Our 9th grade students took part in an engaging discussion titled “Metamorphosis: Humanity, Alienation, and the Modern World” with Tanıl Bora, the translator of Metamorphosis. During the session, students revisited and deepened their understanding of key concepts explored in class, including alienation, modernity, capitalism, and transformation. Drawing on the text, the discussion allowed students to uncover layers of meaning that resonate with the present day. Fueled by their curiosity and enthusiasm, the session evolved into a dynamic, thought-provoking, and highly engaging exchange of ideas.
