    The second volume on the Austrian excavations of the years 1975-1980 on the acropolis of Aigeira aims at a reconstruction of the post-palatial Mycenaean settlement, based on stratigraphy and findings. Spatial analyses were executed on the basis of distribution patterns of installations as well as small finds, pithoi and pottery in situ showing a settlement consisting of households based on family structures which are characterized by storage, production of goods and feasting. Furthermore, the social grade of the inhabitants is underlined by a cult room as well as a fortification evident for a late phase of the settlement.

    Beilagenmappe: e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1469 Der zweite Faszikel zu den österreichischen Ausgrabungen der Jahre 1975-1980 auf der Akropolis von Aigeira hat zum Ziel, die postpalatiale mykenische Siedlung, basierend auf der Stratigraphie und den Befunden, zu rekonstruieren. Die anhand der Installationen, Kleinfunde, Pithoi und der in situ angetroffenen Keramikgefäße vorgenommenen Raumanalysen ergaben das Bild von auf Familienstrukturen basierenden Haushalten, die sich durch Lagerhaltung, Produktion von Gütern und Abhalten von Festen auszeichnen. Gleichzeitig wird der gehobene soziale Status der Bewohner durch einen Kultraum sowie durch eine für die Spätphase der Siedlung fassbare Befestigung unterstrichen.

  2. Crisis and Legitimacy in Atlantic American Narratives of Piracy, 1678-1865

    The book traces the construction and function of the pirate in transatlantic American literature from the late 17th century to the Civil War, exploring in what ways the cultural imaginary teased out the pirate’s ambivalent potential as a figure of both identification and Othering, and how it has been used to negotiate ideas of legitimacy. The study recasts piracy as a discursive category moving in a continuum between the propagation of (post-)colonial adventure and accumulation on the one hand and critical commentary on exploitation and oppression on the other. Reading piracy narratives as symptomatic of various crisis scenarios in the US context, the book examines how the pirate was imbued with (de)legitimatory meaning during such periods in both elite and popular texts. Die Studie zeichnet die Konstruktion und Funktion des Piraten in der transatlantisch-amerikanischen Erzählliteratur vom späten 17. Jahrhundert bis zum Sezessionskrieg nach und untersucht, wie das ambivalente Potential der Figur zwischen Identifikation und Alterisierung genutzt wurde, um Vorstellungen von Legitimität und Macht zur Verhandlung zu stellen. Das Buch begreift Piraterie als diskursive Kategorie im Kontinuum zwischen Propagierung (post-)kolonialen Abenteuers und Akkumulation einerseits und kritischem Kommentar zu Ausbeutung und Unterdrückung andererseits. Piratenerzählungen werden als symptomatisch im Kontext verschiedener kolonialer und nationaler Krisenszenarien verstanden, die u.a. Sklaverei, Geschlecht oder Identität zur Diskussion stellen.

    Generative Picturing uses photography as a relational, ambivalent and undisciplined medium for education and research. Wir alle sind Fotografie! – Wir fotografieren, betrachten Fotos, sind darauf abgebildet und verwenden sie. Die Fotografie berührt und verstört, sie verbindet und trennt, sie beweist und ist vieldeutig.

    Das Beziehungshafte, das Ambivalente und die Undiszipliniertheit – als wesentliche Eigenschaften der Fotografie – werden in der Generativen Bildarbeit für Bildungs- und Forschungsprozesse genutzt. Die Fotografie wird dabei zum transdisziplinären Praxisfeld, in dem Menschen Fotos machen, diese in Gruppenprozessen zeigen und miteinander in Dialog treten. Auf prozesshafte und partizipative Weise gelangen dabei die Beteiligten und ihre generativen Themen in den Fokus. Anhand ihrer Bilder, beim Betrachten und Diskutieren darüber, erkunden sie die eigene Wahrnehmung und die „der Anderen“, hinterfragen die Kategorien „Eigen“ und „Fremd“ und die sozialen Grenzziehungen, die damit verbunden sind.

    Forschen und Lernen gehen dabei Hand in Hand und werden als Erkenntnis- und Transformationsprozesse wirksam.

    Durch Generative Bildarbeit wird die Fotografie als beziehungshaftes, ambivalentes und undiszipliniertes Medium für Bildungs- und Forschungsprozesse zum Einsatz gebracht.

    Approaches to world literature often think through binaries of local/global,

    major/minor, provincial/cosmopolitan, taking them as given positions on a single world map.

