Kirsten Wechsel (ed.) in cooperation with Lill-Ann Körber:
Strindberg and His Media

Proceedings of the 15th International Strindberg Conference

Zum Titel

The essays which make up this volume focus Strindberg’s use of contemporary media for his aesthetic and scientific experiments, they discuss the functions of media and their discursive constructions as they are reflected in his writings. As the contributions in this volume demonstrate, Strindberg’s occupation with the media of his time is closely linked to the modern crises of identity, masculinity, language, representation and perception. Thus Strindberg’s writings can be regarded as an interface between media discourses and other social, scientific and aesthetic discourses.

Textauszug | Preface

In recent years Media Studies have focussed the 19th century for research on the theoretical and conceptual foundations of today’s electronic media. The 19th century not only brought a boom of new media technology, as photography, cinematography, gramophone and telefone made their appearance. The new media also had an effect on contemporary scientific, public and aesthetic discourses. It is therefore obvious that Media Studies added new accents to the study of August Strindberg, as a number of publications on Strindberg’s experiments with different media such as painting, music, photography and the laterna magica demonstrate. 

The essays which make up this volume were originally delivered at the 15th International Strindberg Conference on ›Strindberg and His Media‹, organized by the Nordeuropa-Institut in Berlin in September 2001. The aim of the conference was to further a debate on Strindberg and his media, which only recently has turned from an interest in Strindberg’s use of contemporary media for his aesthetic and scientific experiments to their functions and discursive constructions as they are reflected in his writings. As the contributions in this volume demonstrate, Strindberg’s occupation with the media of his time is closely linked to the modern crises of identity, masculinity, language, representation and perception. Thus Strindberg’s writings can be regarded as an interface between media discourses and other social, scientific and aesthetic discourses.
