This interdisciplinary book of twelve chapters explores not only Shakespeare, but also more than Shakespeare, including the contemporary adaptation of plays and novels represented on screen, stage, and streaming media. It analyzes reinterpretations by directors like Spielberg and Coen, and applies Ecocriticism to uncover ecological and moral themes. From overlooked characters like Rosaline to the historical imagination in All Is True, the book probes power, gender, and tragedy. Case studies include Julius Caesar interpreted in Taiwan’s Caesar’s Maze (a collaboration with Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera), Shakespearean echoes in Netflix’s Copycat Killer and Love, Death + Robots, and posthuman futures in Atwood’s Oryx &amp; Crake. It also explores how theater, museums, and AI reshape cultural memory, and how law, race, and technology intersect in Killers of the Flower Moon and Black Mirror. The global tours of Mamma Mia! and Once in Taiwan highlight transnational storytelling extending beyond more than Shakespeare.

Germanistische Symposien

Vers und Prosa als gebundene und ungebundene Rede sind Grundprinzipien sprachlicher Gestaltung, die in ihrer Komplementarität bislang noch erstaunlich selten behandelt worden sind. Weit intensiver wurde das Gegensatzpaar Poesie und Prosa bedacht, das spätestens seit dem 18. Jahrhundert als Beschreibungsmatrix dominiert. Die weitgehend getrennten Forschungsimpulse einerseits zur Prosa, andererseits zum Vers führt das literaturwissenschaftliche Symposion zusammen, um sie zur Theorie und Geschichte einer produktiven Beziehung zu verbinden. Erst in der Zusammenschau, zumal in der Kreuzung unterschiedlicher Literaturen und Systeme, kann das ästhetische Potential von Vers und Prosa kritisch befragt werden. Ziel ist es, mit der Gegenüberstellung von Vers und Prosa hinter die geschichtsphilosophischen Spekulationen, die sich an Poesie und Prosa ausgebildet haben, zurückzugehen und formale Aspekte stärker in den Vordergrund treten zu lassen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Untersuchung von Mischungs- und Kontrastverhältnissen, durch die eine vermeintlich stabile Grenze zwischen Vers und Prosa immer wieder neu zur Verhandlung steht.


Die Differenzen, Interferenzen und Interaktionen zwischen Vers und Prosa sollen in vier Sektionen untersucht werden. Sektion 1 befasst sich mit Übersetzungen und Adaptionen, um die historische (In-)Stabilität der Unterscheidung zwischen Vers und Prosa zu beobachten. In Sektion 2 sollen rhythmische Gestaltungen und Theorien des Rhythmus als produktive Zone der Indifferenz zwischen Prosa und Vers diskutiert werden. Probleme der Textproduktion und der Materialität werden in Sektion 3 adressiert. Sektion 4 fragt nach den kulturellen, politischen und epistemischen Dimensionen der Vers- und Prosa-Unterscheidung.

Vers und Prosa

How Shakespeare’s exploration of central human questions—about identity, politics, religion and right and wrong—explains his lasting power, popularity and relevance In the eighteenth century, Samuel Johnson famously argued that Shakespeare is enduringly popular because he “is above all writers, at least above all modern writers, the poet of nature; the poet that holds up to his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life.” Johnson’s view largely prevailed until the late twentieth century, when it was challenged by a growing scepticism about the existence of a general human nature. In Thinking Through Shakespeare, eminent literary critic David Womersley pushes back against this change by exploring how Shakespeare’s plays think through—and invite us to think through—deep human questions of lasting importance. Thinking Through Shakespeare explores four perennial human problems: personal identity, the distinction between civilization and barbarism, the relation between political power and religious authority and the tension between means and ends. It examines the history of these problems, from antiquity to today, and traces how Shakespeare engages with them in the great tragedies—Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear—but also in his other plays. Without arguing that human nature is universal or unchanging, or that Shakespeare has some special access to timeless wisdom, the book makes the case that his drama is powerful because it serves as a forensic tool, probing rival perspectives on questions that have preoccupied many people in many societies over many centuries. By revealing in new ways how Shakespeare’s plays are animated and driven by central human problems, and why he should again be viewed as the great poet of human nature, Thinking Through Shakespeare opens up a richer understanding and appreciation of his work.

