Overview

The Brecht Yearbook, published by Camden House on behalf of the International Brecht Society, is the central scholarly forum for the study of Brecht's life and work and of topics relevant to him. Volume 50 begins with a conversation about the recently published collection of interviews with Brecht and a personal chronicle of the publication history of the 30-volume edition of Brecht's works. The contributions featuring new research cover a wide range of topics related to Brecht, including his use of ""pastology""; racialization in his early plays; the 1932 production of The Mother as a women's counter-campaign against Nazi misogyny; the first English-language productions of Señora Carrar's Rifles in 1938; an unrealized African-American production of The Threepenny Opera in the early 1940s; the first French translation of the Short Organon for the Theatre in 1955; and the connection of his ideas to a pedagogy of revolution, Mark Fisher's concept of ""capitalist realism,"" and interreligious dialogue. Edited by Elena Pnevmonidou and Markus Wessendorf. Book reviews edited by Noah Willumsen. Contributors: Martin Brady, Laura Ginters, Helen Hughes, Torben Ibs, Liam Johnston-McCondach, Sabrina Kanthak, Sabine Kebir, Jan Knopf, Sean Larson, Jakob Ribič, Hanife Schulte, Vera Stegmann, and Noah Willumsen.
