Freud et le cas Katharina: Deux sources pour un élément possible de fiction
Rodney Graham
1991
Bruxelles: Yves Gevaert and Émile Van Balberghe
Unpaginated [16 pages]
23.9 × 16 cm

Rodney Graham’s livresque appropriations are not only remarkably varied, ranging from Ian Fleming’s Dr. No and Edgar Allan Poe’s “Landor’s Cottage” to Herman Melville’s La Véranda, but also employ a wide array of strategies, from polysemy and pastiche to mathematical systems.




As in his earlier work Freud Supplement (1989), Graham focuses here on an episode from Freud’s biography that lies at the origin of Studies on Hysteria: his first conversation with the patient Katharina during a holiday on Mount Rax in the Austrian Alps in 1893. In his nine-page essay, the artist presents this encounter as a potentially fictional element, drawing on Freud’s concept of derealization and the episode of dissociation recounted in the psychoanalyst’s famous letter to Romain Rolland, later published under the title “A Disturbance of Memory on the Acropolis” (1936).




Before its publication by Yves Gevaert in 1991, Freud et le cas Katharina : deux sources pour un élément possible de fiction was printed in Vancouver in its original English version as Two Sources for a Possibly Fictional Element in Freud’s Katharina Case-Study (1990).
