Historia, memoria y verdad
en El jardín quemado de Juan Mayorga

Historia, memoria y verdad en El jardín quemado de Juan Mayorga

Author(s): Eszter Katona / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 10/2019

Resumen: El jardín quemado (1996) de Juan Mayorga es una obra que forma parte del corpus del teatro de la memoria, tendencia determinante de la dramaturgia española actual. El objetivo del presente artículo es realizar unas breves reflexiones sobre el drama El jardín quemado que, según su autor, es su mejor obra, sin embargo, sigue sin estreno hasta nuestros días y así, lamentablemente,no pudo tener bastante resonancia. El motivo de eso es, tal vez, que esta pieza no pertenece al mainstream del llamado teatro de la memoria porque insinúa que la memoria puede tener efectos negativos y, a la vez, sugiere también que el precio de la desmemoria puede ser muy alto. El artículo analiza primero el comportamiento de los dos protagonistas que representan dos generaciones: Benet es el portavoz de la generación de la posmemoria, mientras que Garay pertenece a la generación de los testigos de la guerra civil española. El siguiente enfoque del análisis es el examen del espacio y tiempo dramáticos, utilizando la teoría de Foucault sobre las heterotopías y heterocronías. Visto que la estructura de la obra se parece a un rompecabezas, por último, quisiéramos llamar la atención sobre la dramaturgia del enigma. Asimismo, subrayamos que el mensaje más importante de esta obra de Mayorga es que la interpretación unilateral del pasado es peligrosa: ni el olvido intencionado ni la memoria forzada pueden resolver el problema, ya que ambas estrategias pueden distorsionar el pasado e impedir el acercamiento crítico hacia la verdad. Abstract: The Burned Garden (1996) by Juan Mayorga is a work that is part of the corpus of the theatre of memory, a determining trend of contemporary Spanish drama. The aim of this study is to present some reflections on the drama The Burned Garden, which, according to its author, is his best play, however, has not been staged until today, and thus, unfortunately, could not produce enough resonance yet. The reason for this might be that the drama does not belong to the mainstream of the so-called theatre of memory as it implies that memory can have negative effects, and, at the same time, also suggests that the price of the lack of memory can be very high. The article starts with the analysis of the two protagonists’ behaviour, who represent two generations: Benet is the spokesman for the generation of postmemory, while Garay belongs to the generation of witnesses of the Spanish Civil War. The next focus of the analysis is the examination of dramatic space and time, using Foucault’s theory of heterotopias and heterocronies. Since the structure of the work resembles a puzzle, finally, we would like to draw attention to the dramaturgy of the enigma. In conclusion, we emphasize that the most important message of Mayorga’s play is that the unilateral interpretation of the past is dangerous: neither intentional forgetfulness nor forced memory can solve the problem since both strategies can distort the past and impede the critical approach to truth.

The Death of Salesmen: David Mamet’s Drama, Glengarry Glen Ross, and Three Iconic Forerunners

The Death of Salesmen: David Mamet’s Drama, Glengarry Glen Ross, and Three Iconic Forerunners

Author(s): Robert J. Cardullo / Language(s): English Issue: 20/2019

This essay places Glengarry Glen Ross in the context of David Mamet’s oeuvre and the whole of American drama, as well as in the context of economic capitalism and even U.S. foreign policy. The author pays special attention here (for the first time in English-language scholarship) to the subject of salesmen or selling as depicted in Mamet’s drama and earlier in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh, and Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire—each of which also features a salesman among its characters.

Reprezentarea literară a persecuțiilor anti-Semite din România. Romanul ebraic „Dima’th ashuqym”, de David Yeshayahu Silberbusch

Author(s): Lucian-Zeev Herșcovici / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 4+5(20+21)/2020

This paper provides an overview of the political, religious and popular anti-Semitism specific to the mid-19th century Romanian society, as reflected in the novel „Dima’th ashuqym”, written by David Yeshayahu Silberbusch. The novel succeeds in highlighting the tumultuous condition of the Jewish community members, torn apart between the struggle to be formally recognized as Romanian citizens, and their resistance to the discrimination and violence that was widespread among the political-administrative agents – starting with the government and ending with the major of the village – and within the larger society, at a civic level – neighbours, friends, customers and so on.