    To an extent, this is true of Amitav Ghosh’s prize-winning essay “The testimony of my

    grandfather’s bookcase” (1998), which reflects on his grandfather’s collection of world

    literature books to think about the relationship between his grandfather’s provincial location

    in Calcutta and the world. Yet in The Shadow Lines Ghosh takes a much more complex and

    interesting approach to space, the world, perception and narration. In the novel’s complex

    narration, space, time, and self always appeared mirrored through other people, times, and

    spaces. Places also acquire reality and meaning only after they are first narrated and imagined,

    often several times, and before they are experienced directly. This is a stance that has deep

    existential but also epistemological implications that go beyond “simply” critiquing colonial

    and national border-making. This essay explores how (and which) spaces become

    “significant” in the novel, and how the novel’s approach to space can be productive for

    thinking about world literature.

    This book is the first monographic study of nineteenth-century transcriptions of Chopin's music. The work is based on the quantitatively and qualitatively rich source material, which formed the basis for considerations from the perspective of social history, music analysis and aesthetics. Thanks to these multiple perspectives, as well as the time range and the source base, this study may contribute to the history of the reception of Chopin’s work in nineteenth-century culture; it may also prove significant in overcoming the attitude that aesthetically deprecates transcriptions and in adopting a different stance, regarding such adaptations as valuable texts of musical culture.

    The topic of this book is practical knowledge in early modern Europe, interpreted widely as recipes containing art procedures or medical panaceas between 1400 and 1700. In this book, the 1) origin or creation, 2) transmission or dissemination, and 3) use or consumption are key subjects for understanding the place of practical knowledge in early modern European society. After a historiographical and theoretical approach, this book applies Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizome metaphor to art technological literature. The first part ends with a study about medical practitioners and mediators who disseminate practical knowledge through the printing press. The second part of the book is entirely dedicated to the bookletA Very Proper Treatise (1573), using a microhistory approach to study it.

    From the perspective of Latin American Studies, this volume offers a critical contribution to the current debate on world literature. It is structured around three conceptual blocks: gatekeepers, as the dispositives and actors mediating the international circulation of literature translation, as an unavoidable but always problematic mechanism and local literatures, as modes of writing that remain intrinsically tied to their contexts.

    The twelfth century witnessed the birth of modern Western European literary tradition: major narrative works appeared in both French and in German, founding a literary culture independent of the Latin traditions of the church and Roman Antiquity. What gave rise to the sudden interest in and legitimization of literature in these “vulgar tongues?” Until now, the answer has centered on the somewhat nebulous role of new female readers. Powell argues that this explanation is neither adequately documented nor sufficient to its object; and more importantly, a different appraisal of the same evidence offers a window onto something far more momentous: not “women readers” but instead a reading act conceived of as female lies behind the polysemic identification of women as the audience of new media in the twelfth century. This woman is at the center of a re-conception of Christian knowing, a veritable revolution in the mediation of knowledge and truth. By following this figure through detailed readings of key early works, Powell unveils a surprise, a new poetics of the body meant to embrace the capacities of new audiences and viewers of medieval literature and visual art.

    The book describes the system of communist censorship in Poland in the years 1948–1958, as well as its effects on the development of literature. It is the first literary studies work which takes up the subject in such broad and systematic terms. The book is divided into three main parts: an attempt at synthesis (theory and practice of censorship), special cases (censorship of specific writers), authorial strategies (the authors’ ways of dealing with censorship) and contexts. The most important conclusion which can be drawn from the research is that out of many small changes emerges an image of a very significant one. Numerous small cuts and alterations build up to an image of Polish literature of the 1940s and 1950s as a whole. A whole that was always dependant on and subservient to politics.

