In Brazilian Portuguese literary traditions, 'condição metamorfoseada' is frequently employed in modernist and contemporary literature to describe psychological or social transformations. In English-speaking contexts, particularly in the United States, this phrase is more commonly used in scientific, psychological, and philosophical discussions. The concept carries Kafkaesque undertones in Western literature, often implying both wonder and unease at profound change.
