Research Project
Eine Theaterlandschaft für Belgrad (1841-1914). Kulturtransfer zwischen osmanischen, serbischen und europäischen Theaterpraktiken — abgeschlossen
A theatrical landscape for Belgrade (1841-1914). Cultural transfer between Ottoman, Serbian and European Theater Pactices — completed
My dissertation project deals with the history of theater in Belgrade in the second half of the 19th century. Next to the newspaper, the theater is the most important medium in the 19th century and as such at the core of my project; it serves as a kind of probe for the study of cultural transfers. In almost every history of Belgrade in the 19th century, the extraordinary location on the border of two empires, namely the Habsburg monarchy and the Ottoman Empire, is underlined. In addition, Belgrade was exposed to certain political and cultural influences of "Mother Russia" and France. Therefore the question arises whether and to what extent this situation of the Serbian capital influenced the cultural life of its inhabitants and whether it was possible for them to consciously perceive or even enjoy life at the intersection of different civilizations. The project mainly deals with various cultural transfers in Belgrade in the second half of the 19th century. The aim is to investigate which theatre program existed in Belgrade, how it was organized, and which cultural entities or states were selected as role models. Various forms of theatrical institutions will be explored, from the Ottoman Karagöz to the National Theater to private boulevard stages similar to those of European capitals. The theater history of a city must be considered in a larger cultural space. Particular attention is paid to theater actors such as directors, actors and authors who mostely acted transnationally, which makes it possible to investigate cultural transfers to a special degree.
