It first reconstructs it into a single framework using four key Brechtian concepts: Fabel, gestus, estrangement effects, and historicizing. It then uses that framework to analyse four Brechtian adaptations: \u003ci\u003eThe Tutor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDon Juan\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Socrates Wounded,\" and \u003ci\u003eKriegsfibel\u003c\/i\u003e. It argues that adaptation occupies a previously unrealised central place in Brecht's thought, demonstrating that he provides us with a unique way to think about adaptation--as material transformation. It concludes by describing how Brecht is useful for anti-capitalist aesthetics today because through him one can foster a new consciousness which enables better social conditions to be created. This book is practical for both theatre practitioners and artists as well as theorists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Squiers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900472186X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004721869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Anthony Squiers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46670594015487,"sku":"9789004721869","price":133.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bertolt-brechts-adaptations-and-anti-capitalist-anthony-squiers-9789004721869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
