Brian’s Reviews > The Unconcept: The Freudian Uncanny in Late-Twentieth-Century Theory > Status Update

So, Freud thinks the loss of one's eyes is the fear of castration misplaced. I'm not sure if I can finish this. I'll give it a final push, though.

I've read more about castration anxiety than I think I ever will again.

This book is really well written, but I am already tired of reading about Freud and castration/surpassing the father/having parents interrupt masturbation/abandonment issues. Everything hard is a penis, and everything uncanny is a vagina or guilt at something you were able to do that your father wasn't.
