영문 초록

My essay reads H.D.’s Tribute to Freud as a criticism of the Freudian concept of time. She sees distinct limitations in Freudian scientific explanations of the human psyche and questions his assumption that time is a homogenous and linear sequence of events. Unlike Freud, H.D. does not consider time as resulting from a causal succession of occurrences, but as derivative of human existence, a temporal fabric in which past, present, and future inseparably coexist. She demonstrates that Freudian family romance can’t be a relevant model to her case and moves beyond her personal story into another dimension of history. She illustrates the political crisis and various social turmoils surrounding Freud before World War II, and criticizes his ignorance of history and his constricted world devoid of any ontological understanding of temporality. She also emphasizes the importance of culture and a collective symbolic system as a medium through which human being realizes itself as a future possibility. While offering an alternative to Freud’s limited view of self, culture, and history, she reveals temporality as dwelling at the very heart of human being-in-the world.
