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&nbsp;symptom picture in her direction of Jelinek’s&nbsp;play Begierde und Fahrerlaubnis. Jelinek’s masterpiece Kinder der Toten was the reward of recovery from the narcissism of unmouring the mother tongue.2021&nbsp;Author Laurence Rickels&nbsp;Sound engineer Jochen Jezzusek&nbsp;In VOICEOVER, film material is recommended for watching while listening to the lecture.&nbsp;La Pianiste (2001) should be muted while viewing&nbsp; <hr> Hosted on Acast.
