores Augustine’s obsession with sex but suggests that the consumption of the forbidden fruit might “be understood in a sexual way.” The Christian son/daughter therefore, ideally, fuses with the mother-Church to experience an oceanic state of completeness prior to sexual differentiation, an all-embracing fullness that enables a (Monica-inspired) victory—through evasion—over the Law of the Father, the disease of desire, and its concomitant lack. However, although Augustine held Lacanian theory within his perceptual and conceptual grasp, he veers off personally in a direction Lacan would consider a detour, insofar as Augustine “drown[s] the symptom in meaning,” in mother’s mystical milk, leaving it “repressed.” Yet in doing so, he instigated two-thousand years of Christianity: thanks to Augustine Imaginary maternal protection can be enjoyed through the jouissance of an oceanic feeling, celebrated by dozens of Madonna del Latte paintings.

Abstract:Drawing on a table talk by Martin Luther, this essay first presents a new taxonomy of blasphemy, in which instances of injurious speech are distributed along four fundamental axes, which are designated as ‘quality’, ‘source’, ‘judgement’ and ‘response’. This elementary taxonomy is then refined via a re-reading of the way in which blasphemy occurs in Freud’s case-study of the Rat Man, which generates an additional axis, notably that of the ‘object’. It is argued that the various components on the axes of blasphemy do not stand in a one-to-one relationship to one another, but follow a subjective pathway. This idiosyncratic, subjective dialectic of blasphemy is further substantiated with reference to the logic of the obsessional fantasy. Finally, it is concluded that a psychoanalytic approach to the question of blasphemy needs to start from a critique of the relationship between the subject and language, and from the observation that words have the power to heal as much as they have the ability to injure.

Abstract:Freud’s references to Barbara Low’s Nirvana principle and Sabina Spielrein’s destructive instinct in Beyond the pleasure principle shaped how their works were later perceived in psychoanalytic historiography. This article examines this circumstance as exemplary of a predominant Freud-centred viewpoint that can give rise to considerable distortions concerning what one omits and what one emphasizes in the history of psychoanalysis. The objective here is to analyse these distortions and appraise their implications for historical research in this field. For this purpose, we first review the context in which Freud refers to Low and Spielrein in 1920. Next, we re-examine their respective careers and seek to delineate a broader appraisal, considering their writings and other available sources and scholarship. In conclusion, the methodological issues highlighted by this reassessment are briefly discussed.

Abstract:The text "Sabina Spielrein: to Love, to Die, to be Reborn” discussed the life and work of Sabina Spielrein (1885-1942), a Russian–Jewish early pioneer of psychoanalysis and pediatrician, an original clinician and scholar, who is still mostly remembered for her connection to Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, and not for her groundbreaking contributions to the development of Freudian theory and practice. It also provides a context to the 1913 publication of Spielrein’s “Traum von ‘Pater Freudenreich’” in the IPA journal Internationale Zeitschrift für ärtzliche Psychoanalyse.Sabina Spielrein analyzes the dreams of Lene, a patient sent to her by Sigmund Freud. Lene’s experience as a professional opera singer lends to Spielrein’s analysis, referencing works by Mozart and Wagner as well as memories of past father figures and identifying Freud himself as the archetypal dream character of “Father Freudenreich.”
摘要:《萨比娜·斯皮尔林:去爱、去死、去重生》这篇文章讨论了萨比娜·斯皮尔林(Sabina Spielrein, 1885-1942)的生活和工作。萨比娜·斯皮尔林是俄罗斯-犹太精神分析学的早期先驱和儿科医生，她是一位具有独创性的临床医生和学者，人们对她的印象主要是她与卡尔·荣格和西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的联系，而不是她对弗洛伊德理论和实践发展的开创性贡献。这也为斯皮尔林1913年在国际摄影学会期刊《国际精神分析》(Internationale Zeitschrift f ärtzliche Psychoanalyse)上发表的《精神创伤》(Traum von ' Pater Freudenreich ')提供了背景。萨比娜·斯皮尔林分析了西格蒙德·弗洛伊德送给她的病人琳的梦。莱娜作为一名专业歌剧演唱家的经历有助于斯皮尔林的分析，她参考了莫扎特和瓦格纳的作品，以及对过去父亲形象的记忆，并将弗洛伊德本人确定为“弗洛伊德之父”的原型梦中人物。
