Murdered Father, Dead Father: Revisiting the Oedipus Complex
examines the progressive construction of the notion of paternal
function and its central relevance in psychoanalysis. The
distinction between the murdered (narcissistic) father and the dead
father is seen as providing a paradigm for the understanding of
different types of psychopathologies, as well as works of
literature, anthropology and historical events. New concepts are
introduced, such as "a father is being beaten", and a distinction
between the descriptive apres coup and the dynamic apres coup that
provides a model for a psychoanalytic understanding of temporality.
The book includes a reflection on how the concepts of the death
instinct and the negative, in their connection with that which is
at the limits of representability, are an aid to an understanding
of Auschwitz, a moment of rupture in European culture that the
author characterizes as " the murder of the dead father".
Perelberg's book is an important clinical and intellectual marker,
and will be required reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists,
anthropologists, and historians, as well as students in all these
disciplines.
