Kafka e a busca de sustentação: um corpo a se escrever

Abstract

This thesis intends, through the lens of psychoanalysis, from the works of authors who approach the body in literature and also from countless writings left by Kafka, to explore the corporal dimension which, in its precariousness and ever-present threat of failure, promotes in Kafka a constant and diverse seeking for consistency and security, which is also a search for a writing that eventually establishes not only a style but the seemingly unreal, paradoxical, fragmented, and infinite reality that has been named "kafkian".
