Introduction Psychoanalytic Concepts Quantity, Mass and Metaphor Sciences of the Crowd On a Large Scale Figurative Language According to Freud Conclusion: 'On Transience'.
'It is very rare for a writer on Freud to offer readers a whole new way of thinking about the language of psychoanalysis, but this is exactly what Celine Surprenant does in this remarkable volume. Taking Freud's neglected work on 'mass psychology' as her starting point, she explores with precision and audacity the astonishing concept-creating powers of the Freudian theoretical style.' - Professor Malcolm M. Bowie, Christ's College, University of Cambridge, UK 'An impressive accomplishment...By attending to the role of the neglected concept of the 'mass', the author opens a novel and welcome perspective onto the dynamics of Freudian psychoanalysis.' - Professor Daniel Conway, Department of Philosophy, Pennsylvania State University.
