Focusing on Freud’s main interpretive moves in Moses and Monotheism, it analyzes his scrupulous attempts to provide evidence that Moses was of Egyptian origin as well as the connections he then makes between patricide, imperialism, and monotheism. Freud’s insistence that the Jewish people not only murdered Moses, but also added a symbolic double murder with the archival erasure of his Egyptian origins, is informed by Freud’s intense personal transference at a time when he felt haunted by the political upheavals that led to his own exile. His scrupulous forensic work to reinterpret the Moses archive is thus, paradoxically, designed to counter this double murder and facilitate a work of psycho-political reparation. The essay concludes by evaluating Freud’s theory in light of the new imperialisms and fundamentalisms of his/our time.","PeriodicalId":310859,"journal":{"name":"Freud and Monotheism","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116632890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He took from Sellin not only the theory of Moses’ violent death but also that of an ensuing guilt complex that informed the collective Jewish psyche. Sellin took the murder of Moses to be not only the last instance in the series of rebellions that accompanied the exodus from Egypt but also the first one in a series of violent acts against the prophets that ended in the death of Jesus of Nazareth. This connection, however, between the resistance against Moses and the violent fate of the prophets, which Sellin convincingly establishes, has not been taken up by Freud who did not share Sellin’s Christian presuppositions.","PeriodicalId":310859,"journal":{"name":"Freud and Monotheism","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126232081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of the interaction of Moses with God borrows several concepts from Agamben’s theory of potentiality to argue that in contrast to the despotic Moses of Freud, the biblical Moses symbolizes the human struggle for impotentiality and freedom.","PeriodicalId":310859,"journal":{"name":"Freud and Monotheism","volume":"39 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114349862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method of reading is contrasted with the prominent one in the discipline of literature, namely, close reading. Developed by the Anglo-American New Critics around the time of Moses’ publication, close reading depends on what Freud terms “deliberate attention.” This chapter further demonstrates that reading Moses in a state of evenly-suspended attention is understood by Freud to require an act of faith in one’s unconscious or internal alterity. It concludes with a call for a reevaluation of what a Freudian or psychoanalytic reading is typically understood to mean in the humanities. That is, while Freud is conventionally thought of as the optimal close reader, Moses suggests otherwise.","PeriodicalId":310859,"journal":{"name":"Freud and Monotheism","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114973363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
