Life Is a Cabaret! Popular Culture and Performance in Weimar Germany (3 Credits) German 470:389:01 Prof. Nicola Behrmann Fall 2010 172 College Avenue, Room 302 11:30am-12:50pm Phone: 732-932-7201 172 College Avenue [email protected] Seminar Room Office Hrs.: W/Th 4:15-5:15pm Life is a Cabaret! Popular Culture and Performance in Weimar Germany (3 credits) This course is an introduction to German 20th century culture focusing on the “Roaring Twenties”. Drawing from various media, we will explore the dynamics of Weimar Germany through the lens of both entertainment culture and experimental literature, conflating the boundaries between high and low art, aesthetics and politics. Topics to be considered are the role of gender and sexuality, consumerism, body culture, and new modes of mass production. Special emphasis is placed on the tradition of the German Kabarett (social satire, and parody), modern dance and revue shows, and experimental literature. Readings include short texts by Ernst Bloch, Georg Simmel, and Siegfried Kracauer; numerous German Kabarett poems and songs; film adaptations of Brecht’s “Three-Penny- Opera”, Heinrich Mann’s “Professor Unrat”, and Frank Wedekind’s “Pandora’s Box”; popular music (Jazz, Schlager, chansons); and dance (Anita Berber, the Tiller Girls, Josephine Baker). All readings, discussion, and writing in German. Course Requirements Attendance and active participation in class discussions (30%); two essays which you will submit as a draft and a final revised version. Only the final version will be graded (20%, 10 each); one “Klausur” (midterm exam, 20%); one short oral presentation of a Cabaret song (10%); final paper (20%) Grade distribution A=90-100%; B+=85-89; B=80-84; C+=75-79; C=70-74; D=65-69; F=64 and below 24-Aug-10, 9:03 PM Required Books, available at the bookstore Bertolt Brecht, Die Dreigroschenoper.

Those who miss more than two class sessions without a compelling excuse (a doctor’s or college dean’s note, for instance) should expect a one-step reduction in the course grade (i.e. an A becomes a B+, a B+ becomes a B). Three late arrivals count as one absence. Note: It is the responsibility of students who have been absent (for any reason) to find out what they have missed and obtain materials that may have been handed out. Photocopies Department photocopying fees add up quickly and impressively; we will therefore need to collect from each student 5 cents per page toward the cost of handouts other than the syllabus.

  • The Plays in Translation
    The Plays in Translation Almost all the Hauptmann plays discussed in this book exist in more or less acceptable English translations, though some are more easily available than others. Most of his plays up to 1925 are contained in Ludwig Lewisohn's 'authorized edition' of the Dramatic Works, in translations by different hands: its nine volumes appeared between 1912 and 1929 (New York: B.W. Huebsch; and London: M. Secker). Some of the translations in the Dramatic Works had been published separately beforehand or have been reprinted since: examples are Mary Morison's fine renderings of Lonely Lives (1898) and The Weavers (1899), and Charles Henry Meltzer's dated attempts at Hannele (1908) and The Sunken Bell (1899). More recent collections are Five Plays, translated by Theodore H. Lustig with an introduction by John Gassner (New York: Bantam, 1961), which includes The Beaver Coat, Drayman Henschel, Hannele, Rose Bernd and The Weavers; and Gerhart Hauptmann: Three Plays, translated by Horst Frenz and Miles Waggoner (New York: Ungar, 1951, 1980), which contains 150 The Plays in Translation renderings into not very idiomatic English of The Weavers, Hannele and The Beaver Coat. Recent translations are Peter Bauland's Be/ore Daybreak (Chapel HilI: University of North Carolina Press, 1978), which tends to 'improve' on the original, and Frank Marcus's The Weavers (London: Methuen, 1980, 1983), a straightforward rendering with little or no attempt to convey the linguistic range of the original. Wedekind's Spring Awakening can be read in two lively modem translations, one made by Tom Osbom for the Royal Court Theatre in 1963 (London: Calder and Boyars, 1969, 1977), the other by Edward Bond (London: Methuen, 1980).

