From The Podcast

Oxford Kafka24

A series of lectures and talks from across the University celebrating the literary works and enduring global legacy of Franz Kafka. 100 years after the death of Franz Kafka (1883-1924), the University of Oxford celebrated the life and work of one of the most influential writers of all time.Since the posthumous publication of his work and ‘rediscovery’ in the middle of the twentieth century, Kafka became a truly global writer who embraced his own multicultural identity. His novels and short stories were translated into multiple languages. His body of work offered profound insights into the human condition, alienation, relationships, and transformation. Oxford is the natural home for a centenary celebration of Franz Kafka: the Bodleian Libraries has the world’s laest Kafka archive; and the University is a leading centre for Kafka studies led by the Oxford Kafka Research Centre. For more approaches to Kafka and 'The Metamorphosis', the ‘Conversations on Kafka’ interviews (https://podcasts.ox.ac.uk/series/conversations-kafka) explore race, comedy, dance, ecology, and much more with world experts on the author from different contexts and traditions.
