Amnesias of a Freudian Kind
Freud's psychoanalytic project was indebted to mechanisms and effects that were made visible by acts of forgetting. Certain terms for that, such as repression, became dynamic constructions within his notions of unconscious functioning. But there is a notable example of a relevant concept, with currency in some later nineteenth-century scientific discourses, that seemingly remained purely descriptive for him: amnesia. This essay, the first of two …
Amnesias of a Freudian Kind, Part II
Amnesias of a Freudian Kind, Part II Diane O'Donoghue (bio) Part II This essay is the second of a two-part series that examines Freud's constructions of amnesia as they participated in "forgetting," both within the mechanisms of his psychoanalytic project and, far less investigated, as a way to fix the borders of his idea of an unconscious. As argued in Part One (O'Donoghue, 2021), the operations of forgetting that Freud would identify with repre…
Coda
Coda:Sigismund's Wolves Diane O'Donoghue (bio) As the essays in this issue vividly illustrate, Freud's "From the History of an Infantile Neurosis"—ubiquitously known as the "Wolf Man" case—can still lead the reader, one hundred years after its publication, down many fascinating yet little-traversed paths.

Moses in Moravia
Approaching eighty, Freud, in a letter to Lou Andreas-Salomé, described his engagement with the story of Moses as enduring "throughout the whole of my life." The origins of this relationship, usually traced to Freud's experiences with the narratives of his childhood Bible, may have included early encounters, in the company of his Czech caretaker, with sculptural images as well. The first three years of Freud's life were spent in Moravia, where a …
The Magic of the Manifest
Textual evidence shows that dream interpretation preceded Freud by several millennia, but his method was unprecedented. In asserting that the dream's remembered, or manifest, content was merely a disguise for censored, latent meaning, he associated manifest content with notions of animism and magical thinking that characterized colonialist attitudes toward non-European cultures. This paper examines Freud's investment in devaluing dream imagery an…
