Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Mediengeschichte; Note: 2;0; Freie Universitauml;t Berlin (Institut fuuml;r Publizistik- und Kommunikationswissenschaft); Veranstaltung: Ausgewauml;hlte Quellen zur Geschichte der ouml;ffentlichen Kommunikation; 14 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: Bereits die ersten periodischen Druckschriften des 17. Jahrhunderts lassen erkennen; dass die Zeitung seit jeher der Stadt bedurfte. Nicht nur; weil ihr die wachsenden Einwohnerzahlen einen geeigneten Absatzmarkt verschafften und Druckereien eine ausreichende ouml;konomische Grundlage fanden; sondern auch; weil der regelmauml;szlig;ige Postverkehr den damaligen Zeitungsschreibern genuuml;gend bdquo;einkommende Nachrichtenldquo; versprach; die sie sammeln und fortan publizieren konnten. Dabei lag Berlin als Zeitungsstandort guuml;nstig in der Mitte der Mark Brandenburg und konnte zudem Straszlig;en- und Schifffahrtsverbindungen vorweisen; die aus allen Teilen Europas zusammenliefen. So kam es; dass das erste Wochenblatt nicht etwa in Paris oder London erschien; sondern ausgerechnet in der Stadt; die unter den groszlig;en Weltstauml;dten eine der juuml;ngsten; bdquo;als Zeitungsstadt [jedoch ...] eine der auml;ltesten [...] der Weltldquo; war. Wenn sich die vorliegende Arbeit also ausgerechnet mit der bdquo;Vossische Zeitungldquo; beschauml;ftigt; dann nicht nur; weil sie die Deutsche Presselandschaft bedeutend mitgeprauml;gt hat; sondern auch; weil sie sich 317 Jahre lang stets als Berliner Lokalblatt verstand.Dabei soll in erster Linie ihre Lokalberichterstattung analysiert werden; um herauszufinden; welche Bedeutung diese fuuml;r den Leser der damaligen Zeit besaszlig;; welche Themenbereiche sie anschnitt und welchen Verauml;nderungen bzw. Abgrenzungsproblemen sie ausgesetzt war. Um eine derartige diachronische Betrachtungsweise vorzunehmen; ist es sinnvoll; einen relativ langen Untersuchungszeitraum zu wauml;hlen; der nachfolgend zwischen 1800 und 1871 liegen soll - dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts und der Gruuml;ndung des Deutschen Kaiserreiches.

Eminently playable; expertly constructedBy Alistair NewtonI had the pleasure of performing in the premiere of this translation under the direction of Brian Richmond at the University of Victoria where Professor Wise teaches courses in theatre and opera history. In order to understand the scope of Wises achievement; all one need do is go back to the Manheim translation; the dramaturgical rigour and razor clarity that Professor Wise brings to the text makes other available english versions seem hopelessly creaky and awkward. Wise captures the machine-gun rhythm of Brechts pastiche Chicago Gangland argot; even managing the rare feat of making Brechts jokes land for a contemporary audience. Wises Ui also brings a welcome coherency to the plays narrative; without ever sacrificing the weight of Brechts Marxist social critique.Arturo Ui doesnt generally spring to mind when one visualizes the Brecht cannon; but with the release of this excellent new translation; Jennifer Wise may have rescued the play from the triage of theatre history.I highly commend this translation to scholars and theatre students; but especially to practitioners; in hopes that Brechts acid gangster parable on the costs of apathy in the face of demagogy and violence will find continuing life on the stages of the English speaking world.Alistair Newton;Artistic DirectorEcce Homo Theatre[...]
