Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the social significance of operetta, the overwhelmingly popular form of popular entertainment in the German-speaking world in the 1920s and 1930s, from the following three perspectives. Firstly, the interaction between creator and audience in social and political satire in operetta, secondly, the cross-genre influence of operetta on theatre and film, and thirdly, the influence of transnational personnel, artistic and technical exchange within and beyond the German-speaking world. From these perspectives, a survey of extant material was conducted to elucidate the role played by operetta as a voice for the masses under the question of how operetta, full of social, political and cultural parody, functioned as satire in the turbulent interwar period.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究をつうじて、生きた舞台上で機能する諷刺によってオペレッタ作品がどのように自己反省的に作り変えられてきたのかを明らかにした。従来の文化史研究で看過されてきたオペレッタを多角的に見つめなおすことにより、ドイツ語圏オペレッタにおけるモダニズムの諸相に光を当てることができた。本研究の学術的意義は、戦間期のドイツ語圏オペレッタの特質を検証し定位することにより、ワイマール文化研究やユダヤ文化研究のみならず、文化史一般に新たな分析と評価の契機を提供することにあった。得られた研究成果は、論文や実際のオペレッタ公演のプログラム解説として出版し、広く研究者の便宜に供するとともに、一般の方々にも還元した。
