“The Mediated War: Karl Kraus's Docudrama ‘The Last Days of Mankind’” by Marjorie Perloff

[@doppelhousepress4683]

Marjorie Perloff's was the best lecture I've ever heard at The Getty. - Carrie Paterson

She mentions a Mars Theater translating it as "Theater on Mars" but a Mars Theater is a roman type of theater arena dedicated to the Mars roman god of war. That's it.

So Kraus meant both. He played on all of the meanings, possibilities, of words.

Thank you! 🙏🏻 The fact that some people today call Kraus an anti-Semite is all part of the joke! 🤣 What makes Jews so special? (If anybody knows me they know I have Special K tattooed on my knuckles 🤣) Wheels within wheels mahn! Karl’s material is so dense it transcends time ⏰ He is a time traveler... 35:00
