Controversial Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek wins Nobel Literature Prize
當地時間10月7日下午13時(北京時間19時),瑞典皇家文學院宣布,奧地利女作家艾爾芙蕾德·耶利內克(Elfriede Jelinek)獲得了2004年度諾貝爾文學獎。瑞典皇家科學院在頒獎公告中說,授予耶利內克諾貝爾文學獎的理由是“她的小說和劇本中表現出音樂的動感,她用超凡的語言顯示了社會的荒謬以及它們使人屈服的奇異力量。”

Acclaimed and controversial Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek, whose work often explores the role of women in society, was awarded the 2004 Nobel Literature Prize, the Swedish Academy announced.

Jelinek, 57, only the 10th woman to win the Nobel Literature Prize, is the author of "The Piano Teacher", which was made into an acclaimed film by Michael Haneke in 2001.

Jelinek is the first Austrian to take the coveted award and will receive a prize sum of 10 million kronor (1.1 million euros, 1.3 million dollars).

She won the award "for her musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that with extraordinary linguistic zeal reveal the absurdity of society's cliches and their subjugating power," the jury said.

Highly respected abroad for her literary exploration of gender issues, sexuality and violence in society, Jelinek is also controversial in her native Austria for her views on contemporary political issues, such as the Iraq war, anti-Semitism and xenophobia .

"Jelinek is a highly controversial figure in her homeland," and once even depicted Austria as "a realm of death" in a novel, the jury said.

In many of her works, including the semi-autobiographical "The Piano Teacher", Jelinek presents a pitiless world of violence and submission, hunter and prey.

The novel, and the subsequent film, graphically and explicitly explore voyeurism and masochism, and trace the self-destruction of the main protagonist, Erika Kohut, a piano teacher at the Vienna Conservatory.

Kohut, in her forties and suffering from a deeply disturbed relationship with her mother, trawls the seedy side of contemporary Vienna, until her existence is disturbed by a young male student who falls in love with her, and whose romantic ideas are challenged by her disturbed sexuality.

One of Jelinek's basic themes is the inability of women to "fully come to life in a world where they are painted over with stereotypical images", the Academy said in its citation.

In many novels, she depicts power and aggression as the driving forces of relationships and uses pornographic description of sexuality, aggression and abuse to underpin this point, like in the novel "Lust".

Speculation had been rife in Stockholm this year that women writers, long overlooked by the Swedish Academy which each year awards the Nobel Literature Prize, were well-placed to take home the honours this time.

The favourites included Algeria's Assia Djebar, Joyce Carol Oates of the United States and a Dane, Inger Christensen, but not Jelinek.

She will receive the Nobel Prize, which consists of the prize money, a gold medal and a diploma, from Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf at a formal ceremony in Stockholm on December 10, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prizes, in 1896.

She said the prize was "surprising and a great honor," but added she might not travel to Stockholm for the award ceremony. "I cannot at this time deal with people," she said.

The Nobel committee said Jelinek was part of an Austrian tradition of "linguistically sophisticated social criticism", which includes Karl Kraus, Elias Canetti and Thomas Bernhard.

Austrian President Heinz Fischer said he "heartily" welcomed the news, and said the prize served as a "tribute to all Austrian literature."

But in an illustration of her conflictual relationship with her home country's establishment, Jelinek quipped that said she did not see the prize as "a feather in Austria's cap."

Jelinek retired from public life in 1996 after rightwing politicians from Joerg Haider's Freedom Party (FPOe) used her name in campaigns, denouncing her work as low and immoral art.
