At the Limit of the Obscene: German Realism and the Disgrace of Matter examines the fear of materiality in German-language realist and postrealist literature. The book argues that with German literature's turn in the mid-nineteenth century to the depiction of the profane, sensual world, anxiety emerged about the terms of that depiction-with consequences not only for the formal development of realist poetics but also for the conception of profane physical matter itself.Erica Weitzman analyzes works by Adalbert Stifter, Gustav Freytag, Theodor Fontane, Arno Holz, Gottfried Benn, and Franz Kafka to show how efforts to represent the material world in human terms led to an idea of the obscene as an excess of sensual appearance beyond human meaning: the very obverse of the anthropocentric worldview that realism both propagates and pushes to its crisis. At the Limit of the Obscene thus brings to light the troubled and troubling ontology underlying German realism, at the same time demonstrating how it shaped-and continues to shape-our ideas about materiality, alterity, perception, knowledge, representability, and the relationship of human beings to the nonhuman world.

"The Drama of History: Ibsen, Hegel, Nietzsche offers a new interpretation of Henrik Ibsen's drama and brings to light new aspects of G.W. F. Hegel's and Friedrich Nietzsche's works, especially their theorizing of drama and theatre. This study emphasizes the centrality of philosophy of theater in nineteenth-century philosophy and demonstrates how drama functions as an artform that offers insight into human historicity and the conditions of modern life. In this way, The Drama of History: Ibsen, Hegel, Nietzsche seeks to deepen and actualize the relationship between philosophy and drama-not by suggesting that either philosophy or drama should have the upper hand, but by indicating how a sustained dialogue between them can bring out the best in both"-- Provided by publisher.

"Le Suisse, plus précisément le Bernois Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921-1990) retient de ses connaissances de l'Antiquité, de la Bible et de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale les cruautés dont l'être humain est capable. Tandis que sa peinture illustre ces tortures, son écriture dénonce les idéologies, les ambitions de pouvoir politique ou financier et les appétits de grandeur. Il relativise toutefois la portée de l'action humaine face à l'immensité de l'Univers qu'il étudie avec son télescope. Doué d'une imagination débordante et d'un humour décapant, il est tour à tour adulé et hué pour ses pièces de théâtre dont La Visite de la vieille dame figure au panthéon de l'art dramatique. Féru de philosophie, il se consacre vers la fin de sa vie à la recherche de la liberté individuelle dans le grouillement d'un monde de plus en plus réglementé."--Page 4 of cover.

In Theatre of Anger, Olivia Landry offers a provocative new vision of anger as more than just hate and violence. Studying the work of a new generation of transnational theatre practitioners in Berlin, she illuminates how anger can be an affirmative and critical tool in the project of social justice and resistance. To develop her theory of anger, Landry delves into philosophical texts, theatre history, and Black feminist theory from Aristotle, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and Bertolt Brecht to Audre Lorde, bell hooks, and Sara Ahmed. Landry focuses not only on the social and political significance of the theatre of anger and the ways in which it rages against racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, sexism, and homophobia, but also on its aesthetic and theoretical innovation. Through readings of key works, Theatre of Anger asks what it means in our present world to construct political theatre.
