Routledge Revivals: Bertolt Brecht: Dialectics, Poetry, Politics (1988)Author :
Paperback
Published : Wednesday 11 July 2018
Description
First published in 1988, this books argues with received accounts to reclaim Brechts emphasis on his self-described `dialectical theatre, re-examining firstly the concepts of Gestus and Verfremdung and their realisation in Brechts poetry in terms of his attempt to consciously apply the methods of dialectical materialism to art and cultural practice. The author also takes issue with the customary view of Brechts career and politics which sees him as compromising either with Communist party dogma or bourgeois aesthetics, to find developing parallels between Brechts political and artistic though and the critical dialectics of Marx, Lenin and Mao
