- Inhalt
- The spectacle of Brexit, the eccentricity of Boris Johnson, heated debates in the House of Commons: these are just a few examples of how British politics seems to be marked by a performative quality largely absent from the more sober and solemn workings of the German political system.
In this seminar, we are going to examine British performances of politics in both fiction and real life . We are going to look at specific examples of staging politics, and we will try to understand the reasons behind a theatrical bent that seems to put style over substance.
Preliminary content includes:
• Performative approaches to culture and politics.
• The British political system.
• The parliamentary tradition, the constitutional monarchy, and the unwritten constitution
• The Shakespearian political imaginary and the concept of the “good ruler”.
• Arthurian romance and its renaissance in the 19th century.
• The links between empiricism, “playful detachment” and “national character”.
• The tension between exceptionalism and declinism.
• The Royal Family as spectacle of the state.
• The rhetoric of Winston Churchill.
• The “Cambridge Five”: spy fiction and the performance of left-wing politics.
• Margaret Thatcher: style, vision, and the performance of neoliberal politics.
• New Labour, Cool Britannia – spin and delivery? Performing class and community in Tony Blair’s 1990s.
• Brexit and recent controversies.
Within these topics we will not only consider actual politics but also trace performances of politics in engaging works of literature and popular filmic representations of British politics such as The Crown (Netflix, 2016- ), House of Cards (British original, BBC, 1990), The Thick of It (BBC, 2005-2012), Yes Minister/Yes, Prime Minister (BBC, 1980-1984/1986-1988), Spitting Image (ITV, 1984-1996) and Brexit: The Uncivil War (Toby Haynes, 2019).
