Abstract

I would like to start my presentation with a quotation from Andy Warhol. I found the quotation in an art book store – it had been duplicated thousands of times, quite fitting for this particular artist, and was sold on the postcard displays of the museums of Frankfurt. Warhol said: “My philosophy is: every day is a new day.” The quote precisely illustrates what psychoanalysis is not: a hasty pragmatic superfluous consoling form of coming to terms with the past and of forgetting. This presentation relates, in particular, to remembering. To remember means to write history and to strengthen identity.
