Textual Interpretation

I am grateful for the observations of these five wonderful and thought-provoking interlocutors: Camille Robcis, Todd Shepard, Suzanne Stewart-Steinberg, Regina Kunzel, and Michal Shapira. They have prompted me to read a whole range of clarifying texts—from Jacques Derrida's reflections on Friedrich Nietzsche to the work of classicist James Davidson on Michel Foucault and George Devereux (as well as more writings by Devereux) to historian Chris Waters's recovery of Edward Glover, and from literary scholar Shoshana Felman's brilliant Jacques Lacan-inspired rescue operation for psychoanalytic textual interpretation (in the special issue of Yale French Studies she edited in 1977) to Charles Shepherdson's turn-of-the-millennium revisionist take on Lacan and Foucault in Vital Signs. They have prompted me, too, to reconsider key texts by Sigmund Freud. And I am glad that the interlocutors challenge me with questions. These include: why the Left abandoned psychoanalysis (Robcis); how I have come to think about practices and desires and the relationships between “the sexual” and other realms of human existence (Shepard and Stewart-Steinberg, each in their own way); how a more integrated and comprehensive master narrative of psychoanalysis might be written, connecting the first and second halves of the twentieth century (Shapira); and how to delve more deeply into the role of analysands in shaping what counts as psychoanalysis (Kunzel).

The Way

The chapter examines the role of worldlessness in the works of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. The first half of the chapter concentrates on Freud and the way the worldlessness of life becomes the central problem of his metapsychological reflections. This inquiry allows us to define the Freudian unconscious as the location where the worldlessness of life and the worldlessness of thought meet. The second half of the chapter traces the idea of worldlessness in the works of Lacan. It focuses on Lacan’s discussions of the signifier, psychosis and anxiety. It concludes by arguing that Lacan defines psychoanalysis as the science of worldlessness.

Collaborative Structures

At the turn of the millennium, the Journal of Sustainable Tourism special issue on collaboration and partnerships (Bramwell & Lane, 1999), and the book Tourism Collaboration and Partnership: Politics, practice and sustainability (Bramwell & Lane, 2000), set the agenda for research about the role of collaboration in sustainable tourism. Since then, many more articles on the topic have been published and as a result a solid corpus of knowledge has emerged over the years. This lit- erature can be divided into three main blocks according to whether the focus is on collaborative structures for sustainable tourism (partnerships, networks and governance), on stakeholder identification and involvement, or on the obstacles that these collaborative processes may face.

Psychoanalysis And Philosophy

With great satisfaction, we are opening 2010 year with this special issue, "Psychoanalysis and Philosophy: possible dialog?” with 15 studies: five articles, nine dossier texts and one experience report. Here we are addressing the representativity of two areas of the knowledge field: psychoanalysis and philosophy. In the dialogues outlined in this special issue, several authors have brought their contributions from different places and countries: Uruguay, Brazil and England. With this, we could devise an opening cover for the journal representing psychoanalysts and philosophers of the involved areas, discussed in several papers in this number: Jacques Lacan, Sigmund Freud, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Friedrich Niestche, as a link among these authors in this puzzle.

Bad Dreams and Secret Artists: Translating Freud into Literature

The Way

This article addresses the increasingly popular approach to Freud and his work which sees him primarily as a literary writer rather than a psychologist, and takes this as the context for an examination of Joyce Crick's recent translation of The Interpretation of Dreams. It claims that translation lies at the heart of psychoanalysis, and that the many interlocking and overlapping implications of the word need to be granted a greater degree of complexity. Those who argue that Freud is really a creative writer are themselves doing a work of translation, and one which fails to pay sufficiently careful attention to the role of translation in writing itself (including the notion of repression itself as a failure to translate). Lesley Chamberlain's The Secret Artist: A Close Reading of Sigmund Freud is taken as an example of the way Freud gets translated into a novelist or an artist, and her claims for his ‘bizarre poems' are criticized. The rest of the article looks closely at Crick's new translation and its claim to be restoring Freud the stylist, an ordinary language Freud, to the English reader. The experience of reading Crick's translation is compared with that of reading Strachey's, rather to the latter's advantage.

Self Immolation

Over the last few decades there has emerged a small, yet influential eco-Buddhism movement in South Korea which, since the turn of the millennium, has seen several S?n (J. Zen) Buddhist clerics engage in high-profile protests and activism campaigns opposing massive development projects which threatened widespread ecological destruction. This article will survey the issues and events surrounding three such protests; the 2003 samboilbae, or ‘threesteps- one-bow’, march led by Venerable Suky?ng against the Saemangeum Reclamation Project, Venerable Jiyul’s Anti-Mt. Ch?ns?ng tunnel hunger-strike campaign between 2002 and 2006, and lastly Venerable Munsu’s self-immolation protesting the Four Rivers Project in 2010. This article will additionally analyze the attempts by these clerics to deploy innovative and distinctively Buddhist forms of protest, the effects of these protests, and how these protests have altered public perceptions of the role of Buddhist clergy in Korean society. This study will additionally highlight issues relevant to the broader discourse regarding the intersection of Buddhism and social activism, such as the appropriation of traditional Buddhist practices as protest tactics and the potential for conflict between social engagement and the pursuit of Buddhist soteriological goals.

Ao abordar a arte, especifcamente a poesia, como meio (espaço e ato) de resistência, este ensaioparte de duas constatações e de uma confssão. As constatações: (1) para além de todo poder deordem histórica, de todo instrumento de coerção, seja político, econômico, ideológico, moralou cultural a que o homem esteja submetido e deva resistir, está a certeza da fnitude -- a sua ea daqueles que ama. Também (sobretudo, talvez) diante da consciência dessa condição mortalque limita, oprime e fere o humano, cabe resistir. O luto, como modo de lidar com a morte, é,portanto, ato de resistência; (2) Se a resistência se organiza no campo da arte, ela deve se valerdas armas próprias dessa linguagem, pelo que aqui importa, tanto quanto a temática abordadana poesia elegíaca de Camões, a forma poética como elaboração de um trabalho de luto. A confssão: este texto é em si mesmo um trabalho de luto, que se vale do exercício de pensamentopróprio do ensaio como forma para elaborar a perda que motiva sua escritura. A partir dessespressupostos e desse lugar de fala, realiza-se nas páginas que seguem uma leitura atenta de trêssonetos camonianos que compõem o assim chamado ciclo a Dinamene, pondo-os em diálogocom as reflexões de Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan e Jean Allouch sobre o luto, bem como coma teoria de Maurice Blanchot sobre a linguagem, que a concebe como trabalho de luto.

The Relationship

This essay provides a brief introduction to this special issue focused on the life and work of Black Brazilian scholar-activist Abdias Nascimento. The contributors include, Vera Lucia Benedito, Ollie Johnson, Zachary Morgan, Elisa Larkin Nascimento, and Cheryl Sterling who all participated in a 2015 conference at Africana Studies at Brown University. This group of scholars aptly illustrate that Nascimento had long contributed to the internationalization of Black Studies as a field in US academe and he was crucial in establishing Brazil as a central component of the Black World. The essays have much to teach us about Nascimento’s views on the relationship between art and politics, the role of military service in shaping his activism, the significance of black politicians in the reconceptualization of Brazilian democracy, and the importance of preserving archives and expanding our understanding of the Black radical tradition.
