- Synopsis
- In this bold rereading of Freud's cultural texts, Diane Jonte-Pace uncovers an undeveloped "counter thesis," one that repeatedly interrupts or subverts his well-known Oedipal masterplot. The counter thesis is evident in three clusters of themes within Freud's work: maternity, mortality, and immortality; Judaism and anti-Semitism; and mourning and melancholia.
