ANALYSIS OF THE EMERGENCE OF MODERNIST CONCEPTS IN LITERATURE AND THE MODERNIST VIEWS OF FRANZ KAFKA

Abstract

Between the 19th and 20th centuries, a peculiar turn took place in European and American literature, that is, a great change in the writers' understanding of the picture of the World in relation to reality. Modernism - the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, was manifested by the complete destruction of the traditions of realism, and as a result of it, other trends gradually began to appear. Modernism first appeared in poetry. Enormous schools of modernist ideas sprang up, their birthplace was France. The trends such as symbolism, impressionism, surrealism, futurism, Dadaism, expressionism embraced the general tendencies of modernism. The article discusses the detailed analysis of the history and classification of the emergence of modernist concepts in literature.
The article analyzes the worldview of Kafka as a relatively cruel, insensitive, bureaucratic tyrant, his constant negative attitude, fear, and endless remorse and nostalgia. Kafka was completely uninterested in social conflicts, revolutions, and wars and therefore he bypassed the socio-philosophical theories that arose during his period. Nevertheless, the writer's work found its logical basis in that tragic period, the beginning of the era of dreamers.
