摘要

虽然在特朗普主义兴起和COVID-19大流行期间，模因与幻觉与现实之间的界限松动有关，但从精神分析的角度来看，它们很少受到关注。本文提出西格蒙德·弗洛伊德关于梦境工作的语言可以用来描述这些数字物品所影响的心理工作。如果弗洛伊德的术语确定了无意识幻想被铭刻在某些文化物品中的操作，那么它们与模因特征的共鸣表明，模因可能是研究群体动力学的大众中介的一种特权形式。借鉴斯蒂芬·米切尔、让-贝特朗·蓬塔利斯、ren Kaës和迪迪埃·安齐乌等精神分析学家的工作，本文探讨了他们的理论框架如何丰富了迷因在群体心理生活中发挥作用的概念化。

On Meme Work∗

Abstract While memes have been implicated in a loosening of the boundary between illusion and reality during the rise of Trumpism and the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been afforded scarce attention from a psychoanalytic perspective. This essay proposes that Sigmund Freud's language on dream-work can be used to describe the psychical work that these digital items effect. If Freud's terms identify the operations by which unconscious fantasies are inscribed in certain cultural artefacts, their resonance with memetic characteristics suggests that the meme may be a privileged form for investigating the mass mediation of group dynamics. Drawing on the work of psychoanalysts such as Stephen Mitchell, Jean-Bertrand Pontalis, René Kaës, and Didier Anzieu, this text explores how their theoretical frameworks might enrich a conceptualization of the role that memes play within the psychic life of groups.
