Böcker av Geza Roheim

Dr Róheim, a young Hungarian anthropologist, whose work had already attracted the attention of English authorities, surveys totemism in the light of psychoanalytic knowledge in his book Social Anthropology originally published in 1925. The book is not a translation; it was written by Dr Róheim in English.

Dans "Psychanalyse et anthropologie: Culture, personnalité, inconscient" de Géza Róheim, l'auteur explore les liens complexes entre la psychanalyse et l'anthropologie, deux disciplines qui, à première vue, semblent éloignées. Róheim examine comment la culture, la personnalité individuelle et l'inconscient s'influencent mutuellement, créant ainsi une compréhension plus profonde de la nature humaine.L'auteur propose une analyse approfondie des structures mentales et des processus psychiques à travers le prisme de la culture. Il examine comment les croyances, les rituels et les normes culturelles façonnent la psyché individuelle, tout en soulignant comment l'inconscient collectif influe sur la dynamique culturelle.En intégrant des concepts de la psychanalyse freudienne avec les théories anthropologiques, Róheim offre une perspective novatrice sur la manière dont les facteurs culturels et psychologiques interagissent pour former la personnalité humaine. Ce livre constitue une contribution significative à la compréhension des relations complexes entre la psychologie individuelle et la diversité culturelle.

The only Freudian to have been originally trained in folklore and the first psychoanalytic anthropologist to carry out fieldwork, Gza Rcheim (1891-1953) contributed substantially to the worldwide study of cultures. Combining a global perspective with encyclopedic knowledge of ethnographic sources, this Hungarian analyst demonstrates the validity of Freudian theory in both Western and non-Western settings. These seventeen essays, written between 1922 and 1953, are among Rcheim's most significant published writings and are collected here for the first time to introduce a new generation of readers to his unique interpretations of myths, folktales, and legends. From Australian aboriginal mythology to Native American trickster tales, from the Grimm folktale canon to Hungarian folk belief, Rcheim explores a wide range of issues, such as the relationship of dreams to folklore and the primacy of infantile conditioning in the formation of adult fantasy. An introduction by folklorist Alan Dundes describes Rcheim's career, and each essay is prefaced by a brief consideration of its intellectual and bibliographical context.
