Intro to Freud - Links and Such

Alrighty ya'll...

Let the Discontentment begin!

Here is a set of discussion questions - think about any or all of them, and come up with something brilliant to share with us on Monday. Remember to leave a comment or two when you feel moved to do so - I'll be keeping track of them to use for discussion.

And, as usual, here are a few links for those of you who like that kind of thing:

First, some lecture notes on Civilization and its Discontents. You can check out this nifty introduction, this super outline,or for clarification of the most important terms and an overview of the book's structure, click here. If you want something a bit more specialized, check out this lecture - it talks about Civilization and its Discontents in relation to Plato, Nietzsche, and Homer (among others).

Second, if you want to expand on some of the themes in the book, there's an interesting PBS site focusing on the debate between science and religion that you can access here.

Third, if you don't like reading (or are just plain sick of it - and who can blame you?) then why not sit back and enjoy one of these brilliant BBC lectures on the Sig-Man himself. This is seriously "quality" programming - the 5th one, about Freud's theory of jokes, is my favourite.

Well, it's a start. More good stuff to come. In the meantime, DO YOUR READING and ride that wave of oceanic feeling.

See you Monday,
Clara
