Death of a Salesman – Critical Reception on Viennese Stages” DIPLOMARBEIT Titel der Diplomarbeit „Arthur Millers Death of a Salesman – Critical Reception on Viennese Stages” Verfasser Hano Pipic angestrebter akademischer Grad Magister der Philosophie (Mag. phil.) Wien, 2009 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 343 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Anglistik und Amerikanistik Betreuerin: Univ. Prof. Dr. Margarete Rubik ii iii HINWEIS Diese Diplomarbeit hat nachgewiesen, dass der betreffende Kandidat befähigt ist, wissenschaftliche Themen selbstständig sowie inhaltlich und methodisch vertretbar zu bearbeiten. Da die Korrekturen der Beurteilenden nicht eingetragen sind und das Gutachten nicht beiliegt, ist daher nicht erkenntlich, mit welcher Note diese Arbeit abgeschlossen wurde. Das Spektrum reicht von sehr gut bis genügend. Es wird gebeten, diesen Hinweis bei der Lektüre zu beachten. iv v Acknowledgments One cannot write such a piece unaided. Indeed, I have typed in all the words by myself but it took many cheerleaders to finally get this job done. The mental and nourishing support and, of course, love all played a great role in this endeavor. I must thank Prof. Margarete Rubik for making sure that I finish what I have started. Her relentless motivation gave me the muscle to type in the final words. Of course, Conny Kubinger must not be forgotten. The vigorous remarks of encouragement and her ability to make me laugh, I shall not overlook. Chris Struhar, a very good friend of mine, has also helped to pull off this considerable feat. His valuable piece of advice has been very much welcomed. Great appreciation must be given to my mother Alma for feeding my mind and body with sugar and protein. Without her delicious cooking I would still be working on the last parts of this thesis. Love played an important part in my writing this piece of work. It became that little precious catalyst that helped me up, pushed me forward, and sometimes even let me walk on its feet. It must be difficult to radiate with love when the other person sometimes subdues it with its shadows. But her unyielding and incandescent presence has again and again given me all the light to find my way back to a content self. I must thank Lena Pfundner for her radiating love. vi vii Table of Contents 1. INTRODUCTION 1 2. AMERICAN RECEPTION 4 2.1. AMERICAN PREMIERE (1949) DURING THE POST -WAR YEARS 4 2.1.1.

Introduction All these years later when I see a play of mine that I wrote thirty-five years ago, and I see that the audience is screwed into it in the way they were in the first place, I like to believe that the feeling that they have is that man is worth something. That you care about him much is a miracle, I mean considering the numbers of ourselves that we have destroyed in the last century. I think art imputes value to human beings and if I did that it would be the most pleasant thought I could depart with...I guess the other thing is the wonder of it all, that I’m still here, that so much of it did work, that the people are so open to it, and that we sort of grasped hands somehow, in many places and many languages. It gives me a glimpse of the idea that there is one humanity. ... And I think it’s a sort of miracle. (Miller quoted in Bigsby, XXXVII) This response, made by Arthur Miller in 1989 after being asked what gave him the greatest pleasure as a writer, shows the degree to which the American playwright trusted in the raw, attractive nature of his plays. The sincerity with which Miller approached his work enabled the playwright to forge a special connection with the audience, a connection that transcended all geographic, linguistic, and temporal barriers. Indeed, the playwright achieved a level of world- wide fame only reached by a handful of names throughout the deep history of the stage. Death of a Salesman , first performed on Broadway at the Morosco Theater on 10 February in 1949, became one of Miller’s greatest masterpieces and ultimately resulted in the writer’s international recognition. The work is still performed on countless stages and is still read by patrons of all nationalities and ages. “It has been produced in six continents, in every country that has a Western theatrical tradition, and in some that have not” (Murphy, 106). It has been performed in such unlikely areas as Peking and the edge of the Arctic Circle among Norwegian fishermen, who kept coming back night after night to witness “the performance in a language they did not understand” (Murphy, 106). Hardly ever 2 did Miller’s classic play fall short of moving an international audience. 1 After its premiere in the United States, Death of a Salesman was performed in London at the Phoenix stage on 28 July, 1949.

  • The American Film Musical and the Place(Less)Ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’S “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis
    humanities Article The American Film Musical and the Place(less)ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’s “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis Florian Zitzelsberger English and American Literary Studies, Universität Passau, 94032 Passau, Germany; fl[email protected] Received: 20 March 2019; Accepted: 14 May 2019; Published: 19 May 2019 Abstract: This article looks at cosmopolitanism in the American film musical through the lens of the genre’s self-reflexivity. By incorporating musical numbers into its narrative, the musical mirrors the entertainment industry mise en abyme, and establishes an intrinsic link to America through the act of (cultural) performance. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the chronotope and its recent application to the genre of the musical, I read the implicitly spatial backstage/stage duality overlaying narrative and number—the musical’s dual registers—as a means of challenging representations of Americanness, nationhood, and belonging. The incongruities arising from the segmentation into dual registers, realms complying with their own rules, destabilize the narrative structure of the musical and, as such, put the semantic differences between narrative and number into critical focus. A close reading of the 1972 film Cabaret, whose narrative is set in 1931 Berlin, shows that the cosmopolitanism of the American film musical lies in this juxtaposition of non-American and American (at least connotatively) spaces and the self-reflexive interweaving of their associated registers and narrative levels. If metalepsis designates the transgression of (onto)logically separate syntactic units of film, then it also symbolically constitutes a transgression and rejection of national boundaries. In the case of Cabaret, such incongruities and transgressions eventually undermine the notion of a stable American identity, exposing the American Dream as an illusion produced by the inherent heteronormativity of the entertainment industry.

  • Guide to Women's History Collections
    GUIDE TO WOMEN'S HISTORY RESOURCES AT THE AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER "'You know out in Wyoming we have had woman suffrage for fifty years and there is no such thing as an anti-suffrage man in our state -- much less a woman.'" Grace Raymond Hebard, quoted in the New York Tribune, May 2, 1920. Compiled By Jennifer King, Mark L. Shelstad, Carol Bowers, and D. C. Thompson 2006 Edited By Robyn Goforth (2009), Tyler Eastman (2012) PREFACE The American Heritage Center holdings include a wealth of material on women's issues as well as numerous collections from women who gained prominence in national and regional affairs. The AHC, part of the University of Wyoming (the only university in the "Equality State") continues a long tradition of collecting significant materials in these areas. The first great collector of materials at the University, Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard, was herself an important figure in the national suffrage movement, as materials in her collection indicate. Hebard's successors continued such accessions, even at times when many other repositories were focusing their attentions on "the great men." For instance, they collected diaries of Oregon Trail travelers and accounts of life when Wyoming was even more of a frontier than it is today. Another woman, Lola Homsher, was the first formally designated University archivist and her efforts to gain materials from and about women accelerated during the service of Dean Krakel, Dr. Gene Gressley, and present director Dr. Michael Devine. As a result of this work, the AHC collections now contain the papers of pioneering women in the fields of journalism, film, environmental activism, literature, and politics, among other endeavors.
