I think the best use of this in cinema is Haneke's 1997 film Funny Games. He openly (the remote control scene lol) smashes Aristotle's cathartic way of fiction, and really annoys us because of the fact that we are so used to Aristotle's cathartic way of fiction like the bad guy dies, the good guy wins. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Why was it called "Alienation Effect" when it bridged the gap between the stage and the stalls? Surely calling an audience to assertive action is a way to bring them together with the play itself rather than alienating them?
This is such a great question - ‘alienation effect’ is one of many translations of verfremdungseffekt. I think ‘strange making’ or ‘making strange’ work a little better. But imo none of the translations perfectly describe the technique. It’s fascinating to think about and so much more than it’s literal translation 👍🏻
How interesting to apply Alienation effect to a Shakespeare play…I’m afraid it’ll be up to you HOW you do that. Some of the techniques are also here in my TikTok. Good luck! vm.tiktok.com/ZM8bbfAaa/

You are very welcome, I am glad I could help. As for further resources I would go with the book ‘Brecht on Theatre’ by Bertolt Brecht and John Willett

Ans I agree with what you are saying
I guess it's alienating the audiences' suspended disbelief and at the same time appealing to their analytical position as observers@@TheDramaCoach
Yes, absolutely 👍🏻
An excellent answer
I'm writing an article about Alination in Hamlet would you please provide me with sources
