May 2004Spectaculum 75
Sechs moderne Theaterstücke
by Antonin Artaud, Jörg Graser, Kai Hensel, Fritz Kater, Simona Sabato, Peter Turrini
Jahrelang hat die Annahme gegolten, das moderne Drama habe keine Leser. Spectaculum I und II haben diese Annahme widerlegt; die beiden Bände haben ein Aufsehen erregt, das weit über den Kreis der Fachkundigen hinausging; über hunderttausend Bände fanden ihre Käufer. Die Welt, in der wir leben, im Dialog vorzustellen, Texte zu bringen, in denen der Puls unserer und vielleicht einer kommenden Zeit schlägt, und dem modernen Theater als einer Institution zu dienen, in der menschliche Freiheit sich heute wie nirgends sonst unmittelbar ausdrückt - dies war unsere Absicht. Ihr ist begeistert zugestimmt worden: »Die gegenwärtige Lage des deutschsprachigen Theaters ist nicht allzu ermutigend. Wer für das moderne Theater ist, der wird den Wunsch hegen, daß der Suhrkamp Verlag diese dankenswerte Bemühung für das moderne Drama fortsetzt.« Österreichischer Rundfunk. - »In einer Zeit, in der die epische Literatur unseren Büchermarkt mit Romanen überschwemmt, daß die Tatsache der ›Neuerscheinung‹ oft wichtiger geworden ist als die Bedeutung einer Veröffentlichung, wird die Dramensammlung des Suhrkamp Verlages Ereignis. Sie geht den umgekehrten Weg: aus der Flut der Uraufführungen, die oft genug um der Uraufführung willen vonstatten gehen, Wesentliches zu retten. Wir bedürfen der Sicherung dieses Schaffens durch Publikation um so mehr, als wir Klarheit über die Situation unseres Theaters gewinnen müssen, in dem zuweilen die Regieleistung mehr beachtet wird als die Dichtung. Das Spectaculum möge auch mit diesem zweiten Bande nicht abgeschlossen werden.« Darmstädter Tagblatt. Wenn wir uns jetzt entschließen, das Unternehmen Spectaculum zu einer ständigen Einrichtung - wenigstens für die kommenden fünf Jahre - werden zu lassen, geschieht dies aus der Überlegung, daß modernes Theater nicht möglich ist ohne die Kenntnis des modernen Theaters. Das moderne Drama wendet sich an den Zuschauer und an den Leser, bei vielen modernen Stücken wird die vom Autor angestrebte Wirkung sich erst auf

The ArtsJuly 2025An idea for a theatre ecology
Methods, theories, histories and practices
by Carl Lavery
An Idea for a Theatre Ecology is the first book in the discipline of Theatre and Performance Studies to provide a rigorous and coherent theory of the ecology that is immanent to the theatrical medium. Over six clearly written chapters, the book provides a genealogy, outlines a method, provides a lexicon and demonstrates an alternative practice of ecoperformance analysis grounded in the figure of the archipelago. Focusing on Antonin Artaud's theatre of cruelty, the book argues that theatre has no need to provide ecological messages nor to transform itself into a platform for the narration of ecological stories. Instead, more is to be gained, environmentally and politically, by concentrating on the power of images, gestures and voices to create corporeal affects and sensations that implicate the spectators in a terrestrial event.

The ArtsDecember 2024Addressing the other woman
Textual correspondences in feminist art and writing
by Kimberly Lamm
This book analyses how three artists - Adrian Piper, Nancy Spero and Mary Kelly - worked with the visual dimensions of language in the 1960s and 1970s. These artists used text and images of writing to challenge female stereotypes, addressing viewers and asking them to participate in the project of imagining women beyond familiar words and images of subordination. The book explores this dimension of their work through the concept of 'the other woman', a utopian wish to reach women and correspond with them across similarities and differences. To make the artwork's aspirations more concrete, it places the artists in correspondence with three writers - Angela Davis, Valerie Solanas, and Laura Mulvey - who also addressed the limited range of images through which women are allowed to become visible.

March 1990Die Geniereligion
Ein kritischer Versuch über das moderne Persönlichkeitsideal, mit einer historischen Begründung
by Edgar Zilsel, Johann Dvorak, Paul Zilsel, Johann Dvorak
In der Auseinandersetzung mit Houston Stewart Chamberlain weist Zilsel darauf hin, daß »Vorurteile mit Glück und Blut der Nebenmenschen bezahlt werden«, und fragt, »ob nicht der Begriff der genialen Persönlichkeit und der Tiefe eine ernste Gefahr für unser Zeitalter« bedeuten. Mit »Die Geniereligion« hat Edgar Zilsel seine systematischen Studien zu den gesellschaftlichen Voraussetzungen und Bedingungen der modernen Wissenschaft begonnen, die er später – im Exil – mit den wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten über die Anfänge der neuzeitlichen Wissenschaft weiterführte. (Diese Arbeiten sind enthalten in: Edgar Zilsel, »Die sozialen Ursprünge der neuzeitlichen Wissenschaft«. Herausgegeben und übersetzt von Wolfgang Krohn. Mit einer biobibliographischen Notiz von Jörn Behrmann, stw 152.)

