Kohut

Heinz Kohut on narcissistic rage meets Erika Kohut in Elfried Jelinek’s Die Klavierspielerin and, in Michael Haneke’s La Pianiste, as interpreted by Isabelle Huppert. Jelinek’s inheritance of post-WWII Austrian language pessimism is examined as a narcissistic disorder symptomatized in the life and work of Walter Poppelreuter. Closer to home Ulrike Ottinger treated the symptom picture in her direction of Jelinek’s play Begierde und Fahrerlaubnis. Jelinek’s masterpiece Kinder der Toten was the reward of recovery from the narcissism of unmouring the mother tongue.2021 Author Laurence Rickels Sound engineer Jochen Jezzusek In VOICEOVER, film material is recommended for watching while listening to the lecture. La Pianiste (2001) should be muted while viewing  Hosted on Acast.
