anamneses
memoirs in search of a subject

First of all, there was the difficulty defined under the name "the wall of private life," a social barrier behind which it is understood that without some guilty indiscretion, there is nothing to be seen.  Freud himself ... does not escape the fear of going too far in his confidences.  "One feels," he writes, "an understandable hesitation about revealing so many intimate facts of one's interior life, and one fears the malevolent interpretations of strangers ..."  But it doesn't seem to me that such a challenge would be so difficult to take up. Perhaps it is enough not to hold on exaggeratedly to too many things.  No human situation that takes and shows itself for what it is can, in the end, be held laughable or reprehensible. "Nothing belongs to you," cries Nietzsche, "any more than your dreams. Subject, form, duration, actor, spectator — in these presentations, you are completely yourself!"
