The typewriter in the corpus delicti.
Abstract
This piece of work investigates on the subjective genesis of the world view implied in Kafka’s work, specially regarding the feeling of guilt in the relation with his father. The author studies this idea in “Letter to his father” and compares it with other texts of Kafka (“Facing the law”, “Metamorphosis”, “Penitentiary colony”) and analyzes the body as a symbolic place for the inscription and writing of the guilt.
