The purpose of this paper is to delve into the human-animal hybrid nature of Kafka's characters by offering a detailed analysis of some works by the author and focusing on how Kafka, through his narrative technique, dissolves the barriers between the two dimensions. Through the examination of masterpieces such as "Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), "Ein Bericht für eine Akademie" ("A Report to an Academy"), and "Der Bau" ("The Burrow"), it is explored how Kafka used the concept of hybridism to convey deeper meanings about the human condition and beyond. The paper reveals how Kafka’s characters, possessing a dual nature, become vehicles to explore themes such as isolation, ineffective communication, and the search for identity. The thesis aims to unveil the powerful symbolism of hybridisms, exposing a narrative approach that challenges conventions and raises crucial philosophical questions about human nature and about the relationship between human and non-human animals.
Lo scopo del presente elaborato è approfondire la natura ibrida umano-animale dei personaggi di Kafka proponendo una lettura dettagliata di alcune opere dell'autore e rivolgendo l’attenzione su come Kafka, con la sua tecnica narrativa, dissolve le barriere tra le due dimensioni. Attraverso l'analisi di capolavori come "Die Verwandlung", "Ein Bericht für eine Akademie" e "Der Bau", viene esplorato come Kafka abbia utilizzato il concetto di ibridismo per trasmettere significati più profondi sulla condizione umana e non solo. Dall’elaborato emerge come i personaggi kafkiani, i quali possiedono una doppia natura, diventino veicoli per esplorare tematiche come l'isolamento, la comunicazione inefficace e la ricerca di identità. La tesi mira quindi a svelare il potente simbolismo degli ibridismi, rivelando un approccio narrativo che sfida le convenzioni e solleva domande filosofiche cruciali sulla natura umana e sul rapporto tra animali umani e non umani.
