In this article, the author: refers both to the common cultural background of these two projects (including the <i>disenchantment</i> of the modern world and the complicated dialog between rationality and imagination) and their common epistemological situation; analyses their <i>search for a plot</i> and <i>search for clues</i>, and characterizes both Holmes and Freud as <i>applied historians</i> and <i>applied semioticians</i>. Their <i>modi</i> operandi are described as hermeneutical procedures, methodologically similar to Charles Sanders Peirce's <i>abduction</i>. Moreover, the author argues that both can be viewed as manifestations of Aristotle's <i>phronesis</i>.

The essay considers Hans Holbein's 1533 painting, The Ambassadors, as a possible source for Henry James' choice of title for his 1903 novel: the painting's visual play with point of view touches on the narrative disavowal of what is there to be seen. The essay explores some narrative dimensions of Freud's writing to highlight the dynamic disclosure of the infantile within the adult. The concept of Nachträglichkeit, recognizing the deferred or belated impact of disruptive recurrences in mental life, helps to understand such moments and gives insight, more broadly, into narrative experience. Drawing on Nachträglichkeit as a principle of mental life, the essay explores the resonances of infantile sexuality, fantasy, and trauma in narrative, and more generally, as a resource in creative expression.</p>","PeriodicalId":46869,"journal":{"name":"Psychoanalytic Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"1-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143014123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
