Home ("Heimat") in Prague German literature and in Kafka

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The paper examines the significance of the concept of home ("Heimat") in the horizon of Prague German literature. Contrary to what is expected for the most Jewish authors of the Prague German literature, the term can be find quite often in their texts and even in the texts of Kafka.

The paper then works out that this is essentially a non-nationalist 'German' understanding of home ("Heimat").
