6:00 – 6:30 Discussion
2014 not only commemorates the 75th anniversary of Sigmund Freud's death, the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I but it also marks the 100th anniversary of the first edition of Freud’s central text, “On Narcissism, An Introduction”. In this essay, Freud develops for the first time the idea that the sexual libido is not a simple drive, but is a drive that can be divided and flow to the ego and the object. The ego can distance itself from the outside world and withdraw into its own internal world. The ego’s retreat into the internal world lead to Freud’s understanding that the psychotic can withdraw into a world of megalomania where only his thoughts, phantasies and desires are of singular importance. At the same time, Freud also realized that the neurotic, who does not abandon his cathexis to the outside world, nonetheless gives himself over to narcissistic activities when he sleeps, dreams and falls ill. The child’s early capacity to garner narcissistic libido and to experience his body as his first love object (primary narcissism) lead to Freud’s further insight that the child erects an ideal ego by which he measures his own ego, and it is this early ideal ego, the precursor of the superego which he will execute a judging and idealizing function. The individual is always seduced by social and political ideals which promise an early sense of self-sufficiency and almighty power which every individual has to abandon in his early childhood where he was the center of his parents’ world. The international autumn conference at the Sigmund Freud Museum will focus upon a discussion of the two texts, “Narcissism, An Introduction” (1914) and “Thoughts for the Times on War and Death” (1915) within a larger interdisciplinary frame as a way of demonstrating the development and displacement of the concept of narcissism in the Post-Freudian interdisciplinary World / spectrum.
Oscar Nemon: My Father and FreudIllustrated Talk in English by Lady Aurelia Young Friday, 6 June 2014, 7 p.m. Admission free, please register: veranstaltung@freud-museum.at Lady Aurelia Young will give an illustrated talk in English about her father, the sculptor Oscar Nemon. The talk will cover how Nemon came to sculpt Sigmund Freud; the growing friendship between the two men and his portraits of Freud's disciples. These include Princess Marie Bonaparte, Sandor Ferenczi, Ernest Jones, Paul Federn and Melanie Klein. Oscar Nemon was born in 1906 in Northern Croatia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). He studied sculpture in Vienna in the 1920’s, making portraits of many Viennese musicians; he then continued his studies in Brussels. In 1931 Nemon returned to Vienna to sculpt Sigmund Freud and according to Dr Paul Federn, Freud took an instant liking to the young sculptor. In July 1931 Freud wrote to his friend Max Eitingon 'The head which the gaunt, goatee-bearded artist has fashioned from the dirt - like the good Lord - is a very good and an astonishingly life-like impression of me' Like Freud, Nemon took refuge in England in 1938 and spent the rest of his life working in Oxford and London. He sculpted many leading politicians including Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. He also sculpted many European monarchs including King Albert I of Belgium, King Peter II of Yugoslavia and Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. Nemon believed that the vocations of the portrait sculptor and analyst were closely allied. In his portrait of Freud and other analysts he sought to create studies which are informed by, but travel beyond, the sitter's published works and public personae to challenge the viewer to see them in a new light. Aurelia Young's talk will be followed by a performance of music by Hannah Medlam (Soprano) Lukas Medlam (Violin) and Jean-Michel Dayez (Piano). The music has been chosen to reflect various aspects of Nemon's life with works by Richard Strauss, Kurt Weill, Fritz Kreisler, Hugo Wolf and Gustav Mahler.
Beyond “A Dangerous Method”: Sabina Spielrein and the “Death Instinct”Lecture in English by Pamela Cooper-White (Fulbright-Freud Visiting Lecturer of Psychoanalysis) Response: Jeanne Wolff Bernstein (Sigmund Freud PrivatUniversität) and Herman Westerink (Radboud University Nijmegen) Friday, 17 Jaunary 2014, 7 p.m. Admission free, please register: veranstaltung@freud-museum.at Sabina Spielrein has mostly been known, if at all, as the patient with whom Carl Jung became romantically involved, and who then turned to Freud for advice. While the boundary violation alarmed Freud and became the catalyst for his technical papers on transference, Spielrein's own intellectual contributions have seldom been acknowledged. It is as if this early trauma in the history of psychoanalysis and analytic psychology created a dissociative erasure of Spielrein's story and her work. This lecture will offer a look into Spielrein's own work as an analyst and theorist with particular emphasis on the paper she read for admission to Freud's Vienna Circle around the time of the "great divorce" between Jung and Freud. The goal of this evening will be to demonstrate how Spielrein's little known ideas--including an early version of Freud's death instinct--give evidence for Spielrein's rightful place as a pioneer of psychoanalysis.

SymposiumINTERIORS – ART-SPACE, LIVING-SPACE, WORK-SPACESymposium in co-operation with Vienna Art Week, 21 and 22 November, 2013Sigmund Freud Museum and Dorotheum CONCEPT: August Sarnitz, Academy of fine Arts, Vienna and Inge Scholz-Strasser, Sigmund Freud Foundation, Vienna
21 November 2013 Symposium at Sigmund Freud Museum 22 November 2013 Keynote Speech at Dorotheum
Speakers: Beatriz Colomina, Cornelia Klinger, Spyros Papapetros, August Sarnitz, Jeanne Wolff Bernstein
The two-day symposium on the topic INTERIORS – LIVING-SPACE, ART-SPACE, WORK-SPACE will take place in cooperation with the Vienna Art Week on 21 and 22 November. It is organised within the context of the photo exhibition "Lucian Freud: In Private.”, on show at the Sigmund Freud Museum. Spatial concepts of interiors from the 19 th and 20 th century shall be lectured and discussed from the perspectives of cultural, psychoanalytic, and architectural theories. The medical practice of Sigmund Freud and Lucian Freud's studio can exemplarily be understood as work / treatment and production/ consultation spaces, which in their specificity represent the development of interiors to an intimate space and thereby “extended interior”, where the nature of the intellectual and artistic production facility resides. Radical space concepts, such as the residence in Vienna’s 3rd district which Ludwig Wittgenstein built for his sister Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein, will be used as a counterpoint to stretch an architectural theoretical bow over Vienna of the first half of the 20 th century. The designs of the architect Frederick Kiesler, who emigrated to the U.S. in the twenties of the 20th Century, indicate as spatial concepts these reflections, thus forming a relationship with the theories of Sigmund Freud in the dimension of the unconscious and space.
