Session 6

Session 6 — Reading Kafka

Date Held: 14 August 2025
The session engaged with three works by Franz Kafka: "On Metaphors", "A Crossbreed", "A Message from the Emperor," " A Hunger Artist", "The Metamorphosis," and "A Little Fable." The readings opened discussions around alienation, transformation, bureaucracy, communication, isolation, and the absurd, while inviting members to consider Kafka's distinctive treatment of the individual's relationship with incomprehensible systems and realities.
