Theatre As Action
After the 1917 revolution, Russian and Soviet avant-garde theatre attempted to create a new art for post-revolutionary society. This reconsideration of the Russian avant-garde theatre investigates the burgeoning new drama/theatre forms of the period. Kleberg considers assumptions made about the audience and by the audience, and seeks to determine whether discrepancies existed between the two. Offering fresh insights into the modernist period of Russian theatre, Theatre as Action provides a new typology of the stage/audience relationship in modernist Russian theatre. Constructivism of the 1920's is discussed on light of the plays of Meyerhold, Eisenstein, and Treytykov. The relation of the Soviet Russian avant-garde to the aesthetics of Bertold Brecht is also examined. This original, comprehensive work is a major contribution to our understanding of the confrontation of the ideal and the reality of Soviet 1920's, revealing the Wagnerian and Symbolist utopia beneath, and its crisis. It will be of particular interest to students of literature and drama.

Starfall
An imaginative tour de force, Starfall consists of three dramatic dialogues among real people in imagined settings. Anchoring each of the dialogues is the great Russian film director and theoretician Sergei Eisenstein, whose artistic theories (in all their formations and reformations) run throughout the book, illustrating the influences that affected the Soviet art world in the period between the two world wars. In The Aquarians Eisenstein meets Bertolt Brecht in the first-class compartment of a train heading from Berlin to Moscow in 1932. They spend the night discussing and arguing about everything from the use of Renaissance magic in art tosome kind of Wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk, in which e...

Rethinking Cultural Transfer and Transmission
Rethinking Cultural Transfer and Transmission. Reflections and New Perspectives formulates new directions within the studies on cultural transfer and transmission, including gender aspects of cultural transfer, the importance of cultural transfer for minority literatures and approaches to writing a cultural transfer and transmission history. The articles collected in this volume demonstrate that the field of cultural transfer and transmission is developing quickly and offers a variety of research possibilities. New aspects are scrutinised and new insights gained from rediscovered material, and although the discussion of the theoretical points of departure and the methods used has only just begun, it is already providing us with interesting results and insights. This book is Volume 4 in the book series Studies on Cultural Transfer & Transmission.
Vid avantgardets korsvägar
Om man tänker sig ett gruppfoto med 1910- och 20-talens berömda ryska konstnärliga avantgarde - poeter, målare, skådespelare, musiker, regissörer, kritiker - samlade på en bild, kan man vara säker på att Ivan aksionov (1884-1935) finns med. Men lika säker kan man vara på att han står skymd, eller i skuggan. Ivan Aksionov var en mångsidig litteratör som bland annat skrev den första boken i världen om Picasso. Men han var en man omgiven av hemligheter. Trots hans originella insatser som konstkritiker, teaterman och översättare vet man i dag nästan ingenting om honom. I Vid avantgardets korsvägar rekonstruerar Lars Kleberg med hjälp av nyfunna källor Aksionovs bana och hans kontakter med Vsevolod Meyerhold, Vladimir Majakovskij, Osip Mandelstam, Sergej Eisenstein och andra av den ryska modernismens stora namn. Lars Kleberg är professor emeritus i ryska och känd som författare, översättare och föreläsare om rysk litteratur, avantgardeteater och konst. På Natur & Kultur har han även utgivit den hyllade biografin Tjechov och friheten (2010).
