The life of Jesus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The life of Jesus is a comic by the Austrian cartoonist Gerhard Haderer, published in 2002 by Carl Ueberreuter Verlag . The book, which humorously follows Jesus' life from birth to ascension under the influence of incense and pays special attention to the behavior of the disciples , caused violent protests when it was published in Austria. Church and political representatives publicly opposed the work, which subsequently became a bestseller and appeared in numerous other countries. Haderer was reported for his book in Austria and the Czech Republic. In Greece he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for blasphemy for The Life of Jesus , but was acquitted during the appeal hearing. The controversy surrounding the book not only sparked discussions about the freedom of art (Article 17a StGG ), but also about the then new EU arrest warrant , which at the time was particularly controversial in Germany.

action

The birth of Jesus is introduced when the umbilical cord is cut . Through the cry of the child, the Three Wise Men become aware of the stable and leave their gifts, which were actually intended for the Messiah, there. The incense exerts a special magic on the toddler, calms them down and creates a bright halo around their forehead, which soon illuminates the area. The residents of the city perceive this as a miracle. Father Joseph takes advantage of the effects of incense and lets Jesus sit in his workshop as a night light. Jesus also makes himself popular with the children because - when he has sniffed the incense - they themselves enable the play heaven and hell at night through his radiance . Jesus soon gathers eleven disciples around him ("eleven plus one substitute, so twelve in total.").

Some time later, Jesus "heals" the daughter of a rich man who previously had great coordination problems in her dark room with his incense rays. The disciples let themselves be paid for the miracle and receive twice as much as offered when they refer to Jesus' peace sign . Jesus performs more miracles, “walks” across the water on a driftwood surfboard and heals a supposedly blind tailor by taking off his sunglasses. The disciples are always well paid for his deeds.

Jesus unintentionally resolves the dispute over a single fish when there is a hungry crowd while sitting on the seashore, as his halo makes the crew of a fully loaded fishing boat think of a lighthouse. The disciples, who are getting fatter, open a winery when Jesus begins to turn water into wine. The disciples cheer at the Lord's Supper, while Jesus happily sinks into the mist of incense. The bill for the meal is forgiven him when he turns the landlord barrels of water into wine. The next morning, bored with the disciples' business, he lies down under an olive tree with his arms outstretched. The disciples market the pose immediately so that Jesus, strengthened by incense, finally ascends to heaven in disgust. After all, here he is very relaxed, as the cloud he lies on is made of the purest incense.

The last page of the book indicates that incense, like hashish, contains tetrahydrocannabinol .

Image and text analysis

Caricatured in the book: Da Vinci's Last Supper
Karl Lagerfeld, in the book a tailor with "stupid glasses"

The life of Jesus is dedicated to the alleged life of Jesus as part of a picture story. There are few text passages accompanying the images. The book is unpaginated and has 40 pages with 41 illustrations. The cover shows a relaxed, smiling and strongly shining Jesus who shows the peace sign and holds his robe open with his left hand so that the left breast is visible.

Haderer humorously deals with several episodes from the life of Christ that can be found in the New Testament . In analogy to the New Testament, the Upper Austrian News also wrote of the "New Book of Haderer". In addition to two miracles of healing (daughter of the rich man, blind tailor), the walk across the Sea of ​​Galilee (actually one of the miracles of life), the miraculous multiplication of fish (feeding the 5000), the change from water to wine (cf. Wedding at Cana ), the Lord's Supper Jesus and finally Christ's ascension. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ and thus one of the central messages of Christianity were excluded .

Haderer treated the Jesus topic "in the spirit of Monty Python ", so profil . The Tagesspiegel saw in the title of the book an allusion to the Monty Python film The Life of Brian . According to Haderer, the focus of the story and the aim of his criticism is not on the figure of Jesus, but on the disciples who are greedy for profit. According to Haderer, the main question that emerges from the book is "How far is the real church from its base?"

One aspect that permeates the book is the effect of incense on the figure of Jesus, which is explained on the last page of the book with the intoxicating agent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The thesis that THC is contained in incense goes back to Dieter Martinetz ', Karlheinz Lohs' and Jörg Janzens book Weihrauch und Myrrhe , published in 1988 . The scientists proposed that the combination of olivetol (5-pentylresorcinol) and verbenol could produce THC when burned. A proof of the thesis is pending despite numerous investigations.

