Taking studies on deconstruction, performance theories, and pragmatics as my point of departure, I investigate Elfriede Jelinek’s last political play Schwarzwasser (2020), where the so-called Ibiza-gate – which in 2018 involved the former Vice Chancellor of Austria – is represented. In her interpretation, Jelinek refers to René Girard’s Violence and the Sacred and Euripides’ Bacchae in an intertextual dialogue. This contribution aims to show how and why Jelinek recalls and employs The Bacchae in her play and to establish a connection between the political function of Greek theatre and Jelinek’s view of Austrian populism.

Focusing on the example of the so-called “Augsburger Messer” in Thomas Bernhard’s Amras, the paper explores the possibility of overcoming the barriers to a hermeneutical reading of Bernhard’s texts through the exploitation of literary things. By comprising both its material and its symbolic dimension the micro analysis of the “Augsburger Messer” suggests coupling the eclectic potential of things in literary texts with Bernhard’s additive and associative style. Eventually, this approach not only opens up a new perspective on Amras as one of Bernhard’s most remarkable texts, but also presents his writing as one that is deeply permeated with the traumatic structures of violence and (Austrian) history.

This article examines how David Schalko’s series Braunschlag (2012) presents a community that is threatened by disintegrative forces and dysfunctional communications. The series is read as a political allegory on postmodernist struggles in Austrian culture – as a laboratory for western European societies in general – between globalisation and provincialism. As this is linked to aspects of popular culture in the series, the article includes theoretical thoughts about popular cultural “common grounds” with their inclusive and exclusive function, as analysed by M. Bauer, U. Eco and M. Tomasello.
