Abstract

Introducing the key ideas and major theorists of consumption in a lively and engaging manner, this book draws on theories of everyday life and aspects of sociology, cultural geography, and cultural studies, and presents a comprehensive exploration of the central themes in consumption and consumer culture. Readily accessible case studies describe familiar forms of consumption from areas of everyday life, grounding the debates and ideas discussed. While each of the chapters crystallize the debate in a specific subject area, they also lie within a larger argument concerning the ethics, the poetics, and the politics of consumption in everyday life, making this essential reading for undergraduates in cultural studies, sociology, and cultural geography courses.

Abstract

Touch is the first sense to develop in the womb, yet often it is overlooked. The Senses of Touch examines the role of touching and feeling as part of the fabric of everyday, embodied experience. How can we think about touch? Problems of touch and tactility run as a continuous thread in philosophy, psychology, medical writing and representations in art, from Ancient Greece to the present day. Picking through some of these threads, the book 'feels' its way towards writing and thinking about touch as both sensory and affective experience. Taking a broadly phenomenological framework that traces tactility from Aristotle through the Enlightenment to the present day, the book examines the role of touch across a range of experiences including aesthetics, digital design, visual impairment and touch therapies. The Senses of Touch thereby demonstrates the varieties of sensory experience, and explores the diverse range of our 'senses' of touch.

Abstract

This sixth and final half-volume of the Freud/Ferenczi correspondence covers the period from 1925 until Ferenczi's death in 1933. During that period, Freud works on revisions of psychoanalytical theory, on autobiographical and historical contributions, on religious topics and on his critique of civilization and culture, and on the development of female sexuality. Ferenczi publishes his probably most interesting, but also most contested contributions to the theory and technique of psychoanalysis. With hindsight one can say that his technical experiments lead him to formulate a theoretical model which has became the basis for contemporary theories. For a time, he closely collaborates for this with Freud's "right hand," Otto Rank. Their publications lead to a personal and scientific fight over power between the leaders of the psychoanalytic movement, a fight that threatens to split that very movement. This conflict - which has influenced the history of psychoanalysis to this day - results in Rank's leaving the psychoanalytic community and Ferenczi's being marginalized. Freud, at first supportive of Ferenczi and Rank, eventually joins their opponents (above all Karl Abraham and Ernest Jones). He regards Ferenczi's innovations as a scientific regression, and interprets them as Ferenczi's reaction to his own personal problems and deficits. Ferenczi himself, however, is convinced of the value of his ideas, and struggles for more independence from Freud. The general tone of their letters gets less intimate, and sometimes outright sharp. Ferenczi writes less often, instead he confides his new ideas and his criticism of Freud to his "Clinical Diary." Although an open break can be avoided, Ferenczi's untimely death prevents a resolution of their conflicts and misunderstandings.Without doubt, the Freud/Ferenczi correspondence is one of the most important primary sources for the early history of psychoanalysis, and it is a literary event of the first magnitude to boot. In none of his other correspondences with disciples writes Freud so frequently, so openly, and over such a long period of time. This final volume documents the tragic end of this "intimate community of life, feeling, and interest" (Freud to Ferenczi, 11.1.1933); and all this before the background of the political and social upheaval of that time.The guiding line of the editorial apparatus has been to give the contemporary reader information about anything with which she or he might not be familiar: persons, events, literary and scientific works, quotations, cryptoquotations, allusions, and so on. It also contains quotations from a great number of hitherto unpublished Freud letters. Dieser letzte Halbband der Freud/Ferenczi-Korrespondenz umfasst die Jahre von 1925 bis zu Ferenczis Tod in 1933. Freuds Werk beschäftigt sich während dieser Zeit mit Revisionen der psychoanalytischen Theorie, mit autobiographischen und historischen Beiträgen, mit kulturkritischen und religiösen Themen und der Entwicklung der weiblichen Sexualität. Ferenczi verfasst seine wohl interessantesten, aber auch umstrittensten Beiträge zur Theorie und Technik der Psychoanalyse. Aus heutiger Sicht führen ihn seine technischen Experimente zu einem theoretischen Modell, das den Grundstein für heutige Theorien legt. Eine Zeitlang arbeitet er dabei eng mit Freuds "rechter Hand", Otto Rank, zusammen. Ihre Publikationen führen zu einem persönlichen und wissenschaftlichen Machtkampf innerhalb des Führungsgremiums der psychoanalytischen Bewegung, der die Psychoanalyse zu spalten droht. Am Ende dieser Auseinandersetzung, die die Geschichte der Psychoanalyse bis heute beeinflusst hat, steht Rank außerhalb der psychoanalytischen Gemeinschaft und Ferenczi an ihrem Rande. Freud, der anfangs auf ihrer Seite gestanden hatte, wechselt schließlich ins Lager ihrer Opponenten (v.a. Karl Abraham und Ernest Jones). Er sieht in Ferenczis Neuerungen einen wissenschaftlichen Rückschritt und interpretiert sie als Reaktion auf persönliche Probleme und Defizite bei Ferenczi selbst. Ferenczi hingegen ist vom Wert seiner Ideen überzeugt und kämpft um eine größere Unabhängigkeit von Freud. Der Ton des Briefwechsels verschlechtert sich spürbar und wird stellenweise ausgesprochen scharf. Ferenczi schreibt seltener; statt dessen verfasst er ein "Klinisches Tagebuch", dem er seine neuen Ideen und auch seine Kritik an Freud anvertraut. Ein offener Bruch kann zwar vermieden werden, doch verhindert Ferenczis früher Tod eine Lösung der Konflikte und Missverständnisse.Die Freud/Ferenczi-Korrespondenz ist ohne Zweifel einer der wichtigsten Primärquellen zur Geschichte der frühen Psychoanalyse. Daneben ist sie ein literarisches Ereignis ersten Ranges. Mit keinem seiner Schüler hat Freud so lang, so häufig und so offen korrespondiert wie mit Ferenczi. Mit dem vorliegenden Band wird der tragische Abschluss dieser innigen Lebens-, Gefühls- und Interessensgemeinschaft" (Freud an Ferenczi, 11.1.1933) dokumentiert - dies alles vor dem Hintergrund der umwälzenden politischen und gesellschaftlichen Umwälzungen jener Zeit.Der editorische Apparat versucht, der heutigen Leserschaft all jene Informationen in möglichst objektiver Art zu geben, die es erlauben, dieser Geschichte zu folgen: Informationen über Personen, Ereignisse, literarische und wissenschaftliche Arbeiten, Zitate, Kryptozitate, Anspielungen usw., wobei auch eine große Zahl bisher unveröffentlichter Freud-Briefe herangezogen werden.
