The Stage as Palimpsest

Dr. Karoline Johanna Baumann

doi:10.5771/9783956504662

Summary

Die Studie untersucht frühneuzeitliche Epochenkonzepte mit dem Ziel einer kritischen Hinterfragung des Selbstverständnisses der Neuzeit und der damit verbundenen, das Mittelalter marginalisierenden Periodisierungskonzepte. Sie zeigt, wie auf der frühneuzeitlichen Bühne Begriffe von Zeit und Zeitlichkeit durchgespielt werden, für die die Vorstellung von Linearität und Fortschrittsgeschichtsschreibung, die unseren Epochenbegriffen zugrunde liegt, zu kurz greift. Vielmehr legen beide Stücke, auf antiken Quellen basierend, aber sowohl im Mittelalter als auch in der Neuzeit vielfach umgeschrieben und neu interpretiert, einen palimpsestartigen Zeitbegriff nahe. Ein Palimpsest enthält verschiedene Zeitstufen nicht in sukzessiver oder chronologischer Anordnung, sondern unhierarchisch neben- und übereinandergelagert. So wird die Frage nach der Epochenkonstruktion bei Shakespeare performativ gestellt, mit besonderem Fokus auf der Erfindung des Mittelalters.