  • Karl Valentin's Illogical Subversion: Issues Arising from Das Aquarium and Liesl Karlstadt's Verein Der Katzenfreunde
    Oliver Double & Michael Wilson Karl Valentin's illogical subversion: issues arising from Das Aquarium and Liesl Karlstadt's Verein der Katzenfreunde Valentin Ludwig Fey was born on 4 June 1882 in the Munich suburb of Au, effectively the only child of an artisan-class family – his sister and two brothers all died in early childhood before Valentin Ludwig was even six months old. Valentin himself only narrowly survived a childhood encounter with diptheria (all of which, perhaps unsurprisingly, contributed to his ever-increasing hypochondria1), but he went on to become Karl Valentin, arguably the most famous German comedian and cabaret performer of his generation. Popular Entertainment in Munich The popular entertainment scene in Munich in the early years of the twentieth century was a vibrant mix of the traditional Volkssänger culture, Salonhumoristen and the more overtly political cabaret established by figures like Frank Wedekind and frequented by the Bohemian intellectual community. Volkssänger is a notoriously difficult word to translate in this context. Literally meaning „folksinger‟ (the term preferred by Robert Eben Sackett in his book Popular Entertainment, Class, and Politics in Munich, 1900- 19232 it is important not to equate these performers with the agrarian working-class amateur singers who acted as the informants of the great folksong collectors such as Cecil Sharpe or Sabine Baring-Gould in England, nor with the professional musicians who emerged from the „folk revival‟ of the 1950s and 1960s. The Volkssänger was a popular entertainer who „came from the common people (…) lived among them and knew what troubled their hearts‟3 and a more useful comparison would be with the artists of the British Music Hall.

  • 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.

  • Revising the World with Speech in Franz Kafka, Robert Walser and Thomas Bernhard
    Monologue Overgrown: Revising the world with speech in Franz Kafka, Robert Walser and Thomas Bernhard by Paul Joseph Buchholz This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Schwarz,Anette (Chairperson) Gilgen,Peter (Minor Member) McBride,Patrizia C. (Minor Member) MONOLOGUE OVERGROWN: REVISING THE WORLD WITH SPEECH IN FRANZ KAFKA, ROBERT WALSER AND THOMAS BERNHARD A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Paul Joseph Buchholz August 2010 © 2010 Paul Joseph Buchholz MONOLOGUE OVERGROWN: REVISING THE WORLD WITH SPEECH IN FRANZ KAFKA, ROBERT WALSER AND THOMAS BERNHARD Paul Joseph Buchholz, Ph. D. Cornell University 2010 My dissertation focuses on unstable, chronically unpublished prose texts by three key 20th century prose writers, quasi-novelistic texts whose material instability indicates a deep discomfort with the establishment of narrative authority qua narrative violence. I argue that Franz Kafka, Robert Walser and Thomas Bernhard, radically refunctionalized the device of interpolated “character monologue,” turning characters' speech from a narrative function, into a site where a text can be rewritten from within. In the Bildungsroman tradition, extended oral interpolations serve as an engine for the expansion and exposition of the plotted work, deepening the epic narrative world and exhaustively presenting a perspective that will be incorporated into biographical trajectory. I locate an estrangement of this practice: moments when oral monologues of fictional interlocutors “overgrow,” becoming an interventionary force that doubles, disrupts and re-frames the narrative discourse out of which it first sprouted. In showing how the labor of ‘world-making’ is split and spread across different competing layers of these texts, my dissertation contributes to the study of the narrative phenomenon of metalepsis.

CONTENTS PAGE Introduction vii Spring’s Awakening (Fruhlingserwachen) 1 Earth-Spirit (Erdgeist) Ill Pandora’s Box (Buchse der Pandora) . 217 Damnation! (Tod und Teufel) ...... 305 INTRODUCTION Frank Wedekind’s name is widely, if vaguely, known by now, outside of Germany, and at least five of his plays have been available in English form for qui^e some years, yet a resume of biographical facts and critical opinions seems necessary as introduction to this—I will not say authoritative, but more care- ful—book. The task is genial, since Wedekind was my special study at Munich in 1913, and I translated his two Lulu tragedies the year after. The timidity or disapprobation betrayed in this respect by our professional critics of foreign drama makes my duty the more imperative. James Huneker merely called him “a naughty boy !” Percival Pollard tiptoed around him, pointing out a trait here and a trait there, like a menagerie-keeper with a prize tiger.

He himself is two-thirds self-deception and blather. (The door is open for discussion.) Certain things remain immovable over Time: Homer is still enjoyed today; art conserves; but in the course of centuries working methods, like the surface of the Earth, undergo changes; the artist can no longer fly into the arms of Cervantes without becoming motheaten. The world has grown in breadth and depth; old Pegasus, outflanked by technology, has been hoodwinked and transformed into a stubborn mule. I claim that any good speculator, banker, soldier is a better writer than the majority of current authors. Writers of prose, always first to jump on the bandwagon, encompass the world not through new rigorous cold-blooded methods, but rather chew away constantly at “material” and problems of their internal inadequacy.
