Sophocles' Antigone Reworked in the Twentieth
NEW VOICES IN CLASSICAL RECEPTION STUDIES Issue 12 (2018) SOPHOCLES’ ANTIGONE REWORKED IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY: THE CASE OF HASENCLEVER’S ANTIGONE (1917) © Rossana Zetti (University of Edinburgh) INTRODUCTION AND CONTEXTUALIZATION This article examines a little-known example of Antigone’s reception in the twentieth century: the adaptation by the German expressionist writer Walter Hasenclever. This version is the first and arguably most innovative of several European adaptations of Sophocles’ play to appear in the first half of the twentieth century. Although successful at the time of its production, Hasenclever’s Antigone is scarcely read in contemporary scholarship and is discussed mainly in German-language scholarship.1 Whereas Flashar’s wide-ranging study, in German, refers to Hasenclever’s drama (Flashar 2009: 127– 29), in Fischer-Lichte’s 2017 book Tragedy’s Endurance, in English, Hasenclever appears only in one endnote (Fischer-Lichte 2017: 143). The only English translation of the play available (Ritchie and Stowell 1969: 113–60) is rather out of date and inaccessible. Hasenclever’s Antigone is briefly mentioned in Steiner’s essential reference book Antigones (Steiner 1984: 142; 146; 170; 218), in the chapter on Antigone in the recent Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Sophocles (Silva 2017: 406–7) and in Cairns’ 2016 book on Sophocles’ Antigone (Cairns 2016: 133). However, it is absent in some of the most recent contributions dedicated to the play’s modern reception, including Wilmer’s and Žukauskaitė’s edited collection on Antigone in postmodern thought (2010), Mee’s and Foley’s essays (2011) discussing adaptations of Antigone staged around the world, and Morais’, Hardwick’s and Silva’s recent volume (2017).2 The absence of Hasenclever from contemporary scholarship can be explained by the fact that his Antigone lacks the complexity of later adaptations, such as Anouilh’s and Brecht’s. -
Cinematic Vitalism Film Theory and the Question of Life
INGA POLLMANN INGA FILM THEORY FILM THEORY IN MEDIA HISTORY IN MEDIA HISTORY CINEMATIC VITALISM FILM THEORY AND THE QUESTION OF LIFE INGA POLLMANN CINEMATIC VITALISM Cinematic Vitalism: Film Theory and the INGA POLLMANN is Assistant Professor Question of Life argues that there are in Film Studies in the Department of Ger- constitutive links between early twen- manic and Slavic Languages and Litera- tieth-century German and French film tures at the University of North Carolina theory and practice, on the one hand, at Chapel Hill. and vitalist conceptions of life in biology and philosophy, on the other. By consi- dering classical film-theoretical texts and their filmic objects in the light of vitalist ideas percolating in scientific and philosophical texts of the time, Cine- matic Vitalism reveals the formation of a modernist, experimental and cinema- tic strand of vitalism in and around the movie theater. The book focuses on the key concepts rhythm, environment, mood, and development to show how the cinematic vitalism articulated by film theorists and filmmakers maps out connections among human beings, mi- lieus, and technologies that continue to structure our understanding of film.

In the Realm of Politics, Nonsense, and the Absurd: the Myth of Antigone in West and South Slavic Drama in the Mid-Twentieth Century
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4312/keria.20.3.95-108 Alenka Jensterle-Doležal In the Realm of Politics, Nonsense, and the Absurd: The Myth of Antigone in West and South Slavic Drama in the Mid-Twentieth Century Throughout history humans have always felt the need to create myths and legends to explain and interpret human existence. One of the classical mythi- cal figures is ancient Antigone in her torment over whether to obey human or divine law. This myth is one of the most influential myths in European literary history. In the creation of literature based on this myth there have always been different methods and styles of interpretation. Literary scholars always emphasised its philosophical and anthropological dimensions.1 The first variants of the myth of Antigone are of ancient origin: the playAntigone by Sophocles (written around 441 BC) was a model for others throughout cultural and literary history.2 There are various approaches to the play, but the well-established central theme deals with one question: the heroine Antigone is deeply convinced that she has the right to reject society’s infringement on her freedom and to act, to recognise her familial duty, and not to leave her brother’s body unburied on the battlefield. She has a personal obligation: she must bury her brother Polyneikes against the law of Creon, who represents the state. In Sophocles’ play it is Antigone’s stubbornness transmitted into action 1 Cf. also: Simone Fraisse, Le mythe d’Antigone (Paris: A.

THE CREATION of EXPRESSIONISM: KURT PINTHUS the GLANEUR and MENSCHHEITSDÄMMERUNG by GIOVANNI ANGELO DOVERI B.A., Portland State University, 2015
THE CREATION OF EXPRESSIONISM: KURT PINTHUS THE GLANEUR AND MENSCHHEITSDÄMMERUNG by GIOVANNI ANGELO DOVERI B.A., Portland State University, 2015 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures 2017 ii This thesis entitled: The Creation of Expressionism: Kurt Pinthus the Glaneur and Menschheitsdämmerung written by Giovanni Angelo Doveri has been approved for the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures (Dr Arne Höcker, Chair) (Dr Lauren Stone) (Dr Davide Stimilli) Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. iii Doveri, Giovanni Angelo (M.A., German Studies) The Creation of Expressionism: Kurt Pinthus the Glaneur and Menschheitsdämmerung Thesis directed by Assistant Professor Arne Höcker ABSTRACT Kurt Pinthus’ 1919 anthology, Menschheitsdämmerung: Symphonie jüngster Dichtung, was a foundational turning point in the creation of Expressionism. The collection pushed the boundaries of the genre of the anthology into an aesthetic dimension, by which Pinthus straddles the role of both artist and literary critic. The first part of the thesis will situate lyrical Expressionism both in the philosophic traditions, which it inherits, and with the overall project of Modernism. Secondly, Menschheitsdämmerung acts as a metapoem of Expressionism. It is the figure of the Glaneur, who straddles the position between art and literary criticism to produce a literary epoch through a metapoem. -

Liepukhova Docent of German language Department Nizhyn Mykola Gogol State University ’We went to the west to return to the east’, or Ukrainian translators abroad The establishment of the Ukrainian state, Ukraine’s relations with other countries, interaction between the Ukrainian culture and other cultures are impossible without translation. Translation acts as a connecting link between languages and cultures, unites peoples, contributes to their mutual understanding, cooperation and mutual enrichment with spiritual values and traditions. During hard times for the Ukrainian state, when its best representatives had to leave their homes and go abroad, the Ukrainian diaspora became a lifeboat for the Ukrainian people and culture. The representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora (poets, writers, literary scholars, critics, etc.) not just published their works abroad but were actively involved in translation practice, translated into Ukrainian, introducing the Ukrainian reader to the best achievements of the world literature, as well as promoted their own literature and culture abroad, translating from the Ukrainian language. The article outlines the major milestones of the life and work of the famous translators, belonging to the Ukrainian diaspora, such as Yurii Klen, Mykhailo Orest, Ihor Kostetsky, Igor Kaczurowskyj, Anna-Halja Horbatsch, Sviatoslav Hordynsky, Yurii Lucky, Oleh Zuievsky, Vira Vovk. Key words: Ukrainian diaspora, translation, Ukrainian translators, Ukrainian publications abroad. Migration processes were always an integral part of the evolution of human civilization. Looking at the migration processes of tribes, peoples, ethnic groups, particular personalities through the lens of history, one can speak about the objective reasons caused by certain crisis phenomena (political, religious, social, economic, etc.) in the development of national formation. -
