Lebensläufe von Frauen, die – bedingt durch ihre Zugehörigkeit zu einer verfolgten Gruppe oder durch ihre politische Überzeugung, z. T. durch beides – während der nationalsoziali- stischen Herrschaft Repressalien ausgesetzt waren und schließlich aus Deutschland flüchten mußten. Dabei interessieren sich die Autorinnen beson- ders für die Fluchtwege und Exilstationen von Frauen, die versuchten, der Ver- folgung der Nazis innerhalb Europas zu entkommen – ein Teilaspekt des Exils zwischen 1933 und 1945, der noch immer als „spärlich und beschränkt“1 er- forscht gelten muß. Zwar widmen sich seit den 80er Jahren Untersuchungen auch verstärkt der spezifischen Situation von weiblichen Emigranten.2 Das kann aber nicht über die Tatsache hinweg täuschen, daß der Geschlechterdiffe- renz als soziale und damit auch Analysekategorie noch immer unzureichend Rechnung getragen wird, daß weibliche Lebensläufe nicht selten vernachlässigt oder unter die ihrer Partner subsumiert werden.3 An dieser Stelle sollen deshalb in vier exemplarischen Portraits unter dem Aspekt weiblicher Überlebensstrategien im Exil die wenigen erhaltenen Zeug- nisse zum Sprechen gebracht werden, um so möglichst viel an gelebter Erfah- rung zurückzugewinnen und sichtbar zu machen. Dies geschieht unter schwie- rigen Bedingungen. Denn nur noch wenige Zeitzeugen können dazu persönlich befragt werden – von den hier im Mittelpunkt stehenden Frauen keine mehr. 1 Borst, Eva: Identität und Exil. Konzeptionelle Überlegungen zur. 7.

This academic orthodoxy is challenged, however, by the increasing presence of transgender persons joining the theoretical discourse, many of whom experience an essential gender as a central facet of their identity.

  • Psychodrama Section Deal with Its Relationship to Psychoanalysis, Theoretically and Practically
    Editorial Note This issue is again divided into sections. We gratefully acknowledge the work of Joe Hart in assembling and editing the Sociometry section. PSYCHODRAMA Psychodrama has for a long time filled the pages of the journal over­ SECTION whelmingly; it is good to see that the sociometric basis for Moreno's work is getting its proper share of attention. The papers cover a broad spectrum of applications. Among others, the attention paid the network theory reminds us that beyond the immediate social atom lies the network, from which influences impinge upon the smaller group and the individual which, though subtle, are very real. Two articles in the Psychodrama section deal with its relationship to psychoanalysis, theoretically and practically. Does this forebode a trend? ESCAPE ME NEVER We shall be interested to observe this in the future. ZERKA T. MORENO ZERKA T. MORENO As a very young man Moreno's. play with children in the gardens of Vienna proved to be a seedbed from which his therapeutic methods developed. He wrote about these story games in Das Koenigreich der Kinder (The Kingdom of the Children) in 1908. It was not without pride that he described how, given the opportunities he provided, one child after another revealed true dramatic talent. S01ne went on in later life to distinguished careers in the theater. Of these, perhaps the most talented and most widely acclaimed was the actress Elisabeth Bergner. An ornament to the stage in Max Reinhardt"s theater in Berlin, in London with Charles Cochran, in films with Alexander Korda and her husband Paul Czinner, and on tours around the world, the films she made are considered cine,na classics.

  • Tim Bergfelder
    Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION: GERMAN-SPEAKING EMIGRÉS AND BRITISH CINEMA, 1925–50: CULTURAL EXCHANGE, EXILE AND THE BOUNDARIES OF NATIONAL CINEMA Tim Bergfelder Britain can be considered, with the possible exception of the Netherlands, the European country benefiting most from the diaspora of continental film personnel that resulted from the Nazis’ rise to power.1 Kevin Gough- Yates, who pioneered the study of exiles in British cinema, argues that ‘when we consider the films of the 1930s, in which the Europeans played a lesser role, the list of important films is small.’2 Yet the legacy of these Europeans, including their contribution to aesthetic trends, production methods, to professional training and to technological development in the film industry of their host country has been largely forgotten. With the exception of very few individuals, including the screenwriter Emeric Pressburger3 and the producer/director Alexander Korda,4 the history of émigrés in the British film industry from the 1920s through to the end of the Second World War and beyond remains unwritten. This introductory chapter aims to map some of the reasons for this neglect, while also pointing towards the new interventions on the subject that are collected in this anthology. There are complex reasons why the various waves of migrations of German-speaking artists to Britain, from the mid-1920s through to the postwar period, have not received much attention. The first has to do with the dominance of Hollywood in film historical accounts, which has given prominence to the

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.

