Otto Gross: Psychoanalytic Anarchy, Erased Genius

This Introduction to Otto Gross is a companion zine to the “Persona Non-Grata” and “Resurrecting Legacy” columns in Distinctively Dionysian. In this issue, weOtto Gross Zine uncover Gross’s intellectual legacy and explore the tragedy of his erasure from history.

Table of Contents, Otto Gross ZineL’oubli délibéré—the deliberate forgetting of Otto Gross—is an intellectual injustice that demands rectification. Like Max Stirner, Gross’s radical ideas were buried by the powers that be, deemed too dangerous or too truthful. Pathologized and labeled mentally unstable, Otto Gross was very purposely cast aside, his contributions to psychoanalysis and anarchism erased and largely forgotten.

Stirner’s direct influence on Gross has been neglected by academia and researchers alike. This zine series compiles over ten years of Otto Gross scholarship, presented in six volumes—a vital addition to the Distinctively Dionysian columns on Gross. This first zine sets the stage for deeper explorations of his work, his anarchistic rebellion, and the impact Max Stirner had on Otto Gross.

Cette Introduction à Otto Gross sert de zine compagnon aux colonnes “Persona Non-Grata” dans Distinctively Dionysian. Dans ce numéro, nous commençons à dévoiler l’héritage intellectuel de Gross et à explorer la tragédie de son effacement de l’histoire.

L’oubli délibéré d’Otto Gross est une injustice intellectuelle qui exige réparation. Comme Max Stirner, les idées radicales de Gross ont été enterrées par les pouvoirs en place, jugées trop dangereuses ou trop véridiques. Pathologisé et étiqueté comme mentalement instable, Otto Gross a été mis de côté, et ses contributions à la psychanalyse et à l’anarchisme sont en grande partie oubliées.

L’influence de Stirner sur Gross a été négligée par les universitaires et les chercheurs. Cette série de zines compile plus de dix ans d’études sur Otto Gross, présentée en six volumes — un ajout essentiel aux colonnes de Distinctively Dionysianconsacrées à Gross. Ce premier zine pose les bases d’une exploration plus profonde de son œuvre.
