No systematic investigations of Elfriede Jelinek’s authorial positioning within the hierarchies of the literary field exist. Previous research has nevertheless noted that the authorship is distinguished by a high degree of reflexivity in relation to the power structures it confronts. Studies on the very earliest phase of establishing herself in the Austrian literary field in the years 1966–1969 have, however, emphasized two characteristics: social isolation and literary imitation. Both aspects suggest authorial immaturity if not inferiority, which seems oddly anachronistic and normative given the astonishingly rapid literary success of Jelinek in this period. This article relates the early success to a shift of values in the literary field at the end of the 1960 s, which allowed for new forms of provocative and experimental expressions to generate literary capital. Jelinek’s transgressive authorial dispositions accumulate symbolic capital using a combination of eclectic texts and strategies of self-fashioning within quite diverse contexts, drawing on social networks, media outlets, and literary publications. The theoretical framework primarily draws on concepts developed by Pierre Bourdieu, most notably habitus and symbolic capital.