  10. Sampling in der Musikproduktion : Das Spannungsfeld zwischen Urheberrecht und Kreativität

    20 years of dispute over one and a half seconds of copied music? The dispute in the »Metal on Metal« (German: »Metall auf Metall«) case between the music group Kraftwerk and the composer Moses Pelham even occupied the European Court of Justice in 2019. It shows that copyright has become a socially contentious issue that has pushed its way out of the niche of the artistic sphere and into the everyday lives of almost everyone. This process has not gone unnoticed by academia, and yet academia is only just beginning to understand the implications and effects of this copyright expansion in more detail. Sociologist Georg Fischer provides the first empirical study of sampling in music that explicitly examines the impact of German copyright law on creative practice. He shows the abundance and diversity of creative circumvention strategies that have spread and taken root in the shadow of copyright law – and with which artists necessarily limit their own visibility as well as the aesthetic complexity and monetary exploitation of their works. 20 Jahre Streit um eineinhalb Sekunden kopierte Musik? Die Auseinandersetzung im Fall »Metall auf Metall« zwischen der Musikgruppe Kraftwerk und dem Komponisten Moses Pelham beschäftigte 2019 sogar den Europäischen Gerichtshof. Sie zeigt, dass das Urheberrecht zu einem gesellschaftlichen Streitthema geworden ist, das sich aus der Nische des künstlerischen Bereichs in den Alltag nahezu aller Menschen gedrängt hat. Dieser Prozess lief nicht unbemerkt von der Wissenschaft ab und dennoch ist diese gerade erst dabei, die Implikationen und Effekte dieser urheberrechtlichen Ausdehnung genauer zu verstehen. Der Soziologe Georg Fischer liefert die erste empirische Studie zum Sampling in der Musik, die explizit den Einfluss des deutschen Urheberrechts auf die kreative Praxis untersucht. Er zeigt die Fülle und Vielfalt an kreativen Umgehungsstrategien, die sich im Schatten des Urheberrechts ausgebreitet und verankert haben – und mit denen die Künstler_innen die eigene Sichtbarkeit sowie die ästhetische Komplexität und monetäre Verwertung ihrer Werke notgedrungen einschränken.

    Wie konstituieren sich Gedichtbände – nach dem freien Vers – zu einem ästhetischen Ganzen? Anhand dreier Analysen von Gedichtbänden seit 2000 lote ich unter dem Paradigma formaler Wiederholung unabhängig von traditionellen Parametern wie Reim und Metrum Varianten der Konstituierung und Darstellung ästhetischer Ganzheit aus. So unterschiedlich die drei untersuchten AutorInnen – Ulf Stolterfoht, Oswald Egger und Monika Rinck – auch arbeiten, ihre Bücher (fachsprachen, nihilum album, Honigprotokolle) sind geprägt von formalen Gesamtkonzepten, die ich entsprechend unter den Bezeichnungen Populationen und branding, Zeit-Räume und Verortung sowie Protokollieren und Fest-schreiben zu erschliessen versuche. Trotz ihrer Unterschiedlichkeit spielt, so der methodische Leitgedanke, in allen drei Fällen das Denkmodell einer gegensätzlichen Gleichzeitigkeit von Kontinuität und Diskontinuität, das ich in Anlehnung an den evolutionstheoretischen Begriff des punctuated equilibrium herausarbeite, eine prägende Rolle. Dieses Denkmodell verbinde ich in der Folge mit den Begriffen einer kontinuierlichen Praxis des Denkens bzw. Schreibens und eines diskontinuierlichen Artefakts, deren Gegensätzlichkeit sich in der Gesamtdarstellung der jeweiligen Gedichtbände widerspiegelt. Unter dieser Voraussetzung trete ich an die Gedichtbände mit einer synchronen Methodik heran, sodass ich mich unter Ausschluss der diachronen, d.h. werkhistorischen, Perspektive auf die immanente Systematik der Bände konzentrieren kann. In der Wiederholung als Bedingung einer solchen Systematik finde ich die zeitweilige Stabilisierung einer Praxis, die ebenso Bedingung der poetischen Produktion wie Bedingung ihrer differenziellen Modifikation ist. Im Rückbezug auf das punctuated equilibrium taucht der Rhythmus des Wechselspiels zwischen der Kontinuität einer stabilen Praxis und der Diskontinuität einer Modifikation dieser Praxis als Grundmotiv auf.

    Dieses Buch setzt sich mit Robert Walsers letzter Publikation, bestehend aus 38 Prosastücken, auseinander und fragt nach dem Stellenwert, der diesen Texten innerhalb der Berner Prosa zukommt. In dieser ersten umfassenden Untersuchung zu Die Rose konzentriert sich die Autorin auf eine immanente Erschliessung der Texte – zumal das Manuskript und die Korrespondenz mit dem Rowohlt-Verlag verloren gegangen sind und das Werk in der Walser-Forschung bislang wenig beachtet worden ist. So nimmt sie Komposition, Anlage und Intention der Sammlung in den Blick, geht aber auch Fragen zu Entstehungsgeschichte und Titel nach. In einer vertieften Lektüre arbeitet sie wesentliche Aspekte einzelner Prosastücke heraus, fragt aber auch nach der Bedeutung der Texte in Walsers Œuvre. Ein Fokus liegt auf der weiblichen Figur «Edith», zeichenhaft und textranszendierend als Leserin dargestellt. Anhand dieser Figur zeigt die Autorin die Vielschichtigkeit von Walsers Schaffe

