This article examines how Terézia Mora's Darius‐Kopp trilogy (Der einzige Mann auf dem Kontinent (2009), Das Ungeheuer (2013), Auf dem Seil (2018)) and Iris Hanika's novel Das Eigentliche (2010) use the early Christian motif of acedia to critique contemporary capitalism. It argues that in these works acedia, the originally theological discourse on the ‘sin of sloth’, articulates a form of passive protest against the conditions of working life and life more generally in ‘fast’ capitalism. Protest takes the form of exhaustion, boredom, and cumulative overwhelming, all of which are attributes of acedia. The article also considers how both authors experiment with signification, arguing that in so doing they expose what Slavoj Žižek calls ‘the inertia of the Real’: in the contemporary context, everyday digital technologies which remediate information. These aesthetic innovations, which emphasise the materiality of signification in the creaturely world of modern acedia, point to the frailty of contemporary capitalism and its uncertain future.

孤独的抗议者:特雷齐亚·莫拉(TRIÉZIAMORA)的达里乌斯·科普(DARIUS-KOPP)三部曲中的爱迪亚和艾里斯·汉尼卡(IRIS HANIKA)的达斯(DAS)身份证明

本文探讨如何特雷斯·莫拉的大流士-柯普三部曲(明镜einzige曼奥夫DEM Kontinent(2009年),达斯Ungeheuer(2013年),奥夫DEM传唱(2018))和艾里什·哈尼卡的小说达斯Eigentliche(2010)使用的早期基督教主题绝望批判当代资本主义。它认为,在这些作品“ acedia”中,最初是关于“懒惰之罪”的神学论述,表达了一种对“快速”资本主义中的工作生活和生活条件的被动抗议形式。抗议采取疲惫,无聊和累积压倒的形式,所有这些都是acedia的属性。。这篇文章还考虑了两位作者如何尝试意义,认为这样做可以揭露SlavojŽižek所说的“现实的惯性”:在当代背景下,日常数字技术可以修复信息。这些美学上的创新强调了现代acedia虚构世界中意义的重要性,它们指出了现代资本主义的脆弱性及其不确定的未来。