From Roots to Routes: Women Playwrights Negotiating their Authorship in Paratexts

From Roots to Routes: Women Playwrights Negotiating their Authorship in Paratexts

Author(s): Ewa Kębłowska-Ławniczak / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2020

For a range of reasons, there has been a tendency to preach a dearth of interest in the ways writers assert their authorship, constructing individual and collective writerly identities to voice their authorial intentions. While some theoreticians and philosophers, evoking the ghost of biographical positivism, promoted anti-authorialism, postmodernity was immersed in intertextual studies. Though the announced death of the author assumed a significance matching the earlier death of God, the author returns as “writer,” scriptor or “function” in the writing of Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault, as the process of becoming (Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari) or as a performative concept (Gérard Genette, Erika Fischer-Lichte). The aim of the article is to examine a narrow selection of writing authored and co-authored by three women playwrights—Deborah Levy, Djanet Sears and Tanika Gupta—who set out to speak on why they write, aiming in that way to articulate their authorship in essays, notes and conversations which have the status of diverse paratextual forms. The article starts by exploring the relevance of discussions on authorship as well as the implications of institutional policies in regard to women writing for the theatre. Further on, on a tropological level, the article analyses the figurative rendering of self-reflection as a passage from roots to routes, from a concept of fixed identity to mobile, performative concepts converging on epistemological alertness and openness to recognising the ontology of writerly identity as becoming.

Drama oder Roman. Literatur im Brennpunkt intellektueller Existenz bei Georg Lukács

Drama oder Roman. Literatur im Brennpunkt intellektueller Existenz bei Georg Lukács

Author(s): Christa Karpenstein-Eßbach / Language(s): German Issue: 29/2020

The meaning and problematic of ›form‹ in Lukács, most of all in his early writings, unfolds in three ways. Essayism is understood as an intellectual action that responds to a modernity perceived as difficult (1). Literary modes of speech and representation are an expression of life that has become form and connected with their own interpretations of the world qua form, as they gain their contours in drama and the novel and are linked with respective signatures of the philosophy of history within the framework of an unfinished modernity (2). The ascent to form which Lukács carries out in three steps – drama, novel, essay – is finally related to and contrasted with the thought impulses of postmodernism (3).

Analiza ambivalentnosti odnosa Goneril i Regan i odnosa Kordelije i Lira u tragediji Kralj Lir Vilijema Šekspira

Analiza ambivalentnosti odnosa Goneril i Regan i odnosa Kordelije i Lira u tragediji Kralj Lir Vilijema Šekspira

Author(s): Jelena Brkić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 34/2021

The paper aims to analyze the quality and nature of the ambivalence in the relationship between Regan and Goneril and, on the other hand, between Cordelia and Lear in the tragedy King Lear by William Shakespeare. Our major focus in on the first relationship. In this paper, we use graphs in accordance with the concept of presenting drama structures based on the idea of Franco Moretti. Since our intention is to point out the emotional nuances in the characters' relationships, in addition to the graphs that are in line with Moretti's distant reading, we also apply close reading and the psychoanalytic approach accompanied by the affective turn. The analysis confirms the importance of the emotional nature and motivation in relationships between characters and the fact that we can and sometimes have to look for the causes for certain affective and emotional states in ahistorical situations. Also, the analysis shows that the visual presentation of the characters' relationships through nodes and edges can contribute to the recognition of emotional and verbal nuances in relationships, and sometimes nuances themselves opens the door for some new research, questions and discussions.

Author(s): Branislava Vasić Rakočević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 34/2021

This paper begins with an overview of literary work of Radomir Konstantinović. The experimental character of his novels demonstrates the specificity of his literary modus operandi, as a unique phenomenon in Serbian literary scene during the fifth decade of the 20th century. His work will mark a turning point in the transition from modernism to postmodernism. His radio dramas, as well, represent a very specific part of his work mostly due to historical position of this genre. Since his radio dramas are first fully published in 2019. this paper traces a path for further research in this area.

