He is a messenger from nation to nation, who mediates mutual respect and admiration, where otherwise all is indifference or even enmity.

  • A Consideration of the Educational and Illuminative Function of the Actor in Richard Wagner’S Essay on the Actor and Singer
    85 A Consideration of the Educational and Illuminative Function of the Actor in Richard Wagner’s Essay On the Actor and Singer Asuka YAMAZAKI Abstract This paper addresses the essay On the Actor and Singer (Über Schauspieler und Sänger) (1872) by Richard Wagner, the nineteenth-century German composer, and investigates his views on the national educational and illuminative function of the actor. Conventional research has not regarded how Wagner valued, from a viewpoint of cultural nationalism, the actor’s important abilities and function. Wagner realized the actor’s cooperativity and artistry in German theater, and recognized him not only as a mere medium between artwork and audience, but also as a teacher who has a didactic effect on the audience. In his relationships with actors, Wagner paid attention especially to their acting capabilities and recitation techniques. From the viewpoint of theater history and artistic discussions of the nineteenth century, this paper discusses how Wagner also emphasized the actor’s function and educational effect as a teacher as entailing an advanced acting technique and perfor- mance. Furthermore, in the context of Hegel’s aesthetics and Schopenhauer’s philosophy, Wagner considered how actors’ “self-abandonment” realized a high order of art and didactic effect. We can see here a new image of the actor, built by Wagner in his conception of total art, as a public person who connected to the actor’s mechanical function in the dramatic staging of the age of the “director’s theater” (Regietheater) of the avant-garde. Keywords: Wagner, modern German theater, actor, education, national theater Introduction Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, the eighteenth-century German dramatist, in his Letters Concerning the Latest Literature Letters (Briefe, die neueste Literatur betreffend, 1759–1765), described the situa- tion of German theater in those days as follows: We don’t have a theater.

Following the success of Ahnfrau, however, Grillparzer returns to a much more widespread use of Classical themes, motifs and vocabulary, especially in Sappho, Grillparzer's mood in the period 1816-21 was one of introversion and pessimism, and there is an emphasis on the vocabulary of quiet peace and withdrawal.

In Skandi­ navien aber wurde er mehr als gehört, er wurde ein Begriff, fast mythisch: der unchristlich rastlose Intellektuelle, der Aufklärer selbst. Auch in unserem Jahrzehnt erscheinen seine Schriften in Dänemark. 1986 trafen sich einige hundert Philologen aus der ganzen Welt in Göteborg mit Brandes als Thema. Vor ein paarJahrenveröffentlichte ein führender schwedischer Literaturkriti­ ker einen Roman, in dem ein fiktiver Georg Brandes in einem heutigen Kon­ text die Hauptrolle spielt. Eine englischsprachige Einführung in die aktuelle Forschung um Georg Brandes erschien 1980 unter dem treffenden Titel The Activist Critic. 2 In Deutschland war es nicht anders. In der Kaiserzeit wurde er als der ohne Zweifel bedeutendste Kritiker der Epoche betrachtet. In der heutigen deutschen Wirklichkeit aber und in der heutigen deutschen Literaturge­ schichte ist Georg Brandes ein vergessener Mann.
