The author focuses on bisexuality in a continued analysis of Freud's radical sexual theory. A close reading of texts from Freud's work, in particular "The Ego and the Id," demonstrates how Freud puts forward a bisexuality thesis in parallel and as an alternative to his thesis of the Oedipus complex. This bisexuality thesis is premised on the mechanism of object cathexis and identification by which the ego and superego are formed. The textual excavation is extended back to earlier material by Freud and other authors (Trigant Burrow, Isidor Sadger) to reveal the foundational bedrock of the bisexuality thesis in primary identification. This line of investigation boldly confirms not only Freud's view of the fundamental centrality of bisexuality to human sexuality but also its main consequence, which Freud himself implicitly recognizes, namely, the negation of the Oedipus complex. This argument has ramifications for the theory and clinical practice of psychoanalysis.
作者在对弗洛伊德激进性理论的持续分析中聚焦于双性恋。通过对弗洛伊德作品中诸如《自我与本我》等文本的细读,可以发现弗洛伊德是如何在提出恋母情结理论的同时,平行地提出了双性恋理论作为替代的。这一双性恋理论以对象贯注和认同的机制为前提,自我和超我正是通过这种机制形成的。通过对弗洛伊德和其他作者(特兰詹特·布鲁尔、伊西多尔·萨德格)早期材料的文本挖掘,可以揭示出初级认同中双性恋理论的基础。这一研究路线大胆地证实了不仅弗洛伊德对人类性中双性恋基本核心地位的看法,还有他自己隐含承认的其主要后果,即对恋母情结的否定。这一论点对精神分析的理论和临床实践具有重要意义。