    Wie sind quantifizierende Ordnungen zeitgenössischer Kunst möglich, wenn Grundsemantiken autonomer Kunst in einem Widerspruch zu quantifizierenden Messungen und Vergleichen stehen? Obwohl sich Kunst, abgesehen von Marktanalysen, der vermeintlich umfassenden Quantifizierung der Gesellschaft zu entziehen scheint, sind zahlenbasierte Verfahren entstanden, die gerade kunstspezifische Kriterien ernst nehmen wollen. Die vorliegende Studie fragt nach der inneren Logik von solchen Rankings und institutionellen Evaluationen und ihrer Rolle für Stabilität und Wandel der Kunst. Damit werden Fälle behandelt, die aus der Kunstwelt heraus als symbolischer Grenzübertritt kritisiert werden. Hinter diese Auseinandersetzungen um adäquate oder absurde Beobachtungsweisen tritt der Autor aber zurück, um für eine systematische Annäherung an plurale Vorstellungen über Kunst in der Kunst zu argumentieren. Einerseits rekonstruiert er so empirisch an einer Künstler/innenrangliste und an Erfolgsmessungen in Kunstmuseen das paradigmatische Wissen und die konkreten Beobachtungsarchitekturen als konsistente Ordnungsweisen. Andererseits entwickelt er kunstsoziologische Theorien (Becker, Bourdieu, Luhmann) weiter durch die bewertungs- und vergleichssoziologische Einsicht, nach der jede kommunizierte Ordnung eine Welt nicht einfach darstellt, sondern eine eigene Realität selektiv herstellt und potenziell in Gesellschaft zurückwirkt. Auch wenn somit jeder Ordnungsversuch unabhängig von Zahlengebrauch analytisch gleich absurd ist, kommt den Innensichten der Kunst eine zentrale Rolle in der sozialen Selbstorganisation der Künste zu. Ausgehend von umstrittenen Ordnungsversuchen zeigt die Studie, wie Kunst sich heute vermehrt selbst als soziales Phänomen beobachtet, um Navigation durch das vermeintliche Chaos zeitgenössischer Kunst zu ermöglichen.

    The Royal Academy of Sciences was an important organization in eighteenth-century Sweden. It brought together scientists and scholars contributing to a wide spectrum of areas, encompassing nature as well as society. But it also maintained close ties to the elite and the political establishment. The academy formed part of the institutional landscape of power and functioned as a consultive body and an arena for the upper echelons of the Swedish realm. The monograph sheds light on the political and economic outlook of the Royal Academy of Sciences during the period 1739–1792 against the background of its intimate connections to the ruling stratum. Not least the Hat Party, which dominated the Swedish political scene during the Age of Liberty, and the autocratic King Gustav III. The study shows that the members of the academy overall gravitated towards traditional viewpoints and that their conceptualizations of society were substantially affected by their interactions with the power holders. While some fellows offered new ideas in line with an increasing contemporary emphasis on spontaneous societal development and the capability of individuals to act responsibly on their own accord, such notions were by no means prevalent. Moreover, the book demonstrates that neither the academy nor its members constituted a passive tool for the elite and the powers that be. Rather, they engaged in self-promotion by attributing themselves a crucial role in the project of general improvement they envisioned and added to.

