Repetition and Anticipation in E.A. Poe's Creative Writing
p. 73-80
Abstract
In Freud's theory of mind anticipation seems to be most intimately related to his conception of the mechanism or automatism of repetition. In this paper we rely on both Freud's and Lacan's explanation of the clinical phenomenon of the compulsion to repeat in order to shed more light on some aspects of the life and work of E.A. Poe. More specifically, we argue that Poe's biography as well as his Tales of mystery and imagination and above all, his poetry, witness both of the repetition determined by the signifier (automaton) and of the repetition of what has not been(tuché).
