„Пак, значи, вещицата ще помага“ (Драматургията на Йохан Волфганг фон Гьоте и раждането на метапсихологията)
“So You Must Call the Witch Then, After All” (The Dramaturgy of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the Birth of Metapsychology)

Summary/Abstract: The article traces an “anachrony” introduced by Sigmund Freud, in which the order of events in the history of cultural influence is reversed and the author of “The Interpretation of Dreams” becomes a contemporary of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and the birth of the dramatist is paired with the birth of metapsychology. This inverted genealogy is interesting because, along with turning the “father” of psychoanalysis into an ancestor of the author of “Faust”, the theoretical question is raised not about the birth, but about the “extra-birth” or “overproduction” of psychoanalysis. As part of the argument of the text is a commentary on the persistent presence of the figure of Goethe’s Mephistopheles in Freud’s writings, so that the figure can give form to the formless, the unnameable, the disappearing, allowing the possible contours of something that refuses to be scientific to be revealed.
