the narrator’s neutralization, superego silent voice, fictional tricks

Abstract

This article shows that literary criticism (Benjamin, Blanchot, Gagnebin and Carone) read the bureaucratization of the paternal instance of Kafka’s poetics as a neutralization of the narrative voice and takes this, with psychoanalysis, as a manifestation of the silent voice of the superego (Lacan and Zizek). It discusses the differences between a version of the father whose Law joins the desire, and another, capricious and unreasonable, which serves jouissance. It ends questioning the function of literature to the Czech writer
