Delusion and Dream in Jensen's Gradiva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Delusion and Dream in Jensen's Gradiva (1907) is an essay by Sigmund Freud that analyzes the novel Gradiva by Jensen from a psychoanalytical point of view.
The novel is about a young archaeologist who comes to realize his love for his childhood friend through a long and complex process, mainly associating her with an idealized woman in the form of the gradiva bas-relief.
PostStructuralist philosopher Jacques Derrida references Freud's use of Jensen's GraDIVa in his own book length essay "Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression" (1995).
The Gradiva Awards, given by the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis, are named after Freud's essay.
