...	Wednesday, 3 November, 1999 Susan Sontag's 'The very comical lament of Pyramus and Thisbe (an Interlude)', Prof. W. Brönnimann This rewrite of the mechanicals' interlude and theatrical wedding gift in A Midsummer Night's Dream is a one-page dramulet by the American author and cultural critic Susan Sontag, published in The New Yorker magazine on March 4, 1991. As one would suspect, Sontag has turned Shakespeare's play within a play into a wryly satirical political allegory. But enough said, because part of the fun (and challenge) is to find out how the allegory works. In his talk, SH:IN:E member W. Brönnimann (University of Basel) will refer both to the sources of the Pyramus and Thisbe episode as well as to the implications of Susan Sontag's Shakespearean offshoot. Text of Werner Brönnimann's lecture

....	Wednesday, 12 January 2000 'More strange than true' - Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream in the Classroom, Urs Lauer Building bridges between the pupil's real-life concerns and the museum exhibit of a "famous play" is perhaps the major difficulty in teaching Shakespeare in the English classroom. But then all education is said to be about 'opening doors': Taking Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream as an example some active methods of opening the text will be presented, allowing our pupils to enter into a Brave New World - and hopefully make it their own. Urs Lauer teaches English at the Gymnasium Bäumlihof and is teacher trainer at the PI (Pädagogisches Institut Basel-Stadt). text of Urs Lauer's lecture
