ABSTRACT This paper suggests that to approach another person confident that we are in possession of ‘universally applicable’ concepts and ideas is to begin in the wrong place both with that person and our ideas. It is to begin as someone who is well armed, well trained and perhaps too focused on succeeding by finding what she is looking for. Looking carefully at the particular, looking like a foreigner who has never seen what is before her is contrasted with looking like someone who is concerned with conquest and domination. In particular, this paper takes a sceptical view of the claim or assumption that psychoanalysis is ‘universally applicable’ and that a training in psychoanalysis prepares a practitioner to engage thoughtfully and honestly with race and culture. It argues that although psychoanalysis tends to treat race and culture as if they are marginal and optional, in its theorising, its practice and history psychoanalysis betrays the fact that race, culture and the treatment of what is regarded as foreign are central and fundamental to it.

看起来像个外国人：精神分析中的异国情调、顺从和顺从

摘要 本文建议，要接近另一个确信我们拥有“普遍适用”的概念和想法的人，就是从那个人和我们的想法都在错误的地方开始。首先是作为一个装备精良、训练有素并且可能过于专注于通过找到她正在寻找的东西来取得成功的人。仔细观察，看起来像一个从未见过她面前的东西的外国人与看起来像一个关注征服和统治的人形成鲜明对比。特别是，本文对精神分析“普遍适用”的主张或假设持怀疑态度，精神分析培训使从业者做好准备，以深思熟虑和诚实地参与种族和文化。
