Inner Voice ([info]innervoice_chan) wrote in [info]unfunny_fandom,
The current problem with Freud and literature or cultural-studies classes is that a lot of the time, those classes still take him DEAD SERIOUSLY and take his word about penis envy or whatever as GOSPEL. I'm talking "a Freudian analysis of XYZ Story" with no one pointing out that "hey, you know how you think you're being all scientific and tying together the fields of literature and psychology? Well, no one in psychology takes Freud terribly seriously anymore..."

I will be SO GLAD if I live to see the day when literature classes study Freud as a deeply flawed text in a historical milieu, instead of taking him at his word and then using him to analyze other stuff.
