Removal of the phallus from the signifying field as a transcendental signified is pretty much the definition of air wanking.
Early Freud is best. Don't trust Strachey's translation. It's horribly bastardized with Greek neologisms. Fav book is 3 essays on sexuality

Cool! I haven't read much more than his popular works; more studied his clinical orientation in re: clinical practice and history

Laplanche revives what Freud turned away from, the seduction theory. But he universalizes it and generalizes it. Lemme see if I can find it.

Oh wow, yeah I only know the basic background on that. I know it's considered a major black stain on his legacy

That he turned his back on it, i mean

His idea is that. We are born without an unconscious, but due to helplessness we rely on a caregiver, the mother or her substitute

So like totally anti-Jung

Well. Laplanche doesn't polemicize Jung like Freud. But he is much closer to Freud in his emphasis on sexuality
-
Ahhhh. Well, great conversation! Hopefully we can pick this back up soon!
