In as much as accidents are a malfunction, an interruption and even a source of horror, they also offer inexhaustible discursive potential. As an inevitable negative consequence of technological and industrial progress, accidents remind us of the contingent occurrence of disorder: they become an immaterial threat and yet they also fascinate, and create possibilities for narration. 1 In the attempt to grasp, register and regulate them, accidents become cases for insurance and are transformed into data in statistical analysis. The question of guilt and liability is, thereby, replaced in the insurance system by the category of risk. 2 As such, the bureaucratic and legal aspects of accidents became relevant aesthetic and narrative considerations for several modernist authors, including Franz Kafka and Robert Musil. 3 Franz Kafka, in his dual occupation as literary author and professional writer, a so-called concipist(responsible for writing legal documents or signing documents written by his superiors) towards the end of the Habsburg Monarchy, seems to be the ideal candidate to observe all these developments in insurance and accident prevention. In the following first section of this essay, an example from Kafka’s Travel Diariesgives an idea of his own poetics of accidentin the making (Wagner: 2007): Kafka’s 1911 report of a car accident provides us with key insights in the interrelation between the factual and the fictional world. In the second section, the function of reports and files in his 1926 institution-novel The Castleshows the possibilities of literary writing and narration in a milieu, where lifeand institutionintervene in each other (Campe: 2005). 4 Finally, and against this background, I explore how the fundamental psychoanalytic term of desire is shaped in a pursuit for institutional and official recognition, so that a specific kind of official desire – in German Amtsbegehren – emerges (Wolf: 2018). 5

官僚与欲望：弗朗兹·卡夫卡的事故报告

事故不仅是故障，中断甚至是恐怖的根源，而且还提供了无穷无尽的话语潜力。作为技术和工业进步不可避免的负面结果，事故使我们想起了疾病的偶发性发生：它们成为非物质威胁，但同时也令人着迷，并为叙述创造了可能性。1在试图掌握，注册和规范事故时，事故成为保险案件，并转化为统计分析数据。因此，在保险制度中，有罪和责任问题被风险类别所取代。2因此，事故的官僚和法律方面已成为弗朗兹·卡夫卡（Franz Kafka）和罗伯特·穆西尔（Robert Musil）等几位现代主义作家的审美和叙事考虑因素。3弗朗兹·卡夫卡（Franz Kafka）在他作为文学作家和专业作家的双重职业中，到哈布斯堡王朝结束时，一位所谓的有识之士（负责撰写法律文件或由上司签署的签名文件）似乎是观察哈萨克斯坦所有这些发展的理想人选。保险和事故预防。在本文的以下第一部分中，来自卡夫卡的《旅行日记》的一个例子给出了他自己在制造过程中发生事故的诗意的想法（Wagner：2007年）：卡夫卡在1911年的一次车祸报告为我们提供了关于事实与事实之间相互关系的关键见解。虚构的世界。在第二部分中，报告和档案在他1926年的机构小说《城堡》中的功能展示了生活和机构相互干预的环境中文学写作和叙事的可能性（Campe：2005）。4最后，在这种背景下，我探索了在寻求制度和官方认可时如何塑造基本的心理分析性欲望术语，从而出现一种特定的官方欲望，如德国的Amtsbegehren（Wolf：2018）。5
