In 2016, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that Max Brod’s
posthumous papers which included a collection of Kafka’s
manuscripts be transferred to the National Library of Israel in
Jerusalem. If Kafka’s writings may be seen to belong to Jewish
national culture and if they may be considered part of Israel’s
heritage, then their analysis within a Jewish framework should be
both viable and valuable. This volume is dedicated to the research
of Franz Kafka’s late narrative “The Burrow” and its
autobiographical and theological significance. Research is extended
to incorporate many fields of study (architecture, sound studies,
philosophy, cultural studies, Jewish studies, literary studies) to
illustrate the dynamics at work within the text which reveal the
Jewish aspects implicitly thematicized. Examination of the
structure created, the nature of sound perceived, the atmosphere
experienced and the acts performed by the protagonist serve as the
foundation of this analysis and offer new access to Kafka’s work
by presenting an interpretive, space-semantic approach. “Der
Bau” is presented as a life concept given the task of
constituting identity, highlighting the critical link between the
literary and biographical Kafka and demonstrating the necessity of
understanding the author as a Jewish writer to understand his late
narrative. For her outstanding research project, Andrea Newsom
Ebarb was awarded the “Forschungsförderpreis der Vereinigung der
Freunde der Universität Mainz e.V.” in 2023.
