Jetzt wei\u00df ich, dass diese Nicht-Marzipan-Leckerei<\/a> aus Grie\u00dfteig gemacht wird und Halwat Dschibn hei\u00dft.<\/p>\n \u00a7<\/p>\n Stephan Greenblatt schreibt f\u00fcr die New York Review of Books<\/i>: Er war auf die ersten iranischen Shakespearekonferenz eingeladen worden (wer sonst?) – und dachte erst mal \u00fcber den w\u00fctenden Antisemitismus der Staatsdoktrin und nicht weniger Konferenzbeteiligter nach. Nicht nur als Jude.<\/p>\n Just after the revolution, the leader of the Iranian Jewish community, Habib Elghanian, was arrested on charges of \u201ccontacts with Israel and Zionism,\u201d \u201cfriendship with the enemies of God,\u201d and \u201cwarring with God and his emissaries.\u201d Elghanian was executed by firing squad. Following this execution, large numbers of Iranian Jews emigrated, and those who stayed are mindful of the fact that \u201ccontacts with Israel and Zionism\u201d remain a serious offense. Foreign travelers with any evidence in their passports of visiting Israel are denied admission to Iran. Yet in my case, Shakespeare, it seemed, somehow erased the offense and bridged the huge chasm between us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n (…)<\/p>\n What did it mean that Shakespeare was the magic carpet that had carried me to Iran? For more than four centuries now he has served as a crucial link across the boundaries that divide cultures, ideologies, religions, nations, and all the other ways in which humans define and demarcate their identities. The differences, of course, remain\u2014Shakespeare cannot simply erase them\u2014and yet he offers the opportunity for what he called \u201catonement.\u201d He used the word in the special sense, no longer current, of \u201cat-one-ment,\u201d a bringing together in shared dialogue of those who have been for too long opposed and apart.<\/p>\n It was the project of many in my generation of Shakespeare scholars to treat this dialogue with relentless skepticism, to disclose the ideological interests it at once served and concealed, to burrow into works\u2019 original settings, and to explore the very different settings in which they are now received.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Greenblatt entschied sich, in seiner Konferenz-Keynote vom oppressiven Gesellschaftssystem der Shakespearezeit zu erz\u00e4hlen – in Details, die alle auch auf den heutigen Iran zutreffen.<\/p>\n via @h0d3r<\/a> – dessen Freilassung aus iranischer Gefangenschaft in den deutschen Medien nahezu unterging (ich hatte Hossein in der Jury zum Best of the Blogs der Deutschen Welle kennengelernt)<\/p>\n \u00a7<\/p>\n Sehr viel Awww!
