Between Repression and Sublimation
The ascetic monk is often depicted as the opposite of a modern person. Mistrusting pleasure and preaching self-denial, the monk is readily described as repressed, self-persecutory, and obsessed with sin and abstinence. This essay analyzes Freud's attempt to move beyond the ascetic devaluing of pleasure. In Freud's early works, the cenobitic monk is a remnant of a past we have outgrown. Gradually, however, Freud abandoned this pejorative image. Lo…

L’Arménie dans la politique et l’imagination belge de l’avant-guerre
Cet article explore la place de l’Arménie et des Arméniens (ottomans) dans l’imaginaire belge au cours des trois dernières décennies avant 1914. Alors que les «chrétiens orientaux » avaient jusqu’alors attiré un intérêt principalement érudit et clérical, après les massacres de 1894-1896 l’attention portée aux Arméniens ottomans s’est accrue et élargie. Ne suscitant aucun jugement public de la part du gouvernement catholique (soucieux de préserver…
Achilles or Adonis
This paper analyses the controversy that arose when a monumental bronze nude statue of Achilles was unveiled at Hyde Park Corner (London) in 1822 as a monument to the Duke of Wellington and his army. The neoclassical statue (made by Richard Westmacott) perfectly embodied the ‘modern male stereotype’.
