Beschreibungen/Notizen
This article offers a detailed analysis of individual scenes in "Furcht und Elend des III." "Reiches" by Brecht, considered in the context of the critical debates about Realism conducted in the exile journals "Das Wort and Internationale Literatur" in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s. While Lukács and his clique welcomed the work as a collection of one-act plays in the style of Socialist Realism, Brecht conceived it as a piece of Epic Theatre consisting of a highly structured montage of interconnecting scenes with only a superficial resemblance to Socialist Realist drama. Techniques of defamiliarization ("Verfremdung)" are also shown to play a major role in presenting a critical, often satirical, picture of German behaviour during the Third Reich.
