Abstract

[How significant are apparently incidental or subsidiary features of Freud’s writing to his larger theoretical enterprise? How seriously should one take asides, disclaimers, interruptions, digressions, counterintuitive points of textual organization or essayistic structure and, in particular, metaphors and other devices — what, in rhetoric and literary criticism, are called figures or tropes, turns of phrase and thought that somehow shift the meaning of words or ideas? Is it important, for instance, that Freud’s psychoanalysis is often preoccupied by thoughts of physical injury, or that its rational, scientific approach permits the discussion of ghosts and other apparently preternatural phenomena?]
