Kafka's Ethics of Interpretation refutes the oft-repeated claim, made by Kafka's greatest interpreters, including Walter Benjamin and Harold Bloom, that Kafka sought to evade interpretation of his writings. Jennifer L. Geddes shows that this claim about Kafka's deliberate uninterpretability is not only wrong, it also misconstrues a central concern of his work. Kafka was not trying to avoid or prevent interpretation; rather, his works are centrally concerned with it. Geddes explores the interpretation that takes place within, and in response to, Kafka's writings, and pairs Kafka's works with readings of Sigmund Freud, Pierre Bourdieu, Tzvetan Todorov, Emmanuel Levinas, and others. She argues that Kafka explores interpretation as a mode of power and violence, but also as a mode of engagement with the world and others. Kafka, she argues, challenges us to rethink the ways we read texts, engage others, and navigate the world through our interpretations of them.

Kafka's Other Prague: Writings from the Czechoslovak Republic examines Kafka's late writings from the perspective of the author's changing relationship with Czech language, culture, and literature-the least understood facet of his meticulously researched life and work.Franz Kafka was born in Prague, a bilingual city in the Habsburg Empire. He died a citizen of Czechoslovakia. Yet Kafka was not Czech in any way he himself would have understood. He could speak Czech, but, like many Prague Jews, he was raised and educated and wrote in German. Kafka critics to date have had little to say about the majority language of his native city or its "minor literature," as he referred to it in a 1913 journal entry.Kafka's Other Prague explains why Kafka's later experience of Czech language and culture matters.Bringing to light newly available archival material, Anne Jamison's innovative study demonstrates how Czechoslovakia's founding and Kafka's own dramatic political, professional, and personal upheavals altered his relationship to this "other Prague." It destabilized Kafka's understanding of nationality, language, gender, and sex-and how all these issues related to his own writing.Kafka's Other Prague juxtaposes Kafka's German-language work with Czechoslovak Prague's language politics, intellectual currents, and print culture-including the influence of his lover and translator, the journalist Milena Jesenská-and shows how this changed cultural and linguistic landscape transformed one of the great literary minds of the last century.

Le Journal de Kafka, tenu durant les quatorze dernières années de sa vie, de 1909 à 1923, est une œuvre d'une importance majeure. Mémorial d'une existence singulière, il évoque les expériences fondatrices de l'auteur : sa fascination pour des écrivains tels Goethe, Kleist, Dickens, Strindberg, Dostoïevski ou Werfel, sa découverte du théâtre yiddish et ses retrouvailles avec un judaïsme refoulé, sa rencontre épistolaire avec Felice puis Milena, ses errances dans une Prague adorée autant qu'haïe, ses affres d'écrivain et ses interrogations métaphysiques, son mal-être corporel, sa maladie. Mais le Journal est aussi un manifeste poétique et un atelier d'écriture. Kafka, jour après jour, y élabore les thèmes et les figures majeures de son œuvre et, dans les multiples ébauches de récits et de romans, travaille son écriture, parvenant à ce style dont la pureté et la densité suscitent une expressivité maximale et une interprétabilité infime. Dix ans après sa publication intégrale chez Fischer, il était temps de rendre hommage à ce laboratoire d'écriture si précieux pour la compréhension de l'homme et de l'œuvre. La critique génétique, attentive aux brouillons, ébauches et fragments qui témoignent de la genèse du texte de Kafka, permet en effet de voir dans le Journal un véritable work in progress où s'élabore une œuvre certes fragmentaire et inachevée, mais d'une qualité littéraire, d'une richesse thématique et d'une profondeur philosophique exceptionnelles.

"Die Studie geht von der Beobachtung aus, dass Franz Kafka als biographisch Daheimgebliebener seine Geburtsstadt Prag erst gegen Ende seines Lebens verliess, seine Texte jedoch seit jeher den literarischen Aufbruch in die Fremde verhandeln. In dieser Hinsicht untersucht sie den "Schloss"--Roman als 'Contact Zone', als von asymmetrischen Machtverhältnissen seiner Partizipanten geprägten Raum inter- bzw. transkultureller Konfrontation"--Publisher's website, Feb. 11, 2013.

Kafka and Noise applies concepts from film theory and sound studies to explore noises in Kafka's writings--from Gregor Samsa's squeaking and Josefine the mouse singer's whistling to the terror of spoken Yiddish and the thrill of literary recitation.
