Erros Schulza
Journal Title: Schulz/Forum - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Usually, Schulz’s masochism has been considered as an obvious component of his life and work. Such a diagnosis, triggering a series of conventional associations, ignores whatever the writer might have actually experienced in connection with sex, and concentrates on the deficit of masculinity defined in a conservative way, which transforms potential transgression into its opposite – an algorithm. Moreover, it identifies complex etiology of masochism with docility in contacts with women. But what if Schulz was just playing a game of masochism or even more: what if he used it as a disguise to conceal a much more serious disorder of which he was not fully aware?
