Brecht and Mei Lanfang

As I believe that historical facts remain foundational to our studies and unde…
Verfremdungseffekt or Entfremdungseffekt ? A Study of Brecht’s Manuscripts on Chinese Theatre
It is well known that Bertolt Brecht’s concept of Verfremdungseffekt was first used in his famous essay on Chinese theatre, “Verfremdungseffekte in der chinesischen Schauspielkunst” [Alienation/estrangement effects in the Chinese art of acting]. Brecht’s essay was completed in 1936 but was not published in German until 1957, one year after his death. 1 It became the text basis of John Willett’s English translation published in 1964. 2 Nevertheles…

Through extensive research into the related archival material, as well as contemporary records, this article investigates the historical facts and circu…

"Alienation-Effect" for Whom? Brecht's (Mis)interpretation of the Classical Chinese Theatre
Few Western theatre artists have been as celebrated for their appreciation of Asian theatre aesthetics as has Bertolt Brecht, who, among other things, used his understanding of Mei Lanfang's acting as afoundation for his highly influential theory of the Alienation-effect. Tian looks closely at Brecht's comprehension of Chinese theatre and finds that the German playwright-director was considerably off base. Min Tian holds a doctorate from China's …
