W 1924 roku Beata Rank, de domo Minzer (1886–1967) publikuje esej opatrzony tytułem: Rola kobiety w ewolucji społeczeństwa. Tekst słynnej polskiej psychoanalityczki poświęcony jest w dużej mierze reinterpretacji (jakże wczesnej) swoistego bestiariusza wypracowanego przez Freudystów. W owej konstelacji figur, zapożyczonych z antycznego imaginarium,...

Metaverism, both as a concept and as an arti...
