The study concerns itself with the KA1/4nstlerdrama [Drama of the
artist], a genre with which research in literary and drama studies
has so far scarcely concerned itself, despite its popularity. The
study first examines as exemplars theatrical texts by Gerhart
Hauptmann, Bertolt Brecht, Wolfgang Bauer, Thomas Bernhard, Falk
Richter and others both with reference to the texts and from the
perspective of field theory. The study then presents an historical
overview of the genesis of the genre and the central motifs of the
20th century KA1/4nstlerdrama.
The debate on the use and drawbacks of the sociology of literature
unleashed by Bourdieua (TM)s seminal work a oeThe Rules of Arta was
mainly conducted here on an abstract level. The present volume
contains a collection of papers sounding out the applicability of
field theory to literary studies. The authors, from Germany,
Austria, and Switzerland, present theory-led textually based
analyses of the present-day literature and culture business.
