Why the Group is Mad: "Introjection and Psychosis in Freud’s “Group Psychology"
I examine introjection as it is elaborated by Freud in “Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego.” Against Ferenczi, who invented the term to name a neurotic process, Freud theorizes introjection as a psychotic process. Through Freud’s reinterpretation of introjection, I argue that the group, in Freud, is a psychotic formation, which has the structure of melancholia. I conclude by using introjection to shed light on how melancholia turns into…
One rudely stamp’d: Leadership and exceptionality in Freud’s group psychology
This paper revisits Sigmund Freud’s Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego to examine why individuals are attracted to the leader. What about the leader makes them appealing to their followers? To answer this question, the paper turns to Freud’s reading of Shakespeare’s Richard III in “The ‘Exceptions,’” as Group Psychology ’s untimely supplement. It argues that more than wealth or charisma, what makes the leader appealing is their status a…

Daniel Cho (bio) Kim Stanley Robinson's third trilogy-Forty Signs of Rain, Fifty Degrees Below, and Sixty Days and Counting-is a disaster narrative: global warming causes melting icecaps to flood the North Atlantic with enough freshwater to stall the massive Gulf Stream current. 1 This stall turns out to be "the major …
Curiosity according to Psychoanalysis: Blumenberg, Freud, and the Destiny of an Affect
Hans Blumenberg, in his Legitimacy of the Modern Age, argues that curiosity played the central role in the emergence of the modern age. In his account, Blumenberg cites Sigmund Freud as a contributor to curiosity's rise to prominence. This essay takes issue with Blumenberg's reception of Freud, claiming that there are major problems with his presentation of the psychoanalytic theory of curiosity. Through a careful reading of Freud's texts, this e…
