Writing in Psychoanalysis

Writing in Psychoanalysis

A beautiful and thoughtful collection of essays on reading writing and learning Writing and Psychoanalysis grows out of a colloquium. The results are wondrous and impact on the reader at many different levels. In the act of writing we all discover something about what we know previously unknown to us and we learn more about our inner world that we knew before we set pen to paper (or hand to computer). Patrick Mahony goes so far as to argue that Freud's self-analysis was essentially a writing cure. Writing in Psychoanalysis is the first volume in the projected Monograph Series Psychoanalytic Issues the Rivista di Psicoanalisi (the Journal of the Italian Psychoanalytical Society) is undertaking in conjunction with Karnac Books. This series constitutes a major effort to bring about a dialogue among psychoanalysts who while ultimately bound together by a common psychoanalytic heritage nonetheless are separated in their thinking by different idioms whether linguistic or theoretical. While featuring writers of very different idioms this series will also present a venue to make some important Italian voices known to English speaking analysts.

Gendered Perceptions of Florentine Last Supper Frescoes c. 1350–1490

Gendered Perceptions of Florentine Last Supper Frescoes c. 1350–1490

Despite the large number of monumental Last Supper frescoes which adorn refectories in Quattrocento Florence until now no monograph has appeared in English on the Florentine Last Supper frescoes nor has any study examined the perceptions of the original viewers. This study examines the rarely considered effect of gender on the profoundly contextualized perceptions of the male and female religious who viewed the Florentine Last Supper images in surprisingly different physical and cultural refectory environments. In addition to offering detailed visual analyses the author draws on a broad spectrum of published and unpublished primary materials including monastic rules devotional tracts and reading materials the constitutions and ordinazioni for individual houses inventories from male and female communities and the Convent Suppression documents of the Archivio di Stato in Florence. By examining the original viewers’ attitudes to images their educational status acculturated pieties affective responses levels of community degrees of reclusion and even the types of food eaten in the refectories Hiller argues that the perceptions of these viewers of the Last Supper frescoes were intrinsically gendered. | Gendered Perceptions of Florentine Last Supper Frescoes c. 1350–1490
