    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 The only English translation of the play available (Ritchie and Stowell 1969: 113–60) is rather out of date and inaccessible.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.

Doctor of Education (College Teaching of Theatre), December, 1982, 191 pp., bibliography, 184 titles. This study explored the relationship between the dramatic and the educational theories developed by Bertolt Brecht and selected twentieth-century theories of pedagogy. A survey of Brecht's life and works revealed that although the stimulus-response theories of the associationist psy- chologists were inappropriate to Brecht's concepts, the three principal aspects of Gestaltism—perception, insight, and life space, as formulated by Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Lewin—seemed profoundly related to Brecht's concern with man's ability to perceive and to learn about his environment. Brecht strove to create perceptual images of historical environments. The characters, who represented various ideologies and philosophies in situations which stimulated insightful learning, struggled with life spaces that accu- rately resembled life outside the theatre. Thus, Brecht utilized elements of the theories of perception, insight, and life space in his dramas as he strove to force his audiences to perceive the characters' environments, to grasp the significance and relationships between the characters' environments and their own social milieu, and to recognize those influences in one's life space which attract or repel the individual.

TITLE: Christopher Marlowe and His Use of the Morality Tradition • AUTHOR: Patricia Derners, B. A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor R. W. Vince- NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 120 i~ ABSTRACT By fo.clising on Marlowe's borrowings from. the tradition of the m.orality play, the study endeavour s to form. a picture of this playwright as neither a teacher nor an iconoclast, but as a continuer of a debate. The debate involves the m.orality form. of his dram.as and their non-m.orality content. It rem.ains unresolved as an indication of Marlowe's own irresolution. Tam.burlaine dram.atizes· the debate between accepting or rejecting a'world conqueror; The Jew of Malta vacillates between pitying andcondem.ning its villain-hero, Barabas;. Edward the Second has the curious appeal of a study in weakness; Doctor Faustus exposes the double culpability of its rebellious scholar-hero and of the ·restricting Christian system. which Faustus discards. The study analyzes these four plays to by subm.itting this tradition to m.anipulation, perversIon, debilitation and violation, the playwright rem.ains clearly in control of the m.orality structures he uses. Two discoveries result from. an exam.ination of such control: Marlowe's artistry in being unresolved continues to be an area of fascination and his deliberate irresolution m.ilitates against calling him.

  • I on 10 May 1945, a Short Prose Text by Bertolt Brecht

    Bertolt Brecht’s Utopian Historical Optimism ‘good building’ at the End of World War II GERHARD FISCHER — I On 10 May 1945, a short prose text by Bertolt Brecht appeared in New York in the Austro- American Tribune, one of the numerous literary journals run by writers exiled from Nazi Germany to the far corners of the world. The text, entitled Der Städtebauer (‘The City Builder’), is set in a timeless and nameless no-man’s land, a stark, un-historical and un-geographical, fairy-tale like setting.1 To be sure, the date of publication leaves no doubt about the con- temporary relevance of Brecht’s parable, and its readers would have had no difficulty locating and identifying the precise historical-social background before which Brecht’s text unfolds: Germany at the end of World War II, her cities in ruins, disgraced after her fatal submission to fascism; a country defeated and devastated materially as much as emotionally and intel- lectually; a disintegrating society facing the overwhelming task of providing for the elementary survival (food and shelter) of its population as well as the rebuilding of the socio-cultural infrastructure of a democratic, civil society. At this crucial point in time, in German historical mythology often referred to as Stunde Null (Zero Hour), Brecht offers his suggestion concerning the rebuilding of Germany according to the principles of what he describes as ‘good building’. I quote the parable in full: The City Builder After they had built the city, they came together and presented to each other their houses and showed one another the work of their hands.
