Brecht: Verfremdungseffekt (1 Viewer)

[SpoonSamba]

Okay so I'm writing an essay on Brecht and i was wondering

is Verfr​emdun​gseff​ekt a techn​ique Brech​t used like gestu​s or parod​y

orrrr​

did Brech​t use his techn​iques​ in order​ to achie​ve the verfr​emdun​gseff​ekt




???

cos i spent al term thinking it was the first one, but now I'm writing this and i thought that verfremdungseffekt was interchangeable with alienation effect but that only makes sense with the 2nd comment i made.

SO who definitely knows which one it is??

Your right by saying Verfremdungseffekt is synonymous with the alienation effect. Thus, Brecht used Epic staging techniques to achieve the Verfremdungseffekt. It is not technique in itself.
