ISBN: 9781442646001 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wooden Os is a study of the presence of trees and wood in the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries - in plays set within forests, in character dialogue, and in props and theatre constructions. Vin Nardizzi connects these themes to the dependence, and surprising ecological impact, of London's commercial theatre industry on England's woodlands, the primary resource required to build all structures in early modern England. Wooden Os situates the theatre within an environmental history that witnessed a perceived scarcity of wood and timber that drove up prices,...

Religion in Contemporary German Drama: Botho Strauß, George Tabori, Werner Fritsch, and Lukas Bärfuss
ISBN: 9781571135490 / Angielski / Twarda / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Critics often claim that the twenty-first century has seen a sudden -return- of religion to the German stage. But although drama scholarship has largely focused on politics, postmodernity, gender, ethnicity, and -postdramatic- performance, religious themes, forms, and motifs have been a topic and a source of inspiration for German dramatists for several decades, as this study shows. Focusing on works by four major dramatists - Botho Strau, George Tabori, Werner Fritsch, and Lukas Barfuss - this book examines how, why, and to what effect religion is invoked in German drama since the late...

The Speech-Gesture Complex: Modernism, Theatre, Cinema
ISBN: 9780748684892 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book places the performative gesture at the centre of debate between literature, theatre and cinema. This new study examines the representation of gesture in modernist writing, performance and cinema. Deploying a new theoretical term, 'the speech-gesture complex', Anthony Paraskeva identifies a relationship between speech and gesture which is neither exclusively literary nor performative and which, he argues, is fundamental to the aesthetics and politics of modernist authors. In discussions of works by Franz Kafka, James Joyce, Henry James, Wyndham Lewis, Vladimir Nabokov and Samuel...

Euripides Politikos: Recht Und Rache in 'Orestes' Und 'Bakchen'
ISBN: 9783598777370 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Das Buch enthalt eine vergleichende Interpretation der beiden Tragodien, die Euripides am Ende seines Lebens (gest. 406 v. Chr.) verfasst hat. Es wird versucht, die Parallelen beider Werke in Handlungsablauf, dramaturgischem Konzept und Aussageabsicht aufzuzeigen. Dies ermoglicht es, das umstrittene Problem zu losen, mit welchen Intentionen der Dichter die zumeist als "ratselhaft" empfundenen 'Bakchen' verfasste. Aufgrund des Vergleiches erweist sich das Stuck als ein politisches Dokument, das die unauflosliche Problematik einer Ethik, die auf Rache und Vergeltung beruht, zeigt und die...

On Flinching: Theatricality and Scientific Looking from Darwin to Shell Shock
ISBN: 9780198700937 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While the end of the nineteenth century is often associated with the rise of objectivity and its ideal of a restrained observer, scientific experiments continued to create emotional, even theatrical, relationships between scientist and his subject. On Flinching focuses on moments in which scientific observers flinched from sudden noises, winced at the sight of an animal's pain or cringed when he was caught looking, as ways to consider a distinctive motif of passionate and gestured looking in the laboratory and beyond. It was not their laboratory machines who these scientific observers most...

Aristophanes (Routledge Revivals): Poet and Dramatist
ISBN: 9780415749213 / Angielski / Twarda / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To many people Aristophanes is the most immediately attractive and enjoyable of the Greek dramatists. No other comedies from the great age of Attic drama survive in a complete state, and the vigour of his fictions and the brilliance of his humour maintain their power to stimulate and entertain even after two thousand years. Aristophanes: Poet and Dramatist, first published in 1986, offers an account of the early comedies and Frogs, the most famous of his works. It avoids theorising and abstraction, keeping close to individual passages and scenes, whilst also shunning a pedestrian approach in...
