Reading Kafka Visually: Gothic Ornament and the Motion of Writing in Kafka's Der Process

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

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.
