Abstract EN:
One cannot but wonder that jokes and their relation to the unconscious should be relativily inderrated by freud, also this work clearly contributed to founding the new science. It so happens that this latter work, also belongs to writings about his autoanalysis and that with witz, in the effort to unravel the threads of its very fabric, this conquistador finds himself in direct confrontation with the enigma of his identity. This identity is included within the framework of jewishness which, although refering back to jacob the peddlar, leads the way even more surely to the feminine/maternal character of the origins embodied by the lovely amalia - in the heart of the humoristic process - and held in the greatest respect. In this way, although he does'not admit to it, freud invites us to follow him in the metapsychological elaborationof the bond with the original mother using the humour which undeniably comprises the matrix.
Abstract FR:
On ne peut que s'etonner de la relative mesestime en laquelle freud a tenu le mot d'esprit et sa relation a l'inconscient, bien que cet ouvrage ait contribue a l'evidence aux fondements de la science nouvelle. C'est que ce dernier appartient aussi aux materiaux de l'auto-analyse et que, a travers le witz, dans cet effort pour denouer les fils de l'etoffe dont il est fait, ce conquistador s'est trouve ici directement confronte a l'enigme de son identite. Une identite inscrite dans la judeite qui, si elle renvoie bien entendu a jacob le colporteur, ouvre plus surement encore sur ce personnage feminin/maternel des origines incarne par la belle amalia - au coeur meme du processus humoristique - et tenue dans le plus grand respect. Ce faisant - et bien qu'il s'en defende - c'est a l'elaboration metapsychologique du lien a la mere des origines que freud nous convie et nous conduit a travers l'humour dont elle constitue indeniablement la matrice.