Issue 8 (2017) - Scrutinizing Surfaces Translating Surfaces: Shakespeare’s As You Like It, 1599-1989 Liz Oakley-Brown [1] Andrzej Krauze’s artwork for Tim Albery’s 1989 Old Vic production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It (c. 1599) crafts a striking perspective of the play.[1] His illustration of printed ink on paper fusing skinscape and landscape – the contours of a finely fashioned (feminine?) profile resemble a sparse green-spiked forest encircled by a smooth hirsute hinterland – nimbly captures the comedy’s famous dramatisation of unstable borders, margins and frames. Krauze’s textural design, however, simultaneously raises questions about As You Like It’s engagement with the surface: that ‘boundary condition that comes into being through the active relation of two or more distinct entities or conditions,…The sur-face, as a facing above or upon (sur-) a given thing’ which ‘refers first of all back to the thing it surfaces, rather than to a relation between two or more things’ (Hookway 2014:12).

  • IT's TIME to DIE by Krzysztof Zanussi
    IT’S TIME TO DIE by Krzysztof Zanussi translated by Anna Piwowarska // Stephen Davies 1 INTRODUCTION The grim title of this book originates from an anecdote and I ask you to treat it as a joke. I don’t intend to die soon or persuade anyone to relocate to the afterworld. But a certain era is dying before our very eyes and if someone is very attached to it, they should take my words to heart. This is what this book is to be about. But first, about that anecdote. It comes from a great actor, Jerzy Leszczynski. For me, a fifty-something-year-old, this surname is still very much alive. I saw Jerzy in a few roles in the ‘Polish Theatre’ just after the war; I also saw him in many pre-war films (after the war I think he only acted in ‘Street Boundary’). He was an actor from those pre-war years: handsome, endowed with a wonderful appearance and a beautiful voice. He played kings, military commanders, warlords and this is how the audiences loved him. After the war, he acted in radio plays – he had beautiful pre-war diction and of course he pronounced the letter ‘ł’ and he didn't swallow his vowels. Apart from this, he was known for his excellent manners, which befitted an actor who played kings and military commanders. When the time of the People’s Republic came, the nature of the main character that was played out on stage changed. The recruitment of actors also changed: plebeian types were sought after - 'bricklaying teams' and 'girls on tractors who conquered the spring'.

  • The Mass Ornament: Weimar Essays / Siegfried Kracauer ; Translated, Edited, and with an Introduction by Thomas Y
    Siegfried Kracauer was one of the twentieth century's most brilliant cultural crit­ ics, a bold and prolific scholar, and an incisive theorist of film. In this volume his important early writings on modern society during the Weimar Republic make their long-awaited appearance in English. This book is a celebration of the masses—their tastes, amusements, and every­ day lives. Taking up the master themes of modernity, such as isolation and alienation, mass culture and urban experience, and the relation between the group and the individual, Kracauer explores a kaleidoscope of topics: shop­ ping arcades, the cinema, bestsellers and their readers, photography, dance, hotel lobbies, Kafka, the Bible, and boredom. For Kracauer, the most revela­ tory facets of modern metropolitan life lie on the surface, in the ephemeral and the marginal. The Mass Ornament today remains a refreshing tribute to popu­ lar culture, and its impressively interdisciplinary essays continue to shed light not only on Kracauer's later work but also on the ideas of the Frankfurt School, the genealogy of film theory and cultural studies, Weimar cultural politics, and, not least, the exigencies of intellectual exile. This volume presents the full scope of his gifts as one of the most wide-ranging and penetrating interpreters of modern life. "Known to the English-language public for the books he wrote after he reached America in 1941, most famously for From Caligari to Hitler, Siegfried Krac­ auer is best understood as a charter member of that extraordinary constella­ tion of Weimar-era intellectuals which has been dubbed retroactively (and mis- leadingly) the Frankfurt School.