The Upper Austrian News found that apart from the boldness of the story - including the portrayal of Jesus as a smoking hippie - one was amazed at the "virtuoso drawing art" of Haderer, the numerous "cross-references from art history" and the "quotes ... from local politics & Religious scene ”, with which“ the abysses of human greed ”are exposed. In the depiction of the Last Supper, Haderer caricatures Leonardo da Vinci's work The Last Supper . The sequence of three pictures for the fish miracle resembles an "altar-picture-like triptych". Many of the drawings are additionally overdrawn by modern everyday objects such as parasols, rubber ducks and litter-park signs. In addition, various figures in the drawings show similarities with well-known personalities: The blind tailor with the "stupid glasses" is Karl Lagerfeld . The first disciple at Jesus' side is similar to the then Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel . In addition to Jesus, there are also John Lennon , Jimi Hendrix , Bob Marley , Brian Jones and Janis Joplin in heaven, artists who died prematurely and an unnatural death.

The drawings are accompanied by a text in the form of a story. Linguistically, Haderer uses a mixture of formulations in the style of the biblical and legendary language, everyday jargon and verbal horniness.

publication

Palais Trauttmansdorff in Vienna, place of the book presentation

On February 25, 2002, profil was the first magazine to print some of the drawings with accompanying text in advance. The pre-publication caused hardly any discussion in church circles, among other things because the Catholic Church of Upper Austria did not want to issue an official statement until the book was published. Christoph No one , professor of the New Testament at the Catholic-Theological Private University in Linz, found that "the portrayal of Haderer is not insanely profound and also not provocative in the theological sense, it rather remains on the surface with its funny, weird image of Jesus". He also pointed out that "it should not be a problem for Christians, even if the non-church side creates images of Jesus that consciously alienate".

The official book presentation of the Ueberreuter publishing house took place on March 7, 2002 in the presence of Haderer in the Palais Trauttmansdorff in Vienna . Robert Menasse acted as laudator . The book was deliberately published shortly before Easter and was advertised accordingly by the publisher. Shortly after it was published in Austria, The Life of Jesus was also published in Germany; the book presentation took place in Munich .

The book was published in two special editions for the 2002 Christmas season. A full linen version in a slipcase with gold embossing and caricature in offset printing (1000 copies) and a luxury edition in burgundy goatskin with a signed and numbered caricature in art silk-screen printing (120 copies) were published. The enclosed caricature was a new drawing by Haderer with the title Cardinal Christoph Schönborn sniffing at the incense kettle .

reception

Domestic reactions

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, a critic of the book

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn , Archbishop of Vienna, sharply criticized The Life of Jesus in a guest commentary in the press on March 16, 2002 and published the comment again shortly afterwards in the tabloid Kronen Zeitung . He called the book a “mockery” and a biography in which “everything was made ridiculous in the most primitive way”, and asked Haderer to apologize to the believing fellow citizens. Haderer described the criticism on the same day as a " storm in a water glass " and made it clear that his criticism in the book was primarily aimed at church superiors, but not the figure of Jesus of Nazareth. In addition, he published a caricature in profil in which he wrote a hundred times as a schoolboy with a punitive task on the board that he “shouldn't be kidding Bishop Schönborn”.

Schönborn's criticism met with broad media coverage. Günter Traxler stated in the Standard that, with Schönborn's comment, “a fundamentalism that is otherwise only cultivated in moderate Koran schools has triumphed over some cancerous evils in Western society, so there is freedom of art and the right to freedom of expression. “He compared Schönborn's comment to a fatwa against Haderer. The Austrian Bishops' Conference , chaired by Schönborn, criticized the book after its spring plenary meeting and saw it as an attack on the “foundations of democracy”. Green politician Eva Glawischnig criticized the statement as “wrong understanding of democracy. Fundamental rights and thus the freedom of art belong to the foundation of democracy. ”The Auxiliary Bishop of Salzburg Andreas Laun found retrospectively that the outrage over the book from the Catholic side should not have been played up, so he himself would probably have ignored the book,“ but if Cardinal Schönborn has given such a clear and courageous statement, that is good, but also enough ”. At the same time, he drew a comparison with the Nazi era and saw the drawings as a threat to public peace: “Despising religion very quickly leads to an aggressive basic attitude, the next step is then persecution. The Nazis also started like this and mocked Jesus as a 'wretch on the cross'. "

Michael Neureuter, managing director of the Catholic BibliotheksWerk , criticized the book as "questionable and offensive", while the Archbishop's Office for Education of the Archdiocese of Vienna announced a future boycott of the works of the Ueberreuter Verlag by the Catholic schools of the Archdiocese. Ex-politician Stephan Tull (SPÖ) called on the Federal Minister of Justice, Dieter Böhmdorfer , in an open letter to examine the publication under criminal law. Several private individuals filed criminal charges against Haderer for “degrading religious teachings” (Section 188 StGB ), which, however, were not pursued by the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office due to the fact that the offense was insufficient. There were also protests in bookstores that offered the book for sale.

