Description

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Kunst - Allgemeines; Kunsttheorie; Note: 1;3; Technische Universitauml;t Dresden (Institut fuuml;r Romanistik); Veranstaltung: Proseminar: Dresden Italien; 17 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: bdquo;Es war nicht bloszlig; ein neues Schauspiel fuuml;r Sinne und Geist; nicht bloszlig; ein neuer Inhalt des Wissens. Es war eine ganz andere Art des Wissens; eine Erkenntnis aus Dingen statt aus Buuml;chern; eine Erkenntnis aus Anschauung und Empfindung; statt aus Worten und Begriffen. Diesen Unterschied brachte sich Winckelmann damals mit Leidenschaft zum Bewuszlig;tsein: er wurde zu entscheidendem Einfluszlig; auf sein Leben. In dieser neuen Welt findet er endlich sein neues Element. [...] Indem er sich selbst findet; fuuml;hlt er zum ersten Mal auch den Antrieb; ouml;ffentlich zu sprechen. Schlummernde Krauml;fte treten nun hervor; und indem der Erfolg das Selbstgefuuml;hl weckt; geht ihm das Dasein neu auf; er tritt in das aufgeregte Leben der Kuuml;nstlerkreise ein: er fuuml;hlt sich zum ersten Mal frei und gluuml;cklich. Im dankbaren Gefuuml;hl dieser seiner Wiedergeburt nennt er noch spauml;ter; von Rom aus; Sachsen sein geliebtes Land; ja er wirft sich eine Passion; bdquo;eine fanatische Liebe gegen Sachsenldquo; vor.ldquo; In meiner Hausarbeit uuml;ber Winckelmann; Antikensehnsucht und Dresdner Antikenkauml;ufe im 18. Jahrhundert; gebe ich einen Einblick in die Zeit des Augusteischen Zeitalters; erklauml;re die Bedeutung der Antike fuuml;r Dresden und beschreibe das Leben Winckelmanns; das durch Antikensehnsucht; Dresden und seinen Italienaufenthalt stark geprauml;gt wurde.1. Geschichtlicher Hintergrund1.1 Die Wiedergeburt der Antike Zur Zeit der Renaissance; mit dem Auffinden bedeutender antiker Kunstschauml;tze ; erwachte in Italien das Interesse an der eigenen Vergangenheit. Man studierte Literatur; Architektur und Kunst; alles was Auskunft uuml;ber Macht und Schouml;nheit des groszlig;en Rouml;mischen Reiches gab. Die Vorstellungen von der perfekt organisierten Gesellschaft und der weitentwickelten Wissenschaft erweckten eine Sehnsucht nach der alten Lebensweise. Man kopierte Literatur; Architektur und Kunst; und lieszlig; damit die Antike wieder aufleben.

Larger than lifeBy ilprofessoreStella Adler was a force in the American theater. a larger than life actress. acting coach. the only American actress to have studied with Stanislavski. the mentor of Marlon Brando. the wife of Harold Clurman. This book. edited from the transcripts of lectures she gave to students in California. is more than a series of lessons on how to perform the plays of Americas greatest playwrights--ONeill. Miller. Williams. Inge. Odets and Albee--it is also an invaluable history book of a countrys ideals and dreams. mistakes and suppressions. and how they found expression through the handful of dramatists who managed somehow to have their voices heard on the commercial stage of Broadway. Adler contends that to gain the American dream of fame and success a writer or an actor must know his or her countrys history: when and why these classic plays were written. who were the men who had the courage to speak out. and how they reflected their moment in American time. She encourages her student actors to be big. big as the country. to make the theater a forum for unpleasant truths rather than escapism and mindless entertainment. In the course of these talks. Stella is never too modest to remind you how bright. talented. sexy and irresistible she was; how he knew everyone who was anyone. and what she said to them and they said to her. Those who are not actors will delight in the backstage gossip. and the sense of excitement all those bright young people of her generation felt because they sincerely believed that their voices. their theater. would change the world. Reading the book. you are left with the feeling that once upon a time giants walked. if not the earth. at least on that stretch of New York City where plays were performed and people paid to learn about themselves. Those days may be over. Those who remember them or wish for their return will find no better guide book to Americas golden age of theater than this amazing document of a life fully lived.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The Gold StandardBy T. BarksdaleI have seldom read a book that brought such an equal measure of enjoyment and learning. Ms. Adlers book provides the equivalent of a college semester of lectures and research on Americas master playwrights. But the verve. perception. and personality in the words provide the real joy. She not only presents the essence of the playwrights works; because she believes that an actors knowledge of the social and political environment in which the plays take place is the absolute core of good acting. she provides invaluable historical nuggets on each of the eras covered in the plays.Stella Adler proves she is truly one of a kind. Her insights on acting. for this layman on the subject. adds a unique dimension that draws the reader in and keeps him enthralled. The advice of this native Southerner: Want to read one of the best. concise synopses ever written of what the term "Southern culture" really means? Forget W.J. Cashs seminal work. "The Mind of the South." Read Stella Adlers review of Tennessee Williams "Summer and Smoke" in this book.Anyone who reads this book will come away a Stella Adler fan. her name high on the list of "people I wish I had known." No wonder a generation of Americas leading actors. led by Marlon Brando. virtually worshiped her. She was a national treasure. and the two books preserving her lectures are. too.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This is a perfect follow-up to the first volume on IbsenBy BSTIMELESSThis is a perfect follow-up to the first volume on Ibsen. Strindberg and Chekhov. There was and will never be another Stella Adler. Her voice. in each of these brilliant books. comes through quite strongly. They have changed my thinking in the most wondrous way. She proves that she is simply one of the greatest acting teachers of our time. and unrivaled in terms of script analysis. Barry Paris and Victoria Wilson deserve a lot of praise for putting these together so well. Stella Adler was epic. A force of nature and a powerful teacher. Absolutely thrilling!!!
