▼ This dissertation addresses the interface between verbal and visual signifying codes as they pertain to an act of ekphrasis. It considers distinct occasions from the fields of rhetoric, cognitive theory, early cultures of collecting, and visual culture where verbal and visual strategies-in a relationship more Argus-eyed than Janus-faced- work through a rhetoric of amplification, exceeding themselves and one other, and in so doing, confound and complement each other, while fragmenting and exaggerating their subjects in suit. Vacillating between the apparent stasis of its subject and a movement of metamorphosis, ekphrasis appears here as a form of monumentalizing in its attendant mutual dispositions of durability and mutability. It presents in variations upon some basic frictional, though not oppositional, pairs: the visual and verbal, the poetic and the plastic, the image and the object, and motion and stasis. The dissertation argues that ekphrasis entails an ongoing process that constantly exceeds, while reaffirming itself and positions ekphrasis itself as a dynamic, metamorphic device that works within an economy of excess, not only at the level of execution, but also at the level of discourse.

▼ In the landscape of ruined streets, towering cranes and incomplete buildings under perpetual reconstruction that constituted East Berlin, what kind of space did the theater provide, and what role did it play in the construction of the new state? To what extent did its language of metaphors and symbols communicate the legitimation of an East German society, or did their ambiguity instead empower artists to challenge it? In pursuit of these questions, this dissertation engages with the aesthetic and political dialectics of East Berlin to examine how its theater and opera stages served as spaces in which artists and audiences acted out, fueled and resisted the troubled construction of political legitimacy through symbolic and material means. Of particular interest is the recurrence of reused theatrical materials in these East Berlin productions: compound, renovated objects that simultaneously encapsulated past and present meanings. At first glance, these materials appear to be vessels for political rhetoric, suggesting the historical trajectory of the new state extended back to the prewar historical moments the reused materials evoked and thereby confirmed a political legitimacy the SED so actively promulgated. However, by expressing both past and present meanings - and in half-finished shapes that mirrored the incompletion of the planned society's political and physical world - these reused theatrical materials also confounded such a linear historical narrative and challenged the very rhetoric it seemed to uphold. With a focus on the work of Bertolt Brecht, this dissertation investigates the reused theatrical material on East Berlin stages in three case studies: Uta Birnbaum's 1967 production of Brecht's Mann ist Mann at the Berliner Ensemble (the reassembled theatrical material), Joachim Herz's 1977 production of Brecht and Kurt Weill's Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny at the Komische Oper (the reconstructed theatrical material) and the work of Heiner Müller that consciously reused Brechtian theatrical material (the sublime theatrical material). In each instance, the reused theatrical material dialectically expressed the contradictions inherent in East German political legitimacy, at once confirming and challenging it.

▼ The exclusion of women from the civic sphere is a familiar topic in many areas of feminist scholarship. I extend this question to Rossini by examining how four of his operas reflect rules governing female public speech. Chapter One considers La donna del lago (1819) and Matilde di Shabran (1821), in which such rules are stated explicitly within the world represented on stage. I focus on the rondò finales in order to examine how the female protagonists speak in public in the face of wider cultural norms which reduce female speech to wordless and revelatory vocalization. Chapter Two turns to the Act II finale of Rossini's Otello (1816) and the confrontation between Desdemona and her father, Elmiro, especially the moment in which she seeks his forgiveness, and he refuses it. I read this moment through the reception history of Desdemona's aria, and through Marco Beghelli's work on the musical emblems of ritual in nineteenth-century Italian opera. A close review of Beghelli's work reveals that composers drew on these musical emblems to different ends when female rather than male characters were the speakers. Desdemona turns to such rhetoric when her final chance to speak in public collapses. Chapter Three traces how Rossini's Maometto secondo (1820) develops the public voice of its female protagonist, Anna Erisso, both in the changes it introduces into the traditional story of her martyrdom, and in the ways Rossini scores her recitatives. I read Rossini's accompanimental strategies in light of Metastasio's famous letter to Hasse on the recitatives of Attilio Regolo. Yet a moment in the Act II finale raises questions about Anna Erisso's decision to kill herself, as if her public voice had failed to secure for her an autonomous voice. In Chapter Four, I argue that the scenes that establish Anna Erisso's standing as an agent and a public speaker are retracted in Rossini's Venetian and Parisian revisions. I treat the printed librettos of other contemporary revivals as documents of the reception history of the Neapolitan version, records of productions that preserved what Rossini would elsewhere eliminate.
