TY - GEN T1 - Freudian repression : conversation creating the unconscious A1 - Billig, Michael LA - English PP - Cambridge, U.K. ; New York PB - Cambridge University Press YR - 1999 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_ocm48138387 AB - "In Freudian Repression, Michael Billig presents an original reformulation of Freud's concept of repression, showing that in his theory of the unconscious he fails to examine how people actually repress shameful thoughts. Drawing on recent insights from discursive psychology, Billig suggests that in learning to speak we also learn what not to say: language is thus both expressive and repressive. He applies this perspective to some of Freud's classic case histories such as 'Dora' and the 'Rat Man' and the great psychologist's own life to show the importance of small words in speech. By focusing on previously overlooked exchanges, even Freud himself can be seen to be repressing. Freudian Repression also offers new insights on the current debate about recovered memories and the ideological background to psychoanalysis which will guarantee its interdisciplinary appeal to psychologists, language theorists, discourse analysts, students of psychoanalysis, literary studies and sociologists."--Publisher's description OP - 290 CN - BF175.5.R44 B55 1999eb SN - 9780511490088 SN - 0511490089 SN - 9780511005664 SN - 0511005660 SN - 9780511172298 SN - 051117229X SN - 0511150415 SN - 9780511150418 SN - 9780511052101 SN - 0511052103 SN - 9780521650526 SN - 0521650526 SN - 9780521659567 SN - 0521659566 KW - Freud, Sigmund, : 1856-1939.
