Before a reader gets too cozy with Professor Perella's explication of the religio-erotic kiss symbolism in Western culture, it should be noted that not everyone has found mutual labial stimulation appealing. To the Chinese, for example, kissing had revolting associations with cannibalism. Even Dr. Freud seemed standoffish when he observed in his essay, "The Sexual Aberrations," that the lips are composed of mucous membrane and constitute the entrance to the digestive tract...
Outside the entrance to the MTA, the Men's Auxiliary of the Women's Liberation Front sought signatures in support of its proposed march to the Sigmund Freud Obelisk in Vienna, Austria on January 10, 1970. Rod Weiner, representing a local cucumber processor, offered Kosher dill spears, slim jim beef jerkies, and hot finger pepers for sale to raise money for the Auxiliary...
Piaget was little heeded in the U.S. during the 1940s and early '50s. Not all of his 30 abstruse books and myriad articles had yet been translated from their original French and, says one child psychologist, "we ignored him because we were so busy with Freud." Piaget's current acceptance is a clear sign of how the preoccupation with orthodox Freudian concerns is broadening to other areas (TIME, March 7). A flood of Piaget translations and explications has appeared.* Piaget-oriented researchers are expanding and following up his leads, and his insights are in growing vogue among...
Dreams That Fly. As Freud found that slips of the tongue are keys to the unconscious, Piaget finds that the mental "mistakes" children make are clues to intellectual processes that are really precursors of grown-up thinking. An infant, for example, initially may suck at almost anything that comes near his mouth; soon, when he is hungry, he learns to persevere only when his lips close over a nipple. The reflex-driven gropings by which he learns to recognize the nipple and distinguish it from a rattle, as Piaget sees it, are a first use of trial-and-error logic...
...stylish arguments which plagued that generation are talked out: Nin's temparament embraces Freud, despairs about America, succumbs to the disasters of World War II, and staves off the temptations of Marxism, even as she manages to repair her sensitivity. A remarkable scene in Caresse Crosby's Virginia house involves Dali, Henry Miller, and Nin shouting confusedly at the dinner table; another describes the exhaustion of New York literary society, drunken parties, jazz. The endeavor to write almost seems to subside before the need to simply go on. Even though she was eventually driven to publish her own works...
