If you have read Melville’s Pierre, or the Ambiguities, it would probably not be so difficult. I apologize for going esoteric, but there are some readers who have read a lot of Melville and who are also aware of Henry Murray’s importance in the field of social psychology as well as Melville studies. What I tried to do here was to locate both Jung and Murray in a reactionary tradition of Counter-Enlightenment that was aiming to control “the lower orders” and divert its revolutionary trajectory into more manageable directions. It is my view, here and elsewhere, that sadomasochism is the expression of middle-management, a category that includes educators and other professionals. Such persons do not control their own work, but conform to directive from a “moderate” establishment. Such submission can make the middle manager sadistic with respect to her or his clients, if the professional simply parrots ruling ideology instead of helping to emancipate her or his clients or patients. How would that happen? By providing useful knowledge and/or critical tools for analyzing the problems experienced by the patient/client/student/viewer.
