Zu Dritt

Warum verstricken sich Menschen in Dreiecksbeziehungen? Ist es die Sehnsucht nach Stabilität, Vollständigkeit, vielleicht auch nach Gerechtigkeit? Die junge Martina, nach dem Studium in die Schweiz gezogen, möchte ihre Leidenschaft für Radwan mit ihrem früheren Geliebten Philipp teilen. Hanna, die nach Flucht und Vertreibung ins Eheleben springt, nimmt ihre Mutter in den gemeinsamen Haushalt auf, ohne zu ahnen, dass die Ménage-à-trois ihr Eigenleben abklemmen wird. Und in seinem Vororthaus in Mainz legt der fast 90-jährige Viktor seinen ganzen Einfallsreichtum an den Tag, um die Liebesgefühle der polnischen Pflegerin zu einem Nachbarn auf sich selbst zu lenken und der Dritte im Bunde zu werden. Feinfühlend und scharfsinnig erzählt Ruth Wittig drei Lebensgeschichten, in denen sich Dreiecksverhältnisse als trügerisch und Entscheidungen als Scheinfreiheiten erweisen. Zu dritt ist ein vielschichtiger und raffiniert komponierter Roman, der sich auf den zweiten Blick als Generationengeschichte enthüllt.

K. M. Szpara's Docile is a science fiction parable about love and sex, wealth and debt, abuse and power, a challenging tour de force that at turns seduces and startles. There is no consent under capitalism. To be a Docile is to be kept, body and soul, for the uses of the owner of your contract. To be a Docile is to forget, to disappear, to hide inside your body from the horrors of your service. To be a Docile is to sell yourself to pay your parents' debts and buy your children's future. Elisha Wilder’s family has been ruined by debt, handed down to them from previous generations. His mother never recovered from the Dociline she took during her term as a Docile, so when Elisha decides to tr...

Sarah Harper is driven to achieve success no matter what the cost. She wants to do good and not hurt the people she loves -- especially children and her husband, Joe -- but her desire to succeed in her career too often leaves little time for family. One cold, autumn afternoon, all of that changes when Sarah's car plunges off a bridge and into a river. She is presumed dead by those on the "outside," but Sarah's spirit is still very much alive. What she discovers on the other side transforms everything about Sarah's view of life -- past, present, and future. When Sarah is revived, she is a changed woman. And the unsuspecting world around her will never be the same again.

Aufführung und Edition

Der Band dokumentiert die Beiträge der 2018 veranstalteten Tagung der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für germanistische Edition. Die Kategorie der Aufführung bzw. Performance hat in den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften in den letzten beiden Dezennien einen großen Wandel erfahren. Nicht nur rückte die Aufführung selbst zunehmend ins Zentrum der Betrachtung der performativen Künste, sondern mehr noch wurden auch die verschiedensten Textsorten auf ihre Performanz hin befragt. Das Verhältnis von ‘Werk’ und Aufführung ist dabei in den verschiedenen Disziplinen unterschiedlich gelagert: Während die Aufführung für einen musikalischen Text – und damit die Edition – gleichsam die ‘raison d’être’ bildet, stellt sich dieses Verhältnis für einen Dramentext (und dessen Edition) anders dar. Die hier versammelten Beiträge nehmen die unterschiedlichsten Formen von Aufführungstexten in den Blick und sind daher für Literatur-, Musik-, Kultur-, Theater-, Film- und Medienwissenschaftler gleichermaßen von Interesse.
