In "Housing Problems," Susan Bernstein studies the actual houses of
Goethe, Walpole, and Freud alongside textual articulations of the
architectonic problems of design, containment, shelter, and
fragmentation. The linking of "text" and "house" brings into focus
the historical tradition that has established a symmetry between
design and instance, interior and exterior, author and house--an
often unexamined fantasy of historicism. Taking as its point of
departure Goethe's efforts to establish such a synthesis through
the concept of "Bildung," the book traces the destabilization of
this symmetry between house and self in Gothic literature and in
narratives surrounding the founding of psychoanalysis. The interest
in architecture holds open the tension between the generalizing
figures of architectonics and the singular quality of housing
features. These continue to mark theoretical thinking even as they
dissolve and withdraw, as in Heidegger's "house of Being."
