Kendisi öyle olduğunu reddetse de oyunlarında kimliğin ve hafızanın önemi, gerçek ve görünen arasındaki ilişki, hayatın sıkıntıları, kendinden ve kendinden önceki yazarlardan esinlenme ve ödünç alma gibi postmodern ve absürd tiyatronun tipik özelliklerini görmek mümkündür. İlk defa 1968 yılında sergilenen Gerçek Müfettiş Hound (The Real Inspector Hound) oyunu Agatha Christie’nin 1952 yapımı Fare Kapanı (The Mousetrap) oyununun bir parodisiyken Akrobatlar (Jumpers) akademik felsefenin satirik bir eleştirisidir. Stoppard, bu makalede incelenen Gerçek Müfettiş Hound ve Akrobatlar adlı oyunlarında kurgusunu oyunlarının başında yarattığı bir gizem üzerine inşa eder. Bu gizem Gerçek Müfettiş Hound’da sahneye diğer aktörlerce fark edilmeyen bir ceset koyarak gerçekleştirilirken Akrobatlar’ın en başında akrobatlardan birinin öldürülmesi ve kimin öldürdüğünün de oyun boyunca söylenmemesiyle sağlanır.

It was the victory of liberalism and the constitutional state, a victory which had immediate and phenomenal demographic and social consequences. In 1857, Vienna had a total population of 287,824, of which 6,217 (2.16 per cent) were Jews.

  • Jewish Communities of Leopoldstadt and Alsergrund
    THE VIENNA PROJECT: JEWISH COMMUNITIES OF LEOPOLDSTADT AND ALSERGRUND Site 1A: Introduction to Jewish Life in Leopoldstadt Leopoldstadt, 1020 The history of Jews in Austria is one of repeated exile (der Vertreibene) and return. In 1624, after years and years of being forbidden from living in Vienna, Emperor Ferdinand III decided that Jewish people could return to Vienna but would only be allowed to live in one area outside of central Vienna. That area was called “Unterer Werd” and later became the district of Leopoldstadt. In 1783, Joseph II’s “Toleranzpatent” eased a lot of the restrictions that kept Jews from holding certain jobs or owning homes in areas outside of Leopoldstadt. As a result, life in Vienna became much more open and pleasant for Jewish people, and many more Jewish immigrants began moving to Vienna. Leopoldstadt remained the cultural center of Jewish life, and was nicknamed “Mazzeinsel” after the traditional Jewish matzo bread. Jews made up 40% of the people living in the 2nd district, and about 29% of the city’s Jewish population lived there. A lot of Jewish businesses were located in Leopoldstadt, as well as many of the city’s synagogues and temples. Tens of thousands of Galician Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe made their home there, and brought many of their traditions (such as Yiddish literature) with them. Questions to Consider Look up the history of Jewish eXile and return in Vienna. How many times were they sent away from the city, and why did the city let them return? What were some of the restrictions on Jewish life in Vienna before the “Toleranzpatent” in 1783? What further rights did Jewish people gain in 1860? How did this affect Jewish life and culture in Vienna in the late 1800s and early 1900s? Describe the culture of Leopoldstadt before 1938.

  • Hyperreality in Tom Stoppard's the Real Inspector Hound Nasrin Nezamdoost Department of English Language, Karaj Branch, Islamic Azad University, Karaj, Iran
    Hyperreality in Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound Nasrin Nezamdoost Department of English Language, Karaj Branch, Islamic Azad University, Karaj, Iran. [email protected] and Fazel Asadi Amjad Department of Foreign Languages, Tarbiat Moallem University, Tehran, Iran. Reality has been one of man's major concerns in different ages. Finding the actual reality becomes more intense in postmodern era due to the fact that most of realities are only considered as ''social constructs'' and they are subject to change (Tiedemann 62). Besides, as Hicks states, there is no ''absolute truth'' in this era (18). In other words, postmodernism lacks the ability to provide exact and meaningful statements about an "independently existing reality'' and replaces only a ''social-linguistic, constructionist account of reality'' (Hicks 6). Therefore, as Hoover holds, it renders ''plurality'' and multiplicity instead of individualism (xxvii). Post-structuralism which ''parallels'' with postmodernism (Abrams 169), presents this plurality, Sarup mentions, by referring to the ''floating signifier system'' (3), in which the signifiers and the signifieds are not "fixed" entities, and each "signifier" may refer to several signifieds (Roman 309). Postmodern era is bombarded with representation or re-imaging and distortions of reality, simulation and hyperreality which cast doubt, raise uncertainty about the real's validity, and make reality be masked and hidden. Tom Stoppard is an outstanding British playwright whose mind is occupied by investigating reality (Mackean 1) as the word 'real' in titles and themes of his plays suggest, but he tries to hide the truth in his plays and persuade his audiences that it is not a theater and; thus, fills their minds with ''convincing illusions'' (Jenkins x).

  • David Hare's the Blue Room and Stanley
    Schnitzler as a Space of Central European Cultural Identity: David Hare’s The Blue Room and Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut SUSAN INGRAM e status of Arthur Schnitzler’s works as representative of fin de siècle Vien- nese culture was already firmly established in the author’s own lifetime, as the tributes written in on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday demonstrate. Addressing Schnitzler directly, Hermann Bahr wrote: “As no other among us, your graceful touch captured the last fascination of the waning of Vi- enna, you were the doctor at its deathbed, you loved it more than anyone else among us because you already knew there was no more hope” (); Egon Friedell opined that Schnitzler had “created a kind of topography of the constitution of the Viennese soul around , on which one will later be able to more reliably, more precisely and more richly orient oneself than on the most obese cultural historian” (); and Stefan Zweig noted that: [T]he unforgettable characters, whom he created and whom one still could see daily on the streets, in the theaters, and in the salons of Vienna on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday, even yesterday… have suddenly disappeared, have changed. … Everything that once was this turn-of-the-century Vienna, this Austria before its collapse, will at one point… only be properly seen through Arthur Schnitzler, will only be called by their proper name by drawing on his works. () With the passing of time, the scope of Schnitzler’s representativeness has broadened. In his introduction to the new English translation of Schnitzler’s Dream Story (), Frederic Raphael sees Schnitzler not only as a Viennese writer; rather “Schnitzler belongs inextricably to mittel-Europa” (xii).