At the end of March, Gerhard Ruiss and Nils Jensen from IG Autorinnen Authors published a statement entitled Call for an End to the Campaign against Gerhard Haderer and Ueberreuter Verlag , in which they showed their solidarity with Haderer. The Protestant superintendent of Upper Austria, Hansjörg Eichmeyer , assessed the mockery of Jesus as a normal "accompaniment to faith" that has always been part of church history. The evangelical superintendent Gertraud Knoll did not see his book as a mockery of the Jesus figure, especially since satire is not a historical-critical interpretation.

Wolfgang Schüssel, who called the caricatures in the book “Trash Drawings”

The Austrian Chancellor at the time, Wolfgang Schüssel, found that the book “exceeded clear boundaries [...]” and called the caricatures “trash drawings”. This caused a renewed controversy, so the Upper Austrian News compared the campaign against Haderer with that against Thomas Bernhard's Heldenplatz , in which politics had also interfered in 1988. In addition, Schüssel's statement had “puked up the old clichés again: the artist as a non-expert; the artist as a polluter; the artist as the producer of bad taste; the artist as the creator of blandness and banality. ”Schüssel himself was involuntarily affected by the negative reactions to the Haderer book: the boycott of Ueberreuter Verlag by the Archbishop's Office for Education affected selected works due to the lack of schoolbooks from the publisher, including Das Red, white and red globe book , for which Schüssel had made the drawings. As a result of the boycott, sales of the book skyrocketed.

Reactions abroad

In German-speaking countries

In Germany, the reaction to the book was subdued, which the spokesman for the Archdiocese of Cologne Manfred Becker-Huberti attributed to the fact that there had already been numerous similar scandals in Germany. The Catholic German Bishops' Conference declined to comment in order not to draw even more attention to the book. Only a report by the ARD program Report from Munich caused irritation. In the show, Markus Rosch Haderer , who works for Bayerischer Rundfunk , accused the book of mocking not only Christ, but also the disabled. The daily newspaper then wrote that Rosch had managed to "beat the Austrian cries of Christians with a particularly greasy German variant."

On the other hand, the Austrian engagement with the book was received more strongly, wrote the Rheinische Post : “Haderer drew and wrote a more or less humorous fairy tale book rather than a heretical work. But the Catholic Church in the Alpine republic, which has been on a fundamentalist course for years, has no understanding for this kind of artistic freedom. "" With holy earnestness and in increasingly bizarre dimensions [...] there is a dispute about whether Haderer is even allowed, an unauthorized biography of the Lord ”, wrote Die Tageszeitung , while the Frankfurter Rundschau stated that in Austria a“ tangible 'scandal' ”was once again being made out of a triviality. From the beginning of April, the disputes were also received in short articles in Switzerland.

In the Czech Republic

In the Czech Republic, The Life of Jesus was published under the title Život Ježíše by the Fragment publishing house. In January 2004, Jiří Karas , a member of the Křesťanská a democická unie - Československá strana lidová (Christian Democratic People's Party, KDU-CSL), and 15 other people filed charges against the publisher for mocking Christian symbols. At the beginning of March 2004 the ad was rejected because the work was admissible satire.

In Greece

The life of Jesus was published in Greece by Ekdoseis Oxy under the title Η ζωή του Ιησού . On February 25, 2003, the book was confiscated by police, removed from bookstores and banned by the Athens Public Prosecutor. It was the first such case in Greece since a book by the Marquis de Sade was confiscated in 1981. This was preceded by violent reactions to the book, especially in tabloids, which had requested a legal battle. Newspapers such as Eleftherotypia and Kathimerini criticized the fact that the court had given in to the pressure of the tabloids and invoked freedom of speech and art. The Synod of the Church of Greece supported the ban on the book, while 20 publishers wanted to have the confiscation of the book examined by a court.

