| description | This paper is an attempt to sketch out a reading of Kafka’s work based on the idea that thephysiognomic principle is the pillar of his grotesque poetics. According to this principle, Kafka’s literarywork is not to be interpreted (i.e. there is no meaning beyond it to look for) but it is instead to be read asan experimental machine that immanently produces its own sense. This anti-transcendent reading, whichmakes use of some fundamental philosophical accounts (such as Deleuze and Guattari’s, Wittgenstein’sand Adorno’s), is developed in particular in two directions: on the one side the abolition of the subjectand on the other side the creation of an anti-perspective and anti-metaphorical literature. |
