Originally published in 1990. This uniquely fascinating study
approaches the problem of autobiography from two directions: first
assessing theories of the self, consciousness and language
developed by both Freud and Derrida; second through the reading of
the autobiographical aspects of their writings. The book begins
with looking at the issue of making sense of a life by means of
representation, through autobiography, within the field of
psychological phenomena - screen memories, mourning, obsession,
hysteria, transference. Part 1 focuses on Freud's case histories
and psychoanalysis being used to make a narrative of behaviour in
language. Part two considers Freud's own Interpretation of Dreams
and its autobiographical nature. Part 3 examines intellectual
movements such as phenomenology, speed act theory and structuralism
while Parts 4 and 5 turn to Derrida's use of autobiography as
self-criticism and his debt to Freud.
