Conceptualising Language in the Literature of the Central European Moderne: Poetics Between the Allegory of the Fall and the Utopia of Salvation.
2010
Abstract
The Study focuses on narrative strategies in the prose works of R. Weiner, B.
Schulz and F. Kafka that concern themselves with the fall of language into the sin of ''representation''.
The figure of the allegory links these autors with Benjamin''s concept of modernity.
