ABSTRACT
Chapter 1 considered how the subjectivity of the collector as ‘true resident’ of the interior developed along with the collection as a particular construal of a world of things. This chapter examines relationships between subjectivity and the interior in a more specific way. Three framings of Freudian psychoanalysis will be considered: first, a consideration of psychoanalysis as a technology of subjectification, with the interior as a key part of its mechanism; second, an examination of Sigmund Freud’s Viennese consulting rooms as the domestic scene of his psychoanalytic practice; and third, speculations about the role of the interior in the formulation of a psychoanalytic theorization of subjectivity.
