Hamlet after Deconstruction (Adaptation in Theatre and Performance)
by Aneta Mancewicz
Post-war European adaptations of Hamlet are defined by ambiguities and inconsistencies. Such features are at odds with the traditional model of adaptation, which focuses on expanding and explaining the source.

The book explores this pa...

Moeglichkeiten Und Grenzen Der Simultandramatik (Beitraege Zur Literatur Und Literaturwissenschaft Des 20. Un, #6)
by Karin Horner
Simultaneitat gilt als ein Kennzeichen des modernen Bewusstseins. Fur Simultaneitat im Drama gab es bisher keine uberzeugende Bestimmung, die sowohl das spezifisch Moderne des Phanomens als auch den Unterschied zwischen simultanen und nichtsimultanen Dramen der Moderne bezeichnet. Die Reflexion des Begriffs -Simultandramatik- steht deshalb im Zentrum des ersten, theoretischen Teils der Untersuchung. Der folgende historische Teil behandelt die Entwicklung der Simultandramatik zur Zeit der Weimare...
