The Rustle of the Anthropocene
This article interrogates the uses and abuses of Franz Kafka's enigmatic figure Odradek as an illustration for three recent approaches in the environmental humanities: Timothy Morton's notion of the hyperobject, Jane Bennett's vital materialism, and J.

Reading the work as a trauma narrative, the article explores Simplicius's relation to writing in an era when the phenomenon of print is still a novelty—ultimately revealing text…
