Freud, in these perspectives, undermines the credibility of her speech by characterizing it as \"enigmatic, ungrammatical, disjointed, fragmented and polylingual.\" Freud also has been often criticized for employing scientific positivism, whose underlying assumption is that the analyst knows better than the woman/analysand. In recent years, however, the return to Freud has engaged new feminist and postcolonial readings which interpret his text against its historical constraints. Thus, Freud's Eurocentric worldview appears to be more fragile and less homogeneous as we revisit it today. Moreover, the feminine figure of terra incognita triggers defensive (hysterical) responses from its various explorers: the psychoanalyst, the archeologist and the philologist. This essay offers a reading of Freud's metaphor of archeology. It uncovers symptoms of fragility and ambivalence underlying the scientific efforts to preserve the distinction between the objective analyst and the hysterical patient, as well as the distinction between modernity and antiquity so central to the disciplines of archeology and philology.","PeriodicalId":44377,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN IMAGO","volume":"78 1","pages":"341 - 366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46265040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Freud notes that the hallucination reminds him of the iconography of the ancient myth of Baubo, who is said to have lifted her skirts and exposed herself to the goddess Demeter. Being up to date on archaeological literature, Freud knew that, since 1904, the name had been associated with the peculiar iconography of a group of Hellenistic votive figurines discovered at Priene, modern-day Turkey. What does it mean for Freudto match a turn-of-the-century paternal hang-up \"exactly\" to ancient figurines showing a grotesque female body? Freud's fits the patient's obsession squarely within his Oedipal master-myth but appeals to a little-known myth about female exhibitionism in order to illustrate it. This paradoxical parallel prompts us to reconsider the relationships within his work between the individual and the general, the ancient and contemporary, and analysis and archaeology-and what role gender plays in all of these. The following essay reads Freud's text in the context of contemporary archaeological debates on Baubo and female obscenity and draws attention to the investments archaeology and psychoanalysis shared in understanding themselves as inheritors of ancient (and implicitly male) rationality. Taking up Freud's interest in J. J. Bachofen's theories of early matriarchies, the essay further suggest that Freud's \"Parallel\"-essay mobilizes what he himself and many of his contemporaries considered an irrational and female way of thinking as part of a new scientific approach to the past.","PeriodicalId":44377,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN IMAGO","volume":"78 1","pages":"275 - 305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48117192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rancour-Laferriere","doi":"10.1353/aim.2021.0000","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/aim.2021.0000","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Early in the Book of Job the hero's future death is represented as a return to the \"womb\" of a maternalized earth. However, this metaphor of uterine regression–a cross-cultural commonplace which has been studied by Otto Rank (1929)–is not what it seems to be at first glance. Job desperately wishes to go down into the earth not in order to rest in peace, but in order to escape the persecutory God who has deprived him of his ten children, his vast properties, and his health. Unable to complete grieving the deaths of his children, Job succumbs to major depressive disorder. He even threatens to commit suicide by entering Sheol, the ancient Israelite underworld of no return. Multiple passages in the book have Job imagining that he enters Sheol, the Pit, the grave, the dust, etc.–but none of these imaginings is actually ever carried out because God is really quite fond of Job, and had arranged in advance with the satan (his agent) that Job's life be spared. For his part, Job is truly devoted to God, and wants to argue his case against God in a court of law. Such hubris, however, results in Job having a vision of God who mocks him with a thundering voice from out of a whirlwind. This divine harangue forces Job to submit. The submission is not an act of moral masochism, as Dan Merkur (2004) demonstrates, but is the result of the awe which overwhelms Job, as Jack Kahn (1975) had discovered in the only book-length psychoanalytic study of Job's illness ever written. Recent research findings by biblical scholars on Job's final words accepting his future status as \"dust and ashes\" (the alliterative 'āpār wā'ēper) are quite similar to Kahn's findings. Some personal Ash Wednesday reminiscences by the author of this article also support Job's new view of himself as mere \"dust and ashes\" in the wide natural universe. The article ends with an explanation of why Job's experience of awe also transformed him into a generous person.","PeriodicalId":44377,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN IMAGO","volume":"78 1","pages":"1 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/aim.2021.0000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44765419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
