Kafka Et Les Anarchistes. by Costas Despiniadis

This study explores the connections between Kafka’s life and fiction and anarchist thought, arguing that his works reflect and refract the era’s anti‑authoritarian currents. Through close readings of key texts alongside historical and biographical context, it examines how themes of bureaucracy, law, power, resistance, and individual autonomy intersect with anarchist critiques, showing Kafka’s ambivalent stance toward social revolution and his literary treatment of political exclusion, moral responsibility, and the limits of collective action.
