This work aims to explore the power of the literature of the Jewish-Czech writer Franz Kafka (1883-1924) using as the guiding principle of analysis the conception of the act of creation as an act of resistance. By turning to the impossibilities that define Kafka's relationship with writing, we intend, at first, to analyze how the impossible character of his literary activity relates to the context of minority present in the Deleuze-Guattarian conception. Considering this way of revolution presented by Kafka, we will seek, based on what we conceptualize as “power-of-not”, to demonstrate how Kafka's aporetic narrative meets Benjamin's demand for a construction of history guided by confronting the state of exception . In addition to Benjamin's importance in Kafka's reception, this investigation is interested in demonstrating how his writing can be read as an attempt to render the state and bureaucratic machine inoperative. Based on the contributions of Reiner Stach, Deleuze and Guattari, Walter Benjamin and Giorgio Agamben, and returning to fundamental questions that make up the theories of being and knowledge present in Aristotle and Averroes, we do not aim to solve the mysteries that characterize Kafka's universe, but, through dedication to philosophical activity, being able to “read what has never been written” and thus trying to rescue our belief in change.
