In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • Research Opportunities in Munich Yvonne Shafer
    FALL 1991 235 Research Opportunities in Munich Yvonne Shafer Munich is both a theatrical city and a city with a great deal of theatre. Throughout the city are interesting theatre buildings, important theatre collections, museums with theatrical material, and statues relating to theatre. The theatres, their archives, and theatre collections are accessible and public transportation in Munich is excellent. Theatre ranges from puppet shows to the classics-indeed, one can see Faust performed as a puppet show as Goethe first intended it. In the handsome theatre lobbies, there is an air of excitement and sophistication as the theatre-goers drink champagne and discuss the performances. The audiences are very responsive: they laugh a great deal in plays received very earnestly in America, applaud thunderously when a play is good, and boo long and loud when they do not care for a production. In order to give a picture of theatre research opportunities various types of productions will be described, followed by a discussion of the theatre museums and several of the famous theatres in the city. In May 1991 there were several dozen plays, ballets, operas and other theatrical performances from which to choose. There are major subsidized theatres and opera houses, small commercial theatres, theatres for children, and experimental groups. A range of plays available on a given night included Entertaining Mr. Sloane, The Threepenny Opera, Cooney and Chapman's Not Now, Darling, Durrenmatt's The Accident, and Jesus Christ Superstar. There were performances of a British science-fiction comedy presented by the Action Theatre London (in English) called Black Magic-Blue Love, a Psychothriller Murder Voices, and an evening of song and acting in the OFF-OFF-Theater Club.

  • The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals In
    Writing in Red: The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 Thomas William Goldstein A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Karen Hagemann Lloyd Kramer ©2010 Thomas William Goldstein ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Thomas William Goldstein Writing in Red The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) Since its creation in 1950 as a subsidiary of the Cultural League, the East German Writers Union embodied a fundamental tension, one that was never resolved during the course of its forty-year existence. The union served two masters – the state and its members – and as such, often found it difficult fulfilling the expectations of both. In this way, the union was an expression of a basic contradiction in the relationship between writers and the state: the ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) demanded ideological compliance, yet these writers also claimed to be critical, engaged intellectuals. This dissertation examines how literary intellectuals and SED cultural officials contested and debated the differing and sometimes contradictory functions of the Writers Union and how each utilized it to shape relationships and identities within the literary community and beyond it. The union was a crucial site for constructing a group image for writers, both in terms of external characteristics (values and goals for participation in wider society) and internal characteristics (norms and acceptable behavioral patterns guiding interactions with other union members).

  • Melanie Klein's Concept of Counter-Transference Taken From
    7 Melanie Klein’s Concept of Counter-Transference Taken from Unpublished Material Esmeralda Macedo, Carlos Amaral Dias In this essay we discuss the concept of counter-transference based on some of Melanie Klein’s unpublished notes from the archives in the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, in London. Hence, the discussion here incorporates material that has never been published be- fore1. Until 1950 the most commonly accepted conception of counter- -transference was that of Freud, who saw it as an obstacle that should be removed. When Paula Heimann’s ideas became widely known this mechanism started to be seen as an important aid to understanding the patient. Klein always rejected that perspective and remained close to Freud’s ideas. In the 1960s, the works of Bion and Money-Kyrle show that, along with the concept of projective identification, counter-transfe- rence was a valuable tool for understanding the patient in both its patho- logical and benign forms. What we show in this article is that in spite of not having conceptualized her ideas about the subject, Klein’s approach to it was very much in accordance with those authors with respect to the vicissitudes of the therapeutic relationship. 1 Researched by Emeralda Macedo for her PhD thesis prepared under the supervision of Professor Carlos Amaral Dias and Professor Rui Aragão Oliveira (Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada/Universidade Nova de Lisboa, February 2007). Interações número 19. pp. 7-21. © do Autor 2010 8 Interações SOME PERSPECTIVES OF COUNTER-TRANSFERENCE One of the most important conceptions of counter-transference was Paula Heimann’s formulation, published in 1950.
