Broschur.; paperback. Condition: Sehr gut. V, 128 p. Ill. Die Exemplare sind in einem sehr guten und sauberen Zustand ohne Anstreichungen. / The copy is in a very good and clean condition without markings. Review enclosed (Winkler; BMCR). // Aus der Einleitung / from the introduction: "On 30th January 1943, Adolf Hitler's close associate Goering made a radio broadcast to the beleaguered Sixth Army at Stalingrad on the eastern front. He compared the German army to the Spartan soldiers at Thermopylae in 480 BCE when they stood, fought and died to prevent the advance of the Persians ('the barbarians') into Greece. Goering's broadcast was not well received. The dispirited and starving listeners described it as 'our own Funeral Speech' and some officers joked ironically that 'the suicide of the Jews', besieged by the Roman army on the top of Masada in 73 or 74 CE was a more apt comparison. This episode raises a host of questions about the reception of classical texts and ideas in later cultures. In this instance, not only was the classical allusion used as a model to sanction expectations of behaviour but further allusions were used as a counter-text to challenge the rhetoric of the high command. At the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, a translation by Edwin Morgan of Racine's Phèdre into modern Scots was staged at the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh. Morgan's translation into a Glaswegian-based Scots was part of a move to give status to the Scots language as part of the emerging classical theatre in Scotland. He also wanted to find out what it was about the play which would survive and transcend what he described as 'a jolt into an alien register'. The translation and the staging represented the latest point in a continuing commentary on the migration through successive languages and theatrical traditions of the story of Phaedra Euripides' Hippolytus, Seneca's Phaedra and Racine's Phèdre. The function of reception studies is to analyse and compare the linguistic, theatrical and contextual aspects of this kind of migration." // CONTENTS -- List of illustrations -- I From the Classical Tradition to Reception Studies -- II Reception within Antiquity -- III Challenging Stereotypes - the Contexts of Reception -- IV Staging Receptions -- V Film and Poetry -- VI (Re) Evaluations - (why) do Reception Studies matter? -- Bibliography -- Supplementary Bibliography -- About the Author.
