Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Chicago, 2005.

This study focuses on social practices involving the ingestion of humans. The first part consists in a play on the subject, "Der Imbiss zur Sage", the second part is a commentary based on developments in cultural history. For nearly every religion, sacrifice is the most central of all actions. The situation of human sacrifice will be addressed in the play. The basis of the plot structure draws from examples of cannibalism over the past 15 years.

520 $a This study focuses on social practices involving the ingestion of humans. The first part consists in a play on the subject, "Der Imbiss zur Sage", the second part is a commentary based on developments in cultural history. For nearly every religion, sacrifice is the most central of all actions. The situation of human sacrifice will be addressed in the play. The basis of the plot structure draws from examples of cannibalism over the past 15 years.
520 $a In the sentimental, father-dominated familial order of a society that is only superficially secular, sacrifice is monopolized by religions; as such, it also remains a prerequisite for achieving balance between the individual and society. In this situation, the victim must privately stage his own sacrifice. Men who wish to surrender themselves must find balance in self-consumption, an act that requires ceremony to mark it as sacral. A self-appointed caste of priests operating on the cutting edge between rite and medicine exploits the wish to be sacrificed, creating a defining principle of life in the process. Men are the ones who concoct these rites amongst themselves. For women, there are only two possible courses of action: total assimilation, or flight.
520 $a An examination of the practice of representation in German-language theatre will show that depictions of violence onstage represent a regression to the sacral realm of pre-Enlightenment times. Under current practices, theatre no longer follows goals set forth by society. In its postmodern application, theatre is a pre-Enlightenment realm in which human sacrifice takes place and a pre-modern society manifests itself. That which E. Burke classifies as murder per se, presented in a more highly aestheticized form for the stage, is the unavoidable result of a social order in which the theatrical establishment stages a re-enactment of the sacral practice of sacrifice for an entertainment culture.
520 $a The composition of the drama "Der Imbiss zur Sage" uses dramatic form to avoid classification within this depiction of society. In a conversational piece that ultimately renders all sensory experiences as speech---thereby leaving any hint of viewing pleasure completely unfulfilled---it is possible to discuss sacrifice without reenacting it.
