Rather, it is concerned with why this interpretation plays such an important role in demonstrating the contemporary relevance of psychoanalytic concepts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order for Freud to use the Oedipus complex as a means for the interpretation of texts, it was necessary first of all for a particular notion of Oedipus, belonging to the Romantic reinvention of Greek antiquity, to have produced a certain idea of the power of that thought which does not think, and the power of that speech which remains silent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom this it does not follow that the Freudian unconscious was already prefigured by the aesthetic unconscious. Freud's 'aesthetic' analyses reveal instead a tension between the two forms of unconscious. In this concise and brilliant text Rancière brings out this tension and shows us what is at stake in this confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Rancière\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745646433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745646435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Jacques Rancière","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46140686991615,"sku":"9780745646435","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a4bb755-beb5-4b45-9b5a-8b32b0f377c4.jpg?v=1726596748","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-aesthetic-unconscious-jacques-rancizure-9780745646435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
