A memory of Simon Clarke
Psychoanalysis, Reparation, and Historical Memory
This paper presents a psychoanalytic view of the tensions in assimilating a largely disowned past into a convergent contemporary social memory. It is based on the idea that remembering is making good a relationship to the past, akin to the Kleinian concept of reparation to a good internal object. By contrast, falsely remembering, or remembering by controlling unwanted memories, is a form of manic reparation that denigrates a good internal object.…
Devaluing and repairing the internal world
The Financial Crisis
The recent financial crisis has shaken the financial system and affected everyone's economic well-being. It has also shaken the framework of stability and trust in rational, ordered management, and injected an anxiety that irrationality is closer than we thought but that no-one really understands it. This essay argues that the financial crisis offers a way to look at a feature of masculinity that is a grounding assumption of both culture and the …
A psychoanalytic reflection on collective memory as a psychosocial enclave
Phallic and seminal masculinity
Both inside and outside psychoanalysis, the word, 'seminal', is used to praise a creative contribution to science and culture. Rarely, however, does it refer to male procreativity, to the structures and functions that subserve it or to the anxiety related to a threat to it. This situation becomes evident in the concept of castration anxiety, which typically refers, with Freud, to cutting off the penis and not to extirpating the testicles. This ph…

The Citizen Psychoanalyst and the Psychoanalytic Social Activist
The Absolute State of Mind in Society and the Individual
Psychoanalysis, Politics and the Self-Awareness of Society
The Containing Matrix of the Social
This paper is an experiment in cultural analysis. Rather than use an artifact, such as a novel, film, or painting, we will base our analysis on two personal experiences. An artifact, which is available to anyone, has the advantage that anyone could compare what we say about it with his or her own view, and arguments could be tested against each other. The advantage of personal experience is that the theory is part of it, an account of it in the m…
Psychoanalysis and the scientific mind
It is a tempting exercise, both historically and psychoanalytically, to contribute to a psychoanalytic understanding of Robert Boyle. Over many years, historians of science have been amassing evidence of science as a social activity, part of the culture of its time. As these studies progress, they stumble into psychoanalytic territory willy nilly. Indeed, the very notion of enquiry into nature becomes a psychoanalytic issue, as soon as we think o…
Historical imagination/psychoanalytical imagination
Oral History and the Unconscious1
An oral historian talks to the people whom he or she studies. The simple fact of this interaction brings to the surface some key features of historical research. The investigator engages with the objects of study participates in their world and in doing so becomes a character in the story who, like the other characters, is an interpreter of the events. The relationship between the historian and the people who have become his or her subject joins …

Book reviews in this article: Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor
Chlorosis and chronic disease in nineteenth‐century Britain
The sociologists have delineated social “roles” which characterize the public features of illness, and professional roles which define the socially sanctioned behavior of physicians. The source of the contradiction between the data and the interpretation may lie in a socially structured perception of illness which excluded occupation as an exciting cause. The illness of working-class girls was interpreted in terms inappropriate to their working c…
The Historiography of Scientific Medicine
It is clear from the title that this paper has an historiographical emphasis, one which might seem naive to the professional historian, but one which is not at all so naive to the historian of science or medicine. For me, these disciplines should speak to the present; my aim is to direct our attention to the failure of the history of medicine in this respect, and to suggest possible linkages with the human sciences, whose energies are so directed…
