Kafka. Macht – Sprache – Ausgrenzung

In “The Metamorphosis”, Kafka illustrates the aporias of modernity in which the Samsa family is entangled. In the family world and in the world of work, as in other subsystems, a deeply hidden law prevails. It hides its own history, behaves like a god and enslaves everything that resists it. What does not obey and function learns to know and feel the mechanisms of its power. Those who seek a free existence and a self-determined life beyond the machine of modernity become involved in a game of disciplining and alienation, distortion and death.
