Only when a body’s inner death is manifest, do outside elements win the power of lodgement in it—yet merely to destroy it. Then, indeed, that body’s flesh dissolves into a <b>swarming colony of insect life:</b> but who in looking on that body’s self, would hold it still for living?My Daily Struggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785498459884222234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19360670.post-18210125571788810912012-01-09T14:13:08.512-05:002012-01-09T14:13:08.512-05:00Sander Gilman has examined Sigmund Freud, addressi...Sander Gilman has examined Sigmund Freud, addressing the question of what role, if any, was played by Freud’s Jewish origins in his composition of the psychoanalytic corpus. Gilman’s thesis concerning this subject is that the prejudices of biology in the nineteenth century classified the Jew as being somehow feminine, a stigma that Freud sought to escape by carving out a scientific niche of his own. Licensed by his own brand of science, Freud could simultaneously lay claim to the manhood that the Viennese scientific establishment of the nineteenth century threatened to deny him, and also to the neutrality that was the warrant of its authority.<br /> <br />To make the case that contemporaneous anti-Semitism shaped Freud’s thought, Gilman provides a catalogue of the most egregious anti-Semitic stereotypes of the time and place, including straightforward documentation of certain anti-Semitic prejudices, such as the belief in Jewish male menstruation, as well as period depictions of anti-Semitic stereotypes in graphic media.My Daily Struggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785498459884222234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19360670.post-44033784381821915512012-01-09T14:10:21.528-05:002012-01-09T14:10:21.528-05:00Sander Gilman:
