Haunted Identity. Melancholie und Dissoziation als Strategien der Dekonstruktion des Ich in Helmut Kraussers «Schmerznovelle»: [Haunted Identity. Melancholy and Dissociation as Strategies for Deconstructing the Self in Helmut Krausser’s «Schmerznovelle»]
Full text linkKrausser’s texts play repeatedly with the radical disintegration of identity. In «Schmerznovelle» (2001) he describes the encounter between Johanna Palm, who suffers from a split personality, and the narrator, a psychiatrist with the obsessive wish to cure her. As a result of this process, their ideas of self-identity increasingly dissipate. This article investigates the disintegration of the self against the backdrop of the psychological concepts of melancholia and dissociation. The productive conjunction that allows Krausser to question the idea of stable identity altogether is analysed with the help of the theories of Freud, Žižek and Agamben

“Trotzdem! Ein gutes Land” (?). Marianne Fritz’ «Dessen Sprache du nicht verstehst» als radikalste Liquidation des habsburgischen Mythos am Leitfaden seiner Sprechakte: [“Nevertheless! A Good Land” (?). Marianne Fritz’s «Whose Language You Do Not Understand» as a Radical Liquidation of the Habsburg Myth on the Basis of Its Speech Acts]
Full text linkThis paper explores how Marianne Fritz’s novel Dessen Sprache du nicht verstehst incorporates its sources. On the one hand it traces the many contexts of the novel’s title, which cites Deuteronomy, the fifth Book of Moses. At the same time it interrogates the usage of a quote by Franz Grillparzer, «Es ist ein gutes Land» («It is a good land»), and how it communicates with other quotes within the novel. Thereby the essay develops a unique way of reading the novel, which many still judge to be unreadable
«Pfleget den Fremdenverkehr!» Karl Kraus e la propaganda d’incentivo al turismo: [«Foster Tourism!» Karl Kraus and the Propaganda to Promote Tourism]
Full text linkThis study explores Karl Kraus’ case against ministerial incentives to promote tourism. Kraus covers the overlap between tourism and war propaganda, treating an apparently insignificant cultural phenomenon as a symptom of collective spiritual decay. As Kraus sees it, the governmental push to cultivate tourism serves as a diversion for Austrians amid the economic uncertainty brought on by the Great War. This essay examines instances of the theme in the Buchausgabe (1926) of the drama Die Letzten Tage der Menschheit, together with a selection of articles and glosses from Die Fackel (1899-1936)
