Schreber

Instrospección, negación y delirio

Abstract

This text seeks to explore, from the reading of Schreber's Memories, a singular event: the writing of delusion. Schreber's particular account in distress which strives for a thorough rational self portrait, an introspective, meditative confession likely to expound the foundation, and neat reason, the myth inherent in delusion, the revelation of its sources, its origins, its aftermath. Yet writing, reasoning, explanations, premises, arguments amalgamated into the fabric delusion. Also, the text approaches the political significance of Schreber's discourse through conformation of the exacting, paradoxical movement of the writing from within madness to Freud's clear, eloquent, clinical, interpretation. This work aims to stress the relevance of the visible traces of he fascist world imprinted into Schreber's delusion evident on the surface of the text and opaque to Freud's own reading.