July 2000Die Schrift und die Differenz
by Jacques Derrida, Rodolphe Gasché, Ulrich Köppen
Derridas Arbeit gehört zu den Versuchen, die »logozentrischen« Schranken der abendländischen Philosophie zu überwinden. über die Philosophie hinauszugehen, heißt für Derrida nicht, »ihr den Rücken zuzukehren (was meistens schlechte Philosophie zur Folge hat). Es heißt: die Philosophen auf eine bestimmte Art und Weise zu lesen«. Die in Die Schrift und die Differenz enthaltenen Essays sind Beispiele einer neue Perspektiven eröffnenden Lektüre von Texten Descartes', Hegels, Freuds, Husserls, Heideggers, Batailles, Foucaults, Artauds u. a. m.Inhalt: Kraft und Bedeutung / Cogito und Geschichte des Wahnsinns / Edmond Jabes und die Frage nach dem Buch / Gewalt und Metaphysik. Essay über das Denken Emmanuel Levinas /. »Genesis und Struktur« und die Phänomenologie / Die soufflierte Rede / Freud und der Schauplatz der Schrift / Das Theater der Grausamkeit und die Geschlossenheit der Repräsentation / Von der beschränkten zur allgemeinen Okonomie. Ein rückhaltloser Hegelianismus / Die Struktur, das Zeichen und das Spiel im Diskurs der Wissenschaften vom Menschen / Ellipse

May 2018El tigre en la casa
by Fernando Lizalde, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía
"Fernando Lizalde representa un caso raro en la poesía mexicana, al menos, por dos razones: una, que su reconocimiento como poeta sólo se dio pasados los cuarenta años con la publicación de El tigre en la casa, y que, por la vertiente primordial de su país, ha sido y es el más brillante, por no decir el real y único, heredero de la poesía maldita, sobre todo el linaje francés: de Rutebeuf y Villon, de Baudelaire y Rimbaud, de Lautréamont y Artaud. De todos, sin duda, su influencia para Arthur Rimbaud o para Émile Nelligan, Charles Baudelaire."

El pensamiento del grito
by Andrea Potestà
El pensamiento del grito (The Thought of Scream) Author: Andrea Potestà ISBN: 978-956-6048-23-7 140 Pages Year: 2020 This piece of work is an invitation to the deconstruction of language and the dismantling of all pretentionsto dominate gestuality. Through Artaud, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Lacoue-Labarthe and Derrida, this book establishes a framework without history that attempts to question the bottom of material and primitive sounding expressivity. Its pages pretend to put into evidence the retroactive effect of language, its impulse to become a home, notof the «being», as Heidegger proposed, but of the specters of the body that secretly inhabits it as an absent presence, unsettling,and suspensive

Children's & young adult fiction & true storiesStraight Ahead
by Emmanuelle Rey
Mauve, Tito and Diamond have been walking along the highway, under the scorching July sun, for the past three days. It was Mauve who decided everything, on a whim, when she realised that this time, her mom had really messed up. And, at fifteen, it was out of the question to be separated from her eight and two-year-old brothers to live with yet another rotten foster family. So the three siblings leave Montpellier and their chaotic life, closely tailed by the police. They leave to find Thierry and Martine, whose smiles and ratatouille chicken Mauve remembers fondly. They start walking straight ahead to Marseille and La Pointe Rouge, with the hope of a new life. Straight Ahead follows the singular path of Mauve and her two brothers, filled with life-altering adventures and realistic characters. Furthermore, in a series of flashbacks, Mauve tells us all about her mother—an eccentric woman who certainly doesn’t seem able to take care of her children, but who is full of love for them nonetheless. • The complexity of a mother-child relationship, when a mother’s love isn’t enough to make up for her shortcomings • The unique bond between siblings that will help them deal with life on the road • Interesting encounters and experiences — good and bad — that teach valuable life lessons

September 2017Every food has a history
by Joana Monteleone
A delicious piece of work. Several essays, all of them told with pleasure of a historian who, at this moment, is not making History, but telling stories. Such storytelling, however, demands culture and talent, and Joana has extra talent and culture: she is a cook, that is, a first-rate storyeller, who moves through several times and through several dishes. The book, indicated for readers of any age, shows how much eacha meal we make is full of stories to be told and to tell us.
