TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Deviation - Kafka's idea of literary suicide JO - Zeitschrift fur Deutsche Philologie A1 - Mein, G. SP - 266 EP - 286 VL - 122 IS - 2 N2 - The variable connections offered to the interpreter by Kafka's texts can be seen as points in a topological network which, without beginning or end, always point to the next nodal point. This constant distraction allows a space to develop which, free of teleological fixed points, produces a state of suspension. It can be shown that Kafka understands writing as this space and reproduces the state of suspension in his figures. Behind this model is an idea of authorhood which creates a form of subjectivity in a text only to destroy it through the resulting changes in interpretation.
