Anticipation, Repression and Error in Freud's 1895 Model of the Mind

p. 3-22

Abstract

The model of the mind in Freud's 1895 'Project' is examined to try and answer the question : what kind of Subject makes anticipation possible ? It is found that it is a divided Subject, one that undergoes the process of repression, and is therefore capable of a certain kind of error. This arises out of two factors. First, the Subject of anticipation is an embodied Subject deriving the force of its will from Triebe. Second, the anticipating Subject arises out of speech acts. It is demonstrated that the biological development of the embodied Subject (maturation) and the inherent ambiguity of language combine to produce repression, and this necessarily, thereby leaving the Subject vulnerable to this specific kind of error : neurotic formations, Ate.
