| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of the most difficult and thoroughly discussed issues in contemporary society is the question of who is "tojisha" (directly affected) by a catastrophic event, for example, in post-WWII society or following the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and Tsunami. In this project I delved into some noteworthy examples from contemporary Austrian literature that deal with this issue, illustrating their narrative strategies and deriving one model from them. The play "Kein Licht" ("No light", 2011) by Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek (born 1946) served as the central example. This play was written in immediate response to the Tohoku disaster, but told from a geographical distance (i.e. based on her "experiences" via various media). In light of that Jelinek's literary strategies that deal with not only the event itself but also the "medial" characteristic of experiences were analyzed in this project.
