The legacy of Nazism, the prevalence of right-wing populism, the war in Iraq, the ongoing financial crisis, humanitarian disasters, misogyny and sexism \u2013 all are tackled in formally innovative ways and across a&nbsp;wide range of genres. Employing original theoretical approaches to Jelinek\u2019s writing, its theatrical realization and its international reception, the contributors to this volume explore Jelinek\u2019s work through the intersecting lenses of sport, cultural understanding and translation (both linguistic and artistic). This first volume of Austrian Studies to be dedicated to the work of a&nbsp;single author is a&nbsp;testament to the richness of Jelinek\u2019s working methods and to her significant impact in multiple geographical, political and cultural arenas.<\/p>\n<p>This special issue of <em>Austrian Studies<\/em> is edited by Allyson Fiddler, Professor of German and Austrian Studies at Lancaster, and Karen J\u00fcrs-Munby, Lecturer in Theatre Studies at Lancaster.
