SoSe 14: Literary and Cultural Theories-HS: States of Exception on the Early Modern Stage

Andreas Mahler

Kommentar

The early modern English theatre seems to be obsessed with moments of disintegration, crisis, and breakdown. The seminar, which will be divided into a plenary session (Tues. 16.00-17.30) and an additional hour for group discussions (Tues. 17.30-18.15; see section IV), will read Shakespeare's King Lear and Hamlet (both Arden3) as well as John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi as stagings of those special moments and discuss them as 'states of exception', in which the legitimacy of political power finds itself insistently negotiated, as well as radically questioned. Issues addressed will be the difference between 'law' and 'justice' (Eagleton), the paradoxicality of institutionalizing power (Derrida, Agamben), and the nexus between 'serious' politics and 'playful' theatricality (i.e. aesthetics) (Rancière).
