Around 1900, German and Austrian actresses had allure and status, apparent autonomy, and unconventional lifestyles. They presented a complex problem socially and aesthetically, one tied to the so-called Woman Question and to the contested status of modernity. For modernists, the actress's socioeconomic mobility and defiance of gender norms opened space to contest social and moral strictures, and her mutability offered a means to experiment with identity. For conservatives, on the other hand, female performance could support antifeminist convictions and validate masculine authority by positing woman as nothing but a false surface shaped by productive male forces. Influential male-authored texts from the period thereby disavowed female subjectivity per se by equating "woman" and "actress." S. E. Jackson establishes the actress as a key figure in a discursive matrix surrounding modernity, gender, and subjectivity. Her central argument is that because the figure of the actress bridged such varied fields of thought, women who were actresses had a consequential impact that resonated in and far beyond the theater - but has not been explored. Examining archival sources such as theater reviews and writing by actresses in direct relation to canonical aesthetic and philosophical texts, The Problem of the Actress reconstructs the constitutive role that womenplayed on and off the stage in shaping not only modernist theater aesthetics and performance practices, but also influential strains of modern thought.

A Stage for Debate presents a detailed analysis of the repertoire of the leading German-language stage of the nineteenth century, Vienna’s Burgtheater. The book explores the extent to which the Burgtheater repertoire contributed to important political and cultural debates on individual liberty, the role of women in society, and the understanding of national and regional identity. The relevance of the Burgtheater as a forum for political debate is assessed not by the degree to which the performed plays transgressed established norms, but by the range of positions that were voiced on a given topic. Martin Wagner investigates the roughly 1,000 plays from across Europe that were introduced to the Burgtheater’s repertoire between 1814 and 1867 by combining a general overview with detailed interpretations of especially successful plays. Wagner reveals that the Burgtheater was significantly more involved in contemporary debates than the stereotype of this stage as an artistically refined but apolitical institution suggests. Drawing from theatre studies and German and Austrian studies more broadly, A Stage for Debate revises the history of one of Europe’s leading theatres.

It is against this background of the theater's high prestige as a forum for ideas, as the summit of the literary arts, as the place where all the arts coalesce in a Wagnerian 'Gesamtkunstwerk' or dialectically oppose and ironize each other in Brechtian epic 'alienation, ' of the drama as a method of thought, of concrete philosophizing, that the astounding wealth of critical and theoretical writings about drama and theater that the German-speaking world has produced over the last two hundred and fifty years must be seen and appreciated.

Die aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Debatten um Fragen der Teilhabe von Frauen im Kultur- und Medienbetrieb sind nicht so neu, wie sie angesichts ihrer Dringlichkeit bisweilen erscheinen mögen. Das Arbeiten von Frauen wurde schon in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts kontrovers diskutiert, denn hier traten Frauen in neuartige Beschäftigungsfelder im Bereich der Medien und Künste ein. Der Sammelband unternimmt eine Spurensuche nach Akteur*innen innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Medien- und Kulturlandschaft dieser Zeit: Unter dem Stichwort ,Arbeiten' beleuchtet er einerseits Kunstwerke, Medienerzeugnisse und technische Fertigkeiten, andererseits die institutionellen und gesellschaftlichen Rahmungen solcher von Frauen geleisteter Arbeiten. Aus dieser doppelten Perspektive und mit Blick auf Arbeitsbereiche in Zirkus, Theater, Musik, Film, Rundfunk, Verlagswesen und Fotografie untersuchen die Autor*innen, welche Chancen Frauen ergriffen, gegen welche Widerstände sie anzukämpfen hatten und mit welchen Mitteln sie beides taten. Immer wieder geraten dabei Quellen in den Blick, die die Sicht auf die Vergangenheit ebenso freigeben wie sie diese zu verhüllen vermögen. Ihrerseits selbst Medienerzeugnisse der Zeit, werden diese Quellen folglich daraufhin beleuchtet, welche Tätigkeiten und welche Akteur*innen sie dokumentieren, was und wen sie verschweigen oder verstellen, wie sie bestehende Geschlechterbilder konterkarieren oder bestätigen. Angelegt als medienhistorische Analysen und biografische Miniaturen stellen die Beiträge des Sammelbands vielseitig dar, wie und unter welchen Bedingungen Frauen als Zirkus- und Theaterkünstlerin, als Rundfunkarchivarin und Filmregisseurin, als Musikproduzentin, Schriftstellerin, Telefonistin oder Clubbetreiber*in tätig waren. Mit Beiträgen von Carolyn Birdsall, Theresa Eisele, Hannah Eßler, Mirjam Hildbrand / För Künkel, Georg Kasch, Sofía Letier, Jingwen Li, Viktoria Maillard / Nicola Reißer, Friederike Oberkrome, Marlo Pichler / Eva Steffgen, Larissa Schüller, Lotte Schüßler und Sarah Stührenberg.
