Karinthy is speaking

Frigyes Karinthy interpreted the technical-political reorganization of the 1930s as a preparation for the coming of an era more threatening to people and European culture than ever before. This is not without precedent, and in no way should it be understood as a reversal of positive, unconditional faith in technical progress and achievements, as well as in human rationality, goodness, and the ability to develop, into negativity, disillusionment, and loss of hope. As we have seen, violence belongs to his political language not as propaganda, which can be considered simply as a form of language use, but because of the inherent performative power of language. because of the mathematical foundations of the discourse, it constructs certain dimensions of culture, such as ethics. In Karinthy's case, it is not that her position regarding her technical forms had changed by the 1930s: we can rather talk about radicalization and a shift in function.
