This focus on spectatorship matters because the main aim of Brecht's epic theatre was to change how spectators watched performances, equipping them to critique and intervene in the world outside the theatre. 🎭

Finally, it investigates Brecht's attempts to transform the composition of the audience and cultivate critical spectatorship at the Berliner Ensemble, the theatre he founded with his wife, the actor Helene Weigel, in East Berlin after the Second World War.

It relates this analysis of onstage spectatorship to Brecht's own formative experiences as a spectator, to his poems and theories, and to productions directed by Brecht and his close collaborators.

Taking its cue from Brecht’s call for theatre to develop 'the art of spectatorship', my book explores vision, observation, and spectatorship in twelve of his plays, spanning his career - using archival material and sources that have previously been rarely consulted.

If you want to find out about the first German translation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the subject of translating disability, my chapter on this has just been published in the book Narrative Universes of Disability. It includes a great image of Frankenstein's creature reading Werther.
The image shows a blue book with the title Narrative Universes of Disability: Global Perspectives, edited by Someshwar Sati, Shilpa Das and Banibrata Mahanta. The publisher is Springer.

Please help support our colleagues in languages at Cardiff by challenging the decision to exclude them from the category of ‘global humanities’ @ucflangs.bsky.social @artsandhums.bsky.social www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/card...
Cardiff’s closure of modern languages will tongue-tie its humanities
