Abstract:
Discusses the image of Alfred Dreyfus as presented in the French antisemitic press and caricatures, and its impact on the circulation of stereotypes concerning the "Jewish body" as a physical expression of "the Jewish traitor". Remarks that Dreyfus’s image haunted Kafka’s imagination, and argues that it remained in his unconscious as a model for the body of the Jew, showing traces in his "The Metamorphosis" and "In the Penal Colony".
