Reading Kafka Visually: Gothic Ornament and the Motion of Writing in Kafka's Der Process
Original language description
Through close examination of the chapter 'Im Dom' in Kafka's novel Der Prozess, this articles explores how a particular visual mode can shape the writing of a text. The mode analysed here inheres in the setting of Kafka's chapter: the architecture of theGothic cathedral, which the art historian Wilhelm Worringer, a contemporary of Kafka's, saw embodied in the figure of ornament. This encounter between literary language and Gothic space as two phenomena mutually engendering each other opens a perspective onto the 'motion of writing' within the text, and onto its visuality and resonance with space. A dynamic and complex current; a chaotic tangle of lines; expression prevailing over meaning; an absent centre; vertigo and pathos-these are the principles shared by Worringer's Gothic and Kafka's writing.
