«Man hat auch sein Fleisch und Blut». Il trauma dell’addestramento nel Woyzeck di Georg Büchner

Abstract

Inspired by a true story which took place in the 1820s, the play Woyzeck by Georg Büchner gives voice to the traumatic experience of a soldier guilty of murder. The aim of the essay is to investigate how Woyzeck is in the play a perpetrator, but also a victim of the power structures in the social context in which he lives (military life, science, bourgeois morality).
