44: Standard Edition Volume 1 Part 7: The Prehistoric Other and the Great Lord Penis: The Fliess Extracts, Continued feat. Christine Smallwood Teaser

Subscribe to get access to the full episode, the episode reading list, and all premium episodes! www.patreon.com/OrdinaryUnhappinessIn the latest installment of the Standard Edition, we discuss a number of the letters in the Fliess section of SE Volume 1 with novelist and literary critic Christine Smallwood. We examine a complex letter about memory, repression, and what patients do and do not remember; what Freud means by “perversion” at this point in his writing; the way Freud transforms the question of heredity from a biological to a family-centered matter, and in so doing encounters the effects of we would now call intergenerational trauma; Freud’s obsession with witches and their broomsticks; a swooningly romantic letter to Fliess about Italy, dreams, and telegraphs; and much more. The (as of yet untranslated) novel Christine cites is Imago, by Carl Spitteler. Have you noticed that Freud is back? Got questions about psychoanalysis? Or maybe you’ve traversed the fantasy and lived to tell the tale? Leave us a voicemail! 484 775-0107 A podcast about psychoanalysis, politics, pop culture, and the ways we suffer now.
