Il fattore K. Legge, vita, corpo nell'opera di Franz Kafka

This paper deals with the classical issues of Power, Law and Nomos, goes through them by the side of “life” and sets them into the legal globalization process. The biopolitical dimension and the crisis of traditional nomos will be considered as privileged points of view as they are the causes and the effects of the Law “being in force without significance” (Geltung ohne Bedeutung). The most important “figures” highlighted by the scientific literature on this subject can be reviewed through Franz Kafka; Kafka’s work represents a major reference point for scientific literature as long as it raises these hard and unavoidable questions.
