Abstract
The inclination of a certain sector of the Austrian population towards an extreme right regime, the lack of punishment of some Second World War perpetrators, together with her own family history were used by the Nobel Laureate for Literature, Elfriede Jelinek as an incentive to recall the Austrian post-war past within the collective and individual memory. My research project proposes an analysis of several novels written by Jelinek, following the theories existent in psychoanalysis, in historiography and in collective memory, within the political context in which they were written, by identifying the collective and individual traumatic aspects of a fictitious society, caused by the continuous oscillation of the Austrians between victimhood and complicity since the Mos- cow Declaration of 1943.
