Assuming that psychic reality and social phenomena are two sides of the same social totality, this article attempts to discuss the building up of the concept of superego in the Freudian text emphasizing its social roots and the function it performs as the representative of the symbolic law. Critical turning points in the development of the concept are presented and possible theoretical consequences of Freud's argument in >Civilization and its Discontents< are questioned when considered against the background of our present society determined by globalization and consumption. The author concludes by suggesting that the contemporary superego may represent an erractic reaction against the conditions prevalent in the social realm. Thus it appears to
The article explores the romantic face of cannibalism where the act of devouring human flesh is deconstructed as the ultimate expression of love. It focuses on the issue of love cannibalism and the romanticised myth of the loving cannibal which has been functioning as a successful cultural metaphor since the 1990s. The article sets love cannibalism in the broader context of necrophilia, understood both in terms of a sexual disorder and a morbid fascination with the subject of love in death, Finally, it compares the romantic representation of cannibalism in contemporary texts to the similarly romantic depiction of AIDS, the infection which is treated as equivalent with taking control of the lover's body. The core of the article is the discussion of two criminal cases – Jeffrey Dahmer's and Issei Sagawa's – which serve to illustrate the relationship between love cannibalism and necrophilia. The argument is further expanded to examine various representations of necrophilia and love cannibalism in contemporary literature and film.

张一兵先生撰写的《人是马克思哲学中的核心概念 ?》一文 ,通过对弗洛姆的《马克思关于人的概念》一书的解读 ,指出了弗洛姆在重新阐发马克思早期思想时存在的对马克思的曲解和误读。他指出 :弗洛姆颠倒了马克思关于人的自然属性和社会属性关系的历史定位 ,从而将历史唯物主义重新诠释为人本主义。作者对这种乖离了马克思主义整体理论取向的重新诠释进行了批评。人们解读和诠释经典时 ,常常会带着自己的问题在经典中寻找理论武器。因此 ,对同一研究对象的不同解读后面 ,也许就隐藏着解读者遭遇的时代问题或个体状况。对解读者的解读 ,或许也是一个有趣的题目。赵林先生对中西文化的各种源流传统进行了考察 ,指出了不同的文化源

弗洛姆认为,为了摆脱或者克服种种>尴尬<的境遇,人类产生了与动物不同的社会性的五大心理需要。关联的需要人类为了克服个体的孤独,需要与他人联系起来,然而通过屈从或统治某人(或物)的方式是无法保持与世界的正常联系的,只有积极的爱才能体现>人同他人、自然和自身的一种积极创新的相关性<。超越的需要人类不满足于生物状态的被动性和生存的偶然性,产生了超越的需要,即主动地去创造和爱。寻根的需要人类的成长意味着与大自然的脱离,失去>根基<的恐惧使人类产生了?寻根的需要,即人需要得到大自然的庇护。同一感的需要人是有自我意识的动物,需要回答>我是谁<这个问题,以保持自我意识的统一。而人在社会生活中又需要得到他人的
