Jamieson Webster: Humour, Violence, Repetition: The case of a Young boy and his Mother
, In person, The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis
Jamieson Webster follows Freud's changing view of humour, from something charged with sexual and aggressive tension to something subversive, able to unsettle the super-ego that drives it. Of all the unconscious formations, she notes, humour is the most social, always addressed to someone, and never quite free of a repeated violence. Through the treatment of an adolescent boy she tracks how jouissance is transformed.
