The interesting fact I found out was that when he was invited to America to lecture at a university, after sightseeing, he proclaimed America "one big mistake" and returned to Vienna. :-P Hmmm.... Anyway, we discussed that America seems to be a very "for the individual" nation (example: religion, specifically American Protestantism) and so Freud's "Psychoanalysis" really took with the American public during the 1920s. This spurred "popular Freudianism" in the U.S. that contradicted Freud's original idea that not all unconscious psychological workings of the mind should be revealed because of the negative impact upon society, since most of these workings were based upon a basic sexual desire. With popular Freudianism, all psychological repressions should be let out in the open, leading to very liberal ideas and things -- an idea that later resurfaced around the 1960s. Popular Freudianism also seemed to have an impact on advertising of the day, specifically in a Lucky Strikes ad with a woman offering cigarettes to two men. All right, so I'm done with rehashing lecture. I just found it kind of interesting. |
