Kafka

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).