    In this book, Deborah A. Starr recuperates the work of Togo Mizrahi, a pioneer of Egyptian cinema. Mizrahi, an Egyptian Jew with Italian nationality, established himself as a prolific director of popular comedies and musicals in the 1930s and 1940s. As a studio owner and producer, Mizrahi promoted the idea that developing a local cinema industry was a project of national importance. Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema integrates film analysis with film history to tease out the cultural and political implications of Mizrahi’s work. His movies, Starr argues, subvert dominant notions of race, gender, and nationality through their playful—and queer—use of masquerade and mistaken identity. Taken together, Mizrahi’s films offer a hopeful vision of a pluralist Egypt. By reevaluating Mizrahi’s contributions to Egyptian culture, Starr challenges readers to reconsider the debates over who is Egyptian and what constitutes national cinema.;“A captivating account of Egyptian film director Togo Mizrahi. Starr shows that Mizrahi’s distinct, often comical vision of Egypt captured a dramatic moment of social, political, and cultural transformation in which people of diverse backgrounds coexisted and struggled to achieve better lives.” JOEL GORDON, author of Revolutionary Melodrama: Popular Film and Civic Identity in Nasser’s Egypt;“A remarkable study of a remarkable career. Starr offers a comprehensive analysis of a life in filmmaking that adds nuance to our definition of Egyptian nationalism and enhances our appreciation of Alexandrian cinema. This is a book of recovery, reclamation, and celebration.” NANCY E. BERG, Professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature, Washington University in St. Louis

    Shotetsu monogatari was written by a disciple of Shotetsu (1381–1459), whom many scholars regard as the last great poet of the courtly tradition. The work provides information about the practice of poetry during the 14th and 15th centuries, including anecdotes about famous poets, advice on how to treat certain standard topics, and lessons in etiquette when attending or participating in poetry contests and gatherings. But unlike the many other works of that time that stop at that level, Shotetsu’s contributions to medieval aesthetics gained prominence, showing him as a worthy heir—both as poet and thinker—to the legacy of the great poet-critic Fujiwara no Teika (1162–1241). The last project of the late Robert H. Brower, Conversations with Shôtetsu provides a translation of the complete Nihon koten bungaku taikei text, as edited by Hisamatsu Sen'ichi. Steven D. Carter has annotated the translation and provided an introduction that details Shôtetsu’s life, his place in the poetic circles of his day, and the relationship of his work to the larger poetic tradition of medieval Japan. Conversations with Shotetsu is important reading for anyone interested in medieval Japanese literature and culture, in poetry, and in aesthetics. It provides a unique look at the literary world of late medieval Japan.

    This open access book provides a multi-perspective approach to the caravan trade in the Sahara during the 19th century. Based on travelogues from European travelers, recently found Arab sources, historical maps and results from several expeditions, the book gives an overview of the historical periods of the caravan trade as well as detailed information about the infrastructure which was necessary to establish those trade networks. Included are a variety of unique historical and recent maps as well as remote sensing images of the important trade routes and the corresponding historic oases. To give a deeper understanding of how those trading networks work, aspects such as culturally influenced concepts of spatial orientation are discussed. The book aims to be a useful reference for the caravan trade in the Sahara, that can be recommended both to students and to specialists and researchers in the field of Geography, History and African Studies.

    First published in Japan in 1983, this book is now a classic in modern Japanese literary studies. Covering an astonishing range of texts from the Meiji period (1868–1912), it presents sophisticated analyses of the ways that experiments in literary language produced multiple new—and sometimes revolutionary—forms of sensibility and subjectivity. Along the way, Kamei Hideo carries on an extended debate with Western theorists such as Saussure, Bakhtin, and Lotman, as well as with such contemporary Japanese critics as Karatani Kojin and Noguchi Takehiko. Transformations of Sensibility deliberately challenges conventional wisdom about the rise of modern literature in Japan and offers highly original close readings of works by such writers as Futabatei Shimei, Tsubouchi Shoyo, Higuchi Ichiyo, and Izumi Kyoka, as well as writers previously ignored by most scholars. It also provides a new critical theorization of the relationship between language and sensibility, one that links the specificity of Meiji literature to broader concerns that transcend the field of Japanese literary studies. Available in English translation for the first time, it includes a new preface by the author and an introduction by the translation editor that explain the theoretical and historical contexts in which the work first appeared.

    This volume presents 18 eighteen essays, written by scholars from six countries, on Tanizaki Jun’ichiro (1886–1965), one of the great writers of the 20th century. The essays were originally prepared for a landmark international symposium in Venice in 1995, at which 22 speakers addressed an audience of about two hundred students and scholars in the Aula Magna of the University of Venice. Topics include Tanizaki’s fiction, plays, and film scenarios; his aesthetics; his place in Japanese intellectual history; his depiction of the West; his use of humor; and film adaptations of his works. In 1964 Tanizaki was elected to honorary membership in the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the first Japanese to be so honored; and it is widely believed that he was being considered for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

