Call for papers

Forms and metamorphosis of “non conscious” before and after Freud:

“scientific ideologies” and literary representations

Edited by Silvia Contarini, François Bouchard, Rudolf Behrens

Deadline: 30 October 2020

In the wake of recent French and German studies that attempted to outline a history of
psychology before Freud, with a particular emphasis on the literary field, this call for
papers proposes to scrutinize in a more systematic way the various forms of the “non
conscious” (independent or complementary of psychoanalysis) developed by “scientific
ideologies” from the end of the 19th century to the Modernist period. We intend to focus
on their reception by literature, in the Italian cultural arena, at the beginning of the
20th century, which is mostly ignored by European scholars.

By “non conscious” we mean all the phenomena that govern individual behavior outside
the sphere of will and reason, regardless of epistemological category. In this sense, “non
conscious” as we intend it doesn’t square precisely with the psychoanalytic concept of
the unconscious but instead relates to the so-called paradigm of the unintentional
(Jacqueline Carroy).

The papers will follow two lines:

1. investigate the literary survival of late-19th-century psychological thought in the avant-


garde period (Dada, surrealism, futurism, and so on), mostly with regard to
automatisms and the mechanics of dreams and hallucinations, and their use in a parodic
or distorting way;

2. explore the relationships between literature, psychology and other human sciences,
such as ethnography, with regard to the representation of the “non conscious” in the so-
called primitive mentality, or political anthropology, in as far as it relates to the
collective mechanics of suggestion.

 
Interested parties are invited to contact the editors before sending their contributions if
