In The Demon of Writing, Ben Kafka offers a critical history and theory of one of the most ubiquitous, least understood forms of media: paperwork. States rely on records to tax and spend, protect and serve, discipline and punish. But time and again, this paperwork proves to be unreliable. Examining episodes that range from the story of a clerk who lost his job and then his mind in the French Revolution to an account of Roland Barthess brief stint as a university administrator, Kafka reveals the powers, the failures, and even the pleasures of paperwork. Kafka proposes a new theory of what Karl Marx called the bureaucratic medium. Moving from Marx to Freud, he argues that this theory of paperwork must include both a theory of praxis and of parapraxis.
