This volume presents a cross-section of current Brecht studies, reflecting a variety of approaches and perspectives ranging from detailed exegesis of particular texts to cultural criticism in the broadest sense. It provides analyses of Brecht's work and investigates his pervasive influence in 20th century literature. The studies collected here cover the whole of Brecht’s career, from the early one-acter Kleinbürgerhochzeit of 1919 to the Sinn und Form years immediately preceding his death, as well as his use of tradition and his legacy. By way of redressing a tendency in Brecht reception to regard him mainly as a dramatist, the volume covers novels, poetry, film, photography, journalism and theory as well as plays.

A comprehensive re-examination of Brechtian film theory. Making a compelling argument for the continuing relevance of Brechtian film theory and cinema, this book offers new research and analysis of Brecht the film and media theorist, placing his scattered writings on the subject within the lively film theory debates that took place in Europe between the 1920s-1960s. Furthermore, Angelos Koutsourakis identifies key points of convergence between Brecht's 'unfinished project' and contemporary film and media theory. With case studies of films ranging from Robert Roberto Rossellini's "Paisà! to Bernardo Bertolucci's "1900" and Joshua Oppenheimer's "The Act of Killing" amongst others, this study challenges many existing preconceptions about Brecht's theoretical position and invites readers to discover new ways of apprehending and making use of Brecht in film studies.

The main objective of this study is to point out, describe and analyse the ways of transposing the Brechtian theatre assumptions in O render dosheroes, by José Cardoso Pires, and Luckily there is moonlight! de Luís de Sttau Monteiro and show the relationship of these pieces with the period before the Revolution of April 25, specifically in the 1960s, marked by the processes of application of censorship. The Brechtian matrix in The Render of Heroes and in Happily There is Moonlight !, in addition to being the aesthetic responsible for an attempt to innovate the dramatic forms practiced in Portugal, it also confirms the concern of the authors with the expression of a critical position before reality, with the direction of dramaturgy and the role of the playwright in his time and place.
