Description

The Moses Complex explores the relation between media, migration and politics through the works of Sigmund Freud, Arnold Schoenberg, Jean-Marie Straub and Daniele Huillet. This book delves into the complex history of the figure of Moses, examining how different cultural forms have negotiated the mission of liberating a people connected to it. The authors consider how psychoanalysis, music and cinema have described exodus, exile and encampment as a process of force, persisting today in Europe's treatment of foreigners. The works of Freud, Schoenberg and Straub/Huillet engage with the return of violence in times of crisis, raising questions about the role of media in shaping our understanding of identity and community. By examining the intersection of media, migration and politics, this book offers a nuanced analysis of the ongoing relevance of these themes.
