Totem and Taboo

Freud has told us that for him all natural science, medicine, and psychotherapy were a lifelong journey round and back to the early passion of his youth for the history of mankind, for the origins of religion and morality -an interest which at the height of his career broke out to such magnificent effect in Totem and Taboo. ' Thomas Mann 'Relations between social anthropology and psychology are still ill-defined and unstable. But in any resolution of them the work of psychoanalysts must be taken very seriously into account. It is very useful, then, to have this new translation of the pioneer work.' Nature 'Freud had a strong element of the artist in his composition. Nearly all his work was well translated into English, with one glaring exception: Totem and Taboo.

The Chinese totem of dragon and the greek myth of oedipus: a comparative psychoanalytic study

International Communication of Chinese Culture, 2015

By drawing upon Freud's provocative interpretation on the psychological foundation of ethical and cultural development, I hope to shed a new light on the meanings and origins of dragon worship in early China and its intriguing analogy with the Greek myth of Oedipus. As I will demonstrate, the psychological condition for the Chinese dragon worship compares well to the psychological syndrome underlying the Greek myth of Oedipus. The two aspects of the Oedipus complex, namely the father complex and repressed incest wishes, boil down to the ambivalent attitude toward the father and the tabooed sexual object. They are both present in the Chinese dragon worship. As a conclusion of my study, I will present a unified interpretation on these two aspects of the Oedipus complex in the Chinese dragon worship. At the same time, I will also make out certain distinctive features of the early Chinese solution to such psychological syndrome that are beyond universal psychoanalytic determinations. The dragon (long 龍) has long been a symbol of the Chinese people. The first appearances of Chinese images of dragon date back more than 5,000 years. 1 These & Huaiyu Wang

Ambivalence and penetration of boundaries in the worship of Dionysos: Analysing the enacting of psychical conflicts in religious ritual and myth, with reference to societal structure

2018

This thesis draws on Freud to understand the innate human need to create boundaries and argues that ambivalence is an inescapable dilemma in their creation. It argues that a re-reading of Freud’s major thesis in Totem and Taboo via an engagement with the Dionysos myth and cult scholarship allows for a new understanding of dominant forms of hegemonic psychic and social formations that attempt to keep in place a false opposition of polis and phusis, self and Other, resulting in the perpetuation of oppressive structures and processes. The primary methodological claim of the thesis is that prior psychoanalytic engagements with cultus scholarship have suffered from being either insufficiently thorough or diffused in attempts to be comparative. A more holistic and detailed approach allows us to ground a psychoanalytic interpretation in the realities of said culture, allowing us to critique Freud’s misreading of Dionysos regarding the Primal Father and the psychic transmission of the Prima...

A Dark Trace

2021

Sigmund Freud, in his search for the origins of the sense of guilt in individual life and culture, regularly speaks of “reading a dark trace”, thus referring to the Oedipus myth as a myth on the problem of human guilt. The sense of guilt is indeed a trace that leads deep into the individual’s mental life, into his childhood life, and into the prehistory of culture and religion. In this book this trace is followed and thus Freud’s thought on the sense of guilt as a central issue in his work is analyzed, from the earliest studies on the moral and “guilty” characters of the hysterics, via the later complex differentiations in the concept of the sense of guilt, unto the analyses of civilization’s discontents and Jewish sense of guilt. The sense of guilt is a key issue in Freudian psychoanalysis, not only in relation to other key concepts in psychoanalytic theory, but also in relation to debates with others, such as Carl Gustav Jung or Melanie Klein, Freud was engaged in.

A case study. and introduction ©2015-23 by Frits Kaal (72ys) In this study I will demonstrate forty years of 'figuration-building,,' bubbles, 'clouds,' stigmas and stereotypes at Bijlmermeer, Amsterdam, remaining static in several key bubbles those 40 years. There's a discussion on these 'figurations' and what 'they' might be saying about each-other, and on Freuds 'The Dissolution of the Eudipus-Complex, and his 'New Lectures on Psychoanalysis' (Freud S 1924/76) and 1915-7/33.. 'They' is a concoction referring to people with overt similarities, talking in their slang. It's a long story, but it shows humans' at work in time! Especially with the A + M Mitscherlich course on Social Psychology/Sociology, Simone de Beauvoirs and Freuds citations.
