Absurdnost v delih Franza Kafke in Dominika Smoleta : elementi camusovske absurdnosti v romanih Amerika, Proces, Grad ter Črni dnevi in beli dan

Štesl, Katja (author), Virk, Tomo (mentor)

Diplomsko delo primerja Kafkove romane Amerika, Proces in Grad ter Smoletov roman Črni dnevi in beli dan na podlagi Camusove teorije absurda. Najprej vzpostavlja povezave med omenjenimi avtorji in nato povzame Camusova dognanja iz eseja Mit o Sizifu, iz katerih so izpeljane štiri komponente absurdnosti (želja, iracionalnost, tujstvo, upor), ki so zatem uporabljene kot osnova za analizo del. Primerjava spoznanj pokaže mnoge podobnosti med besedili, a tudi bistveno razliko, ki temelji na možnosti enačenja Kafkovih likov s pojmom absurdnega človeka in nasprotnostjo tega pri Smoletovih osebah.

Abstract

Undergraduate thesis compares Kafka's novels Amerika (The Man Who Disappeared), The Trial and The Castle and Smole's novel Black Days and the White Day. The comparison is based on Camus' theory of absurd. At first, the thesis sets the connections between the mentioned authors and then summarises Camus' knowledge from his essay The Myth of Sisyphus. The base for the texts analysis derives from this essay and consists of four components of absurdity (wish, irrationality, strangeness and revolt). Comparison then shows many similarities between novels, but also a major difference between Kafka and Smole: Kafka's' fictional characters can be unified with the terme "absurd human" and Smole's cannot.
