Échapper au territoire de l'homme
Kafka/Kulik : une (en)quête animale
DOI : 10.54563/revue-k.206
Résumé
The quests pursued by Kafka's narrators are true investigations in which they engage with their whole body. In "Investigations of a Dog" or "The Burrow", we follow, from the inside, mutations as much behavioural as psychological and reflexive, generated by the relation to a fantasized otherness. In the same movement, Kafka also seems to describe, from the outside, a humanity whose moral foundations are shaking and whose specificity is becoming more and more uncertain. Precisely, provoking this disorder is also the aim of the Russian artist Oleg Kulik, who, by adopting the point of view of a dog offers the image of a strange and yet familiar bestiality to an unsettled public.
