From Brecht to Jelinek: Michael Haneke - The Anti-Spectacular Trauma of The Real
Abstract
In the article the author attempts to show the work of Michael Haneke from the perspective of hermeneutic, post-theoretical thought, at the same time treating Haneke’s films as an example of politically engaged cinema. Using the ideas of Slavoj Zizek (and therefore indirectly Lacan’ s psychoanalysis), the leftist film theorist Todd McGowan, the French New Wave, the films of Michelangelo Antonioni, as well as Brecht’s ideas concerning theatre, the author shows Haneke not as a maker of “moving pictures”, that creates fictitious movie stories, but as an author of movie treatises that question all images and representations of reality, and finally the (dis)order ruling the “real” world. What is Real? What should one believe? Those are the key questions in Haneke’s work, that Walczak interprets and (psycho)analyses.
