Collective Creativity
Collective Creativity combines complex and ambivalent concepts. While ‘creativity’ is currently experiencing an inflationary boom in popularity, the term ‘collective’ appeared, until recently, rather controversial due to its ideological implications in twentieth-century politics. In a world defined by global cultural practice, the notion of collectivity has gained new relevance. This publication discusses a number of concepts of creativity and shows that, in opposition to the traditional ideal of the individual as creative genius, cultural theorists today emphasize the collaborative nature of creativity; they show that ‘creativity makes alterity, discontinuity and difference attrac...
Music Into Fiction
Illuminates unexplored dimensions of the music-literature relationship and the sometimes unrecognized talents of certain famous writers and composers. This book deals with three aspects that have been neglected in the burgeoning field of music and literature. The "First Movement" of the book considers writers from German Romanticism to the present who, like Robert Schumann, first saw themselves as writers before they turned to composition, or, like E. T. A. Hoffmann and Anthony Burgess, sought careers in music before becoming writers. It also considers the few operatic composers, such as Richard Wagner and Arnold Schoenberg, who wrote their own libretti. The "Second Movement" turns to litera...
Radical Revival as Adaptation
This book examines the radical reinterpretation of precursor texts and prompts as an innovative form of adaptation for the stage. In this context, stage adaptations are defined as active and risk-taking interventions on pre-existing sources, dramatic and otherwise, that can range from single-authored plays to collaborative creations and devising projects. Radical adaptations have the potential to constitute a cutting edge pathway of exploration in performance, by virtue of operating at the intersection between experimental practice and multiple creative transpositions and crossovers among genres and media. They offer a viable platform for the negotiation of topical concerns embedded into global cultural, socio-political and historical shifts, thus cultivating a genuine bond between theatre and society. This volume considers a range of case studies, from the work of Alexandru Tocilescu to Rimini Protokoll, and is vital reading for those interested in adaptation studies and forms of contemporary theatre practice.
Theatre and Adaptation
A compelling series of interviews with seventeen internationally-renowned theatre and performance artists exploring their approach to adaptation.
Burdebatsch
Seid ihr schon einmal inmitten des Waldes in einem Lederschuh aufgewacht, und ein flauschiges, seltsam bekleidetes Männchen wollte euch einreden, das sei völlig normal? Nein? Dann heißt das, in eurem Haus war ein vorsichtigeres Burdebatsch auf der Jagd als jenes, das sich in Nikitas Zimmer einschlich. Diese Burdebatsche sind seltsame Wesen. Sie können ein bisschen zaubern, aber nicht richtig, und das endet dann manchmal mit Gott weiß was. Außerdem sammeln sie leidenschaftlich „alles, was falsch liegt“ unter unseren Betten: Turnschuhe, Schals, Puppen ... So geriet der kleine Nikita, von dem die Rede sein wird, wegen der Hexerei eines Burdebatschs in Schwierigkeiten. Andererseits gib...
O Veneno Perfeito
A longa e aterradora lista de uso de venenos letais por parte da Rússia contra os seus críticos inspirou o aclamado autor Sergei Lebedev a escrever este romance. Partindo da Primeira Guerra Mundial, e percorrendo várias décadas, Lebedev analisa o como e o porquê de a Rússia e a União Soviética terem desenvolvido neurotoxinas terríveis. No centro da história encontramos o professor Kalitin, um químico implacável obcecado em desenvolver um veneno absolutamente mortal e indetetável, para o qual não existe antídoto. Porém, Kalitin é consumido pela culpa das diversas mortes que resultam do seu pacto faustiano para criar o veneno perfeito. Quando a União Soviética entra em colap...
Handbuch des Russischen in Deutschland
Die Herausgeber des ‚Handbuchs des Russischen in Deutschland‘ verfolgen einen interdisziplinären Ansatz und sprechen damit einen breiten Leserkreis an. Ihr Fokus liegt primär auf Sprachwissenschaft und Sprachdidaktik. Soziolinguistische, kulturelle und literarische Fragestellungen werden jedoch ebenfalls ausführlich behandelt. Die einzelnen Beiträge stammen von renommierten Autorinnen und Autoren aus Deutschland, Finnland, Russland, der Ukraine und Weißrussland. Das Handbuch richtet sich in erster Linie an Lehrerinnen und Lehrer an Schulen, an Hochschuldozenten und an Studierende der Fächer Germanistik, Deutsch als Zweit- und Fremdsprache (DaZ und DaF) sowie Slawistik – und darüber hinaus an alle, die sich für Sprachvergleich, Spracherwerbstheorie, Sprachdidaktik, Bildungspolitik, Soziolinguistik sowie historische und kulturelle Fragen im Zusammenhang mit dem Russischen in Deutschland und seinen Sprecherinnen und Sprechern interessieren.
Teatro, sociedade e criação cênica
O livro reúne traduções que contribuem com o estudo e com as pesquisas de estudantes que atuam na linha de pesquisa Teatro, Sociedade e Criação Cênica do Programa de Pós-graduação em Artes Cênicas da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (PPGAC/UDESC). Nesta reunião de oito textos temos, entre as autoras e autores reunidos, uma argentina, um espanhol, uma russa, duas estadunidenses e três alemães. Isso deve ser ressaltado porque certamente produzirá a impressão e leitura de que aqui se reúne um pensamento no qual predominam as epistemologias "do Norte". Mesmo que essa avaliação possa se basear na origem geográfica dos autores, cabe ressaltar que os textos vão na contra...
