Abstract

Angela Frischauf examines the image of women in literature with regard to their approach to “sexuality” and “pornography.” For her primary texts, she draws upon novels by Elfriede Jelinek, Marlene Streeruwitz, and Christa Nebenführ. Frischauf’s work, which is also her dissertation in literary studies, does not succeed, however, in providing a differentiated and critical treatment of these complex themes. The result is a questionable examination of “pornography” and “sexuality” that loses sight of the actual topic at hand and hovers at a linguistically pretentious level.
