Marius von Mayenburg and Roland Schimmelpfennig
No full textRoland Schimmelpfennig and Marius von Mayenburg represent a new generation of playwrights to emerge in the German-speaking countries in the late 1990s; other prominent protagonists include Falk Richter, Lukas Bärfuss and Kathrin Röggla, as well as Dea Loher and Sibylle Berg. In this chapter, the author clearly shares some of their approaches, as both revisit and reinvent key conventional dramatic mechanisms, yet from a postdramatic horizon. Fireface, mapped out key themes as well as the (European middle-class) universe that keeps appearing in Mayenburg’s work in a variety of permutations. In Der Hässliche, premiered at Schaubühne Berlin in January 2007, Marius von Mayenburg plays a scathing game with postmodern ideas of the ‘performativity’ of subjectivity and contingency of identity. These academic ideas, in the context of neoliberal capitalism, contribute to an all-encompassing commodification of individuality. In fact, all of Marius von Mayenburg’s plays transcend the hyper-realities of his scenarios into grotesque exposures of absurdities of middle-class life under global capitalism
Human-AI Collaboration in Academic Writing: towards a Synergy Model and A Case to Include AI as a Co-Author
No full textAs generative AI systems such as ChatGPT and Gemini 2.5 become increasingly integrated into academic workflows, the question of their legitimacy, limitations, and potential in scholarly writing has become urgent. This paper presents a reflexive case study of a sustained collaboration between a domain expert in consciousness studies and Gemini 2.5, culminating in the co-authorship of a peer-reviewed research article. By analyzing exactly 37,440 words of recorded interactions, we identify patterns of synergy, including recursive refinement, conceptual amplification, and accelerated manuscript development. We argue that when guided by a knowledgeable human author, AI can act as a cognitive partner rather than a passive tool—amplifying scholarly creativity and improving efficiency without compromising academic rigor. The case supports a '1+1=3' synergy model for co-authorship, in which human steering and AI fluency converge to produce novel insights and polished output faster and more effectively than either could achieve alone. The findings advocate for a paradigm shift from prohibitive policies to the responsible, expert-guided integration of AI in academic research and writing, grounded in transparency and accountability, and present arguments for why the AI tool should be listed as a co-author despite current injunctions against such practice
Biblical connotations in Marius von Mayenburgʼs plays
No full textMarius von Mayenburgʼs plays provide a critique of contemporary society, which is replete with violence and conformity. The playwright refers to the so‑called ‘new realism,’ and also incorporates elements of the post‑dramatic theatre. Biblical motifs in contemporary literature, including German literature, have recently lost their popularity; however, they have not disappeared altogether. They continue to be a source of inspiration for artists across various domains. Marius von Mayenburg is no exception, as he fearlessly incorporates and reinterprets these motifs, harnessing their universal messages in his plays. This paper aims to trace biblical motifs and determine their function in three well‑known plays by the author: Parasiten, Märtyrer and Mars

History of Medicine #25: Race: a history of a bad idea
No full textUpstream, the BAME Action Group and the Working Group on the History of Race and Eugenics are pleased to invite you to a book launch: Historicizing Race by Marius Turda and Maria Sophie Quine (Bloomsbury, 2018). Co-author Marius Turda will introduce the book and read a few extracts. In response Sasha Coutinho, International Relations and Business Management, and Graham van Wyk, OBI, will reflect on the contribution the book makes in understanding the idea of “race” and its implications today. The event will be chaired by Syed Imam, History. We invite you to participate in what will be a lively discussion of the idea of “race” across history, and which unfortunately, is still making history! "To be black was to confront, and to be forced to alter, a condition forged in history. To be white was to be forced to digest a delusion called white supremacy", James Baldwin, ‘Dark days’ 198
TO PUBLISH A DENIGRATING VOLUME DURING THE COMMUNIST REGIME: AFTER FIFTY YEARS, AUTHOR: MARIUS MIRCU
No full textInnovative ideas were seldom appreciated by the communist dictatorial regime, all the more so as they were a critique of the system. The idealism of the romantic period of communism, when some of those who suffered in previous eras joined the beliefs promoted by politicians, was radically transformed when the true intentions came to light. Isolated in the circle of the loved ones, one of the few places where he could express his true thoughts and feelings, Marius Mircu took refuge in writing, believing that irony and satire, the weapons of literature he mastered so well, would help him mask the true meaning of his words from the volume După cincizeci de ani [After Fifty Years]. The purpose of our study is to illustrate his efforts to publish this volume during the communist period, the reactions of the state authorities, and the actions taken against the author
