abstract = {In the early 20th century, many analysts – Freud and Ernest Jones in particular – were confident that cultural anthropologists would demonstrate the universal nature of the Oedipus complex and other unconscious phenomena. Collaboration between the two disciplines, however, was undermined by a series of controversies surrounding the relationship between psychology and culture. This paper re-examines the three episodes that framed anthropology's early encounter with psychoanalysis, emphasizing the important works and their critical reception. Freud's Totem and Taboo began the interdisciplinary dialogue, but it was Bronislaw Malinowski's embrace of psychoanalysis – a development anticipated through a close reading of his personal diaries – that marked a turning point in relations between the two disciplines. Malinowski argued that an avuncular (rather than an Oedipal) complex existed in the Trobriand Islands. Ernest Jones’ critical dismissal of this theory alienated Malinowski from psychoanalysis and ended ethnographers’ serious exploration of Freudian thought. A subsequent ethnographic movement, ‘culture and personality,’ was erroneously seen by many anthropologists as a product of Freudian theory. When ‘culture and personality’ was abandoned, anthropologists believed that psychoanalysis had been discredited as well – a narrative that still informs the historiography of the discipline and its rejection of psychoanalytical theory.},

abstract = {The history of erotic dreams, nightmares, and erotic nightmares offers a valuable opportunity to study how such dreams tested Western ideas about the self, desire, and self-control. Like Foucault, I find it more productive to analyse these dreams, and the struggles to introject them, as sites of self-making rather than of repression. Erotic dreams and nightmares have been inflected by various historical strategies of self-making, themselves produced by different regimes of knowledge such as Christian asceticism, medicine, or philosophy. Erotic nightmares still proliferate today in reports of alien abductions. A reason for this historical tenacity has been the ease with which the affective sensations of the erotic nightmare - terror and sexual arousal - have jumped between genres as various as monastic handbooks, medieval folk-tales, gothic fiction, and personal dreams. This study demonstrates the importance of historical perspective for the ability to identify and understand culturally elaborated ('culture-bound') syndromes. / L'histoire des rêves érotiques, des cauchemars et des cauchemars érotiques offre une occasion précieuse d'étudier comment de tels rêves ont mis à l'épreuve les idées occidentales sur le soi, le désir et la maîtrise de soi. Comme Foucault, je considère qu'il est plus productif d'analyser ces rêves, et les difficultés de leur introjection, en tant que sites de constuction de soi plutôt qu'en termes de répression. Les rêves et cauchemars érotiques ont été infléchis par plusieurs stratégies historiques de fabrication du soi, produites elles-mêmes par différents régimes de savoir tels que l'ascétisme chrétien, la médecine ou la philosophie. Les cauchemars érotiques continuent à proliférer dans les récits d'enlèvements par des extra-terrestres. Une raison pour cette ténacité historique a été l'aise avec laquelle les sensations affectives des cauchemars érotiques - terreur et excitation sexuelle - sont passées d'un genre à l'autre parmi des genres aussi divers que les manuels monacaux, les contes médiévaux, la fiction gothique et les rêves personnels. Cette étude démontre l'importance d'une perspective historique afin de pouvoir identifier et comprendre les syndromes qui sont élaborés culturellement (ou 'syndromes culturels spécifiques').},

abstract = {Aspects of anthropological fieldwork are examined from a psychoanalytic viewpoint using two sources: (1) Malinowski's A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term, a fieldwork journal he kept in New Guinea and the Trobriand Islands "as a means of self-analysis"; (2) the analysis of an anthropologist both before and after she returned from the field. Malinowski's Diary, written in a virtually free-associative form, illustrates how fieldwork stimulates derivatives of significant early infantile conflicts. The patient's analysis revealed the unconscious meaning of, and motivation for, fieldwork for this particular individual. Based on these data, it is postulated that during fieldwork a new, emotionally charged object relationship, with its concomitant transference responses, may be unconsciously established by the anthropologist with the alien society being studied., "But the wilderness had found him out early—I think it had whispered to him things about himself which he did not know, things of which he had no conception till he took counsel with this great solitude—and the whisper had proved irresistibly fascinating."—J. Conrad—Heart of Darkness},
