Abstract
This chapter examines Ingeborg Bachmann's attitude towards the obligatory use of audio technology in public speeches. Bachmann once offered a forceful critique of modern mass media, which she believed was responsible for the condition of contingency that defines modernity. Yet her objections did not keep Bachmann from producing audio recordings of works that she recited herself. This chapter considers Bachmann's 1964 Büchner Prize address, Deutsche Zufälle (German Contingencies), which it argues falls short of any obvious aural performativity and is delivered in a nondramatic prosody. It emphasizes the discrepancy between the innocuous tone of Bachmann's performance and the confrontational style and calamitous subject matter of her speech. It also discusses Bachmann's experimentation with the limits of Darstellbarkeit (representability) in her Büchner Prize address, as well as the speech's hidden implications: according to Bachmann, the entire nation suffers from a collective trauma.
