Alongside the usual wide-ranging lineup of research articles, volume 41 features an interview with Berliner Ensemble actor Annemone Haase and an extensive special section on teaching Brecht.
Now published for the International Brecht Society by Camden House, the Brecht Yearbook is the central scholarly forum for discussion of Bertolt Brecht's life and work and of topics of particular interest to Brecht, especially the politics of literature and of theater in a global context. It includes a wide variety of perspectives and approaches, and, like Brecht himself, is committed to the concept of the use value of literature, theater, and theory.
Volume 41 features an interview with longtime Berliner Ensemble actor Annemone Haase by Margaret Setje-Eilers. A special section on teaching Brecht, guest-edited by Per Urlaub and Kristopher Imbrigotta, includes articles on creative appropriation in the foreign-language classroom , satire in Arturo Ui and The Great Dictator , performative discussion , Brecht for theater majors , teaching performance studies with the Lehrstück model , Verfremdung and ethics , Brecht on the college stage , and methods of teaching Brechtian Stückschreiben . Other research articles focus on Harry Smith's Mahagonny , inhabiting empathy in the contemporary piece Temping , Brecht's appropriation of Kurt Lewin's psychology , and Brecht's collaborations with women, both across his career and in exile in Skovsbostrand .
Editor Theodore F. Rippey is Associate Professor of German at Bowling Green State University.
