Freud, au cours des deux semestres de 1884 de son internat en médecine générale dans le service de Franz Scholz, construit un petit corpus de cas cliniques, en complément des travaux en neuroanatomie ...qu’il mène dans le laboratoire de Meynert et qu’il publie à la même époque. L’observation d’un cas d’atrophie musculaire est l’occasion de manifester sa maîtrise des techniques de pointe dans l’investigation de ces troubles et sa capacité diagnostique dans le domaine. C’est aussi l’occasion de participer au démembrement en cours d’une pathologie rare, la syringomyélie, qui témoigne de l’excellence de l’école de neurologie austro-allemande dans sa rivalité avec celle de la Salpêtrière.
This remarkable book takes as its subject one of the most outstanding men that ever lived. The ultimate prodigy, Leonardo da Vinci was an artist of great originality and power, a scientist, and a ...powerful thinker. According to Sigmund Freud, he was also a flawed, repressed homosexual. The first psychosexual history to be published, Leonardo da Vinci was the only biography the great psychoanalyst wrote. When Jung first saw it, he told Freud it was 'wonderful', and it remained Freud's favourite composition. The text includes the first full emergence of the concept of narcissism and develops Freud's theories of homosexuality. While based upon controversial research, the book offers a fascinating insight into two men - the subject and the author. If you've ever wondered just what lies behind the Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile, read Freud on Leonardo. It's genius on genius.
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). The founding father of psychoanalysis, Freud is one of the most influential thinkers of the modern era.
'Freud's Leonardo changed the art of biography forever. Henceforth none would be complete without a rummage through the subject's childhood origins.' – Oliver James
Sollicité par Theodor Meynert, Sigmund Freud vient exposer devant la Société viennoise de psychiatrie, le 14 février 1884, un résumé de ses recherches sur la structure de la fibre et de la cellule ...nerveuse. Il s’agit pour l’essentiel d’une reprise des résultats des travaux entrepris dans le cadre du laboratoire de physiologie d’Ernst Brücke à partir du matériel de l’écrevisse, présentés initialement devant l’Académie des sciences et publiés dans son bulletin de janvier 1882.
International folkloristics is a worldwide discipline in which scholars study various forms of folklore ranging from myth, folktale, and legend to custom and belief. Twenty classic essays, beginning ...with a piece by Jacob Grimm, reveal the evolving theoretical underpinnings of folkloristics from its nineteenth century origins to its academic coming-of-age in the twentieth century. Each piece is prefaced by extensive editorial introductions placing them in a historical and intellectual context. The twenty essays presented here, including several never published previously in English, will be required reading for any serious student of folklore.
Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle constitutes a major landmark and a real turning point in the evolution of psychoanalytic theory. Pushing aside the primacy of the tension-discharge-gratification ...model of mental dynamics, this work introduced the notion of a "daemonic force" within all human beings that slowly but insistently seeks psychic inactivity, inertia, and death. Politely dismissed by some as a pseudo-biological speculation and rapturously espoused by others as a bold conceptual advance, "death instinct" became a stepping stone to the latter conceptualizations of mind's attacks on itself, negative narcissism, addiction to near-death, and the utter destruction of meaning in some clinical situations. The concept also served as a bridge between the quintessentially Western psychoanalysis and the Eastern perspectives on life and death. These diverse and rich connotations of the proposal are elucidated in On Freud's "Beyond the Pleasure Principle". Other consequences of Freud's 1920 paper - namely, the marginalization of ego instincts and the "upgrading" of aggression in the scheme of things - are also addressed.
