Repost from my former self to remind you that my latest blog post, entitled 'The Uncanny as we Picture it: Freud and the Photographer', is ready for reading! I'd be really grateful if you had a read and shared your thoughts! 🔗: Link in bio. 📸: I call this masterpiece 'Freud: Found (Floor)'. 🧠Original post:🧠 Sigmund Freud (Austrian founder of psychoanalysis, 1856-1939) shaped gum on the floor... Literature can be analysed from a variety of critical viewpoints. Amongst them is the psychoanalytical approach, which is particularly interesting in the gothic canon. Freud was a fan and reader of gothic literature; this personal interest may well have affected his own work and thinking. It has even been posited that Freud's 'The Interpretation of Dreams' (1900) is in fact a gothic novel, and its publication as a factual work is a universally but erroneously believed framing device! This theory was presented by Robert J C Young in an essay entitled 'Freud's Secret: "The Interpretation of Dreams" was a Gothic Novel' (the 2007 pdf version is available free online). What do you think, is Freud's famous work discussing the unconscious mind and dream analysis actually a gothic novel disguised as non-fiction? . #generallygothic #gothic #sigmundfreud #freud #gothicnovel #gothicliterature #theinterpretationofdreams #psychoanalysis #framingdevice #literarydevice #literaryanalysis #criticaltheory #psychoanalytical #dream #dreamanalysis #unconscious #unconsciousmind #robertjcyoung #rjcyoung #freudssecret #academicessay #literaryessay #academic #repost #ofmonstersandmen https://www.instagram.com/p/B1X4WwDADLn/?igshid=1pm54fkggggnc
