Kafka: a metamorfose para os direitos humanos

The article focuses on the Law and Literature. More precisely, it aims to glimpse the possibility of an intersection between the cognitive fields of law and literature, in order to understand human dignity in light of the artistic and literary work The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Thus, first, the text centered on the possibility of dialogue between the dimensions of the law of the literature. Like any great work of art, the book analyzed contains in its bosom a seed burst and proposing creative movement. Allows its readers an opening of the new consciousness, a glimpse of different worlds, thinking sociocultural transformations of spaces. Thus, the second time, from the idea that great works of art provide a concrete analysis of society and immanent, the text focused on the investigation of literary plot. Finally, from the story told by Kafka and criticism of society's values in the text, especially the cancellation of the subject--turned into an animal--came to the possibility of considering a change, aiming to human dignity in the contemporary world marked by totalitarianism.
