- This monograph of 121 pages develops a new approach to literary studies (‘literary plasticity’) via a reading of the work of Franz Kafka. In order to do so, it combines research in Anglophone, Francophone, and Germanophone Kafka Studies with a reappraisal of the ‘Kurzprosa’ (short prose) genre, and a survey of the history in Western literary, aesthetic, philosophical, and scientific thought of plastic and plasticity as both material phenomenon and critical term.
