Sažetak
Drawing on a reference to recompense in Freud’s 1917 study of mourning and melancholia, I argue that this economic moment is how Freud anticipates his theory of the death-drive, as well as his mobilization of masochism in the 1920s. If that implies that an economic moment underlies the invention of a formal principle in psychoanalysis, it also implies that mourning, not masochism, may be the position where recompense finds its psychoanalytic rationale and rationality. Finally, I argue that melancholia, by this account, remains exempt from recompense, and serves to indicate, in and for psychoanalysis, the domain of the theological crime.
