The Transference and the Case of Sacco and Vanzetti

The 1927 trial and execution of the anarchist immigrants Sacco and Vanzetti in Massachusetts offered a complex and conflicted template through which contestations of the moment—between the working classes and capitalists, certainly, but also between traditional versions of whiteness and mass immigration from southern Europe; between Boston Brahmin women and men; between the competing visions of America as a project of constitutional democracy and as a white, Protestant nation—were projected onto the global stage, leading to protests and riots around the world. This piece uses the psychoanalytic concept of the transference to explicate the ways in which these legal contestations turn into libidinal investments in literary form—with all the phantastic satisfactions and resistances such textual investments entail. It uses focused close readings of four texts responding to Sacco and Vanzetti: Upton Sinclair’s Boston: A Documentary Novel (1928), Edna St. Vincent Millay’s ‘Justice Denied in Massachusetts’ (1927), William Carlos Williams’s ‘Impromptu: The Suckers’ (1941) and John Dos Passos’s USA Trilogy (1938) to trace how the psychoanalytic transference operates to create meaningful, if ultimately unsatisfying, political and juridical positions. It concludes by proposing, briefly, that this literature of the Sacco and Vanzetti case offers a model for thinking about how the literary transference might be effective in bringing about political change.

Sacco和Vanzetti的移情与案例

1927年在马萨诸塞州对无政府主义者移民Sacco和Vanzetti进行的审判和处决提供了一个复杂而矛盾的模板,通过这一模板,当下的竞争是在工人阶级和资本家之间进行的,当然,在传统的白人与来自欧洲南部的大规模移民之间也是如此。在波士顿婆罗门男女之间;有人将美国作为宪政民主的计划与白人白人的新教国家的竞争观之间的竞争投射到了全球舞台上,导致世界各地的抗议活动和骚乱。本文使用移情的心理分析概念来阐明这些法律争执转化为文学形式的自由投资的方式,其中包括文字投资带来的所有幻象满足和反抗。它使用了对萨科(Sacco)和凡塞蒂(Vanzetti)的四种文本进行集中的近距离阅读:厄普顿·辛克莱尔的《波士顿:纪录片小说》(1928年),埃德娜·圣文森特·米莱的《马萨诸塞州的正义被拒绝》(1927年),威廉·卡洛斯·威廉姆斯的《即兴表演:吸盘》( 1941年)和约翰·多斯·帕索斯(John Dos Passos)的《美国三部曲》(1938年),以追踪精神分析移交如何创造有意义的,甚至最终不令人满意的政治和司法立场。最后,通过简短地提出,萨科和凡泽蒂一案的文献为思考文学转移如何有效地实现政治变革提供了一个模型。吮吸者(1941)和约翰·多斯·帕索斯(John Dos Passos)的美国三部曲(1938)追溯了精神分析移交如何创造有意义的,甚至最终不令人满意的政治和司法立场。最后,通过简短地提出,萨科和凡泽蒂一案的文献为思考文学转移如何有效地实现政治变革提供了一个模型。吮吸者(1941)和约翰·多斯·帕索斯(John Dos Passos)的美国三部曲(1938)追溯了精神分析移交如何创造有意义的,甚至最终不令人满意的政治和司法立场。最后,通过简短地提出,萨科和凡泽蒂一案的文献为思考文学转移如何有效地实现政治变革提供了一个模型。
