“…Poe had just published “Tamerlane”, an epic poem about the Tartar conqueror, who subdued much of Asia, and founded his own dynasty. A closer look at this poem also reveals an affinity to the style of Lord Byron (Quinn, , chapter VI).…”

Using psychoanalytic theory, it is the primary purpose of this article to frame Edgar Allan Poe's history as an enlisted man in the United States Army. For Poe, these were years of accomplishments as both artist and soldier. When researching this article, two forms of comment are readily detected. Military historians immediately understand the significance in Poe's meteoric rise to sergeant major. But these writers tend not to appreciate the literary history. Literary historians often note that Poe was an enlisted soldier, but, beyond that, seem not to appreciate that information. In none of this is there any sense that Poe sought, and for two years found, a degree of emotional stability. The social structure of the army contained and maintained Poe's psychic structure. This intertwining of the military and the literary, coupled with an understanding of psycho‐social development, is the frame needed to understand Sergeant Major Poe.

“…Everything cycles back to the beginning in the end. Given this conclusion, Poe's [30] obsession with the end, and the funereal subject of Freud's essay [20], it is surprising that Lacan never completely reveals or spells out the Freudian thanatology behind The Purloined Letter, which is that regardless of the route we take through life, we can never escape the 'ghastly grim and ancient raven' that cries out 'nevermore' [31]. In fact, Lacan tends to confirm this reading himself later in the seminar when he explains that what really lay behind the symbol, and the idea of the lost object, is lack and the basic anxiety that we feel before the endlessness of death.…”

The objective of this article is to explore the value of psychoanalysis in the early twenty-first century through reference to Freud, Lacan, and Stiegler's work on computational madness. In the first section of the article I consider the original objectives of psychoanalysis through reference to what I call Freud's 'normalisation project', before exploring the critique of this discourse concerned with the defence of oedipal law through a discussion of the post-modern 'individualisation project' set out by Deleuze and Guattari and others. Tracking the development of 'the individualisation project' in history, I consider its connections with the cybernetic theories of Wiener and Shannon in the psycho-cyber-utopianism of the 1990s, before moving on to consider the other side of the psychoanalytic-cybernetic interaction through a discussion of Jacques Lacan's rereading of Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle in the second section of the article. In reading Lacan's seminar on Freudian drive in terms of the cybernetic repression of death, I set up the conclusion to the article which involves a discussion of Bernard Stiegler's 'survival project' that relies on a recognition of the limit of death in order to produce human significance and oppose the madness of our contemporary computational reality.

“…Όπως τόνισε η Α. Γεωργαντά γι' αυτήν αλλά και για τις άλλες μεταφράσεις, ο Ροΐδης βασίζεται στο γαλλικό κείμενο, κάτι που ισχύει σε γενικές γραμμές, αν και υπάρχουν ενδείξεις ότι είχε παραβάλει και το πρωτότυπο 7 . Η διαφορετική εικόνα φαίνεται εντούτοις από τη μικροσκοπική εξέταση των μεταφράσεων αυτών και κυρίως από το εισαγωγικό σημείωμα, αν συγκριθούν και με τις μπωντλαιρικές μελέτες και με τις μεταφράσεις.…”
