Abstract:

A hundred years after his death, Kafka has transformed from a writer into an image that continues to be addressed by intellectuals, writers, and philosophers. Moreover, the word “Kafkaesque” has entered into common usage, referring not to Kafka himself, or even to his books, but rather to our personal fear of the incomprehensible and absurd. Kafkaesque is unthinkable and delirious situations that occur in reality. As researchers and philosophers, we explore the essence of Kafkaesque by turning to texts, or rather to the Text – to the “Kafkaesque text”. The goal of this article is to analyze Ka

Abstract:

“Kafkaesque” perspective in judicial reasoning means, that law lacks intrinsic content. From this point of view, the conclusion can be drawn that both law and justice are empty in the context of Kafka’s reality. Just because of these essential characters, they exist only due to their internal paradoxes or reification. As a result, something with no real form or content acquires a “phantom objectivity” through its highly formalized and bureaucratic form which are the main features of a “Kafkaesque” situation. Therefore, justice and the law become reduced to their result or verdict, possessing n

Abstract:

We read in a linear fashion, page by page, and we seem also to experience the world around us thus, moment by moment. But research on visual perception shows that perceptual experience is not pictorially representational: it does not consist in a linear, cumulative, totalizing process of building up a stream of internal picture-like representations. Current enactive, or sensorimotor, theories describe vision and imagination as operating through interactive potentiality. Kafka’s texts, which evoke perception as non-pictorial, provide scope for investigating the close links between vision and im

Abstract:

With inefficient bureaucratic institutions, the effects of laws are hard to assess and incompetent politicians may pass laws to build a reputation as skillful reformers. Since too many laws curtail bureaucratic efficiency, this mechanism can generate a steady state with Kafkaesque bureaucracy. Temporary surges in political instability heighten the incentives to overproduce laws and can shift the economy towards the Kafkaesque state. Consistent with the theory, after a surge in political instability in the early 1990s, Italy experienced a significant increase in the amount of poor-quality legis

One of the main authors, whose novels have made a deep impact on the development of Hindi literature, is Franz Kafka. The influence of his works is extremely visible across India.

Abstract: This article discusses Kafkaesque cinema as a response to historical conditions of post-fascism through the close-reading of three films: Chris Marker's La Jetée (1962), Béla Tarr's Werckmeister harmóniák ( Werckmeister Harmonies , 2000), and Christian Petzold's Transit (2018). Important interlocutors are the Hungarian philosopher Gáspár Miklós Tamás and the Italian historian Enzo Traverso; both understand post-fascism as a historical condition that perpetuates fascism's hostility to the Enlightenment, but which, however, permeates even mainstream politics.

This article shows how the United States has mobilized the multilateral institutions to place Iran's nuclear program on the international stage and kept it there.

Prompted by the suggestive designation ‘kafkaesque atmosphere’ given by literary critics to the context of Graciliano Ramos's imprisonment in Memórias do cárcere (1953), this article proposes to compare the paradoxical dimension of Kafka's work and its possible relationship with political and legal situations marked by absurdity or exception with Ramos's novel. To this end, we will first put Kafka's work and that of some philosophers into dialog, in order to relate issues in the Czech's work to Hannah Arendt’s notion of the banality of evil and Giorgio Agamben’s ideas on the state of exception

In the case of the Palestinians, the relevant literary world is that created in many of the novels of Franz Kafka. Kafka's literary world is characterised by unpredictability.

Abstract:

The world remains silent on the existential questions of human life. This existential silence is the defining moment both in the philosophy of Albert Camus and in the literary work of Franz Kafka. Silence manifests itself in the absurd as well as in the Kafkaesque, but those two perspectives differ in their implications with respect to hope. Kafka’s main protagonists in his three big novels are marked by the fluctuation between hope and fear. The uncertainty of their fate contrasts with the relative stability of Camus’s figures within his philosophy of the absurd. In contrast to prior research

Moreover, we argue that both of these attributes are instrumentally enabled by transparency.

First, do AI simulations of Kafka’s writing adequately capture Kafka’s style, and if not, why not? Second, is there perhaps something inherently algorithmic about Kafka’s poetics,

Bureaucracy is deeply implicated in the biopolitical regimes that create and render invisible social waste—individuals classified as abnormal, deviant, or useless—in contemporary societies. According to previous theorists, bureaucracy is able to carry out this critical task through moral distance and reliance on technical efficiency. By specifically focusing on street-level bureaucrats, a unique tier of bureaucracy which is often afforded neither moral distance nor clear directions, this article explains the microprocesses of classification, managing and recycling through which social waste ma
