Nervosität und theatrale Hygieneaufklärung im Sowjetrussland der 1920–30er Jahre (2020)

unapi

The present contribution analyses the nervousness and neurasthenia discourse in the early Soviet Union. Its focus is on psycho-hygienic plays staged by the Moscow Theatre for Sanitary Culture. It asks in which images, figures and actions a knowledge about the nervous disorder was presented on stage, which genre traditions and communicative instruments were used and on which changing political implications those performances were based. To obtain this the archive sources, selected texts of neurasthenic dramas, reports and reviews in daily press have been evaluated.
