From Individual Unconscious To Social Representation:A Study Of Oedipus Complex From Multiple Perspectives

Oedipus Complex is a psychoanalytic concept put forward by Freud.It has had a wide influence since it was publicly used in Psychology of Love in 1918.It is not only the core concept of psychoanalytic theory,but also has an important influence on Freud's theory in other fields.For example,in the field of literature and art and in the field of social culture.After a long period of use of Oedipus Complex by Freud's successors,its connotation has been constantly enriched and expanded,and its influence has become increasingly far-reaching.This thesis is based on the Oedipus complex as the research object,through two clues and three perspectives on the development process of Oedipus Complex.The purposes of thesis are to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the development process of Oedipus Complex and to analyze its value in different fields on this basis.Then it summarizes and evaluates Oedipus Complex overall and explains its essential characteristics.Through the analysis and comparison of Oedipus complex from different perspectives,we can get the understanding of its essential characteristics.It is an existential spiritual phenomenon internalized by social culture into individual unconsciousness and a basic structural relationship under power discourse in different cultural contexts.The Oedipus complex,Generation Complex and the desire to marry an uncle and a sister in Melanesian society are typical representatives of different styles in different cultural contexts.The literary value of Oedipus Complex is elaborated in the chapter of value and evaluation of Oedipus Complex.According to its development process,this thesis expounds its value of literary theory and literary criticism in different stages of development.The study of Oedipus Complex is carried out under the control of these two clues and three perspectives.The main contents of the study are as follows:First,this thesis analyses Freud's motivation to construct Oedipus complex from the original perspective of individual unconscious,its basic connotation and the multiple identities of "truth,fantasy,concept and myth".Through the analysis of its relationship with neurosis,sexual instinct and personality structure,the position of its core concepts is explained.Klein explored the Oedipus conflict of infant psychology through early anxiety.Second,Lacan develops the Oedipus complex into a symbolic ternary structure,and expounds the relationship between this ternary structure and Lacan's unconsciousness,desire and tri-boundary theory from the perspective of linguistic dimension.Third,this thesis mainly expounds the social and cultural characterization of Oedipus complex from the perspective of social culture.Specifically,the patriarchal cultural representation of Oedipus complex is embodied in Fromm's and Malinowski's theoretical concepts.In Anti-Oedipus,it represents the capitalist social culture under patriarchy,and in contrast with the Generation Complex,it reflects the characterization of cultural differences.Fourth,this thesis illustrates the far-reaching influence of Oedipus Complex,analyses the value of Oedipus Complex in various fields and evaluates it.
