Freud and the Scene of Trauma

Freud and the Scene of Trauma

by JohnFletcher (Author)

Synopsis

This book describes the centrality of trauma to Freud's thought, the moments of its apparent abandonment and later recurrences, from the seduction theory to the Death Drive. At these turning points Freud engages with the works of Sophocles, Shakespeare, Hoffmann and da Vinci as thought experiments in the imaginary space of literature and painting.
