Description:
"Jonte-Pace offers an original reading of selected Freudian texts that lie at the interface of his theories of religion, culture, psyche and gender. She shows that beneath Freud's Oedipal 'masterplot' are unthematized but potent images that meet in 'the uncanny,' images of maternal corpses and dead(ly) mothers, immortality or afterlife, an absent God, and the wandering Jew. Freud's familiar texts become unfamiliar, especially to readers of the English translations. Jonte-Pace unearths Freud's unsaid preoccupations and in doing so unsettles what scholars say that he said."--Judith Van Herik, author of Freud on Femininity and Faith
