It is well known that in formulating his general theoretical
framework and views on religion Freud drew on multiple disciplines
within the natural and social sciences, as well as from the
humanities. This edited collection adds to the continued
multidisciplinary interest in Freud by focusing on his
understanding and interpretation of_as well as his relationship
to_religion. It 'disciplines' Freud by situating his work on
religion from the methodological interests and theoretical advances
found in diverse disciplinary contexts. Scholars within the field
of religious studies, Jewish Studies, philosophy, and the natural
sciences bring together their diverse voices to heighten the
academic understanding of Freud on religion. The contributors aim
to establish closer and more direct interdisciplinary communication
and collaboration with regard to Freudian Studies. This volume
should appeal to a wide range of scholars, for upper level
undergraduate and graduate classes and those training in
psychoanalysis.
What does it mean to give a "gift"? In this timely collection,
distinguished anthropologists-Maurice Godelier, George Marcus,
Stephen Tyler-and philosophers-Mark C. Taylor, John D. Caputo,
Jean-Joseph Goux and Adriaan Peperzak, explore an enigma that has
disturbed contemporary philosophers from Marcel Mauss to Jacques
Derrida. The essays included in the volume: Some Things You Give,
Some Things You Sell, But Some Things You Must Keep for Yourselves:
What Mauss Did Not Say about Sacred Objects by Maurice Godelie. The
Gift and Globalization: A Prolegomenon to the Anthropological Study
of Contemporary Finance Capital and Its Mentalities by George

"No Strings Attached" by Stephen Tyler Mothering, Co-muni-cation
and the Gifts of Language by Genevieve Vaughan The Time of Giving,
the Time of Forgiving by John D. Caputo Seneca against Derrida:
Gift and Alterity by Jean-Joseph Goux Giving by Adriaan Peperzak
This volume of twelve essays focuses on two interrelated issues.
First, it addresses the historical and cultural determinants that
have given rise to what frequently has been described as "the
French exception," the unusually conflictual French political
process inherited from the revolutionary past in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries and its accompanying avant-gardism in
artistic, literary, and philosophical practice, both of which
distinguish France from other European countries.
Second, the contributors assess the exhaustion of this tradition in
recent years--noted prominently on the occasion of the celebration
of the bicentennial of the Revolution in 1989--in a progressive
"normalization" of French society that has been the final outcome
of the liquidation of the colonial empire, the collapse of Marxism
as a social force, and the integration of France into the European
Union.
The contributors are Jean-Marie Apostolides, Marc Auge, Barbara
Cassin, Francoise Gaillard, Maurice Godelier, Jean-Joseph Goux,
Francoise Lionnet, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Mark Poster, Pierre
Saint-Amand, Susan Suleiman, and Philip R. Wood.

If the logic of the Oedipus myth were subjected to rigorous and
thoroughgoing analysis with the tools of anthropology, comparative
mythology, and narratology, might it invalidate the approach to the
'Oedipus complex' that Freud derived from his psychoanalytic
experience? This book answers 'yes', arguing that instead of the
Oedipus complex explaining the myth, the Oedipus myth explains the
complex. The author argues that the Oedipus myth is an historical
anomaly, a myth of failed royal investiture or of avoided masculine
initiation. Does this mean that we must return to the wisdom of
tradition and strike out twenty-five centuries of Oedipal history?
The author knows very well that such a solution would be fantasy,
and he concludes by speculating on how his analysis might
contribute to a vision that has eluded Freudian psychoanalysis: how
to surpass the Oedipus complex, with all the ethical consequences
this would entail.

Gift and Alterity by Jean-Joseph Goux Giving by Adriaan Peperzak
A major participant in the influential Tel Quel group in France,
Jean-Joseph Goux here offers a bold reevaluation of both the
Marxist economic model and the Freudian concept of the unconscious.
Symbolic Economies makes available for the first time in English
generous selections from Goux's Freud, Marx: Economie et symbolique
(1973) and Les iconoclastes (1978). Goux brings the theories of
historical materialism and of psychoanalysis into play to
illuminate and enrich each other, and undertakes a compelling
integration of the contributions of structuralism and
post-structuralism. Looking closely at the work of such major
figures as Lacan, Derrida, and Nietzsche, Goux extends the
implications of Marxism and Freudianism to an interdisciplinary
semiotics of value and proposes a radical concept of exchange.
Literary theorists, philosophers, social scientists, cultural
historians, and feminist critics alike will welcome this important
and provocative work.
