摘要

This chapter deals with cultural asymmetries and hierarchies between the dominant German-language theatre and the national theatres in the Habsburg Monarchy in the nineteenth century. The central aim is to show the key role of German-speaking theatre migrants in the establishment of a professional theatre culture in the countries of today’s Eastern and Southeastern Europe. By doing this, the chapter explores the power structures that enabled the transnational establishment of the German-language theatre in linguistically, culturally, and ethnically very heterogeneous Crown Lands of the monarchy and examines the patterns of internal colonisation in the monarchy.
