This collection provides a comprehensive overview of the
Oberammergau Passion play and its history from the 19th century
onwards. Specialists in theatre and performance studies,
comparative literature, theology, political studies, history, and
ethnology initiate an interdisciplinary discussion of how
Oberammergau has built a trademark from tradition. A typological
and historical outline of this development is followed by detailed
analyses of the blending of spaces, temporalities, and cultures,
through which Oberammergau as an institution is stabilized while at
the same time remaining open to the dynamics of historical change.
The authors comprise the formation of a theatrical public sphere,
literary imaginations, and layers of authenticity in modern
practices of distributed communication that culminate in the notion
of tradition as trademark. This collection is analysed from a wide
spectrum of cultural historical perspectives, ranging from literary
studies, theatre and performance studies to theology, political
studies, and ethnology.
