This course is conducted in English.

This seminar is an introduction to the short stories, novel fragments, 
 letters and diaries of Franz Kafka, with special emphasis on the 
works of his "breakthrough" period. Through small-group discussion 
and frequent analytic writing assignments, we will also explore the 
major critical interpretations of Kafka's work since his death in 
1924 and consider both Kafka's literary context (Austro-German high 
modernism, fin-de-siecle decadence, Expressionism) and the unique 
political and social environments of Prague and Berlin during his 
lifetime (Czech, German and Jewish nationalism, socialism and 
anarchism, sexualities and the modern city, mass-culture).
