A new interpretation of the 1912 discourse on the Yiddish language, which situates this early work within a broader critical and cultural framework that runs through Kafka’s oeuvre. The focus is not on the specifically Jewish aspects of the discourse, but on the dimension of fear as a primal and persistent condition of civilisation, and on Yiddish as the language that, more than any other, brings this underlying layer to the surface.

Abstract

A new interpretation of the 1912 discourse on the Yiddish language, which situates this early work within a broader critical and cultural framework that runs through Kafka’s oeuvre. The focus is not on the specifically Jewish aspects of the discourse, but on the dimension of fear as a primal and persistent condition of civilisation, and on Yiddish as the language that, more than any other, brings this underlying layer to the surface.
