Inhalt

“Everyman”, a moral play of Dutch origin has been very popular in 16th century. It has been almost immediately translated into English, Latin, German and many other languages. But, what is more important, it has several reinterpretation within a century, which served as a kind of dramatic argument in ideological and religious discussion of that age in Europe, especially in Germany. After three centuries, it has been revived by H. Hofmannsthal and its dramatic structure served as a point of reference for several ideologically infused dramas, as well revolutionary and political, as Christian and religious. Hence, topos of Everyman seems to form a kind of universal dramatic archetype of special rhetorical power that makes it a kind of aesthetic device serving for critical practices in different cultural and ideological contexts. The seminar will focus the history and origins of the topos of Everyman, its cognitive and dramatic structure, and the 20th century reinterpretations.
