SAMSA’S ALIENATION 2
Samsa’s Alienation in Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis
One would normally think of the home and family as a sanctuary; however, the opposite
is true for Gregor Samsa in Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. Instead of receiving love from
his parents and sister, Gregor is outcast. His transformation into a vermin is a physical
manifestation of his already alienated state and demonstrates how the family viewed him as a
commodity instead of a son or brother that they loved. By analyzing Gregor’s room, his
relationships with others, and his own internal dialogue, one can see that Gregor, in fact, did not
transform at all.
Various aspects of the room in which Gregor lives illustrate that his life is not that of a
human engaging with the world. His room is described a “proper human room” (Kafka 1915).
The addition of the qualifier “human” is an example of verbal irony; Gregor has already
morphed into a creature at this point. The room is also “small” and mention is made of the “four
walls” (Kafka, 1915). Though many rooms are small and have four walls, the highlighted of this
fact by the narrator evokes a sense of enclosure or imprisonment.
The furnishings of the room (or lack thereof) support Gregor’s disengagement with
human connection. Nothing is related of photos of family or friends, and the room seems empty,
save for his bed and a few other items. We read that “textile samples lay spread out on the
table” (Kafka, 1915), thus informing us that Gregor, who works as a salesman, takes his work
home with him. The only picture Gregor does have in his room is one of a woman that he cut
out and framed (Kafka, 1915), thus suggesting he finds more interest in the image of a stranger
than with that of any person in his life. Save for some furniture, a table covered with work, and
an image of a stranger on the wall, Gregor’s room is empty and resembles a prison cell more
than it does that of a human being connected with the world.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

6. Who can offer a
summary of chapter
one of The
Metamorphosis?
7. Summary Chapter One
Gregor Samson goes to bed one night
and wakes up, late for work, as a
cockroach. We learn that Gregor is a
traveling salesman. He hates his job but
feels obligated to perform it because of
his parents. They are indebted to his
boss, and because of their advanced age
it is left to Gregor to fulfill their debt.
He spends day after day at this work,
consumed yet unfulfilled. He has not
missed a day of work in five years.
8. Franz Kafka is one of the founders of modern literature.
His claim to greatness includes his service in completely collapsing
the aesthetic distance that had traditionally separated the writer from
the reader. In what is probably his most famous work of fiction, Die
Verwandlung (1915; translated as "Metamorphosis," 1936-1938), the
protagonist, Gregor Samsa, is presented to the reader as a man who
has become an insect; Gregor's condition is never suggested to be an
illusion or dream (although many critics have commented on its
dreamlike qualities). In his shock at the result of Kafka's unmediated
aesthetic distance, the reader is led to forgo his usual reflective and
explicative function. Kafka has his characters perform that explicative
function--hectically, repeatedly, self-contradictorily, and with a new
kind of irony that has come to characterize modern literature. Finally,
in an age that celebrates the mass, Kafka redirects the focus to the
individual. His characters stand for themselves as individuals; in the
case of the male protagonists--and almost all of his protagonists are
male--they stand for Kafka himself.
9. Historical Context
For most of Kafka's lifetime, his home town of Prague was a Czech
city within a German-speaking empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Only at the end of World War I did that Empire disappear, leading to
the creation of an independent Czechoslovakia. But in 1912, when
Kafka was writing The Metamorphosis, the Czechs had not yet won
their independence, and despite its Czech majority, Prague was
dominated by a German-speaking elite. Recognizing where the power
lay in the city, the Jews of Prague tended to identify with the German
minority rather than with the Czech majority; the Czechs therefore
considered the Jews to be part of the German community, but the
Germans themselves did not. As a result, it was easy for the Jews to
feel that they did not fit in anywhere.
In general, Prague was a city of ethnic tensions, primarily between
Czechs and Germans and between Czechs and Jews. In 1897, when
Kafka was fourteen, the tensions erupted into anti-Semitic riots started
by the Czechs. Thus Kafka would have grown up knowing hatred and
hostility as well as the difficulty of fitting in.
11. Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and,
more importantly, can we trust her or him?
Third Person/Limited Omniscient
The story is mainly told through the perspective of Gregor
Samsa, as if the narrator were planted with Gregor's human
consciousness inside Gregor's insect body. We discover
aspects of Gregor's body as he himself discovers them. If he
itches, we don't know why until he looks to see what's making
him itch. If he's hungry, we don't know what he likes to eat until
he discovers his preference for rotten foods.
12. Technique
This novella is an extended literalization of the implications
of the metaphor used in its initial sentence. Gregor is
metamorphosed into an insectlike species of vermin, with
Kafka careful not to identify the precise nature of Gregor’s
bughood. German usage applies Kafka’s term, Ungeziefer,
to contemptible, spineless, parasitic persons, akin to English
connotations of the work “cockroach.” Gregor’s passivity and
abjectness before authority link him with these meanings, as
Kafka develops the fable by transforming the metaphor back
into the imaginative reality of his fiction. After all, Gregor’s
metamorphosis constitutes a revelation of the truth
regarding his low self-esteem. It is a self-judgment by his
repressed and continually defeated humanity.
