Description

Paradigmatic approach: Exploring the identity formula in today's Europe as a superposition of states In the German and Austrian intellectual history, there is an epistemological narrative thread leading from Christoph Lichtenberg's intriguingly meaningful understanding of "Konjunktive" and their wider implications on dealing with various degrees of probability in the act of language formulation to the very use of the concept "conjunctivus potentialis" in Robert Musil's Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften and further on through Thomas Bernhard's "Alterswerk" Alte Meister (Old masters). The latter two of the above- named authors have pushed the debate on cultural and political Austrian identity to what seemed and still seems at times to be the grotesque limits of human inquiry. Although no definite answer pops up in their oeuvre to claim some kind of exclusivity with respect to a possible solid Austrian definition, what they put in place is indeed a question mark so big it eventually turned into an ultimate statement of powerful expression thanks to the writers' creatively employing the literary and philosophical means given by the phenomenon of collapsing paradigms. The sentiment of having experienced in many ways a total collapse is all too present within contemporary Austrian thinking and writing. Owning space becomes thus a most volatile form of proprietorship. The German self and the European other, the Austrian self and the German other, the German Austrian self and the Non-German Austrian other, or the Kaiserstadt vs. the Provinz: all these dichotomies are inherent to spelling Europe from an Austrian perspective - with a nostalgic sense of lost ownership and diffuse hope for future belonging. Nevertheless, in the linguistic journey from Eigentum to Eigenschaft, properties keep being measurable things, even if they might become qualities. It appears that the collapsing paradigms that tell the story of being a European Austrian with no European Austrian empire bring the Heimat/Antiheimat discourse together with its assumptions, prejudices and truth claims right into the making of contemporary history. Of course, Austrian writers do not really strive to be epigones but are rather concerned with placing more meaning into their perceived mission as adequate catalysts in the newly crafted political and cultural interaction process at the European level.The almost axiomatic imperative of belonging to some greater organization or to some greater context is part of Austrians' underlying self-representation, an intuition with deep historic roots. Even after Chancellor Bismarck forged into being, in 1871 (under Emperor Wilhelm I), what was to be later known as the Second Reich, Austrians perceived the Austrian Emperor, who had ruled the (First) Reich for so many centuries, as being the Big Boss and the German Emperor as ... Number Two. Up to the onset of WWI Vienna was definitely the place to be.In the last few decades, it so happened that he myths of the Habsburger monarchy have lost their exclusivity over Austrian private and public expression, as have the myths of the Ständerepublik. This brought the question of national identity alive again.Vasile V. Poenaru would argue that the author who picked up in more recent years the "truly Austrian" thread based on this sophisticated historical, political und cultural interconnectivity is no other than Karl Markus Gauß, who received, among many other awards yet to come, the prestigious European essay prize Charles Veillon (1997) and who went on systematic trips (both metaphorically and in the literal sense of the word) to the European outposts in order to learn where this continent comes from and where it is heading. The semantic space Gauß owns beyond "k. und k." (kaiserlich und königlich) goes back in time and jumps forward into a language that is not yet been spoken: a possible communication device for adequately spelling Europe in the third millennium.Albert Krauss, Linz
