The relationship between history and psychoanalysis has long been
contentious, starting with Freud’s ambivalence toward history,
with some declaring the two fields to be largely incommensurable.
The contributors to this special issue rethink this complicated
dynamic, demonstrating both the uses of psychoanalysis for
interrogating historical narratives and the importance of history
for psychoanalytic analysis. Essays address how psychoanalysis
reframes the ways historians have represented the Holocaust and the
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, investigate neoliberal group
psychology by studying the emergence of QAnon, trace the political
trajectories of psychoanalysis in the mid-twentieth century, and
find previously unexplored links between Freud and the US
plantation economy. Together, the essays testify to the importance
of considering the unconscious dimensions of thought when
attempting to understand the workings of politics and
representations of the past. Contributors. Max Cavitch, Zahid R.
Chaudhary, Alex Colston, Brian Connolly, Elizabeth Maddock Dillon,
David L. Eng, Joan Wallach Scott, Carolyn Shapiro, Michelle
Stephens
