IMPIOUS FIDELITY: ANNA FREUD, PSYCHOANALYSIS, POLITICS
Book ID/图书代码： 03360010B43256
English Summary/英文概要： Stewart-Steinberg argues that Anna Freud, as the inheritor of psychoanalysis and the one who transformed it into an institution, is the
critical figure in any consideration of the relationship between psychoanalysis and politics, and hence between psychoanalytic and
political theory. She explores Anna’s relationship to the concept of the unconscious, to her father, and to psychoanalysis itself, as part of a
larger effort to develop a concept of "psychoanalytic politics."
The standard account is that Anna Freud posited a basic contradiction between the unconscious and the stable ego that is deemed
essential to institutional order, including a democratic political order; in postulating strategies for the defense of the ego she repressed the
unconscious and betrayed her father and psychoanalysis. Stewart-Steinberg says thinkers like Arendt have in a sense shared this view,
arguing the unconscious has no place in democratic politics after horrors such as the Holocaust and insisting politics must be based on its
citizens’ stable, undivided ego. This simplifies Anna’s work and misconstrues her legacy, the author says. She investigates Anna’s
understanding of the place of the psychoanalytic subject in social environments, and compares Anna’s thought to her father’s. Anna did
not reject unconscious processes but came to see that Oedipal sexuality had particular socio-historical origins and, in a different time and
place, might not be the determining factor in how individuals come to constitute themselves as subjects. Crucially, Anna’s wartime work
with orphans led her to imagine new forms of identity and sociality not shaped by vertical (to the father) ties but lateral ones. This aspect
of Anna’s work opens a path for restoring psychoanalysis to politics and to political theory.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 斯图尔特.斯坦伯格认为以称作为心理分析学的继承者以及将之变成一种制度的开创者，安娜.弗洛伊德绝对是心理分析与政治学领域无论如何的关键人物—毫无意外也是心理分析与政治学理论的领军人物。作者探讨了安娜和无意识概念，父亲以及心理分析学本身等等的关联，因为这些是导致“心理政治学”发展出来的重要因素。标准的称述是安娜.弗洛伊德假设无意识状态与稳定的自我之间存在基本对立，而这被认为制度秩序，包括民主政治秩序，至关重要。在设定捍卫自我的策略方面，安娜倡导压制无意识，从而背叛了她的父亲与心理分析。斯图尔特.斯坦伯格认为像Arendt 的思想家对此持有相同观点，他们称在向大屠杀这样的恐怖出现之后无意识已经不再适用于民主政治，而政治应该给予民众稳定、统一的自我。
作者说这虽然使得安娜的作品变得容易理解，但却误读了其真谛。斯图尔特在社会环境的大背景下洞察了安娜对心理分析地位的理解，并把她的思想与其父亲的进行对比。事实上，安娜并没有背离无意识过程，但认为恋母情结有其社会历史根源。而且在不同的时代和地点，它在个人构建自我的方式中不会变成决定性因素。战争时在孤儿院的研究指引了安娜去想像母性影响全新的自我和社交的关键性，而非雄性。安娜这方面的研究开启了修复心理分析与政治和政治学理论的道路。(XMM & CK)
