Elisabeth Roudinesco : Freud, then and now
58, rue Pierre Dupont
69283 LYON cedex 01
In partnership with les éditions du Seuil and Le Bal des Ardents
Hosted by Thomas Wieder / Le Monde
Hundreds of books by authors from all over the world have been written about the Viennese doctor who founded psychoanalysis.
In light of new archives and correspondence, Élisabeth Roudinesco offers a new interpretation of the life and work of Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). For the first time, the father of psychoanalysis—heir to the German and Jewish enlightenment that fueled his work and critique of the family, modern thinker, and enlightened political conservative—is presented in the context of his family, his inner circle, surrounded by his collections. We see him in his day as well as ours, fueling our questions with his doubts, failures, and passions.
> 6 € / Free for students, unemployed and Amis de la Villa Gillet.
