| Zusammenfassung: | The late years of the Weimar Republic were a time of political disillusionment and economic disintegration. Nowhere were the forces competing for the political allegiances of the working class more active than in Berlin. Bodek's study examines the interplay of socialist and communist politics with the world of the working class (and particularly its young people) in the forms of agitprop theater, workers' chorus, and the modernist theater of Brecht. Using sources such as newspaper articles and reviews, the texts of agitprop plays, festival and concert programs, and police reports, Bodek provides a new angle on the cultural and political forces at work in the proletarian sphere during the period, and shows how the theater of Brecht draws on many of its aesthetic assumptions. Bodek examines the very different aesthetics and political assumptions of Social Democratic workers choruses and Communist agitprop theater Although the political cadres of both parties were concerned with the influence of economic, social, and class factors on the production of art and in turn on the population in general, they developed and pursued radically different programs in their attempts to use culture to further their political goals. The unwillingness of these two Marxist movements to work together helped to open the door to the National Socialist seizure of power. The book's attention to Communist agitprop troupes in Berlin is path-breaking. The young people of these troupes wrote and performed their own material, which was supposed to be of general topical interest and based on the Communist Party's (the KPD's) political line at the time. The troupes were important to the KPD because they served as a surrogate mass medium for communication of its message To understand these troupes, Proletarian Performance in Weimar Berlin investigates the realities of the lives of working-class youth of the period, describing and analyzing unemployment, housing, education, and leisure activities, and examining their relationship to the Weimar state as they saw it |

Ill. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Studies in German Literature, Linguistics, and Culture The late years of the Weimar Republic were a time of political disillusionment and economic disintegration. Nowhere were the forces competing for the political allegiances of the working class more active than in Berlin. Bodek's study examines the interplay of socialist and communist politics with the world of the working class (and particularly its young people) in the forms of agitprop theater, workers' chorus, and the modernist theater of Brecht. Using sources such as newspaper articles and reviews, the texts of agitprop plays, festival and concert programs, and police reports, Bodek provides a new angle on the cultural and political forces at work in the proletarian sphere during the period, and shows how the theater of Brecht draws on many of its aesthetic assumptions. Bodek examines the very different aesthetics and political assumptions of Social Democratic workers choruses and Communist agitprop theater Although the political cadres of both parties were concerned with the influence of economic, social, and class factors on the production of art and in turn on the population in general, they developed and pursued radically different programs in their attempts to use culture to further their political goals. The unwillingness of these two Marxist movements to work together helped to open the door to the National Socialist seizure of power. The book's attention to Communist agitprop troupes in Berlin is path-breaking. The young people of these troupes wrote and performed their own material, which was supposed to be of general topical interest and based on the Communist Party's (the KPD's) political line at the time. The troupes were important to the KPD because they served as a surrogate mass medium for communication of its message To understand these troupes, Proletarian Performance in Weimar Berlin investigates the realities of the lives of working-class youth of the period, describing and analyzing unemployment, housing, education, and leisure activities, and examining their relationship to the Weimar state as they saw it Brecht, Bertolt <1898-1956> Criticism and interpretation Brecht, Bertolt 1898-1956 (DE-588)118514768 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1928-1933 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1918-1933 gnd rswk-swf Toneel gtt Weimar-republiek gtt Geschichte Politik Theater Agitprop theater Germany Berlin Theater Political aspects Germany Berlin 20th century Workers' theater Germany Berlin History 20th century Arbeitergesangverein (DE-588)4484320-3 gnd rswk-swf Arbeitertheater (DE-588)4112561-7 gnd rswk-swf Weimarer Republik (DE-588)4065109-5 gnd rswk-swf Politisches Theater (DE-588)4046587-1 gnd rswk-swf Aufführung (DE-588)4143388-9 gnd rswk-swf Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 gnd rswk-swf Agitproptheater (DE-588)4222520-6 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland Berlin (DE-588)4005728-8 gnd rswk-swf Berlin (DE-588)4005728-8 g Arbeitertheater (DE-588)4112561-7 s Geschichte 1928-1933 z DE-604 Agitproptheater (DE-588)4222520-6 s Brecht, Bertolt 1898-1956 (DE-588)118514768 p Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 s Arbeitergesangverein (DE-588)4484320-3 s Aufführung (DE-588)4143388-9 s Geschichte 1918-1933 z 1\p DE-604 2\p DE-604 Weimarer Republik (DE-588)4065109-5 s Politisches Theater (DE-588)4046587-1 s 3\p DE-604 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
