As Death of a Salesman opens, Willy Loman returns home “tired to the death” (p. 13). Lost in reveries about the beautiful countryside and the past, he's been driving off the road; and now he wants a cheese sandwich. But Linda's suggestion that he try a new American-type cheese — “It's whipped” (p. 16) — irritates Willy: “Why do you get American when I like Swiss?” (p. 17). His anger at being contradicted unleashes an indictment of modern industrialized America: The street is lined with cars. There's not a breath of fresh air in the neighborhood. The grass don't grow any more, you can't raise a carrot in the back yard. (p. 17). In the old days, “This time of year it was lilac and wisteria.” Now: “Smell the stink from that apartment house! And another one on the other side…” (pp. 17–18). But just as Willy defines the conflict between nature and industry, he pauses and simply wonders: “How can they whip cheese?” (p. 18). The clash between the old agrarian ideal and capitalistic enterprise is well documented in the literature on Death of a Salesman, as is the spiritual shift from Thomas Jefferson to Andrew Carnegie to Dale Carnegie that the play reflects. The son of a pioneer inventor and the slave to broken machines, Willy Loman seems to epitomize the victim of modern technology.

Welche Rolle politische Inhalte („linke“ oder „rechte“) in populistischen Bewegungen und Parteien eigentlich spielen, ist zwar, wie der Populismusbegriff selbst, von jeher Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Auseinandersetzungen. Dass Populismus vor allem auch mit der Art und Weise der politischen Artikulation zu tun hat, wird nur von wenigen bestritten. Daher liegt es für die AutorInnen des 86. OBST-Heftes auf der Hand, Populismus mit sprachwissenschaftlichen und diskursanalytischen Mitteln zu untersuchen, um die Spezifika dieser Artikulationsweise zu beschreiben und zu erklären. In diesem Zusammenhang ist unter anderem der Frage nachzugehen, in welcher Beziehung der Populismus zu den Medien steht. Diese Frage drängt sich umso mehr auf, als der Populismus immer – also gegenwärtig ebenso wie zu früheren Zeiten – ein besonderes Naheverhältnis zu den jeweils modernen Massenmedien zu haben scheint. Die ersten Beiträge des Bandes beginnen mit der Betrachtung des deutschen und deutschsprachigen Populismus und gehen zur Analyse des italienischen, britischen und norwegischen Populismus über. Die Vielfalt populistischer Rhetorik in ihrer medialen Performanz wird damit gut sichtbar, auch wenn noch zahlreiche weitere Länder in vergleichende Analysen einbezogen werden könnten und – in zukünftiger Forschung – auch einbezogen werden sollten.

The purpose of this thesis will be to examine how two acts of rebellion against Queen Elizabeth I influenced Shakespeare's writing of Richard II and Henry V, as well as the performance and publication of these plays. The treasonous plots and execution of Mary, Queen of Scots in the 1580s, as well as the failed Essex Rebellion of 1601, resulted in a sensitivity towards any writings that seemed to support a coup d'état. Shakespeare, being a well-informed and fairly well-connected playwright, wrote passages in the afore mentioned plays that clearly reflect the political turmoil of the times. Thus, his plays were censored both on stage and in print until after the death of Elizabeth in 1603.
