I'm up at Everyday Analysis, with a piece on @AgnesCallard and Socrates. Maybe I'll be writing or co-writing one of their cool pamphlets too. https://t.co/mdX33bnLzE

Thanks to @EDAnalysis for including me in their excellent magazine.

Psychological science deniers won't like it, but data is data and can't be straw-manned away.

LITTLE HANS PODCAST: EPISODE TWO

https://t.co/UnsK250Jhy

Hans’ father had been corresponding with Freud for about a year before Hans' phobia emerged. This was part of Freud’s broader call for observational material on children to support his theories of infantile sexuality. Hans was very interested in “widdlers”, and enjoyed pointing them out at the zoo, humorously asking to draw a widdler on a giraffe that his father had sketched. Hans used widdlers to distinguish animate vs. inanimate beings, but he struggled to distinguish between men and women. He was particularly curious whether his mother had a widdler – a question Freud interpreted as evidence of castration anxiety and Oedipal desire. Lacan used this question to explore the concept of the maternal phallus and how children enter the symbolic realm through language, exchange, and desire.

Hans was a joyful little boy, but shortly before his fifth birthday, a phobia of horses emerged; Hans is afraid to go into the street without his mother, and this fear crystallizes into a fear of being bitten by a horse.

In the episode, we discuss Hans’ dreams of giraffes and their symbolic significance. Freud interpreted the giraffes as representations of oedipal rivalry, while Lacan saw them representing a movement from the imaginary to the symbolic. Alternatively, we consider whether the widdler is simply a narrative McGuffin—a seemingly meaningless yet essential object driving the narrative forward. In order for something to become a symbol (and circulate), must it be lost, stolen or exchanged? Hans predicament highlights the psychoanalytic transition into the social world that we all, inevitably, must pass through.
