Julian Schutting (* 25. October 1937 in Amstetten , Lower Austria as Jutta Schutting Mary Frances ) is an Austrian writer .

Life

Schutting lived in Amstetten until he was 15 and then graduated from the graphic teaching and research institute in Vienna (photography class). He later studied history and German at the University of Vienna . From 1965 to 1987 he taught at the Vienna Technological Trade Museum (TGM).

First publications were made in literary magazines. In 1973, the Otto Müller Verlag in Salzburg published the volume of poems In der Sprache der Insel and Europa Verlag (Vienna) published the prose volume Baum in O. The following year, Schutting published for the first time at Residenz Verlag (Salzburg) and has been one of its in-house authors ever since. Further books were published in Styria (Graz), Droschl (Graz), Jung und Jung (Salzburg) and other publishers.

Until his gender reassignment in 1989 he lived as Jutta Schutting. Through his publisher at the time, he had it declared: “With this step he is looking for 'agreement with my lifelong self-esteem'.” Since then, Schutting has lived and published under his name Julian Schutting as a freelance writer in Vienna. In October 2007, on the occasion of a radio broadcast on Ö1 on his 70th birthday, Schutting pointed out that he "[...] no longer [wants to talk] about it today", because "why should he have to justify himself forever?"

Schuttings work includes prose , poetry and treatises on the philosophy of language . The author is a member of the Graz Authors' Assembly .

Quotes

“I consulted with André Heller about the name . I told him: 'Maybe Johann.' And Heller gave me a very funny answer, then everyone would ask themselves whether an uncle from the Schutting family would write too now. Judas was out of the question because I am not a traitor to women. What was there left? Julius Meinl ? You can tell from the name Julian what was. "

- Julian Schutting : Quoted from profil, 1989

"When it says in the [...] that Schutting will be a man, I can only add: 'I will become a little more the man I have always been." I'm becoming a man, which means that I wasn't before. ... "

- Julian Schutting : Quoted from profil, 1989
