Freud’s Two Moseses
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2006.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Freud devoted two texts to Moses : The Moses of Michelangelo (1914) and Moses and Monotheism (1939). The present article develops the hypothesis whereby these two Moses represent two different figures of the father, yielding two aspects of power: there are thus two figures of the father, one dead, the other failing to die. For Freud, Moses appears as this original player who, in one case, breaks the tablets of the law and, in the second, holds back from breaking them. Does this change in the meaning of power have a sexual side to it? This is the question addressed through an analysis that also covers the meaning Freud confers on the concepts of tradition, heritage and monotheism.
