Ser escrito a escrever-se na vida: protagonismo do corpo em conexões entre Nietzsche e Kafka

Abstract

The present dissertation broaches considerations and experiments on the Friedrich Nietzsche s philosophy and Franz Kafka s literature. It aims to revalue the body as the protagonist of the existence, specifically the reframing of physiological aspect so denigrated and underestimated by the metaphysical tradition. This work begins from the experimentation of different texts for the studied authors and commentators, trying to follow the act of writing as an expression of life and a way of expressing imagetically overcoming human condition. Through the vitality that writing can show (about the author/for the reader), this dissertation strives to walk the paths trodden by decadence, apathy, suffering, resentment and the memory formation in the body subjected to the excesses of the reason to finally present an alternative to any diminution towards life. Such an alternative, the metamorphosis, is the project of overcoming the habitual structures of man, which highlights the insurgency Nietzschean overman (Übermensch), and confirms the role of the body and the man in front of his own existence.
