TY - THES A1 - Bähne, Katharina T1 - The Will to Play. Performance and Construction of Royal Masculinity in Early Modern History Plays N2 - Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht Männlichkeitskonzepte in der Frühen Neuzeit, wobei das Hauptaugenmerk auf die dramatische Konstruktion der Figur des Königs gerichtet wird. Anhand von zehn Historiendramen der 1590er wird zum einen die diskursive Komplexität königlicher Männlichkeit in der Renaissance untersucht, um darauf aufbauend deren performative Darstellung zu analysieren. Im Theorieteil werden Männlichkeit und Herrschaft im elisabethanischen England mithilfe zeitgenössischer Texte diskutiert und durch den Genderdiskurs und die Performativität von Gender erweitert. Der darauf folgende Methodikteil entwickelt aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen eine Semiotik von königlicher Männlichkeit, die anschließend im Analyseteil anhand der ausgewählten Historiendramen evaluiert wird.

The History of the Royal Court Theatre Through the Lens of Prominent Productions N2 - An investigative study of newly released archive material representing six decades of Royal Court Theatre history including analyses of the productions of John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger, Edward Bond’s Early Morning, Caryl Churchill’s Cloud Nine, Jim Allen’s Perdition, Sarah Kane’s Blasted, and debbie tucker green’s Stoning Mary. Sixty years after the first season of the English Stage Company was launched at the Royal Court Theatre there is no theatre maker and theatre scholar in the world who has not heard of this first writer’s theatre in Britain: it famously put the angry young Jimmy Porter on stage, it helped put an end to stage censorship in Britain and has through the years been one of the most important engines for new writing in the English speaking world. The who-is-who of British playwrighting started off, visited or ended up at “the most important theatre in Europe” (New York Times). But no matter how big the names attached to a theatre are, it is the everyday battles of budgets, politics and compromises that really are a theatre’s history. Like a detective story, this first independent study of the Royal Court delves deep into the newly opened Royal Court Archives to fully bring to light some of the most controversial decisions, struggles and compromises that shaped the Royal Court.

T1 - Lawrence of Bavaria. The english writer D.H. Lawrence in Bavaria and beyond. Collected Essays. Reisen David Herbert Lawrences in Bayern und in die Alpenländer N2 - The collection of various texts on D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) represents the English writer’s first journey abroad having led the young and receptive teacher - already deeply influenced by German philosophy - into Bavaria and the Tyrol. Vividly featured in his - during his lifetime unpublished - novel "Mr Noon" the stay in Germany and Bavaria in the years 1912 and 1913 and the people he met there were to be the plot of Lawrence’s main works. In Munich Lawrence and his later German wife Frieda von Richthofen (1879-1956) were part of the so-called Schwabing-Bohème. In these circles of artists, poets, social-reformes, as well as of heroines of free love, anarchists and early fascists the author received his ideas about sex and erotics, which were performed in his famous novel "Lady Chatterley’s Lover" in 1927/1928. Especially the impact of the Austrian Doctor Otto Gross (1877-1920), a former lover of Frieda Lawrence, who tried to connect Friedrich Nietzsche’s "Will to Power" and Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalysis, on Lawrence’s work is a remarkable criterion. The studies also follow Lawrence’s tracks into the Tyrol and his and Frieda’s wandering across the Alps to Northern Italy (1912-1913), an adventure playing the real setting of his novel "Women in Love" of 1920 and described in his essays "Twilight in Italy" (1916).
