It functions as a historical and political project, wherein the work of EXPORT and Jelinek is read in the context of the formation and unprocessed historical memory of the Second Republic of Austria. It analyses how, in these works, the body is figured in relation to theories found in Theodor Adorno and Sigmund Freud and it also contributes original research to interpretations of EXPORT and Jelinek. More precisely, this thesis attempts to theorise a concept of artistic labour which includes the categories of the body, instinct, sublimation, repression and history. It brings the question of gender and the body into relation with Theodor Adorno’s concept of artistic labour in Aesthetic Theory (1970), where an artwork is understood as the congelation of useless social labour. It shows that on the one hand, the analysis of the body in this art is undertaken as a critique of women’s reduction to reproductive function or sexual-object. On the other, this art reflects on and works against the reduction of the human-body to material, in both the economic-process and in relation to the past. It enquires into the meaning of artistic use of the body, within language, image and action, under racial-patriarchal-capitalism in postwar art. Moreover, it articulates the necessity of a feminism beyond ‘innocence’ and pure Otherness. The approach that I take attempts to move dialectically between critical interpretation, historical analysis and speculation. The works in question carry forward a historical response and proximity to the legacy of Nazism and its latent and pronounced continuity within the founding of the postwar nation state: The Second Republic of Austria. ‘Figuring Austria’s Repressed Violence’ is structured into five chapters which work through the following categories: identity, and the body as material; the limit of the body, expressed in relation to repression and shame and the Leib-Körper distinction; the concept of thinking-praxis in Feminist Actionism; the role of ‘woman’ and the uses of gender by fascism; the gendered dialectic of the sub-history of film and the ‘subterranean history of the body’ and lastly, on the concepts of history, fate and abstraction in relation to the politics of Heimat and nativism. v Table of Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1 - Perspectives on the Body 1.1: Pain and Pleasure 10 1.1.1: Discourses 15 1.1.2: Art and the Body 18 1.2: Austria 21 1.2.1: Moments of Resistance 23 1.2.2: Continuities 25 1.2.3: Waldheim and the Palimpsest of 1989 30 1.3: The Body as Material 34 1.3.1: Ambiguity of the Body 41 1.3.2: Dialectics of the Body 47 1.3.3: Conclusion: The Body as Transfigured Nature 49 Chapter 2 - The Limit of the Body 2.1: Bearing Repression 52 2.1.1: Material Thinking 53 2.1.2: Hyperbulie 60 2.1.3: Between Victim and Accomplice 63 2.2: Praxis 65 2.2.1: Subject and History 71 2.3: A retired Niobe 73 2.3.1: Writing the Body 74 2.3.2: The Perception of Leib and Körper 82 2.3.3: Perversions 85 2.3.4: Conclusion: The Social Expression of the Body 89 Chapter 3 - The Uses of Woman 3.1: Labour of Sexuality 91 3.1.1: Pornography’s debates 95 3.1.2: Creation, Procreation; Production, Reproduction 100 3.2: The Holy Family 105 3.2.1: Psychoanalysis: between Communism and Fascism 108 3.2.2: Transactions 114 3.3: Gender and Fascism 117 3.3.1: Subtraction and Destruction 127 3.3.2: The Dialectics of Language 130 3.2.3: Conclusion: Against Innocence 132 vi Chapter 4 - Life Becomes a Film: Deformation, Media and the Body 4.1.0: Cinema: Expanded and Reduced 135 4.1.1: Cinema takes to the streets 138 4.1.2: Fetish against Fetish 145 4.1.3: Production and Reproduction 147 4.2: Expanded History Film 151 4.2.1: Trümmerfrau of Film 159 4.2.2: The History of Women 162 4.3: Silence over the Body 169 4.3.1: The Self-Mutilating Dialectics of Totality 174 4.3.2: Conclusion: The Modern Song 177 Chapter 5 - A Mountain of Fate 5.1: Totenauberg 180 5.1.1: A Work in Four Parts 186 5.1.2: What Hides in Language? 193 5.2: Fate in Elfriede Jelinek 205 5.2.1: Real Life 208 5.2.2: Against Fate 210 5.2.3: Fate’s Abstraction 212 5.3: Conclusion: Sending Up 215 Conclusion 217 Bibliography 224 Illustrations 243 vii List of Illustrations Plate 0.1.

  • Introduction Podge of Half-Anonymous Nationalities and Clumsily Struggling Against the Fresh, Ambitious, and Apparently Victorious Idea of Nationalism
    IN TRODUCTION ustria-Hungary ceased to exist almost a hundred years ago. The A oldest generation of Central Europeans can remember it from their parents’ and grandparents’ stories. The majority of them learned about it in high school and associates the monarchy with its few roy- als, particularly the late Franz Joseph and his eccentric wife Elisabeth. Those figures, already famous during their lifetime, entered the realm of popular culture and remain recognizable in most countries of Eu- rope, providing a stable income for the souvenir industry in what used to be their empire and inspiration for screenwriters on both sides of the Atlantic. Naturally, the situation varies from country to country as far as history textbooks and historical monuments are concerned. Thus, Austrians and Hungarians are generally more familiar with the monarchy than are the Germans or Poles, not to mention the British and French, whereas Serbs, Italians, Czechs, and Romanians tend to be highly suspicious of it. The old monarchy also built quite well, so modern travelers who wish to see what is left of the Habsburg em- pire do not need to limit their curiosity to imperial residences, nor to the opera houses in cities such as Prague, Lviv, and Zagreb. In most cities of former Austria-Hungary, visitors can get acquainted with Habsburg architecture at the railway station. In this respect Vienna, heavily bombed by the Anglo-American air forces and the Soviet artil- lery during World War II, is merely a sad exception. Other traces of the 1 imperial past can still be discovered in many private apartments, an- tique shops, and retro-style cafés, in cemeteries, and old photographs.

  • Exile and Holocaust Literature in German and Austrian Post-War Culture

While the German language signified intellectual independence and freedom of self-definition (against one‘s roots) for Kertész before the Holocaust, he notes (based on his engagement with fellow writer Jean Améry) that writing in German created severe difficulties in the post-war era. Using the examples of Hilde Spiel and Friedrich Torberg, this article explores this notion and asks how the loss of language experienced by Holocaust survivors impacted on these two Austrian-Jewish writers. The article argues that, while the works of Spiel and Torberg are haunted by the Shoah, the two writers do not write in the post-Auschwitz language that Kertész delineates in his essays, but are instead shaped by the exile experience of both writers. At the same time though, Kertész‘ concept seems to be haunted by exile, as his reception of Jean Améry‘s works, which form the basis of his linguistic genealogies, shows an inability to integrate the experience of exile.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

On Rereading Klaus Theweleit's Male Fantasies Abstract Klaus Theweleit's Male Fantasies has generated broad interest in the literature of several academic disciplines. His analysis of the symbolic and gender dynamics of the leaders of the German Freikorps (German paramilitary mercenary units of the period 1918-1923) has been widely generalized into a theory of modern masculinity. Two issues inadequately explored in Theweleit's work nonetheless must be read through more recent empirical and theoretical work in history and sociology: (1) the formative role of colonial military experience in the careers of the German Freikorps officers who provide the material for his analysis and (2) the complex historical problem of the facticity of rape in Freikorps activity.
