230051 Szenen des Spiels: Theater als Motiv in bildender Kunst und Prosa (S) (WiSe 2026/2027)

Contents, comment

Das Theater ist der Ort des Dramas, der Performanz und des Spiels. Vom Welttheater zum (Rollen)Spiel, von der Kulisse zum „eisernen Vorhang“ greift das Theater in unsere (Bild)Sprache ein. Wir wollen uns deshalb mit dem Theater außerhalb des Theaters auseinandersetzen – als Metapher und Allegorie, als Topos in Bild und Prosa und als Schauplatz.
In diesem Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit Romanen, die vom Theater erzählen, mit anekdo-tischen Texten, mit dem Theater als Weltmetapher in der Wissensgeschichte, mit Szeno-grafie, Maskerade und Kostüm.
