This book reconsiders standard narratives regarding Austrian émigrés and exiles to Britain by addressing the seminal role of Sigmund Freud and his writings, and the critical part played by his contemporaries, in the construction of a method promoting humanized relations between individual and society and subjectivity and culture. This anthology presents groundbreaking examples of the manners in which well-known personalities including psychoanalysts Anna Freud and Ernst Kris, sociologist Marie Jahoda, authors Stefan Zweig and Hilde Spiel, film director Berthold Viertel, architect Ernst Freud, and artist Oskar Kokoschka, achieved a greater impact, and contributed to the broadening of British and global cultures, through constructing a psychologically effective language and activating their émigré networks. They advanced a visionary Viennese tradition through political and social engagements and through promoting humanistic perspectives in their scientific, educational and artistic works.

Der Sammelband beschäftigt sich mit der Anwendung kulturwissenschaftlicher Ansätze im zentral- und südosteuropäischen Kontext. Zu Wort kommen Forscherinnen und Forscher, die sich mit einschlägigen Fragen im Bereich von Kulturanalyse und Kulturwissenschaft beschäftigen. Die film- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Aufsätze verbindet die Bezugnahme auf historische Ereignisse sowie deren kulturellen Hintergrund, den wir ansonsten nur auf der Ebene des Politischen wahrnehmen. Mit Blick auf konkrete Beispiele werden dabei methodische und theoretische Fragen zu Alterität, Raum, Gedächtnis & Erinnerung sowie Identität thematisiert und entfaltet.

Kulturanalyse im zentraleuropäischen Kontext

Herman Westerink

Freud’s Dora case and contemporary debates on gender, sexuality and queer theory ‘Dora’ is one the most important and interesting case studies Sigmund Freud conducted and later described. It constitutes a key text in his oeuvre and finds itself at the crossroads of his studies in hysteria, the theory of sexuality and dream interpretation. The Dora case is both a literary and theoretically ground-breaking text and an account of a ‘failed’ treatment. In Dora, Hysteria and Gender renowned Freud scholars reflect on the Dora case, presenting various innovative and controversial perspectives and elaborating the significance of the text for contemporary debates on gender, sexuality and queer theory. This volume is of interest for psychoanalysts and scholars working on psychoanalysis, sexuality, gender, queer theory, philosophical anthropology and literary studies. Contributors: Rachel B.
