Orgel Stephen: The Texts of Shakespeare

The Texts of Shakespeare

The Transformation of Popular Theatre to Printed Book

A Critical Reader

Contemporary Choreography

Yiddish Voices

This book provides the first ever English translation of the Yiddish play, Mississippi. Penned in 1935 by Leyb Malakh, it was commissioned for production by a Warsaw-based experimental Yiddish theatre company and was focused on the racial injustice of the Scottsboro Boys case which began with the wrongful arrest of nine African-American youths in Alabama, 1931. The book includes a detailed, multifaceted scholarly introduction which ranges widely and effectively across the various historical and literary contexts in which the play can be appreciated.

As our volume shows, both the writer and the director, Michal Weichert, were keen to depict a dramatic episode from contemporary life that reflected the leftist goals and ideas to which they were devoted. Alyssa Quint examines the fact that while the plight of the Scottsboro Boys lasted throughout the 1930s and inspired works of Communist or leftist struggle by a substantial number of artists and writers in the United States, few beyond America took on the subject. She looks at how Malakh's drama reflects the influence of the African American writer Langston Hughes, who wrote Scottsboro Limited in 1931 after the Boys' first trial when they were sentenced to death. Writing in 1935, after a number of successful appeals, Malakh refers to the rallies that took place throughout Europe in protest of the Boys' arrest and sentencing. The introduction also shows how the play reflects the influence of 'synchronous theater' (akin to immersive theater) as well as other avant-garde theatrical strategies of the time. Quint goes on to consider the substantial success of Mississippi, which played on city stages at least one hundred times throughout Poland and attracted significant critical attention, and what this can tell us about the connection between the Jewish people of Europe and African-Americans around this time.

Realism is an artistic practice that aims to faithfully represent reality. Historically, it has been practiced across different media, from early pictorial art and epic oral narratives, through literature and visual arts, to film, music, and digital media. However, an understanding of what it means to "faithfully represent reality" is not universal; rather, it varies from culture to culture. The Oxford Handbook of Global Realisms approaches realism as a transnational, transhistorical, and intermedial global phenomenon. It brings the diversity of global realisms to the fore, showcasing previously underrepresented and marginalized theories, practices, forms, and media of realist cultural production.

De Gruyter Studium

Die Editionswissenschaft ist eine Grundlagenwissenschaft für alle Fächer, in denen Medien der verschiedenen Art zuverlässig aufbereitet und zur Verfügung gestellt werden müssen. Entsprechend benötigen Editoren neben einem fundierten Fachwissen gute Kenntnisse in editorischer Theorie und Praxis. Da sich aber die Editionswissenschaft im wesentlichen aus der Germanistik entwickelt hat und oft noch als Hilfswissenschaft ohne großen Anspruch gilt, fehlt es an allgemeinen Richtlinien, die für alle Fächer gleichermaßen gelten können. Theoretische Überlegungen über die Fächergrenzen hinaus gibt es kaum. Das Studienbuch unternimmt den Versuch, sich nicht auf eine Disziplin und das Medium ,Text' zu beschränken. Es hat aus diesem Grund stets die anderen Fachrichtungen und Medien (Musik, Bild, Film) im Blick. Zudem geht es nicht allein um praktische Probleme, sondern ebenso um theoretische, die wiederum nicht allein Texte betreffen. Ziel ist es, die Editionswissenschaft auf eine einheitliche Basis zu stellen und so zu zeigen, dass es sich tatsächlich um ein eigenständiges Fach handelt.

Editorial studies: a fundamental intermedial discipline for all subjects which require media of various kinds to be reliably processed and made available. Besides well-founded knowledge of their subjects, editors need knowledge and skills in the theory and practice of editorship. To date, however, there has been an absence of general guidelines which can be applied to all subjects. The present textbook develops these guidelines in order to provide a unified basis for editorial studies.
