Abstract

For a long time, Thomas Bernhard was considered scandalous in his homeland. His plays produced some of the biggest scandals, and he was accused of insulting Austria. Despite the authorâs reputation of being an enfant terrible, the insults are not gratuitous, they have a meaning, both political and personal. Besides, the authorâs homeland is not his only target; his critiques are also levelled against the public and against himself. Using self-irony, he criticizes the Austrians, and himself as an Austrian. Given the Austrian-centric context of his plays, the great success of his plays in France raises questions around their reception. Are they a way for the French public to forget about their own deficiencies, or do the public wish there were such an author in France, capable of radical critique of their institutions? One can also assume that the French public are aware that the plays have a more universal meaning. Obviously, they are aimed primarily at the Viennese public, but when they condemn right-wing extremism, they transmit a universal message to all Europeans, questioning at the same time the past and the future of the continent, especially in the current context where right-wing populism is flourishing.