    Two Twelfth-Century Texts on Chinese Painting presents two texts in translation that provide dual insight into the Painting Academy of Emperor Hui-tsung and the literati school of painting. The Shan-shui ch’un-ch’uan chi is a treatise for beginning landscape painters dated to the Hsüan-ho era. The treatise was written by Han Cho, a reputed member of the Academy, but the text was not specifically directed at Academicians. The treatise collects and orders previous writings on landscape painting; one of Han Cho’s main goals is to list all landscape definitions and their practical application in painting. Yet his view is more detached and analytical than a stereotypical Academy painter, revealing an approach reminiscent of Confucian scholarship and literati painting as well. The Hua-chi by Teng Ch’un is a history of painting that was written as a sequel to two earlier painting histories. In ten chapters, Teng Ch’un compiles facts and critical evaluations of painters from 1075 to 1167, as well as listings of selected masterpieces. Teng Ch’un provides more specific information about the Academy than Han Cho, discussing its organization and examination system, and noting that “form-likeness” and adherence to rules were leading standards for painting in the Academy. On the other hand, he thinks that painting should transmit “soul,” not just “form.” Thus, Teng Ch’un writes the history of both the establishment values of the Academy and the intellectual tendencies of the literati.

    This Open Access book is an anthropological urban study of the Emirate of Dubai, its institutions, and their evolution. It provides a contemporary history of disability in city planning from a non-Western perspective and explores the cultural context for its positioning. Three insights inform the author’s approach. First, disability research, much like other urban or social issues, must be situated in a particular place. Second, access and inclusion forms a key part of both local and global planning issues. Third, a 21st century planning education should take access and inclusion into consideration by applying a disability lens to the empirical, methodological, and theoretical advances of the field. By bridging theory and practice, this book provides new insights on inclusive city planning and comparative urban theory. This book should be read as part of a larger struggle to define and assert access; it’s a story of how equity and justice are central themes in building the cities of the future and of today.

    Reminiscent narratives on Eastern, Central Eastern and Southeastern Europe and their investigation from a comparative literary perspective are the core of the volume Trauma - Generations - Narrative. With recourse to trauma theories and the concept of postmemory, the authors ask what effect traumatic experiences have on subsequent generations in the mirror of literature. Traumatic experiences, family memories, and the consequences of wars and other human-made catastrophes are the focus of the book, along with narrative techniques. The abundance and diversity of literary texts as well as their broad reception attest to the current productivity of literature with a post-memorial orientation, whose function and dynamics are particularly explored by the considerations bundled here. / Nacherinnernde Narrative zum ost-, ostmittel- und südosteuropäischen Raum und ihre Untersuchung aus komparatistisch-literaturwissenschaftlicher Sicht sind der Kern des Bandes Trauma – Generationen – Erzählen. Mit Rückgriff auf Traumatheorien sowie das Konzept der Postmemory fragen die Autorinnen und Autoren nach dem Fortwirken traumatischer Erfahrungen in nachfolgenden Generationen im Spiegel der Literatur. Traumatisches Erleben, Familiengedächtnisse sowie die Folgen von Kriegen und anderen von Menschen gemachten Katastrophen stehen dabei neben erzählerischen Verfahren im Mittelpunkt. Die Fülle und Vielfalt literarischer Texte belegen ebenso wie deren breite Rezeption die aktuelle Produktivität von Literatur mit postmemorialer Ausrichtung, deren Funktion und Dynamik die hier gebündelten Überlegungen insbesondere nachgehen.

    Traditionally, criticism of plays from the Yüan Dynasty (1260–1368) has been dominated by the so-called poetic and socialist schools. Double Jeopardy instead rigorously evaluates a group of plays by aesthetic criteria generated from within the works themselves. It examines seven courtroom plays with special attention to language and the manipulation of dramatic characters—undoubtedly the most reliable indicators of the playwright’s strength and craftsmanship in such a stylized art form as Yüan tsa-chü drama. The analytical method adopted in Double Jeopardy is textual explication of the conventions of genre and the individual characteristics of each play. The innovation and creative vitality of each playwright emerges through close scrutiny of selected conventional aspects of courtroom dramas: the functions and placement patterns of lyric, verse, and prose as well as the custom of a single singing role and its implication for the presentation of dramatis personae. Because Yüan drama is driven by conventions, Perng demonstrates a method that can be applied not just to judgment reversal plays but to Yüan dramatic criticism as a whole. In pursuing a method of textual explication, Perng provides a basis on which a larger framework of criticism of Yüan drama may be built.
