Abby and Patrick introduce a new series: the Standard Edition. That’s right; they’re going to read and discuss the entire Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud. In this episode, Abby and Patrick discuss why they’re undertaking this project; the origins of the Standard Edition and the cast of characters who brought it into being, including Ernest Jones, Anna Freud, and James and Alix Strachey; the allure of becoming a completist; the pleasures and surprises of rereading; what a canon is and how it gets created; enticements of and resistances to systematicity; and Freud’s obsessive, wonderful footnotes and countless intertexts. (The Standard Edition will be a regular Patreon-only series; to follow along, subscribe to the Patreon at patreon.com/OrdinaryUnhappiness!)
Have you noticed that Freud is back? Got questions about psychoanalysis? Or maybe you’ve traversed the fantasy and lived to tell the tale? Leave us a voicemail! 484 775-0107
