Abstract

Authorship and book market are central issues in Elfriede Jelinek's novels Gier and Neid, both published in the noughties. These texts must not be considered in isolation but as part of a wider tendency of critical depictions of the author-fixation in literary marketing in German and Austrian novels of the time. They also express worries for the future of the book and literature itself as they seem to be under threat through the rise of the internet and digital audiovisual media. The article analyzes the two novels with a view to understanding Jelinek's attempts to deconstruct the ‘brand Jelinek’. The new genre of the online novel is interpreted as providing new opportunities to manipulate the author's media image. In den von Elfriede Jelinek in den Nullerjahren veröffentlichten Romanen Gier und Neid ist die Auseinandersetzung mit den Themen Autorschaft und Buchmarkt von zentraler Bedeutung. Diese Texte sind nicht als Einzelphänomen zu sehen, sondern als Teil einer Reihe von österreichischen und deutschen Romanen, die die Medialisierung und zunehmende Autorfixierung der Literaturvermittlung reflektieren. Sie können als Ausdruck einer Sorge um die Zukunft des Buches und der Literatur gelten, die mit dem Aufstieg des Internet und der digitalen Medien begann. Der Artikel analysiert die Romane im Hinblick darauf, wie Jelinek die Lenkung des Lesers dazu nutzt, um eine literarische Demontage und Destruktion der ‘Marke Jelinek’ zu erreichen. Die mediale Form des Onlineromans wird als eine Möglichkeit der ästhetischen Manipulation des medialen Autorbildes gedeutet, die wiederum neue Perspektiven auf die Interpretation der Texte eröffnet.
