In the discursive framework of any historical moment, if the traffic of ideas is stabilized, meaning runs the risk of becoming a guideline that makes it impossible for other perspectives to emerge. Numerous studies praise the work of Franz Kafka (1883-1924) as one of those that best delves into the nightmares and contradictions that diagram our social conscience. However, there are elements of his literature that, due to value restrictions of the time, have remained unstudied or have been worked on without the deserved attention. The figure of the bachelor, in contradiction with the reproductive chain of bourgeois values in Prague at the beginning of the 20th century, was relegated to a mere biographical circumstance. To this day, the bachelor remains neglected and is based on exclusively biographical perspectives that subordinate bachelorhood to the author's hemoptysis or his complicated paternal bond. Our work aims to reconstruct the importance of the bachelor beyond Kafka's intimate circumstance, or rather it aims to resituate the artistic fact of language as a practice capable of excavating and transforming the vital trajectory of the one who exercises it. Ya sea que hablemos de autores consagrados o marginales, muchas veces, la percepción venidera de una obra literaria queda supeditada a las circunstancias ideológicas de su producción. En el entramado discursivo de cualquier momento histórico, si el tráfico de ideas se estabiliza, el sentido corre peligro de transformarse en una directriz que imposibilita que emerjan otras perspectivas de abordaje. Numerosos estudios encumbran la obra de Franz Kafka (1883-1924) como una de las que mejor se adentra en las pesadillas y contradicciones que diagraman nuestra conciencia social. Sin embargo, hay elementos de su literatura que debido a restricciones valorativas de época quedaron sin estudiarse o se trabajaron sin la atención merecida. La figura del soltero, al entrar en contradicción con la cadena reproductiva de valores burgueses en la Praga de principios del siglo XX, se retrotrajo a mera circunstancia biográfica. Al día de hoy, la desatención permanece sobre el soltero y se fundamenta en las perspectivas exclusivamente biográficas que supeditan la soltería a la hemoptisis del autor o a su complicado vínculo paterno. Nuestro trabajo busca reconstruir la importancia del soltero, más allá de la circunstancia íntima de Kafka o, mejor dicho, busca resituar al hecho artístico del lenguaje como una práctica capaz de excavar y transformar la trayectoria vital de aquel que lo ejerce.
