| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
How did Freud and Kafka discover their new human or body images? And how did their human- or body images influence them in the modern age? Their human images are basically similar. The keyword is "otherness”. Otherness in one’s own body, for example; the unconscious, illness and the libido, things which can not be controlled by the subject’s consciousness. Freud wrote about the ‘uncontrollableness’ in the body, namely the libido, unconscious and “es” in his papers, and Kafka described the ‘uncontrollableness’ of the body as such in his story “The Metamorphosis”.
From the anthropological, literary and pathological aspects, this research has interpreted the existence (Dasein) “otherness” in the human body which Freud and Kafka believed in.
