Il metodo spaziale di Brecht : ibridazione, occupazione, allontanamento desiderante e presa di posizione

This essay's purpose is to analyze the relationship between popular culture and cultured tradition and the use of Verfremdungseffekte in Bertolt Brecht, with particular attention to the Dreigroschenoper and the collaboration with the composer Kurt Weill. The hybridization between traditions and different cultural models arises from a necessity that is both aesthetic and political, from the attempt to influence the common sense of the middle class and the popular social classes and to elaborate an artistic creation that can narrate them and make them protagonists.
