Meer over het boek

Exploring the complex role of paperwork in society, Ben Kafka examines its significance in governance, discipline, and personal identity. Through historical anecdotes, such as a clerk's downfall during the French Revolution and Roland Barthes' experiences in administration, he highlights the inherent unreliability of paperwork. Kafka introduces a novel theory that integrates Marx's bureaucratic medium with Freudian concepts, suggesting that understanding paperwork requires both practical engagement and recognition of its psychological implications.
