Susan Sontag Berühmte Zitate

„Faschismus (und offene Militärherrschaft) ist nicht nur das wahrscheinliche Schicksal aller kommunistischen Gesellschaften - insbesondere, wenn ihre Bevölkerung zum Aufstand veranlasst wird -, sondern der Kommunismus ist an sich eine Variante, die erfolgreichste Variante des Faschismus. Faschismus mit menschlichem Antlitz.“

("Not only is Fascism (and overt military rule) the probable destiny of all Communist societies — especially when their populations are moved to revolt — but Communism is in itself a variant, the most successful variant, of Fascism. Fascism with a human face.") - Ansprache, Town Hall, New York, 6. Februar 1982, "Susan Sontag Provokes Debate on Communism" http://www.nytimes.com/books/00/03/12/specials/sontag-communism.html, The New York Times, 27. Februar 1982, p. 27

„Die Wahrheit ist, dass Mozart, Pascal, Boolesche Algebra, Shakespeare, parlamentarische Regierungsform, Barockkirchen, Newton, die Emanzipation der Frauen, Kant, Marx und die Ballette Balanchines nicht wiedergutmachen, was diese besondere Zivilisation über die Welt gebracht hat. Die weiße Rasse ist der Krebs der Menschheitsgeschichte.“

("The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean Algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx, and Balanchine ballets don't redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history.") - Partisan Review (Winter 1967), p. 57 Notes on Susan http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2007/aug/16/notes-on-susan, The New York Review of Books, Eliot Weinberger, 2007

Susan Sontag: Zitate auf Englisch

“Since it is hardly likely that contemporary critics seriously mean to bar prose narratives that are unrealistic from the domain of literature, one suspects that a special standard is being applied to sexual themes. … There is nothing conclusive in the well-known fact that most men and women fall short of the sexual prowess that people in pornography are represented as enjoying; that the size of organs, number and duration of orgasms, variety and feasibility of sexual powers, and amount of sexual energy all seem grossly exaggerated. Yes, and the spaceships and the teeming planets depicted in science-fiction novels don’t exist either. The fact that the site of narrative is an ideal topos disqualifies neither pornography or science-fiction from being literature. … The materials of the pornographic books that count as literature are, precisely, one of the extreme forms of human consciousness. Undoubtedly, many people would agree that the sexually obsessed consciousness can, in principle, enter into literature as an art form. … But then they usually add a rider to the agreement which effectively nullifies it. They require that the author have the proper “distance” from his obsessions for their rendering to count as literature. Such a standard is sheer hypocrisy, revealing one again that the values commonly applied to pornography are, in the end, those belonging to psychiatry and social affairs rather than to art. (Since Christianity upped that ante and concentrated on sexual behavior as the root of virtue, everything pertaining to sex has been a “special case” in our culture, evoking particularly inconsistent attitudes.) Van Gogh’s paintings retain their status as art even if it seems his manner of painting owed less to a conscious choice of representational means than to his being deranged and actually seeing reality the way he painted it. … What makes a work of pornography part of the history of art rather than of trash is not distance, the superimposition of a consciousness more conformable to that of ordinary reality upon the “deranged consciousness” of the erotically obsessed. Rather, it is the originality, thoroughness, authenticity, and power of that deranged consciousness itself, as incarnated in a work.”

“Painters and sculptors under the Nazis often depicted the nude, but they were forbidden to show any bodily imperfections. Their nudes look like pictures in physique magazines: pinups which are both sanctimoniously asexual and (in a technical sense) pornographic, for they have the perfection of a fantasy.”
