metamorphosen 19 – Fake & Fiktion
Die 19. Ausgabe der metamorphosen beschäftigt sich mit dem Fake. Oder genauer: mit seinem Verhältnis zur Fiktion. Was ist der Fake, was kann, macht, will er eigentlich im Text? Und was grenzt ihn ab von der Fiktion? Fragen stellen sich nach dem Nährboden sowie dem Resonanzraum des Fakes als Textwerkzeug – und in welchem Kontext er stattfinden muss, um als Mittel im Text oder als Finte überhaupt zu funktionieren. Beiträge kommen u.a. von Ann Cotten, Joshua Groß, Juliana Kálnay, Wolfgang Müller und Tobias Roth.
Das Märchen im Drama
Das Märchendrama stellt innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Dramatik eine eigene Tradition dar. Die Studie zieht erstmalig eine große Linie von der Romantik bis in die Gegenwartsliteratur. Die Relevanz dieses Korpus für die Dramenliteratur zeigt sich in den vielfältigen intertextuellen, reflexiv-kritischen Perspektiven und zeitgenössischen Fragestellungen der Märchenbearbeitungen. Methodisch verbinden sich medien- und gattungstheoretische Fragestellungen mit kultur- und sozialhistorischen Aspekten, um die bislang unterschätzte Verwandtschaft des Märchens mit dem Theater greifbar zu machen.
Woyzeck
A classic of the German stage adapted as a monologue. Though written in 1837 Woyzeck is widely regarded as the first Expressionist play due to its splintered and fragmentary nature. Here it is presented in a new form.
The Plebeians Rehearse the Uprising
In his first full-length play, Günter Grass takes Bertolt Brecht, the foremost modern German dramatist, as his key figure. On 17 June, 1953, the workers in East Germany rise in rebellion against oppressive measures, but their revolt lacks a voice and a leader. In the East German theatre of which he is the director, the famed Communist poet and playwright, Bertolt Brecht (named 'the boss' in the play), is shown rehearsing his adaption of Shakespeare's Coriolanus. The revolution spills over into the stage happenings as a workers' delegation requests that 'the Boss' lend the authority of his voice and fame to their demands for justice and freedom. The intellectual is shown in a tragic dilemma: reasoning keeps him from active commitment until it is too late. He becomes guilty of betraying the workers and his own self.
Correspondence
Together Max Frisch and Friedrich Dürrenmatt are not only two of the most esteemed Swiss writers of the twentieth century, but arguably two of the most important European writers since World War II. The remarkable letters gathered here document their unique, unlikely, and extraordinary friendship. This collection of correspondence offers a picture of two temperaments that could not have been more different. As their letters show, at first their friendship was tentative, both critical and respectful, as one might imagine of two contemporary literary giants. Then, under the pressure of their increasing fame, Frisch and Dürrenmatt's letters became more teasing in spirit and began to carry a n...
