Routledge Revivals: Bertolt Brecht: Dialectics, Poetry, Politics by Peter Brooker
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1138245127 | 271 Pages | PDF | 43.6 MB
First published in 1988, this books argues with received accounts to reclaim Brecht’s emphasis on his self-described ‘dialectical theatre’, re-examining firstly the concepts of Gestus and Verfremdung and their realisation in Brecht’s poetry in terms of his attempt to consciously apply the methods of dialectical materialism to art and cultural practice.
