Philology and Psychoanalysis: At the Borders of Language

本计画旨在重新检视语言学与精神分析的关系。术语“语言学”将在科学和学术学科的现代分化之前的意义上理解，从而解决诗学，语法学和语法之间的各种关系，以及涉及文本批评和历史语言学的知识类型。在科学史方面，该项目旨在重建从创立时期到20世纪80年代精神分析的不同阶段中语言学方法和知识所发挥的作用。基于这种历史分析，该项目旨在将文化理论开放给精神分析思维的发展，到目前为止，精神分析思维大多被认为是该学科的内部事务。这个想法是超越文化分析和精神分析之间有限的“最低限度共识”，这种共识在很大程度上仍然基于20世纪60年代语言学和人类学结构主义的影响。因此，该项目将调查位于结构主义范式之前，之外或之后的领域，因此将重点放在西格蒙德·弗洛伊德，威尔弗雷德·比翁，后来的雅克·拉康和费托·德利尼的作品中尚未从语言学的角度进行彻底考虑的各个方面。所有这些作者都在语言的边缘工作，并调查其非逻辑的，手势的基础，从而质疑其多方面形式的符号活动，不仅在诸如失误和做梦等经典现象中，而且在作为理论模型的结中，或者在自闭症病例中发现的绘画和写作类型中。由于语言学科学领域的这种扩展必然会对其认识论条件和程序产生影响，因此该项目也将致力于重新审视这一认识论。

This project aims at re-examining the relation between philology and psychoanalysis. The term 'philology' will be understood in a sense that precedes the modern differentiation of scientific and academic disciplines, thus addressing the various relations between poetics, rhetorics and grammar, as well as the types of knowledge involved in textual criticism and historical linguistics. In terms of history of science, the project aims at reconstructing the role played by philological methods and knowledge during the different stages of psychoanalysis, from the founding period to the 1980s. Based on this historical analysis, the project intends to open up cultural theory to developments in psychoanalytic thinking that up to now have mostly been conceived as a mere internal affair of the discipline. The idea is to go beyond the limiting 'minimal consensus' between cultural analysis and psychoanalysis, which is still largely based on the 1960s influence of linguistic and anthropological structuralism. The project will therefore investigate fields that lie before, aside or after the structuralist paradigm and as a consequence put an emphasis on various aspects in the works of Sigmund Freud, Wilfred Bion, the later Jacques Lacan and Fernand Deligny that have not yet been thoroughly considered from a philological point of view. All these authors work at the margins of language and investigate its non-logical, gestural foundation, thereby questioning its multifaceted forms of semiotic activities not only in such classical phenomena as lapsus and dreaming, but also in knots serving as theoretical models or in drawings and types of writing that are found in cases of autism. Since such an extension of the scientific field of philology entails consequences for its epistemological conditions and procedures, the project will also be devoted to a re-examination of this very epistemology.
