Michel de Certeau

(17 May 1925 – 9 January 1986) was a French Jesuit and scholar whose work combined history, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the social sciences. Certeau was greatly influenced by Sigmund Freud and was, along with Jacques Lacan, one of the founding members of École Freudienne de Paris, an informal group which served as a focal point for French scholars interested in psychoanalysis. He came to public attention after publishing an article dealing with the May 1968 events in France. He also took part in Robert Jaulin's department of ethnology at the University of Paris-VII after May 68.
Certeau went on to teach at several universities in locations as diverse as Geneva, San Diego, and Paris. Through the 1970s and 1980s he produced a string of works that demonstrated his interest in mysticism, phenomenology, and psychoanalysis. From 1978 to 1984, he taught at the University of California at San Diego. He returned to France to take up a new research chair in "Historical Anthropology of Beliefs" at the École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales. He also devotes several seminars, one of which is entitled "Historical anthropology of beliefs, 14th-18th centuries". He has marked the historians of the Bussière group a great deal.
The psychoanalytic influence is strongly reflected in his historiographic work, in which he analyzes the "return of the repressed" through the arbitrary limits of official history, and the survival of the "unspoken" in the margins of writing. It is a reference, often cited in research related to cultural studies4.
Michel de Certeau died two years later, on January 9, 1986, in Paris, following pancreatic cancer.

There is an important contrast between celestial and terrestrial dignities. The rays are good but the planetary dispositions, except for the MO, are bad, very unfortunate for JU and SA.
