Understanding Sublimation in Freudian Theory and Modernist Writing
Author: Luke Thurston
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040035868
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
What is at stake in Freud’s enduring preoccupation with a process supposedly diverting sexuality into cultural activity? In this study, a leading scholar of psychoanalysis and literature re-opens the old question of sublimation in a critical reading that explores one of the last remaining puzzles of Freudian thought. Using the rigorous framework provided by Jean Laplanche, Luke Thurston resituates sublimation as an unfinished Freudian concept bound up with a much wider history of philosophical and literary reflection. Exploring the misunderstanding and reinvention of sublimation both in accounts of cultural history and in Lacan’s celebrated reading of Antigone, Thurston challenges some of the prevalent assumptions still seen in contemporary “theory.” Thurston links his critical investigation of psychoanalysis to modernist literature, discovering both parallels and alternatives to Freud’s idea of sublimation in little-known works by May Sinclair and David Jones. The study concludes by arguing that these modernist artists, both of whom were significantly affected by trauma during the First World War, produced work radically at odds with the established canons of representation, and that this “anti-hermeneutic” art can be linked to a “Copernican” sublimation, a process not controlled by the ego but vitalizing it and decentring its habitual structure.

The Father Omega Sextet
Author: John O'Loughlin
Publisher: Centretruths Digital Media
ISBN: 1446701743
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
This is the author's only literary 'sextet', a six-book philosophy project entitled THE FATHER OMEGA SEXTET, the individual books of which are 'Father Omega's Last Testament', 'Revaluations and Transvaluations', 'The Classless Solution', 'The Dialectics of Synthetic Attraction', 'The Dialectics of Civilization', and 'The Dialectics of Gender and Class'. In fact, dialectics is arguably the principal subject under consideration here, albeit of a different and more complex order to anything Marxist and merely materialist. All in all, this monumental project stands very close to, if not actually at, the apex of an oeuvre which has chronologically spiralled towards a metaphysical summit through Social Theocracy and the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism.

Book Description
A TRILOGY TRANSCENDENT is a kind of loose trilogy of novels originally written in 1980 and sharing a common transcendental theme which has particular though not exclusive reference to modern art and its examination and appreciation from a pro-avantgarde standpoint that is often in opposition to philistine reaction from a variety of conservative quarters, whose penchant for 'the concrete' tends to exclude abstraction.

Book Description
THE WILL TO TRUTH combines dialogues with essays and aphorisms with maxims in a substantial multigenre project of original philosophy with strongly transcendental overtones, such that embrace a concept of the Millennium which is both a necessary corrective to Marxist limitations and an ideologically meaningful alternative to thousand-year dating.

Book Description
In this far-reaching and provocative study, Nathan K.

From Punishment to Grace

ISBN: 1446108384

Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
FROM PUNISHMENT TO GRACE is in many respects the sequel to 'From Satan to Saturn' (1994), since it follows a similarly cyclical approach to text, with numbered aphorisms that spiral, through several cycles, towards a philosophical summit which is both an end and the portent of a fresh beginning. Suffice it to say that the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism is given a further boost with this project, whose subject-matter, though wide-ranging, always relates, in one way or another, to the ideology in question.

Book Description
When an experienced magazine correspondent suddenly becomes ill before he can carry out his assignment, a young and comparatively inexperienced colleague is deputized to interview world-famous composer Howard Tonks in his stead, and things don't work out as planned for either of them! In fact, they go from bad to worse in ways which put not only the assignment, but the reputation of the magazine in serious jeopardy, threatening the livelihoods of both correspondents.

The answer lies within.
