This could however also become an interesting moment for Freud in English where the old James Strachey supervised translations for the\u00a0 <em>Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud<\/em> still hold sway. (See details on this edition, its organization & translators <a href=\"http:\/\/www.enotes.com\/psychoanalysis-encyclopedia\/standard-edition-complete-psychological-works\">here<\/a>). There is certainly something to be said for new translations of a number of core texts in the Freud canon, despite the obvious difficulties that revising what has become standard psychoanalytical terminology would entail. Useful to remember that Alix Strachey\u2019s <em>New German-English psychoanalytical vocabulary<\/em> came out in 1943. In this case a new translation could in fact mean a new theory because here more than elsewhere in so-called science,\u00a0 \u201cles mots\u201d do not adhere to \u201cles choses\u201d but rather create \u201cles choses\u201d as concepts.
