Precarious Figurations - Shylock on the German Stage, 1920-2010 (Paperback): Zeno Ackermann, Sabine Schulting Precarious Figurations - Shylock on the German Stage, 1920-2010 (Paperback)
Zeno Ackermann, Sabine Schulting
R896 Discovery Miles 8 960 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Precarious Figurations focuses on the reception of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Germany. Looking at theatrical practices and critical or scholarly discourses from the Weimar Republic to the new millennium, the book explores why the play has served simultaneously as a vehicle for the actualization of anti-Semitic tropes and as a staging ground for the critical exposure of the very logic of anti-Semitism. In particular, the study investigates how the figure of Shylock has come to be both a device in and a stumbling block for attempts to bridge the fundamental rupture in civilization brought about by the Holocaust. The careful analysis of the German reception of Merchant, and in particular of the ways of doing and reading Shylock in the context of painful German, and German-Jewish, discourses of identity and remembrance, is designed to raise fundamental questions - questions concerning not only the staging of Jewishness, the tenacity of anti-Semitism and the difficulties of Holocaust remembrance, but also the general potentials and limitations of theatrical interventions into cultural conflicts.

Shylock nach dem Holocaust (German, Hardcover): Zeno Ackermann, Sabine Schulting Shylock nach dem Holocaust (German, Hardcover)
Zeno Ackermann, Sabine Schulting
R4,945 Discovery Miles 49 450 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

After the breakdown of civilization during the Holocaust, Shakespeare s Merchant of Venice quickly regained its traditional position at the forefront of the West German theater scene. Despite or indeed due to the fact that the piece exhibits problematic constructions of Jewishness in the figure of the money-lender Shylock, it became an important reference point and medium of difficult debates regarding the problem of German hate and German guilt. This volume discusses important stations of this contradictory reception history from the perspective of English and German studies, theater studies and commemorative history research."
