"Siting Futurity: The "Feel Good" Tactical Radicalism of Contemporary Culture in and around Vienna shows how cultural practitioners in and around Vienna draw on their historical knowledge of locality to create rousing productions designed to get audiences to inform themselves about useful aspects of history, to get them to engage their presents, and to help make possible more socially equitable futures. Analyses of politically engaged works of contemporary theatre, film, and photography set in and around Vienna help to identify a historically oriented mechanism that enables artists to tap into Vienna’s extraordinary, and extraordinarily under-appreciated, tradition of protest culture that dates back to the action that brought about the Wiener Neustadt “Blood Court” in the 16th century, but really came into its own with the city’s most influential occupation of an abandoned slaughterhouse for 100 days in the late summer of 1976. It also shows how work with a connection to Vienna by international stars like David Bowie, Wes Anderson, and Christoph Schlingensief has absorbed the same principles.While the overwhelming scale of technological development and the ensuing problems and crises may not have been deliberately designed to induce resignation, passivity, and despair, those who benefit from the related hyperobjects of financialization and climate change must find it convenient that they do, as demoralization reduces resistance to their profit-making machinations. It is in this context that Red Vienna’s proud tradition of social engagement and long tradition of resistance and radicality deserves to be better known.

Welche Auswirkung hat die Eskalation des Terrors auf die deutschsprachige Dramatik? Wie reagieren zeitgenössische Theatertexte auf Angriff und Flucht und welche politische Sprengkraft geht von der Theater-Literatur aus? Die durch 9/11 ausgelöste Gewaltspirale, die sich mit dem Flüchtlingsdrama verschärft, hinterlässt auch in der Theaterlandschaft deutliche Spuren: Theatertexte setzen sich mit großem Engagement und in unterschiedlichsten Modi mit aktuellem Geschehen auseinander. Sie konfrontieren die Aufführung als ästhetisches Ereignis mit politischen Ereignissen und führen eindrucksvoll das gefährdete Leben vor. Angesichts dieses Spektakels der Gewalt geht Artur Pelka dem Politikum gegenwärtiger Theatertexte u.a. von Thomas Freyer, Elfriede Jelinek und Kathrin Röggla nach. »Eine Studie, die teilweise sehr heterogene Diskurse gekonnt in Verbindung bringt.« David Krych, [rezens.tfm], 15.05.2018 »Artur Pelka hat die Texte sehr klug ausgewählt, da sie sich in ihrer Ästhetik auffällig unterscheiden. Er versteht es, diese Werke so zu durchdringen, dass sich ihre Form als Spiegel eines politischen Anliegens ganz bodenständig auf ihr Aussagepotenzial und ihre inhaltliche Relevanz beziehen lässt.« Stefan Schroeder, r:k:m, 19.12.2016 Besprochen in: Schultheater, 27 (2016) Germanistische Mitteilungen, 43/2 (2017), Inge Arteel
