The Sun of Words
The Sun of Words Excerpts from Aber ich lebe nur von den Zwischenräumen, an interview between Herbert Gamper and Peter Handke Wednesday April 9th to Saturday April 12th, 1986 On the morning of April 9th, 1986, it was an unusually warm day with the föhn wind blowing, and I met Peter Handke in front of the house where he was living on the Mönchsberg. He first lead me up to the tower, from where one can see down to the southern parts of Salzburg, over the plains and towards the mountains (the Untersberg and the Staufen). I asked him about the Morzger forest, whose southern extremities were visible, and about the nearby area where Loser, the protagonist of Across, lived. He asked whether these settings interested me, and this was what determined the first question I asked after we had gone down to sit at the small table by the well, in the tree-shadows, and I had taken the final, inevitable step, so that the game could begin, and switched on the tape recorder. We regretted that the singing of the chaffinches and the titmice would not be transcribed to paper; again and again it seemed to me ridiculous to pose a question in the middle of this concert. I told of a visit with Thomas Bernhard, many years ago, when, without my asking, he showed me the offices of the lawyer Moro (from the story Ungenach) in Gmunden, as well as the fallen trees infested with bark beetles at the edge of his land that had been reimagined as the General’s forest from the play Die Jagdgesellschaft. -

Evidence both for and against such usage, however, is usually drawn from textual analyses which attempt to find support for these readings within the plays. Such arguments neglect the performative dimension of these theories. This article demonstrates an alternative approach by considering a case study of a Stanislavskian-inspired production of a Greek tragedy. Taking Katie Mitchell’s 2007 Royal National Theatre production Women of Troy as a paradigmatic example, the article explores the application of a Stanislavskian approach to Euripides’ Troades. I argue that Mitchell’s production indicates that modern theatre techniques can not only transform Greek tragedy into lucid productions of contemporary relevance, but can also supplement the scholarly analysis of the plays. -

In the 1970sand1980s feminist scholars launched an important critique of the patriarchal values embedded in Western culture. Amongst other targets, they questioned the canonization of ancient Greek tragedy, labelling the plays misogynistic.1 Nevertheless, many female directors and playwrights continue to stage ancient Greek tragedy today. -

Ten Thomas Bernhard, Italo Calvino, Elena Ferrante, and Claudio Magris: from Postmodernism to Anti-Semitism
Ten Thomas Bernhard, Italo Calvino, Elena Ferrante, and Claudio Magris: From Postmodernism to Anti-Semitism Saskia Elizabeth Ziolkowski La penna è una vanga, scopre fosse, scava e stana scheletri e segreti oppure li copre con palate di parole più pesanti della terra. Affonda nel letame e, a seconda, sistema le spoglie a buio o in piena luce, fra gli applausi generali. The pen is a spade, it exposes graves, digs and reveals skeletons and secrets, or it covers them up with shovelfuls of words heavier than earth. It bores into the dirt and, depending, lays out the remains in darkness or in broad daylight, to general applause. —Claudio Magris, Non luogo a procedere (Blameless) In 1967, Italo Calvino wrote a letter about the “molto interessante e strano” (very interesting and strange) writings of Thomas Bernhard, recommending that the important publishing house Einaudi translate his works (Frost, Verstörung, Amras, and Prosa).1 In 1977, Claudio Magris held one of the !rst international conferences for the Austrian writer in Trieste.2 In 2014, the conference “Il più grande scrittore europeo?

At the center of this debate is the state of exception through which the sovereign legitimizes the juridical order by suspending preexisting civil laws. As recent theorists have argued, this has become the paradigm for modern nation states. Walter Benjamin contends, however, that a permanent state of exception has existed since the Baroque and has subjected its victims to an empty eschaton, an end without messianic redemption and devoid of all meaning. As long as the order of the sovereign is based on the dialectical relationship between law- making and law-preserving violence, this state will persevere and the messianic promise will not come to fruition. Thus Benjamin conceives of another category of violence he calls “pure violence,” which lies outside of the juridical order altogether. This type of violence also has the ability to reinstate history insofar as the inevitability of the state of exception has ceased any historical continuity. -
George Tabori
George Tabori George Tabori est un artiste accompli, scénariste, romancier, nouvelliste, auteur et metteur en scène de théâtre, directeur, chef de troupe, comé- dien à ses heures, né hongrois le 24 mai 1914 à Budapest, et décédé bri- tannique le 23 juillet 2007 à Berlin, à l’âge de 93 ans. Né en Hongrie en 1914 dans une famille d’intellectuels juifs, György Tábori est envoyé par son père en apprentissage à Berlin en 1932 et 1933. Puis il émigre à Londres en 1935 pour rejoindre son frère aîné. Il adopte la nationalité britannique, devient journaliste à la BBC et traducteur ; d’abord correspondant de guerre en Bulgarie et en Turquie, il s’engage dans l’armée britannique en 1941 et est affecté au Proche-Orient, où il écrit son premier roman. En 1943, il rentre à Londres et travaille de nouveau à la BBC. Ses parents sont déportés. Seule sa mère survit. En 1945, il est invité à Hollywood, son roman ayant attiré l’attention des studios, et s’installe aux États-Unis. Il signe des scénarios de films, notamment pour Alfred Hitchcock (La Loi du silence), Anton Litvak (Le Voyage), Joseph Losey (Cérémonie secrète, seul script qu’il revendique). En dehors de son activité de scénariste qui ne le satisfait pas au point de vue littéraire, il publie des romans. Il fréquente les plus grandes stars hollywoodiennes (Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo…) et les intellectuels alle- mands en exil. Assistant de Charles Laughton en 1947, il fait la rencontre décisive de Bertolt Brecht qu’il traduit pour la scène américaine. -

Staging Memory: The Drama Inside the Language of Elfriede Jelinek Abstract This essay focuses on Jelinek's problematic relationship to her native Austria, as it is reflected in some of her most recent plays: Ein Sportstück (A Piece About Sports), In den Alpen (In the Alps) and Das Werk (The Plant). Taking her acceptance speech for the 2004 Nobel Prize for Literature as a starting point, my essay explores Jelinek's unique approach to her native language, which carries both the burden of historic guilt and the challenge of a distinguished, if tortured literary legacy. Furthermore, I examine the performative force of her language. Jelinek's "Dramas" do not unfold in action and dialogue, rather, they are embedded in the grammar itself.
