ねずみ男の屍体凌辱空想とFreud, S. の解釈の方向性に関する一考察

Abstract

This paper explores the fantasy of violating corpses in Rat Man case, which Freud omitted from his case report and psychoanalytical records. We discuss this uncanny fantasy in terms of direction in Freud's interpretation. First, we consider how Freud describes this fantasy in his records, and show that Freud averts his glance from scenes of violating the corpse to the act of "gazing, " and to infant sexuality. Second, we consider Freud's counter-transference to Rat Man, and ascend to Freud's anxious dream in his childhood, memories in his infancy, and his lecture on the cradle of his psychoanalytic theory. We can find corpses (the dead and ghosts) in these materials, and discuss Freud's own resistance to the corpse. Third, we consider Rat Man's main compulsive symptom concerning repayment that can never be done, and correlate it with the feeling of indebtedness to the dead (corpse). In one of his articles, "Leonard da Vinci, " Freud quotes accounts of expenses for burial that Leonard documented when his mother died. These accounts are similar to Rat Man's symptom as a characteristic of compulsive neurosis. Also, we discuss Rat Man's anal erotic ideas about "rats, " and show a lack in those ideas –that is "gift." This lack itself in Freud's interpretation expresses Rat Man's critical trouble. We conclude that Freud's interpretation always goes around death, and focuses on sexuality.
