Where does hate come from: is it constitutionally inside us, or caused by external, environmental factors?
Make reference to theorist such a freud, Marx, Fanon and Winnicott
Been looking at psychoanalytic theories about formation of subjectivity and role of ‘hate’, aggression, hostility in that process.
•Freud and struggle between life and death instinct; ‘fusion’; ‘resolution’ of Oedipus conflict and location in/psychic installation of ‘civilisation’
•Klein and struggle between loving and destructive impulses – latter in form of envy; splitting; move from P-S to D position; role of maternal care and ability to live with ambivalence
Winnicott and ‘good enough’ mothering; owning one’s hating feelings as facilitating capacity to love/care
