| 520 | 3 | |a The kinship between Pinter and Kafka is patently obvious and has been pointed out by numerous critics, the dreamlike quality of the texts of these two masters of menace and mystery being one of the aspects of their work on which there is a critical consensus. Therefore Freud's trail-blazing early work The Interpretation of Dreams (1900) provides tools for shedding light on some of the obscurities of the two writers. This essay picks out Pinter's first play The Room (1957) and Kafka's short story "Auf der Galerie” (1917) to demonstrate that the basic dream mechanisms of displacement and condensation are the creative principles underlying these two surrealist texts. The Lacanian angle of these two concepts is taken into account, but the reading stops short of Lacan's radical conclusions about the ‘free-floating signifier' and ‘impassable primordial difference.' The other extreme avoided here is the neat Freudian pigeon-holing indulged in by some early psychoanalytical critics. Freudian concepts do contribute to an understanding of this kind of text, but there is always a residue of ambiguity | |
