摘要

This essay explores a theory of the violence inherent in the act of reading. It draws a distinction between two types of reading bodies: on the one hand, those that perform the act of reading, and, on the other, »read« bodies, i.e., those that are produced by this act and, in this sense, are »read into being«. Reading thus becomes a process of differentiation between bodies that is marked by a painful bearing-out. While the reading body is empirically situated and embedded within a network of referential relations, the »read« body signifies the violent rupture of these relations, thereby ontologically destabilizing the scene of reading. The essay examines this production of »read« bodies through the example of Kafka’s work.