Thinking Through Shakespeare

'A perspective-altering take on a world we usually think of in far more domestic terms. A ground-breaking masterwork' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE 'Triumphant . . . Cinematic . . . No one who reads this book will ever see Tudor and Stuart history in the same light again' JOHN GUY, LITERARY REVIEW 'Many books claim to be a new way of looking at history, but this book truly is' FINANCIAL TIMES The prize-winning author uncovers the revelatory global story of Tudor and Stuart England - told through the merchants, migrants, sailors, travellers and spies who helped forge a nation. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries forged a powerful image of England - Shakespeare's 'scepter'd isle', proud and apart, defined by royal spectacle and myth. But beneath this familiar narrative of ruffs and gowns, kings and queens, lies a more complex and connected reality. England at this time was far from insular. Travelling in and out of the country were Venetian glassmakers with English wives, African innkeepers and Native American envoys. There were people like the Flemish artist Levina Teerlinc, probably the only painter to be employed by four English monarchs. There was William Adams, a Kentish navigator who became Japan's first English samurai. And there was Elizabeth Key, daughter of an enslaved mother in the colony in Virginia, who battled in the courts for herself and her son. Drawing on extensive archival research, attentive to the textures of daily life, yet alive to the sweep of history, This Little World offers a startlingly new, globally resonant vision of England's past and what it meant to be English. It is a story of a nation in the making - on the cusp of empire - told through the traces of those often written out of it. In reframing England's story within a wider world, it challenges us to rethink some of our most fundamental ideas: about nationhood, about identity, and above all, about belonging.

Shakespeare Retold

Shakespeare's The Tempest gets the Margaret Atwood treatment in this ingenious, funny, tear-jerking story about a theatre director intent on revenge. Felix is at the top of his game as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he's staging a Tempest like no other. It will boost his reputation. It will heal emotional wounds. Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. Also brewing revenge. After twelve years, revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall? 'Surpassingly brilliant' The Times 'Riotous, insanely readable and just the best fun...' Observer **LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2017** SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before. Nine iconic stories transformed by the best novelists of our time, celebrating the Bard's lasting legacy.

The New Middle Ages

This book focuses on minor characters in fiction, primarily nameless and unimportant figures found within medieval Icelandic sagas but weaving in examples from Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, and the Pet Shop Boys. Jakobsson examines minor characters and their role, as well as their absence, through narratology. He also studies the sagas as literature, arguing that few elements open up sagas as much as how minor characters function.

Show yourself who's in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun-from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies. Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences - ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history's most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones. Illustrated with examples from history and pop culture - Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie - Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals? Filled with entertaining and scientific studies that showcase the life-changing power of language, Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.

Forschungen zum Alten Testament 2. Reihe

Eric McDonnell offers a detailed analysis of the literary functions of the three psalms that open the Masoretic Psalter, employing diachronic, comparative and literary-theoretical methods. Beginning with a discussion of the preface in the sense articulated by Jacques Derrida and Gérard Genette, the author distinguishes primary, introductory and prefatorial functions that texts may assume at the threshold of larger compositions. On this basis, Ps 1 and 2 appear as a two-part prefatorial paratext shaping the literary and theological orientation of the emerging Psalter, while Ps 3 serves a different function by introducing the general form of the individual lament, reflecting an early preexilic stage of the collection.
 

 A comparative examination of the Gilgamesh Epic, the Egyptian Book of the Dead and Sirach shows how ancient textual collections reuse traditional materials to advance new literary and ideological purposes, a process described as iterative play in conversation with Derrida and Hans-Georg Gadamer. The author then reviews three influential accounts of the literary development of the Masoretic Psalter and presents an alternative reconstruction that builds on the preceding analyses. Eric McDonnell thus highlights the close relation between synchronic readings and diachronic analysis and demonstrates how both perspectives contribute to understanding the shape and shaping of the Masoretic Psalter.

Jung - alternativ - explosiv.
Seit 2014 ist Joseph Pearson Hausessayist an der Berliner Schaubühne und gibt mit seinen Previews Einblicke und Hintergrundinformationen, indem er Proben besucht, Regisseur:innen vor den Premieren interviewt und aus der Perspektive eines bloggenden 'Universalgebildeten' und begeisterten Theaterbesuchers seine oft ungewöhnlichen
Fragen stellt.
Die zwölf hier versammelten Texte entstanden zwischen 2015 und 2023 im Vorfeld von Thomas Ostermeiers Inszenierungen (u. a. "Richard III"., "Professor Bernhardi", "Rückkehr nach Reims", "Im Herzen der Gewalt", "abgrund", "Die Möwe") an der Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz.
Ein einführender Essay sowie ein Gespräch, das im Oktober 2025 mit dem Regisseur für dieses Buch geführt wurde, komplettieren diese Previews zu einer künstlerischen (Arbeits-)Biografie Thomas Ostermeiers.
Das Buch beleuchtet nicht nur Ostermeiers kreatives Schaffen, sondern auch die politischen Anliegen, die seine Arbeit in den letzten Jahren verstärkt prägen. Diese spiegeln ein Jahrzehnt gesellschaftspolitischer Entwicklungen in Deutschland wider, einschließlich des raschen Erstarkens der extremen Rechten. Auf seiner fortwährenden Suche nach einem gesellschaftlich relevanten Theater bleibt Thomas Ostermeier der Maxime treu, die er bereits 1999 zu Beginn seiner Zeit an der Schaubühne formulierte: 'Das Theater kann der Ort einer Bewusstwerdung und damit einer Repolitisierung sein.'
