TEXT AS THE STAGE: THE THEORY OF EPIC THEATRE OF B. BRECHT AND THE TEXT BY E. JELINEK (BASED ON B. BRECHTS PLAYS AND E. JELINEKS NOVEL THE PIANO TEACHER)
Abstract
The article explores elements of the epic theatre
(which was based on theory of the German playwright B.
Brecht) in the novel of E. Jelinek The Piano Teacher. The
paper focuses on two aspects of this question: the figure of
the narrator in the text and the phenomenon of materialization
viewed as realization of alienation effect - one of the most
important elements of the epic theatre. The research is based
on comparative analysis of lexical, syntactical and stylistic peculiarities
in Brechts plays and in the Austrian writers novel.
The result of this research is the conclusion that the text of the
novel has some features of B. Brechts play and the novel by
E. Jelinek is an example of dramatization of a prosaic text.
