- Title
Verhandlung und Reflexion. Tabu(rück)bildung zwischen Literatur und Kultur am Beispiel von Elfriede Jelineks Die Kinder der Toten.
- Authors

- Abstract
In recent cultural studies taboos are conceived as results of a process rather than specific objects. They are constructed through the three phases of marking a taboo, breaking it and marking this breach by sanctions. This process allows a new analysis of the interaction between culture and literature. Literary texts are not confined to mere transgression. They have a double capacity to negotiate taboos as well as to reflect on their cultural making and unmaking. These historical dynamics escape the usual focus on conflicts of law and aesthetics.
