Ordeal By Trial: Judicial References To The Nightmare World Of Franz Kafka, Parker B. Potter Jr.
Ordeal By Trial: Judicial References To The Nightmare World Of Franz Kafka, Parker B. Potter Jr.
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] "Franz Kafka’s novel The Trial is firmly entrenched in the modern consciousness as an exemplar of judicial indifference to the most basic rights of citizens to understand the nature of criminal proceedings directed against them.

Information portals, such as libraries and web logs, are "gendered" in ways that may not be facially apparent. Women are creating and experiencing social solidarity online in ways that male scholars and commentators do not seem to either recognize or deem …