Proceedings for insulting religion were initiated against the publisher of Oxy, the translator of the book, several booksellers and Gerhard Haderer, which was opened on December 18, 2003 and initially postponed to the beginning of March 2004. It was not until January 19, 2005 that the fourth three-judge criminal court in Athens gave its verdict: While the publisher, translator and four booksellers were acquitted, Haderer was imprisoned for six months or alternatively a fine of six months in his absence for violating public decency Fined 1600 euros. The verdict caused outrage and great solidarity with Haderer. A letter of protest against the attack on freedom of art, entitled Freedom for Art, Freedom for Haderer , was signed by 138 cartoonists, illustrators, publishers and authors worldwide. The number of signatories grew to over 1000 by the end of March. The signatories included Rudi Klein , Michael Pammesberger , Til Mette , Olav Westphalen , Elfriede Jelinek , Marlene Streeruwitz , Erwin Steinhauer , Josef Hader and Peter Turrini . The OSCE Media Representative Miklós Haraszti criticized Haderer's condemnation, which was “incompatible with the principles of the freedom of the press of the OSCE”; the South East Europe Media Organization called for the judgment to be set aside. The Austrian MEP Maria Berger introduced a resolution in the European Parliament on the Haderer case at the beginning of April.

In the run-up to the appeal hearing, the Athens Association of Journalists expressed its solidarity with Haderer and demanded his acquittal. Greek media described the first instance judgment as a disgrace for their country. In the appeal hearing on April 13, 2005, Haderer was acquitted and the confiscation of the book was lifted. Doris Knecht , like other media representatives and Member of the Green Party, Karl Öllinger , criticized the Austrian government and Chancellor Schüssel for keeping a low profile during the proceedings and not giving a statement. This is all the more incomprehensible, since Schüssel had actively contributed to the book review beforehand and thus sided with the Church. Knecht summarized: “The fact that the church can rely on the protection and support of the Austrian state, but not a cheeky Austrian artist abroad, no longer surprises anyone. But it's a little scary. "

The Haderer case was of particular importance in connection with the then new EU arrest warrant ; he was the first artist against whom such an arrest warrant could theoretically have been enforced in the event of a second instance conviction. This also caused a stir internationally. In Germany, where at the time of Haderer's revision hearing, the legality of the EU arrest warrant was just being ruled (the law was declared unconstitutional and null and void on July 18, 2005 and was only re-enacted in 2006), Haderer's hearing was considered a "spectacular F [ a] ll ... "and as an example why the German state is trying to" protect the Germans better than before from access from EU countries ". Even if convicted, Haderer would not have had to be extradited to Greece, as it was a minor offense and in Austria there was a transition period until 2009 during which an EU arrest warrant was not executed.

Sales figures

Although the publisher had expected good sales figures for the book - 40,000 copies of Haderer's first and up to then only comic Jörgi, the dragon slayer had been sold - but the initial reactions to the book had been restrained. The book was featured on the cover of the publisher's spring prospectus as the lead story, but it did not cause any reactions. The reactions to the preprint in profil were also low. Individual booksellers reported that the inventory had partially decreased to the publisher due to a lack of demand. It was only Schönborn's criticism that caused a sharp rise in sales. At the end of March 2002 the first edition of 50,000 copies was already out of print, so that 15,000 copies were reprinted. The fourth edition was published at the end of April, and between 80,000 and 100,000 copies of the book had been sold. In addition, license agreements were negotiated with around 20 countries. The book eventually appeared in South Korea, France, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Greece, among others.

On the Austrian bestseller list for 2002, The Life of Jesus was ranked 7th in the non-fiction category.

Exhibitions

From April 20 to June 2, 2002, an exhibition on the book The Life of Jesus was on view in the Caricatura Gallery of Comical Art in the Kassel culture station . Due to a bomb threat, the opening took place under special protection. As part of the 3rd Black Humor Festival in Linz, the organizers dedicated themselves to the book scandal on May 11, 2002 with a Haderer homage. From December 1, 2002 to January 29, 2003, the Wilhelm Busch Museum in Hanover showed the life of Jesus under the title . Gerhard Haderer also made the drawings in the book.

From March 28th to November 7th, 2004 the Caricature Museum Krems Haderer devoted a retrospective entitled Absolut Haderer . The exhibition also featured originals from The Life of Jesus, as well as sketches and preliminary studies for the book.
