摘要

这篇文章是对 "利物浦德意志剧院 "的首次深入研究,该剧院可能是澳大利亚本土有史以来最成功的非英语剧院,每天的演出场场爆满,每周都有新作品上演。剧院的成功在很大程度上得益于其位于澳大利亚最大的一战(WWI)拘留营--"德国集中营 "内的位置。与世界上大多数一战拘留营不同的是,这里的近六千名 "敌国侨民 "中既有平民--其中大多数人在战前就以澳大利亚为家--也有商船水手和海军人员。对于这群不同的人来说,戏剧不仅仅是娱乐,更是他们度过有意义时光的重要方式。我们认为,这种意义与通过戏剧(重新)协商身份认同密切相关,使被拘禁者能够为当时在德国公共话语中被理解为 "文化战争"(Kulturkrieg)的战争努力做出贡献,这是一场为德国文化的生存而进行的战斗。戏剧创作者和观众通过 "Kameradschaft"、德国人的勤奋以及 "durchhalten"--"making do"--的共同责任等理念,重新认识了自己的德国性。在实现剧院文化目标的过程中,女性模仿至关重要,这为我们对 D.T.L. 的分析画上了圆满的句号。

‘KULTURKRIEG’ BEHIND BARBED WIRE: GERMAN THEATRE IN AN AUSTRALIAN FIRST-WORLD-WAR INTERNMENT CAMP

‘KULTURKRIEG’ BEHIND BARBED WIRE: GERMAN THEATRE IN AN AUSTRALIAN FIRST-WORLD-WAR INTERNMENT CAMP

This article is the first in-depth study of the ‘Deutsches Theater Liverpool’, probably the most successful non-English theatre ever on Australian soil, selling out daily performances and mounting a new production each week. The theatre's success was due in large part to its location inside the ‘German Concentration Camp’, the largest First World War (WWI) internment camp in Australia. In contrast to most WWI internment camps around the world, its almost six thousand ‘enemy alien’ internees were a mixture of civilians – most of whom called Australia home before the war – merchant sailors and naval personnel. For this diverse group of men, the theatre was more than entertainment; it was an important way to spend their time meaningfully. We argue that this meaning was strongly connected to the (re)negotiation of identity through theatre, allowing the internees to contribute to the war effort understood at the time in German public discourse as a ‘Kulturkrieg’, a battle for the survival of German culture. Theatre-makers and audiences (re)engaged with their Germanness through ideas of ‘Kameradschaft’, German diligence and the joint duty of ‘durchhalten’ – ‘making do’. The critical importance of female impersonation in the achievement of the theatre's cultural aims rounds out our analysis of the D.T.L.

期刊介绍: - German Life and Letters was founded in 1936 by the distinguished British Germanist L.A. Willoughby and the publisher Basil Blackwell. In its first number the journal described its aim as "engagement with German culture in its widest aspects: its history, literature, religion, music, art; with German life in general". German LIfe and Letters has continued over the decades to observe its founding principles of providing an international and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly analysis of German culture past and present. The journal appears four times a year, and a typical number contains around eight articles of between six and eight thousand words each.
