Abstract

Wie liest man ein Drama? Mit welchem analytischen Instrumentarium begegnet man einem dramatischen Text? Wie setzt man die eigenen Beobachtungen am Text schriftlich um? Dieses Buch führt auf verständliche Weise in alle wichtigen Analysekategorien dramatischer Texte ein. Die Einführung gliedert sich in zwei große Teile: Im ersten werden alle bedeutsamen Beobachtungsdimensionen dramatischer Texte sowie das entsprechende analytische Instrumentarium ausführlich vorgestellt. Im zweiten Teil werden in einem historischen Durchgang die wichtigsten dramenpoetologischen Vorstellungen und Theaterkonzepte zwischen Aristoteles und der Postdramatik vorgeführt. Sowohl zu den einzelnen Analysedimensionen, also für alle Arbeitsschritte der Dramenanalyse, als auch im gattungsgeschichtlichen Durchgang werden exemplarische Analysen zu Texten der deutschsprachigen Dramenliteratur zwischen dem 17. und 20. Jahrhundert präsentiert. Damit vermittelt der Band nicht nur die Kompetenzen zum eigenständigen wissenschaftlichen Umgang mit dramatischer Literatur, sondern stellt auch die im Studium der verschiedenen Literaturwissenschaften und der Theaterwissenschaft erforderten studentischen Textsorten vor.

Abstract

In 1848 Richard Wagner began what would become the largest stage work of his career, the Ring of the Nibelung. In preparation for the task he composed an overview of the Nibelung myth designed to lead to a drama; he then composed the verse 'libretto' Siegfried's Death. Although he abandoned the idea of a single opera on Siegfried in favour the Ring cycle, he did include the two early documents in his collected works. The present volume seeks to inform the English-speaking reader in three ways: by providing modern, reliable translations of the two Wagner texts, which are otherwise not available (the German original is provided on facing pages); by furnishing an overview of German scholarship available to Wagner and others working on the Nibelung legend in the first half of the 19th century; and by making available a bibliography of further reading.

Abstract

This critical study of Samuel Beckett's plays analyzes the use of disjointed body imagery, masks, abstract monologue and experimentations in film and video. The text argues that Beckett has been responsible for a truly avant-garde departure from our concepts of the 'theatrical'.

Abstract

"All societies are, by their very nature, dramatic. They present themselves, especially for those who want to look back in time, as a fascinating and confusing whole of theatrical events and constructions. Sometimes the theatre itself succeeds in capturing that fascination and confusion. This book describes the dramatic society in the form of case studies that link politics, history and culture. The Dramatic Society uses selected plays to examine specific moments in history. Its range of subjects are extremely diverse, including Medea as an icon of terrorism, a choreography based upon Shakespeare's As You Like It, horror movies about the German unification, a truth commission dealing with "human zoos", and the reconstruction of Ai Weiwei's troubles with the tax authorities. This collection of insightful essays deals with theatrical performances - including happenings, installations and movies - of the past fifty years, with every chapter attempting to link artistic events with politics and political theory, from Hannah Arendt to Slavoj Žižek. This is a revealing assessment of the ways in which drama and politics become intertwined, offering crucial insights for scholars and students of theatre studies, performance studies, contemporary politics and cultural studies"--
