Puzzles of the Body

The Labyrinth in Kafka's 'Prozeß', Hesse's 'Steppenwolf', and Mann's 'Zauberberg'.

This study interprets the motif of the labyrinth as a signifier of the cultural crisis of the early 20th century and links the thematic configurations relating to the figures' process of self-realization to the thinking of Nietzsche and Heidegger who, either explicitly or implicitly, rethink the significance of corporeality for philosophy.
