《地洞》——自我与他者的迷宫

The Burrow——Maze of Self and the Other

卡夫卡在《地洞》中描写了小动物因内在理性的不断思考与外在地洞的无从把握而时刻焦虑着,展示了自我的迷失与他者的注视这一矛盾交织的生命体验。小动物所处的主体性丧失与外物强力的生存迷宫这一生存困境颇似现代人受技术控制丧失主体性、心无所依的悖谬现实,两者有着同质的精神焦虑。因此现代人欲走出当下技术统治的异化现实,就必须厘清临界者的存在,认识到自我与他者存在的互为统摄性。

In The Burrow, Kafka describes a small animal that always feels upset because of its consistently intrinsic thinking and the lost controlling of the outside of the burrow. Through it he wants to show the life experience intertwining between the lost of oneself and the contemplation from others. This kind of survival predicament is just like the absurd reality that modern people lost their subjectivity under the control of technology and feel living in a vacuum. In order to get rid of the technocratic alienation, modern people should clarify the existence of critical person and realize the integration of self and others.
