The Oedipus Rex of Sophocles and psychoanalysis
Sophocles' universal classic, ever relevant to psychoanalysis in its continual development, dramatizes a gamut of psychodynamic factors, ranging from the pre‐Oedipal to the Oedipal and post‐Oedipal. Shedding light on those psychodynamics, the present analysis of Oedipus Rex stands apart in three interlocking ways. First, it focuses nearly exclusively on the play's text and not on the broader Oedipal myth in classical times. Secondly, based on a c…
The Clash of Irrationalities in Sophocles’ Antigone
A study of the Greek text of Sophocles' Antigone provides a deeper understanding of the identities and psychodynamic interaction between the play's two main characters. Creon's particular diction, imagery, and even syntax constitute a subtext reflecting his rigidly hierarchical attitude and paranoid fear that defensively overlie his castration anxiety, his persecutory conception of women, and his own body image. His mental collapse is precipitate…
Comment Freud nous parle-t-il
Depuis plus d'une décennie j'explore certains aspects psychodynamiques de la pensée de Freud et de ses implications, qui tendent à être scotomisés par une institution psychanalytique à tendance idéologique. Idéalement, il devrait y avoir continuité entre la sphère de communication plus circonscrite de la psychanalyse clinique et celle, plus large, des collègues orientés vers la psychanalyse. Plus spécifiquement, un cadre historique allant de la R…
Freud's Writing
The study of Freud's personal conception of writing and his use of it illuminates a significant aspect of his relationship with others, and also his sense of his own heroic greatness. In two related periods of his life, acts of writing—which were notably overdetermined in Freud and which informed as well as facilitated a distinctive kind of selfexpression—gave rise to veritable (w)rites of passage. In those periods, the transferential dynamics in…

Aspects of Nonperverse Scopophilia Within an Analysis
This essay is intended to contribute to the increasing importance ascribed to scopophilia in modern psychoanalytic literature. The exceptional position of scopophilia is twofold: by virtue of its subdivisions, voyeurism and exhibitionism, it constitutes one of the two pairs of component drives recognized by Freud; and it informs one of the two major perceptual avenues that comprise communication in the analytic setting. A case is presented which …

Further Reflections On Freud And His Writing
As we broaden our frames of reference, Freud's genius looms larger. An adequate appreciation of Freud accordingly necessitates an examination of how he read and wrote and how Strachey translated him. Despite the enormous amount of psychoanalytic commentary, the subject of his writing qua writing still remains untapped to a considerable extent. By deepening our awareness of the nuances and implications of the manner in which Freud wrote, we corres…

Towards the Understanding of Translation in Psychoanalysis
Toward The Understanding Of Translation In Psychoanalysis
Freud should be ranked among the world's major theoreticians of translation, for he ascribes to the concept a scope and depth that appeared nowhere before in history. His understanding of translation is truly a semiotic contribution which permits us to appreciate a new unity in the interaction of intrasystemic, intersystemic, and interpsychic phenomena. Through the use of the German Ubersetzung in its literal meanings of translation and transposi…
