Literature as Proxy War: Handke, Serbia, and the Austrian "Inability to Mourn"

Abstract:

This article is a reaction to the heated debate on the occasion of Peter Handke's Nobel Prize in 2019. It tries to reveal three problem areas found most notably in his "travelogues" on Yugoslavia, Winterliche Reise and Sommerlicher Nachtrag. The first is that in their strategic one- sidedness, they gloss over the issues of organized violence in Bosnia and especially the responsibility for the genocide of Srebrenica rather than revealing anything else—a literary ventriloquism of his nationalist Serbian "informants." Second, the article explores the extent to which Handke's writings develop Balkan stereotyping as a fantasy dreamworld to "poeticize" reality and create an ersatz- belonging for his torn identity. Finally, the article looks at the Austrian "inability to mourn," deconstructing Handke's positions by connecting him to one of the primal scenes of Austria's Second Republic, the scandal revolving around the wartime activities of the presidential candidate Kurt Waldheim in 1986

作为代理人战争的文学:汉德克、塞尔维亚和奥地利人的“无法哀悼”

摘要:

本文是对彼得·汉德克 (Peter Handke) 2019 年诺贝尔奖之际的激烈争论的回应。它试图揭示在他关于南斯拉夫、Winterliche ReiseSommerlicher Nachtrag 的“游记”中最显着的三个问题领域. 首先,他们在战略上的片面性,掩盖了波斯尼亚有组织的暴力问题,尤其是斯雷布雷尼察种族灭绝的责任,而不是揭露其他任何东西——他的民族主义塞尔维亚“线人”的文学腹语。其次,这篇文章探讨了汉德克的作品在多大程度上将巴尔干刻板印象发展为一个幻想的梦幻世界,以“诗化”现实并为他撕裂的身份创造一种替代归属感。最后,文章着眼于奥地利人的“无法哀悼”,通过将汉德克与奥地利第二共和国的原始场景之一联系起来来解构汉德克的立场,丑闻围绕 1986 年总统候选人库尔特瓦尔德海姆的战时活动展开