A Socio-Cognitive Study of Ethnocentric Discourse in Lynn Nottage's Sweat

A Socio-Cognitive Study of Ethnocentric Discourse in Lynn Nottage's Sweat

Author(s): Bahee Hadaegh / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2021

Being some major problems of our contemporary world, racism and ethnocentrism demand persistent critical scrutiny. One oft-neglected aspect of these problems is how such prejudices are shared and communicated among the members of the dominant group. This study examines Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Sweat (2015), as a dramatic representation of how racism and ethnocentrism are reproduced and communicated as a social cognition. To this aim, the study tries to employ Teun Adrianus Van Dijk’s cognitively-based discourse analysis and focus on some micro-level aspects of racism as a social cognition rather as an abstract historical phenomenon. Contextualizing the play within its socio-historical moment, three trends of schematic attitudes and mental models regarding ethnocentrism, as Van Dijk’s theory outlines are identified from and studied in the play. The findings demonstrate the socio-cognitive dimension of the discourse of racism, particularly the way it is reproduced and communicated among the dominant in-group members. Moreover, the discussion offers some insight on Lynn Nottage’s latest dramatic endeavor in a hard-hitting portrayal of the intersections of race, class, and political economy and in drawing attention to the real meaning of diversity and inclusion in contemporary America.

Varjú Karcsi

Author(s): Bertóti Johanna / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 3/2020

Johanna Bertóti’s theatre play for children, interspersed with poetry and musical moments, invites readers to a music school populated by songbirds, and not only. This space is an imaginary and playful one, but the problems, questions, and doubts of the character are not different from those which children of all times have shared, as the space of the school evokes the pedagogical environment that is familiar for many of us, somewhat inflexible, authoritarian, and failing to pay proper attention to the pupils.Nevertheless, Bertóti’s text does not have a rigidly critical character, but instead selects dysfunctional aspects from the relationships between parents and children, pupils and children, and between the pupils themselves. The main character, Varjú Karcsi (“Charlie Crow”), enrolled in the Schuhubert Music School in the hope of a career as a singer, which is also nurtured by his parents, is finally expelled due to a prank, but meanwhile we also witness the forging of an authentic friendship between children. The play was staged as a theatrical pedagogy production by the independent theatre company of the Waiting Room Project and premiered under the direction of Andrej Visky, on September 10, 2020, in the independent cultural space ZUG from Kolozsvár/Cluj, after which it will be performed in schools.

О БОЛНОМ ДОЖИВЉАЈУ НЕПРИПАДНОСТИ СЛОВЕНСКИХ ЕМИГРАНАТА

Author(s): Dejan Ajdačić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2021

Аутор приступа анализи драма три словенска писца полазећи од идеје „самопротивречја“ из филозофије дијалога Мартина Бубера, од промишљања Емануела Левинаса и Бернарда Валденфелса о туђинству и страном, као и идеје Викторије Красних о психолошким аспектима стреса при адаптацији другој култури. Аутори комедија приказују дошљаке са сиромашног европског Истока на богатом Западу, њихов однос према богатству и беди, жељу за богатством и страх од сиромаштва, страх да не буду подређени у свету „задовољних“ Западњака, што даље води колебању и вредности и чинилаца њиховог идентитета. О различитим аспектима осећања свога и туђег говоре и савремени драмски писци Пољаци Славомир Мрожек (Емигранти) и Анджеј Стасјук (Ноћ) те Србин Небојша Ромчевић (Брод љубави). У драмским преиспитивањима открива се асиметрија потреба и жеља, огледају се промене у осећању припадности, и испољавају амбиваленције у осећањима припадности, прихватања и одбацивања себе и Других.

Insulted. Belarus(sia)

Author(s): Andrei Kureichik / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2021

The drama of Andrei Kureichik, the renowned Belarusian playwright, entitled Insulted. Belarus(sia), is inspired by the first months and the wavering events of the demonstrations which flared up in August 2020. The figures who get the word one after the other are based on real personality types, through which the author - by the multiplicity of voices and points of view - draws the net of causes and motivations which led to the manifestation of the social discontent and to the trespasses of the representatives of the power, given that in Kureichik’s drama one can hear and see both those suffering because of the ruling power and those who take advantage of the situation. The drama of Kureichik is at the same time a contemplation on the nature of the revolutions: what differentiates the Belarusian manifestations from the ones held in Prague in 1968, in Russia in 1991, or the ones held in Ukraine? The drama was staged as reader’s theatre in several languages in the context of an international event organized under the aegis of solidarity, and it can be read in the present issue of our journal translated by Éva Patkó, the lyrics being translated by Péter Demény.

