das Über-Ich
Conscience, not consciousness: society internalized as a voice that condemns the self's desires and generates guilt.
Shore hears the über- prefix as in Übermensch: that which stands over and above the I.
The image Shore uses for it, in our paraphrase.
In lecture order, as Marci Shore presents each view. The time opens that minute of the lecture on YouTube.
Freud's self is a structure whose parts only make sense together: two vertical layers, unconscious beneath conscious, cut across by three horizontal parts, id, ego and superego.
Put simply Freud pictures the self as parts that only make sense together: an unconscious layer beneath a conscious one, crossed by three parts, the "id" (desire), the "ego" (the I) and the "superego" (conscience).
The superego is conscience rather than consciousness: an inner voice that constantly tells you you are bad, a source of guilt and also society internalized.
Put simply Freud: the "superego" is conscience, not awareness. It is the inner voice always telling you that you are bad, a source of guilt, and society's rules taken inside you.
On Shore's analogy, sexuality does for Freud what property does for Marx, and guilt does what power will do for Foucault: pervasive, dispersed, latent in every relationship.
Put simply Shore's comparison: sexuality is to Freud what property is to Marx. And guilt is to Freud what power will be to Foucault: present everywhere, spread out, hidden in every relationship.
