Jeff Schinkers Sabotage: Ausbrüche aus der Einheitssprache
In his Aesthetics of Verbal Art, Mikhail Bakhtin analyses the social imprint left on every word by prior uses, which impedes its complete appropriation by the speaking subject. Jeff Schinker’s book Sabotage dances through the tension between monologic and dialogic tendencies, between ideology and subversion, sociality and subjectivity. The quadrilingual text constantly challenges the linguistic position of its readers, and moreover reflects on language and multilingualism through metalingual, metatextual and metapoetic passages. This contribution seeks to understand the discursive and textual strategies employed in the narrative cycle to reinvent language in ever new ways in spite of its inherent limitations.
