The Horrors of Trauma in Cinema
This volume explores the multifaceted depiction and staging of historical and social traumata as the result of extreme violence within national contexts. It focuses on Israeli-Palestinian, German and (US) American film, and reaches out to cinematic traditions from other countries like France, Great Britain and the former USSR. International and interdisciplinary scholars analyze both mainstream and avant-garde movies and documentaries premiering from the 1960s to the present. From transnational and cross-genre perspectives, they query the modes of representation – regarding narration, dramaturgy, aesthetics, mise-en-scène, iconology, lighting, cinematography, editing and sound – held by...
Gender and Memory in the Globital Age
This book asks how 21st century technologies such as the Internet, mobile phones and social media are transforming human memory and its relationship to gender. Each epoch brings with it new media technologies that have transformed human memory. Anna Reading examines the ways in which globalised digital cultures are changing the gender of memory and memories of gender through a lively set of original case studies in the ‘globital age’. The study analyses imaginaries of gender, memory and technology in utopian literature; it provides an examination of how foetal scanning alters the gendered memories of the human being. Reading draws on original research on women’s use of mobile phones to...

Stefan Zweig Reconsidered
This volume is comprised of 14 contributions, which are revised and expanded versions of lectures held at an international conference on Stefan Zweig that took place in Israel in 2004. The essays focus on Zweig's biographical writings (for example Erasmus and Fouché), as well as on several aspects of his literary works that have been neglected since the revival of academic studies of his writings and career commenced some 25 years ago. These include: Zweig's conception of the daemonic, Zweig and Christianity, the discourse of love in his writings, Zweig as an Austrian eulogist, his understanding of theater, etc. Contributors from Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Slovenia, and Israel bring refreshingly diverse perspectives and new concerns to this scholarly project. With contributions from Vera Apfelthaler, Matjaz Birk, Denis Charbit, Sarah Fraiman-Morris, Mark H. Gelber, Jacob Golomb, Bernhard Greiner, Gert Kerschbaumer, Hanni Mittelmann, Klaus Mueller, Michel Reffet, Ingrid Spoerk, Robert Wistrich.
Shell Shock Cinema
How war trauma haunted the films of Weimar Germany Shell Shock Cinema explores how the classical German cinema of the Weimar Republic was haunted by the horrors of World War I and the the devastating effects of the nation's defeat. In this exciting new book, Anton Kaes argues that masterworks such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, The Nibelungen, and Metropolis, even though they do not depict battle scenes or soldiers in combat, engaged the war and registered its tragic aftermath. These films reveal a wounded nation in post-traumatic shock, reeling from a devastating defeat that it never officially acknowledged, let alone accepted. Kaes uses the term "shell shock"—coined during Wo...

Theater* in queerem Alltag und Aktivismus der 1970er und 1980er Jahre
Schwules Theater, Lesbentheater, weiblicher Punk, schiefe Kunst und Cabaret: Theater prägt die LGBTQI*-Kultur im Deutschland der 1970er und 1980er Jahre. Auf Frauenfesten und in der Tuntenkultur, in Protestperformances und Performancekunst, auf öffentlichen Toiletten und Hinterzimmer-Bühnen werden ganz unterschiedliche Formen der theatralen Darstellung eingesetzt, um Sexualitäten und Geschlechter jenseits der heteronormativen Matrix sichtbar und erfahrbar zu machen. Das Wirkungsspektrum reicht dabei von subversiver Parodie über politische Agitation bis zum Spiel mit der vollständigen Illusion. Den Theaterbegriff versehen wir im Titel des Bandes mit dem Gender-Sternchen, um einerseits d...

Filmisches Theater - theatre/movie-installation - telematisches Theater - Web-Theater: Solche Schlagworte pointieren die Veränderung des Theaters im Dialog mit anderen Medien. Die älteste Darstellungskunst befindet sich im ästhetischen Neuland. Welche Herausforderungen, Chancen und theoretische Fragestellungen sich dadurch ergeben, untersucht dieser Band. Er richtet sich an Theaterinteressierte, Theaterwissenschaftler und Medienwissenschaftler.
