Synopsis "Freud and the Non-European (Radical Thinkers) "

Banned by the Freud institute in Vienna, this controversial lecture eventually became Edward Said's final book. Freud and the Non-European builds on Said's abiding interest in the psychoanalyst's work to examine Freud's assumption that Moses was an Egyptian and from there explore the limits of identity. Such an unresolved, nuanced sense of identity, Said argues, might one day form the basis for a new understanding between Israelis and Palestinians. Published here with an introduction by Christopher Bollas and a response by Jacqueline Rose.

Christopher Bollas, born in 1943 in Washington D.C., is a renowned British psychoanalyst and writer of American origin. He graduated in History from the University of California, Berkeley, and earned a PhD in English Literature at the University of Buffalo. His psychoanalytic training was conducted at the Tavistock Clinic and the British Psychoanalytical Society, where he was influenced by figures such as Paula Heimann and Marion Milner.

Among his most notable works are "The Shadow of the Object" (1987), "Being a Character" (1992), and "The Freudian Moment" (2007). These works, belonging to the psychoanalytic genre, have significantly contributed to the contemporary theory and practice of psychoanalysis.
