Early History As France's capital and most populous city, Paris has long been a natural draw for those seeking to escape the traditional conservatism of provincial France. Michael D. Sibalis notes that Paris's reputation as a focus for queer life in France dates back as far as the Middle Ages, citing as evidence among other things a twelfth-century poet's description of the city as reveling in "the vice of Sodom." Medieval Paris was not exactly a queer paradise, however. Throughout the Middle Ages numerous poor Parisians were regularly convicted and, in some instances, executed for engaging in sodomy and other same-sex activities. Things improved somewhat by the early modern period. While their exact correspondence to contemporary categories of glbtq sexuality is open to debate, well-developed sodomitical subcultures had emerged in Paris by the eighteenth century. Some historians, such as Maurice Lever, claim these subcultures formed a "homosexual world .

Deeply lost in the night. Just as one sometimes lowers one’s head to reflect, thus to be utterly lost in the night. All around people are asleep. It’s just play acting, and innocent self-deception, that they sleep in houses, in safe beds, under a safe roof, stretched out or curled up on mattresses, in sheets, under blankets; in reality they have flocked together as they had once upon a time and again later in a deserted region, a camp in the open, a countless number of men, an army, a people, under a cold sky on cold earth, collapsed where once they had stood, forehead pressed on the arm, face to the ground, breathing quietly. And you are watching, are one of the watchmen, you find the next one by brandishing a burning stick from the brushwood pile beside you. Why are you watching? Someone must watch, it is said. Someone must be there.[1] Introduction One of the defining characteristics of the later Heidegger is the concern for art and its place in humanity’s relation to Being.[2] In his Nietzsche lectures, as in his lecture on the origin of the work of art, Heidegger constructs a hermeneutical picture of the world in which art, the artistic lifestyle and the image of the artist play an important role.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • A Critique of the Law: an Intersection Between Law
    A CRITIQUE OF THE LAW: AN INTERSECTION BETWEEN LAW AND LITERATURE by Teresa Finucane Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of English Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas May 4, 2020 Finucane 2 CRITIQUE OF THE LAW: AN INTERSECTION BETWEEN LAW AND LITERATURE Project Approved: Supervising Professor: Anne Frey, Ph.D. Department of English Linda Hughes, Ph.D. Department of English Wesley Cray, Ph.D. Department of Philosophy Finucane 3 ABSTRACT Franz Kafka spent his life writing, using it as a productive outlet to express sentiments on his personal life as well as notions on the functioning government, the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Born in 1883, Kafka lived in the midst of the regime’s power. It was not until during his pursued careers as a banker and law student that Kafka gained knowledge, and thus opinions, on bureaucracy and law. However, it was not until his work was published after his death by a close friend, Max Brod, that the world learned about his insights on the problematic nature of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His writing, once being a disclosed hobby, became a publicly studied work possessing varying literary techniques, such as absurdism. Identified through close reading and an understanding of the philosophy of law, it becomes clear that Kafka’s work critiques positive law, a legal system focused on solely the implementation of the law and favors natural law, a system where morality and law work in tandem. Finucane 4 The power of language and its importance is obvious; in order to have relationships, to learn, to ultimately survive, one must consider the mightiness within the words we speak and the ideas we write.

  • Taboo As a Means of Accessing the Law in Kafka's Works Taylor
    Taboo as a Means of Accessing the Law in Kafka’s Works Taylor Sullivan Professor Flenga Ramapo College of New Jersey In a number of Franz Kafka’s works exists a totemic trend—a trend, which involves sexualized gestures carried out between exclusively male characters. The characters’ gestures attempt to achieve fulfillment; however, all are stopped short. Their indefinite impotence, their inability to arrive, mocks a parallel inability on their part to penetrate the law. The mirrored relationships of Kafka’s male characters with sexual fulfillment and nonphysical penetration culminate in “In The Penal Colony.” This short story confirms that Kafka’s male characters exist permanently as the countryman in “Before the Law”—outside of the door, unaware of and 1 unable to access what lies beyond. ​ Such exclusively homoerotic relationships though ignore women. Kafka’s male characters, through gestures that confirm their gender’s unchanging position, leave the positioning of women to question. What Kafka eventually reveals is that if men remain indefinitely before the law, women exist outside of the law entirely. The guiltless attitudes of his female characters confirm their role as permanent outlaws. The root of Kafka’s totemic trend lies in the relationship between the law and prohibition. 2 In his essay, “Before the Law,” Derrida explains that the law is “a prohibited place.” ​ In this 3 4 way, “to not gain access to the law” ​ is “to obey the law.” ​ Conversely, to gain access to the law ​ ​ 5 would be to transgress the very law to which one is gaining access; “the law is prohibition.” Paradoxically then, what the countryman seeks is as much the law as it is prohibition—synonymous beings that exist beyond the door.

Of particular interest are the ways in which Yiddish literature reflects and responds to the social, cultural, political, and religious aspects of Jewish life as it unfolds in Eastern Europe, as well as in North America. The texts include selections from Chasidism, the Jewish Enlightenment, and Yiddish Modernism, as the course traces the development of a major literary tradition that was obliterated with the destruction of European Jewish civilization in the Holocaust. The purpose of the course is to impart to students an understanding of the Yiddish literary tradition and how that tradition reflects Jewish history, Jewish teachings, and the tensions that shape both. Student Learning Objectives/Outcomes The ultimate aim of the course is to arrive at a deeper understanding of the themes that run throughout Yiddish literature and the Jewish life reflected in that literature, so that student may have an appreciation of this tradition that was obliterated in the Holocaust.
