Brecht Yearbook 48 features a section on Brecht's and Heiner
Müller's engagement with modern living, a group of essays on
"Brecht Post-2020," and additional new Brecht research on various
topics. The Brecht Yearbook, published on behalf of the
International Brecht Society, is the central scholarly forum for
the study of Brecht's life and work and of topics relevant to him.
Volume 48 opens with an article on the research that informed the
2022 exhibition Brecht's Paper War. The next section examines
Brecht's and Heiner Müller's engagement with modern living: from
the housing question in the 1920s to the dramaturgical function of
furniture to dialectical stage-auditorium configurations in the
early GDR. The following section on "Brecht Post-2020" explores
dramaturgical approaches to the learning play under pandemic
conditions as well as the "spectrological" aspects of Drums in the
Night. Additional new research includes essays on the critical
edition of Brecht's notebooks, his reception in fascist Italy, the
ambivalence of the heroic in his work, the prioritization of
political parable over avant-garde aesthetics in Round Heads and
Pointed Head, boxing as inspiration for epic theater, Hegelian
aspects of Refugee Conversations and The Measures Taken, and the
working alliance of Brecht and Kurt Weill. Edited by Markus
Wessendorf. Contributors: Fanti Baum, Luke Beller, Manuel Clancett,

The relationship between economy, finance and society has become
opaque. Quantum leaps in complexity and scale have turned this
deeply interdependent web of relations into an area of
incomprehensible abstraction. And while the economization of life
has come under widespread critique, inquiry into the political
potential of representational praxis is more crucial than ever.
This volume explores ethical, aesthetic and ideological dimensions
of economic representation, redressing essential questions: What
are the roles of mass and new media? How do the arts contribute to
critical discourse on the global techno-economic complex?
Collectively, the contributions bring theoretical debate and
artistic intervention into a rich exchange that includes but also
exceeds the conventions of academic scholarship.
