Abstract
Failure to deal with the issue of collective and social loss increases the risk of extreme nationalism. When taken too far, a repetition of manic defence can arise that manifests itself in the form of war. In this paper, the notion of the "inability to mourn" by the German Psychoanalysts A. and M. Mitshcerlich (1967) is discussed in relation to the problem of Japan's post World War II nationalism, and its silence on social matters. The process of confronting past atrocities committed by the state is then discussed from the perspective of structural theory.
不解决集体和社会损失问题,就会增加极端民族主义的风险。如果走得太远,就会出现以战争形式表现出来的狂躁防御的重复。本文结合二战后日本的民族主义问题及其在社会问题上的沉默,讨论了德国精神分析学家 A. Mitshcerlich 和 M. Mitshcerlich(1967 年)提出的 "无法哀悼 "的概念。然后从结构理论的角度讨论了正视国家过去所犯暴行的过程。
