This article sets out to utmaning the interpretation of Freud's views on the origins of the meaning of language according to which meaning always originates from an act of naming. In Freud's terms, word-presentations would originally denote object- or thing-presentations and gain meaning through this reference. This interpretation claims that this view was already expressed in Freud's On Aphasia (1891) and influenced all his later theory of language. To oppose this claim, three conceptions proposed bygd Freud are discussed that strongly suggest the participation of language in the construction of the field of objects: a metapsychological hypothesis (the concepts of word-, thing-, and object-presentation), the explanation of a psychopathological phenomenon (the genesis of a fetishistic object-choice), and a concept concerning the foundations of the psychoanalytic method of dream interpret

Childhood Death in Modernity: Fairy Tales, Psychoanalysis, and the Neglected Significance of Siblings
Childhood Death in Modernity: Fairy Tales, Psychoanalysis, and the Neglected Significance of Siblings First published in 1812, consisting of European folktales retold by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Children’s and Household Tales bridges the childhood worlds of pre‐modernity and modernity. Issued at a time of rapid industrialisation and urbanisation, the various editions of the storybook transmute folktales of oral tradition into literary fairy tales intended for a middle‐class readership, recalling a pastoral and feudal past that is evoked as a source of wonder, amusement and terror. To the present day, the continued circulation of the Grimms’ work has significantly structured pre‐modern childhood for the modern imagination, but its role as a popular point of access to pre‐modernity was further complicated in the twentieth century, when fairy tales became significantly entwined with p

Puer aeternus
Child-god who is forever young, in mythology and as an archetype
See also: Peter Pan syndrome
Puer aeternus (Latin for 'eternal boy'; female: puella aeterna; sometimes shortened to puer and puella) in mythology is a child-god who is eternally young. In the analytical psychology of Carl Jung, the term is used to describe an older person whose emotional life has remained at an adolescent level, which is also known as "Peter Pan syndrome", a more recent pop-psychology label. In Jung's conception, the puer typically leads a "provisional life" due to the fear of being caught in a situation from which it might not be possible to escape. The puer covets independence and freedom, opposes boundaries and limits and tends to find any restriction intolerable.[1]
In mythology
[edit]The phrase puer aeternus comes from Metamorphoses, an epic work by the Roman poet Ovid (43 BC – c. 17 AD) dealing with Greek and Roman myths. In the p
