Winner of the 2019 Robert S. Liebert Award (established jointly by
the Association for Psychoanalytic Medicine and the Columbia
University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research) In the
final years of the 19th century, Sigmund Freud began to construct
evidence for the workings of an "unconscious." On Dangerous Ground
offers an innovative assessment of the complex role that his
encounters with visual cultures-architecture, objects from earlier
cultural epochs ("antiquities"), paintings, and illustrated
books-played in that process. Diane O'Donoghue introduces, often
using unpublished archival sources, the ways in which material
phenomena profoundly informed Freud's decisions about what would,
and would not, constitute the workings of an inner life. By
returning to view content that Freud treated as forgettable, as
distinct from repressed, O'Donoghue shows us a realm of experiences
that Freud wished to remove from psychical meaning. These erasures
form an amnesic core within Freud's psychoanalytic project, an
absence that includes difficult aspects of his life narrative,
beginning with the dislocations of his early childhood that he
declared "not worth remembering." What is made visible here is far
from the inconsequential surface of experience; rather, we are
shown a dangerous ground that exceeds the limits of what Freud
wished to include within his early model of mind. In Freud's
relation to visual cultures we find clues to what he attempted, in
crafting his unconscious, to remove from sight.
