Theater Heute’s Nachwuchsdramatikerin of 1992, Streeruwitz is nevertheless better known and more highly fêted as a prose writer. Streeruwitz has never completely abandoned the dramatic mode, however, and I examine two of her most recent plays, Die letzten Tage der Zweiten Republik (2017) and Mar-a-Lago. oder. Neuschwanstein. (2018) to revisit the reasons for Streeruwitz’s disaffection for the theatre. What traces are to be found in these new works of Streeruwitz’s 1990s’ Absurdist explorations of the human condition and of modern society and what motivates Streeruwitz’s political explorations of the 2010s

This is caused by consumption of high food fat, sugar and refined grains that is higher compared to vegetables and the seeds because of its deliciousness, give the full feeling and cheaper cost. This research try to explore the relationship between the food cost, the density of food energy intake and the nutritional status of the woman market traders in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta. This research used cross sectional design with the number of samples 64 female traders based on the status of the overweight and normal. The food energy density data is recorded with food recall 24 hours, and the food cost is obtained from price survey in the local market. Results of the research shows food with the highest energy density is jerohan (9 kcals/g), the food with the lowest energy density is the cucumber (0.08 kcals/g), food with the highest cost is the string bean (Rp. 117/100 kcals), the food with the lowest cost is jerohan (Rp.1.10/100 kcals). There is a significant negative correlation between the food cost and the energy density of food (r =-0,521; (p<0,05). Average energy intake from main food is 979 kcals (±282), vegetables and fruit is 48 kcals(±24.1), sugar and fat is 909 kcals (±299). There is significant difference on average energy intake (238 kcals) of main food, fruits and vegetables (19 kcals), and sugar and fats (344 kcals) with respect to nutritional status. Nutrition education using dietary guidelines should be the main effort to reduce the prevalence of overweight .

It also asks whether the material itself is of interest to non-Austrian readers and audiences and whether an English-language translation or production is conceivable. I suggest that if Jelinek's material had been written in her later, more complex, 'postdramatic' style it might indeed have been staged more often.

Samples are taken from Die Liebhaberinnen, the Prinzessinnendramen ('Jackie') and from Rechnitz.

It is all the more surprising that the election results of 1999 produced a huge and sustained uprising against an apparent turn to the right in Austrian politics. This manifested itself on the streets as well as in the pages of novels and plays, in documentary and feature films, in popular music and in everyday artistic interventions. The inauguration of a coalition government with the far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPO) in February 2000 is the catalyst for the multifaceted corpus of artworks we examine in The Art of Resistance. This study provides the necessary contextual background to postwar Austrian cultural and political history and analyses the variety of aesthetic styles and strategies deployed by a large range of artists, some internationally renowned, others less prominent or indeed little known. All of them pit against the increased normalization of far-right thinking their own galvanizing creativity and critical insight.

This article examines a body of protest music (ranging from heavy metal, rock and punk, to mock-choral and microtonal) that came about between 1999 and 2004 as a direct response to the turn in Austrian politics towards the extreme right. In interrogating this protest music I discern an important and hitherto underresearched facet of identity-(de)construction in Austria's artistic self-expression. It suggests a highly politicized counter-image to the usual, musically inspired representations of Austria, the land more readily associated abroad with Mozart and Haydn, the Vienna boys' choir, waltzing and yodelling. The music here is interrogated for the textual and musical strategies it deploys, and the spaces and icons of protest performance are probed for their efficacy and for the political interventions that they engender.
