This article aims to discuss how Handke’s autobiographical narrative, A Sorrow Beyond Dreams (1972), stages the writer’s literary project through a neutral account of his mother’s suicide. Telling the story of his mother, who witnessed the Second World War and the nazi regime, Handke narrates the traumatic history of an Austrian town along with his own suffering. Concentrating on his attempt at a distanced language and his questioning of history as an objective fact, the article suggests that Handke’s perception of death and mourning parallels his understanding of the acts of writing and reading. Drawing particularly on Barthes’s concept of punctum and Lacan’s concept of tuché and engaging in Handke's representation of personal and political sides of the history of a European town in an unusual period, the article speculates on the uncanny effect of reading, which effectively turns identification into transformation.

历史上的准点：代表彼得·汉德克（Peter Handke）的《梦境之外的悲伤》中M（other）的死亡

本文旨在讨论汉德克的自传体叙事《梦境之外的悲伤》（A Sorrow Beyond Dreams，1972）如何通过对母亲自杀的中性描述来分阶段作家的文学计划。汉德克讲述了亲眼目睹第二次世界大战和纳粹政权的母亲的故事，讲述了一个奥地利小镇的创伤历史以及他自己的苦难。文章着重于他对远距离语言的尝试和对历史的客观质疑，这表明汉德对死亡和哀悼的理解与他对写作和阅读行为的理解相平行。特别是借鉴了巴特（Barthes）的标点概念和拉康（lacan）的突切概念，并在不寻常的时期内参与了汉德克（Handke）对欧洲小镇历史的个人和政治方面的代表，这篇文章推测了阅读的不可思议的作用，它有效地将识别转化为转变。希夫伦·德米尔·阿泰（Hivren Demir Atai），“历史中的准点：在彼得·汉德克的8梦境之外的悲伤中的第二页，代表M（其他）的死亡” CLCWeb：比较文学与文化21.5（2019）：特殊问题的折磨，耐力，理解。 Ed。Simon Estok，Douglas Berman和Frank Stevenson
