| Research Abstract |
In the beginning of the 1930’s, under the influence of Heidegger’s Being and Time (1927), Nakai tried to establish a new type of esthetics for the machine age and to challenge Kant’s esthetics. Then, what Nakai used, to establish his idea was machine that Le Corbusier admired in his book To a New Architecture (1924) and cinema as mechanical reproduction. Nakai found in them an opportunity of “disclosing Dasein”. Additionally, to discuss montage in the cinema, from Heidegger’s point of view, Nakai introduces Freud’s psychoanalytical techniques and theory. Thus, Cinema and Le Corbusier are representative of Nakai’s machine esthetics, and in his mind, Nakai connectsHeidegger’s thoughts with psychoanalysis. Therefore, I researched the psychoanalytic aspect in Nakai’s mechanical esthetics, to understand psychoanalytically surrealistic features in Le Corbusier’s architecture.
