Ordering or Problematising?

Author(s): Małgorzata Sugiera, Mateusz Borowski
Subject(s): Theatre, Dance, Performing Arts
Published by: Instytut im. Jerzego Grotowskiego
Keywords: Performance Theory

Summary/Abstract: Mateusz Borowski and Małgorzata Sugiera describe several textbooks from the field of performance theory (Marvin Carlson’s Performance, Richard Schnecher’s Performance Theory, Erika Fischer-Licht’s Theaterwissenschaft. Eine Einführung in die Grundlagen des Faches and James Loxley’s Performativity), attempting – on the basis of the knowledge that constitutes performance theory – to analyse new strategies for disseminating and reproducing this knowledge in textbooks, readers and anthologies tailored to the changes occurring in higher education. They thus attempt to answer the question posed in the title: is the task of textbooks under the new conditions prevailing in the humanities more “to order or to problematise?”
