Freedom and Confinement in Modernity
Redigert av A. Kordela, D. Vardoulakis, 2011.Del av serien Studies in European Culture and History.
Kafka's Cages
Franz Kafka's literary universe is organized around constellations of imprisonment. Freedom and Confinement in Modernity proposes that imprisonment does not signify a tortured state of the individual in modernity. Rather, it allows Kafka to perform a critique of a modernity that first posits a clear-cut opposition between confinement and freedom, and then sets up freedom as an ideal which, conceived in such absolute terms, is by definition unattainable.
