ABSTRACT

In the Letter of Humanism, Heidegger reinterprets the Greek notion of ethos as designating the way in which human beings dwell in the world through a “unifying” language. Through various down strokes in the autobiographical and psychopathological literature on schizophrenia as well as in literary texts and literary criticism, this paper, experimental in its effort, argues that the language productions of schizophrenia and poetry, each in its own way, seem to fall outside this unification of a language in common. Furthermore, it argues that this “falling outside” is related to radical experiences of “alienation” and “otherness,” which call for an alteration of conventional language. However, whereas poetry appears to open new linguistic possibilities, schizophrenia runs the risk of reducing language to the silence of incomprehensible “nonsense.” The paper ends with the suggestion that a poetic employment of language may hold a double potential with regard to the understanding and possible treatment of schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

摘要

在人文主义的信函中，海德格尔重新诠释了希腊的精神观念。作为通过“统一”语言指定人类在世界上居住的方式。通过在关于精神分裂症的自传和精神病理学文献以及文学文本和文学批评中的各种向下笔触，本文在其努力中进行实验，认为精神分裂症和诗歌的语言生产，每一种都以自己的方式，似乎不属于这种共同语言的统一。此外，它认为这种“落入外部”与“异化”和“他者”的激进体验有关，这需要改变传统语言。然而，尽管诗歌似乎开启了新的语言可能性，但精神分裂症却冒着将语言还原为难以理解的“胡说八道”的沉默的风险。
