Document Details : Title: Een bloeiende intertekst Subtitle: Erik Spinoys Boze wolven Author(s): BUNDSCHUH-VAN DUIKEREN, Johanna Journal: Spiegel der Letteren Volume: 49 Issue: 4 Date: 2007 Pages: 441-456 DOI: 10.2143/SDL.49.4.2025303 Abstract : Although the collection of poems Boze wolven by the Flemish writer Erik Spinoy has been the subject of numerous intertextual readings, there is an important source of those poems which has not been identified so far. One poem turns out to be an echo of Franz Kafka’s narration ‘Ein Landarzt’ [A Country Doctor]. A Kafka-based reading of this poem offers a clue to the crucial symbol of the wound in the entire collection. An exhaustive analysis of the significance of the wound, amongst other things inspired by the theories of the French psychoanalyst Lacan, broadens into an overview of the traces of Kafka’s ideas about human existence in Spinoy’s poems. |
