    Karl Kraus on Stage: between text and theatricality

    Get PDF
    Discussions of the Austrian cultural critic Karl Kraus (1874-1936) tend to focus on his skills as a writer. Apart from a very limited amount of studies (Lensing 2007; Youker 2011; Stocker 2013), surprisingly little attention has been paid to his performance as a public speaker. Nevertheless, Karl Kraus owes much of his enduring fame to the fact that he toured intensely in the period between 1910 and 1936, the year of his death. This article aims to reflect on both the rhetoric and the (implied) theatricality of Kraus’ spoken-word performances. It is the ambition of this article to frame Kraus’ performance, which eschews easy categorisation, within the wider framework of how authors at the time resorted to spoken performances to shape an image of themselves and how they used specific media to achieve this goal. First, I discuss some of the eyewitness accounts of Kraus’ performances in order to show why it is so difficult to arrive at a neutral account of Kraus’ lecture evenings. In a second step, I tackle the rhetorical profile, the vocal fervour and the theatrical minimalism of Kraus’ scenography, which allows us to detect both progressive and conservative elements in his performances. In a third step, I describe how Kraus’ “Theater der Dichtung” and its resistance against conventional theatre can be modelled as an early precursor of techniques cherished by the main representatives of anti-illusionism and potentially also Regietheater. Finally, I compare Kraus with Thomas Mann so as to highlight that the particular usage that authors made of particular media (and even typography) contributed to their overall rhetorical (and ultimately political) persona

    I Encuentro de Jóvenes Investigadores, Zaragoza, 9 y 10 de Febrero del 2012[EN]The revolution is being experienced in the field of communications has favored the emergence of the theory of the Gutenberg Parenthesis. Lars Ole Sauerberg argues that the press ended oral culture. However, we believe that by consulting historical sources of modern times and the application of appropriate methodology, we demonstrate the persistence of oral culture and we reconstruct the oral practices of the modern age.[ES]La revolución que se está experimentando en el ámbito de las comunicaciones ha favorecido el surgimiento de la teoría del Paréntesis de Gutenberg. Lars Ole Sauerberg defiende que la imprenta acabó con la cultura oral.
