The Other Freud (eBook, PDF)

Religion, Culture and Psychoanalysis

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1998. The Other Freud undertakes an exciting and original analysis of Freud's major writings on religion and culture. James DiCenso argues that Freud's works on religion are unjustifiably ignored or taken for granted and demonstrates that they are rich, multifaceted texts which deserve far more attention. Using tools and concepts derived primarily from contemporary French theorists Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva, DiCenso draws an unparalleled and unprecedented portrait of the 'other' Freud. The author admirably analyses and closely examines the discrepancies in Freud's central texts on religion and addresses important issues in the fields of psychoanalytic theory, postmodern thought, cultural theory and religious studies. The Other Freud is a seminal work, free of jargon and rich with fresh insights and interpretations.
