Die Premieren Von August Bis Februar*
fotografiert von Ute Mahler und Werner Mahler Die Premieren von August bis Februar* 2014/15 * with English summaries Die Zeit There ist aus den is no Fugen Carolin Emcke und Thomas Ostermeier im Gespräch Wie lässt sich von Krieg und Gewalt erzählen? Gibt es dabei Grenzen des Verstehens? Ist es nicht nur möglich, sondern auch nötig, vom Leid anderer zu erzählen? Diesen Fragen geht Carolin Emcke in ihrem neuesten Buch »Weil es sagbar ist. Über Zeugenschaft und Gerechtigkeit« nach. Ihre Essays sind der Ausgangspunkt für ein Gespräch mit dem Künstlerischen Leiter der Schaubühne, Thomas need Ostermeier, über den Einbruch der Wirklichkeit in die Fiktion, blinde Flecken in Theater und Journa- lismus, tabuisierte gesellschaftliche Konflikte und die Möglichkeit, die Welt erzählend zu verändern. Carolin Emcke ist freie Publizistin und als Reporterin häufig in Krisengebieten unterwegs. Ihre jour- nalistische Arbeit wurde mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet. Seit 2004 kuratiert und moderiert sie die monatliche Diskussionsreihe »Streitraum« an der Schaubühne. TO: Bei der Lektüre deines letzten Buches »Weil es am Ende des Stücks mit dem Gift umbringen, an dem bereits sagbar ist«, kamen mir drei Assoziationen in den Sinn. Die Hamlet und seine Mutter und alle anderen gestorben sind. Da erste war das Stück »Zerbombt«. Darin zeigt Sarah Kane eine sagt Hamlet voller Verzweiflung: Du darfst dich nicht umbringen.

From within the fields of theater and performance studies, “The Ambivalence of Resistance: West German Antiauthoritarian Performance after the Age of Affluence” approaches this question historically. It surveys the types of performance that decolonization and New Left movements in 1960s West Germany used to engage reconfigurations in the global labor process and the emergence of anti-imperialist struggles internationally, from documentary drama and happenings to direct action tactics like street blockades and building occupations. -

European Modernism and the Resident Theatre Movement: The Transformation of American Theatre between 1950 and 1970 Sarah Guthu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Thomas E Postlewait, Chair Sarah Bryant-Bertail Stefka G Mihaylova Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Drama © Copyright 2013 Sarah Guthu University of Washington Abstract European Modernism and the Resident Theatre Movement: The Transformation of American Theatre between 1950 and 1970 Sarah Guthu Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Thomas E Postlewait School of Drama This dissertation offers a cultural history of the arrival of the second wave of European modernist drama in America in the postwar period, 1950-1970. European modernist drama developed in two qualitatively distinct stages, and these two stages subsequently arrived in the United States in two distinct waves. The first stage of European modernist drama, characterized predominantly by the genres of naturalism and realism, emerged in Europe during the four decades from the 1890s to the 1920s. This first wave of European modernism reached the United States in the late 1910s and throughout the 1920s, coming to prominence through productions in New York City. The second stage of European modernism dates from 1930 through the 1960s and is characterized predominantly by the absurdist and epic genres. Unlike the first wave, the dramas of the second wave of European modernism were not first produced in New York. Instead, these plays were often given their premieres in smaller cities across the United States: San Francisco, Seattle, Cleveland, Hartford, Boston, and New Haven, in the regional theatres which were rapidly proliferating across the United States. -

Witold Gombrowicz Diary of a Playwright
The Polish Review, Vol. 60, No. 2, 2015 © The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois Allen J. Kuharski Witold Gombrowicz Diary of a Playwright I am a saint. Yes, I am a saint . and an ascetic. —Witold Gombrowicz, Diary (1967)1 The state of [Witold Gombrowicz’s] oeuvre in 1989 was still imbalanced: in his own words, a “half- cooked steak.” Gombrowicz was certainly known, and above all as a playwright. His plays were staged in the larg- est theaters in Europe. Nevertheless, in most countries (excluding France, Germany, and the Netherlands) only a small part of his work was known, and the most overlooked and poorly- handled text was his Diary. —Rita Gombrowicz, Introduction to Kronos2 Gombrowicz Contra Theater Witold Gombrowicz’s Diary does not fulfill any of the obvious expectations of such a work by a major playwright. Gombrowicz never attended the performance of his works or collaborated in any way with producers, directors, actors, designers, or composers. As a result, there is a complete dearth of theatrical anecdote in the text, though he expresses profound vindication at the positive critical response in Paris and Stockholm to Ivona, Princess of Burgundia. References to other contem- porary playwrights such as Beckett, Brecht, or Weiss are fleeting and superficial. This is a revised version of an article published in Norwegian as “En dramatikers dagbok,” in Witold Gombrowicz: Dagboken 1959–1969 (Oslo: Flamme, Oslo, 2013), ix–xxxii; translated by Ina Vassbotn Steinman. 1.

Space and Gender in Post-War German Film
The Misogyny of the Trümmerfilm - Space and Gender in Post-War German film A thesis submitted to the University of Reading For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Modern Languages and European Studies Richard M. McKenzie January 2017 1 | Page Acknowledgements I would like to express my thanks to my supervisors Dr Ute Wölfel and Prof. John Sandford for their support, guidance and supervision whilst my thesis was developing and being written. It has been a pleasure to discuss the complexities of the Trümmerfilm with you both over multiple coffees during the last few years. I am also grateful for the financial support provided by the Reading University Modern Foreign Languages Department at the beginning of my PhD study. My thanks must also go to Kathryn, Sophie and Isabelle McKenzie, with my parents and sister, for their forbearance whilst I concentrated on my thesis. In addition to my supervisors and family, I would like to record my thanks to my friends; Prof. Paul Francis, Dr Peter Lowman, Dr Daniela La Penna, Dr Simon Mortimer, Dr J.L. Moys and D.M. Pursglove for their vital encouragement at different points over the last few years. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the debt that I owe to two people. Firstly, Herr Wilfred Muscheid of the Frankfurt International School who introduced me to the intricacies of the German language ultimately making my PhD study possible. Secondly, I would like to acknowledge the influence of the late Prof. Lindsey Hughes, lecturer in the former Reading University Russian Department, who, with her departmental colleagues, taught me many of the basic academic tools and determination that I have needed to complete my PhD.
