Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on the question of “unconscious” in the works of Mallarme and other writers associated with the “symbolism” in a broad sense. The unconscious as a spirit shared by others is related to the “family”, “ceremony”, “life-sex” and “nature”. Mallarme called this concept “Soi (Self)”, and we discovered its diachronic aspect behind its trans-racial universality in the humanity. In Mallarme’s unachieved poem, Tomb for Anatole, the story of communion is depicted with the metaphors of marriage, but the father marries his dead son, by means of a mutual exchange of “Self”, “germ” as a seed of species. This heredity from generation to generation shows Mallarme’s aim of making the supreme work called “Book”, and the relationship with the future generations.
