Abstract:

This article, presents a deconstructivist reading of Arthur Schnitzler's short story Ich (I). Using Jacques Derrida's conceptions about writing, violence and the trace as (non- )origin, I argue that Schnitzler turns the relationship of dominance between the spoken and the written word upside down, since the reflections on language formulated by the main character Mr. Huber are triggered after seeing the written word "Park" on a plate attached to a tree. In this way, Schnitzler's story Ich legitimizes the written word as a potential, yet misleading origin point for language itself, while Huber undergoes the task of a "second Adam" by writing down names of things—thus submitting them to the logic of writing, not to the logic of speech (verbal naming) followed by the biblical Adam.

摘要：

这篇文章展示了对 Arthur Schnitzler 的短篇小说Ich (I)的解构主义解读。使用雅克德里达关于写作、暴力和痕迹作为（非）起源的概念，我认为施尼茨勒将口语和书面语之间的支配关系颠倒了，因为主人公胡贝尔先生对语言的反思在看到附在树上的盘子上的“公园”字样后触发。通过这种方式，施尼茨勒的故事Ich将书面文字合法化为语言本身的潜在但具有误导性的起源点，而胡贝尔则通过写下事物的名称来承担“第二个亚当”的任务——从而使它们服从于写作的逻辑，
