Lacan en las lógicas de la emancipación. A partir de los textos de Jorge Alemán. Resulta legitimo decir que Jorge Alemán es un psicoanalista un filósofo, un poeta. Pero lo legítimo –en este como en muchos otros casos- es insuficiente. Probablemente aquello que mejor lo defina sea el estatuto de “pensador de equivalencias entre los no similares”, como sostiene Horacio González en su artículo del presente volumen. Esto, porque si hay algo que caracteriza a Alemán es su fructífera insistencia en la necesidad de unir, a través de la reflexión, aquellos autores, tradiciones y conceptos que, previo su articulación, parecían pertenecer a registros completamente antitéticos. Evidentemente la más importante de dichas uniones, aunque claramente no la única, es la de la izquierda lacaniana.
In this masterful history, Eli Zaretsky reveals the power of Freudian thought to illuminate the great political conflicts of the twentieth century. Developing an original concept of "political Freudianism," he shows how twentieth-century radicals, activists, and intellectuals used psychoanalytic ideas to probe consumer capitalism, racial violence, anti-Semitism, and patriarchy. He also underscores the continuing influence and critical potential of those ideas in the transformed landscape of the present. Zaretsky's conception of political Freudianism unites the two overarching themes of the last century—totalitarianism and consumerism—in a single framework. He finds that theories of mass ...
Today Sigmund Freud's legacy seems as hotly contested as ever. He continues to attract fanaticism of one kind or another. If Freud might be disappointed at the failure of his successors to confirm many of his so-called discoveries he would be gratified by the transforming impact of his ideas in contemporary moral and ethical thinking. To move from the history of psychoanalysis onto the more neutral ground of scholarly inquiry is not a simple task. There is still little effort to study Freud and his followers within the context of intellectual history. Yet in an era when psychiatry appears to be going in a different direction from that charted by Freud, his basic point of view still attracts ...
Now a classic, this book was hailed upon its original publication in 1959 as "An event to be acclaimed . . . a book of genuine brilliance on Freud's cultural importance . . . a permanently valuable contribution to the human sciences."—Alastair MacIntyre, Manchester Guardian "This remarkably subtle and substantial book, with its nicely ordered sequences of skilled dissections and refined appraisals, is one of those rare products of profound analytic thought. . . . The author weighs each major article of the psychoanalytic canon in the scales of his sensitive understanding, then gives a superbly balanced judgement."—Henry A. Murray, American Sociological Review "Rieff's tremendous scholars...
Originally published in 1940, From Thirty Years with Freud by Theodor Reik is the English translation of a collection of essays presenting the author’s memories of Freud. The book includes an unknown lecture of Freud, Freud as a critic of our culture, and diverse subjects treated from the psychoanalytic standpoint. Several of these articles have appeared elsewhere before, mostly in German. The final group of essays, originally dedicated to Freud on his successive birthdays, deal with embarrassment in greeting, the latent meaning of elliptical distortion, and the nature of Jewish wit. “In this series of letters, essays, and comments, Reik endeavors to convey something of his own intimate veneration of Freud to the lay reader. The book...breathes sincerity, honesty, and scientific curiosity.”—Karl Menninger
