Description
Freuds Mexican disciples, Mexican books, Mexican antiquities, and Mexican dreams.
Freuds Mexico is a completely unexpected contribution to Freud studies. Here, Rubén Gallo reveals Freuds previously undisclosed connections to a culture and a psychoanalytic tradition not often associated with him. This book bears detailed testimony to Freuds relationship to a country he never set foot in, but inhabited imaginatively on many levels.
In the Mexico of the 1920s and 1930s, Freud made an impact not only among psychiatrists but also in literary, artistic, and political circles. Gallo writes about a “motley crew” of Freuds readers who devised some of the most original, elaborate, and influential applications of psychoanalytic theory anywhere in the world. After describing Mexicos Freud, Gallo offers an imaginative reconstruction of Freuds Mexico: Freud owned a treatise on criminal law by a Mexican judge who put defendants—including Trotskys assassin—on the psychoanalysts couch; he acquired Mexican pieces as part of his celebrated collection of antiquities; he recorded dreams of a Mexico that was fraught with danger; and he belonged to a secret society that conducted its affairs in Spanish.
