Dieser Band enthält die Vorträge, die auf einer internationalen Konferenz in Israel abgehalten wurden und dem Thema Franz Kafka

Kafkas Interesse an hebräischem, jiddischem und jüdischem Nationalismus sowie seine verschiedenen Beziehungen zu seinen zionistischen Freunden und seine Beteiligung an jüdisch-nationalen und zionismusnahen Aktivitäten werden aus unterschiedlichen kritischen Blickwinkel erforscht. Ebenso werden seine Schriften in dem spezifischen Rahmen des jüdischen Nationalismus und Zionismus betrachtet.
