Dr. Lydia Marinelli
Lydia Marinelli (1965-2008) was one of the most brilliant Austrian
historians of her generation. After studies at the University of
Vienna where she took her PhD in 1999, she became curator at the
Sigmund Freud Museum and served later as a director of scientific
research. Her exhibitions, all realized at the Freud museum Vienna,
were major contributions to a renewal of the image of Freud and
psychoanalysis. In her publications, she was the first one to study
in closer detail the role of the media and of material culture in
the making of psychoanalytic knowledge in a deep epistemological
sense. Both her dissertation on the International Psychoanalytic
publishing house and her collected papers (under the title Tricks
der Evidenz, edited by Andreas Mayer, Vienna, Turia + Kant, 2009)
were published posthumously.

Library Journal
"Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams appeared in eight editions
between 1899 and 1930. Here, Mayer and Marinelli track textual
changes in relation to psychoanalytic practice, arguing that
discursive and social formations have mutual influences that can be
identified. This pioneering bibliographic and historical effort
shows how Freud's original text preceded a methodology of dream
interpretation, which, in the middle phase, incorporated, myth and
literature in a lexicon of symbols, ending with canonization of the
text."
