Resumen de Escribir la existencia. La subjetividad del escritor a través de Kierkegaard y Kafka
Kafka's readings of Kierkegaard's works offer a reflexion about the subjectivity of the writer. The biographical similarities between these authors, especially in their relationships with their fiancés, brought Kafka to read and evaluate carefully Either/Or, Fear and Trembling and Repetition, the works in which Kierkegaard shows the difference between the ethical sphere of existence and the religious one. Kafka shows in his personal writings the way in which he applies the characteristics of religious sphere in the writer's figure: The God who is the centre of Kierkegaard's religious existence is replaced by Kafka for literature, but as if literature was the absolute legitimation of existence that God is. The writer's existence is a religious existence with no God, but with literature in his place. This transposition of spheres allows us to conceive the modern writer as an isolated and melancholic individual who, however, tries to explore the ways of enriching the world with new possibilities of experience.
