Abstract: Elfriede Jelinek’s play Winter’s Journey, like all of Jelinek’s work, is strongly influenced by the Austrian tradition of language criticism. Jelinek’s writing bears witness to both a visceral distrust of the possible perversions of discourse and a radical confidence in its power to unveil and fight. Jelinek works against the language she uses, she kneads and twists it, but also expands and emancipates it.
