Trauma, Prejudice, Large-Group Identity and Psychoanalysis
Escaping Nazi annexation of Austria, Sigmund Freud and his family left there in 1938 to live the rest of their lives in exile in the house now known as the Freud Museum in London. This paper is based upon the author’s Holocaust Day Memorial Lecture delivered virtually at this museum on January 27, 2021, which marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. Besides remembering those who were lost during World War II, the content of this paper includes a description of different types of massive traumas, with a focus on disasters at the hand of the Other, and their impact on individuals and large groups. Sigmund Freud’s ideas about relationships between communities and countries with adjoining territories, as well as large-group psychology, are updated, and individuals’ and large groups’ needs to grasp onto large-group identities is explained and illustrated with case reports.

Disciplines, Serendipity, Case Studies
In this article I will share some reflections on my own experience as a historian. However, I will refrain from proposing my own case as a model. I dislike preaching; moreover, I regard ego-centred preaching as a ridiculous posture. So please: note what I will say, and then follow a completely different path.

The Somnophile’s Guide to Cinema: An Interview with Jean Ma
Jean Ma was the keynote speaker for the 12th Visual and Cultural Studies Graduate Conference in 2019, dedicated to the theme “Rest and the Rest: Aesthetics of Idleness.” Since the inaugural event in 1995, the biennial conference has convened scholars from a variety of fields, such as film studies, museum studies, art history, and cultural anthropology, in accordance with the interdisciplinary approach of the program. Before the conference, students from the graduate program of Visual and Cultural Studies and the English department formed a reading group, which read and discussed parts of Ma’s first two books—Melancholy Drift: Marking Time in Chinese Cinema and Sounding the Modern Woman—as well as a portion of her current book At the Edges of Sleep, forthcoming with University of California Press. Ma also shared her experience as a graduate student at a time when Chinese film studies was an emerging field, and later as a film scholar based in an art history program. [...]the distinction between non-REM and REM sleep is crucial—REM sleep being when we dream, and non-REM being when we’re in deeper sleep states.

Re: Search Technologies: A Counterfactual Exploration of The Wellesley Index
What if Walter Houghton had had email and access to Google Books? This essay extends Derrida’s argument in Archive Fever about the shaping influence of technologies of communication and archivization to the field of Victorian periodicals bibliography, drawing on the history of The Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals and the author’s experience collaborating on the Periodical Poetry Index. By defamiliarizing our understanding of the historical past, the impossible logic of the counterfactual helps us to see it, and our present, more clearly.

The Bunyip as Uncanny Rupture: Fabulous Animals, Innocuous Quadrupeds and the Australian Anthropocene
The Macleay bunyip, confused as a deep-time megafaunal creature, or a living Gothic throwback, became native and yet horrendous. [...]as I will explore, its uncanny nature resides in something more. Praed's bunyip, observes Christa Knellwolf, is linked to the art of white settler national myth-making, a vehicle for settler social cohesion in a place seemingly without history, heritage or ghosts. [...]the dreadful bunyip is 'qualified as the only genuine Australian spirit', one that became a 'stock character of Australian mythology' (113). Gentlemen-I need scarcely observe to you that this colony is distinguished by the most grotesque variations of the customary phenomena of nature; birds without wings scour our plains, and marsupial quadrupeds, with claws on their fore paws and talons on their hind legs, like birds, hop on their tails; the moles lay eggs and have ducks' bills; ... fish for which it is utterly impossible to find a place in the existing systems of scientific men ... [...]lately it was supposed that nearly all our quadrupeds belong or were intimately related to the glires of Linnaeus; but ... lately ... rumours have reached us of a huge animal of the fere order disporting in clumsy gambols and inhabiting the waters of the lakes and rivers of the interior. [...]to mediate on the 'onto-story', to use Jane Bennett's term, of the Macleay bunyip, is to understand the horse as a nonhuman agent that participated in the creation of new-and violent-relationships between humans, land, animals and biosystems.

From Chimney Sweeping to Dual Alliances: How the Law of Reception Begot Mutual Analysis
According to Patai, \"Jewish congregations, associations, and individuals offered up their ritual objects and fortunes on the altar of the fatherland\" (Patai, p. 280). According to Miron (2004, p. 128) by 1914 Jews constituted: 60% of merchants 60% of insurance agents 49% of medical doctors 45% of contractors 45% of lawyers 42% of journalists 26% of writers/artists 13% of craftsmen 13% of large manor estates owners Among these doctors was Sandor Ferenczi. [...]in this same year, a numerus clausus was passed, setting quotas for admission of Jews to universities of 6 percent (Miron 2004, p. 135). [...]at two crucial identity-forming times-name change at age six, with its issue of \"Who am I within my family?\" and the death of his father when he was fifteen, with its issues of \"Who am I in the world?\" Ferenczi integrated his identity and, as did his father, chose Hungary.