Drama muškaraca kao škola za žene

Author(s): Radmila Nastić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 5-6/1996

The paper deals with an analysis of the traditional dramatic paradigm from Aristotle and classical Greek drama to the present day, based on, in a simplified form, on the conflict between father and son or the struggle for power. In such a pattern female characters in drama have had a subordinate role corresponding to the role of women in society throughout history. The basis of this paper is Barbara Johnson’s deconstruction of the dramatic genre illustrated by Moliere’s comedy The School for Wives. The paper also deals with the female rebels in drama who, like Antigone and Ophelia, voluntarily went to death or madness in order to escape the bloody drama of history embodied on the stage. In recent time, starting with Ibsen’s Nora and Chekov’s Nina Zarechna, heroines leave the middle class drama to forge their own drama of self-awareness.

Поетиката на новите драми на Горан Стефановски (Собрани драми, книга 4, издание на Табернакул од Скопје, 2015)

Author(s): Katica Kulavkova / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 13/2015

This essay aims to present certain elements, based on the three most recent plays by Goran Stefanovski (Odisej / Odysseus [2012], Ogneni jazici / Fire tongues [2013] and Figurae veneris historiae [2014]), that indicate that this Macedonian author withdraws from the dramaturgy (or poetics) of the synopsis (montage, stage performance). He is nowadays oriented towards an interdiscursive poetics of the play and theatrical performance. This essay underlines, as well, the immense interests for historical subjects and personages in his plays, presented through a marginalized and dark optics. The author manages to create his characters in an intertextual, ironic and meta-fictional constellation. This poetic twist is associated with political and ideological changes, encompassing as well the modification of official Balkan (such as the European ‘Otherness’) and European stereotypes (the Eurocentric paradigm).

Recepcija dramskih djela Pere Budaka u Lici

Author(s): Jasminka Brala Mudrovčić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2009

Pero Budak holds an enormous love of the Lika region in his heart.Lika is not only his family’s origin and its roots, but it was his literary and creative inspiration, the homeland of his dramas and comedies, novels and poems and memoirs. Nothing in the world is more beautiful than reciprocated love. Budak's love is reciprocatedin the same way! The people of Lika appreciate and love Budak and they have shown this in many ways for many years. They have read his works, acted out his plays, acted in his dramas, staged literary evenings and organised concerts. Their loyalty can be best seen if you take peek into the local daily press and assess how they have, since in 1953, followed his life and accepted his work as the origins and the true heart of the people of Lika.

THE QUEST FOR CULTURAL SURVIVAL IN ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

THE QUEST FOR CULTURAL SURVIVAL IN ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

Author(s): Timuçin Buğra Edman,Hacer Gozen,Lowra Dzekem / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2021

In Antony and Cleopatra, William Shakespeare highlights the cultures of the East and the West. The play reveals the quest for cultural survival between the East and the West as a major factor that stirs cultural complexities. The unrighteous representation of the Eastern culture shows the complex nature of multiculturalism the canonical writers strove to represent in their writings. This study seeks to substantiate the challenges that confront cultural expressions in the multicultural atmosphere Shakespeare highlights in Antony and Cleopatra, as well as how the minority culture shapes this context of cultural plurality. Similarly, a comparative analysis of Cultural Studies, cultural history, cultural identity, cultural ‘contents,’ and the literary work Antony and Cleopatra will be the subject matter in this study. Moreover, the goal of this study is to examine how Shakespeare promotes Western culture through the adoringly and adorningly illustrated West with a blemished and contemptuous portrayal of the East in his play. Comparatively, we examine how Shakespeare evinces the triumvirs as the powerful three (Antony, Caesar and Lepidus) and, on the other hand, how he associates Cleopatra with the East.

Dramski tekst u nastavi književnosti

Dramski tekst u nastavi književnosti

Author(s): Edina Murtić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 16/2021

In this text, we analyze the presence of dramatic texts in the teaching of literature based on the previous experiences from the Curricula, as well as the current presence of dramatic texts in the Curriculum for the Sarajevo Canton. In the science and methodology of literature education, the issue of a lack and insufficiency of the dramatic genre in literature teaching has been recognized for a long time. Our objective is to present how dramatic texts may and have to be more present in teaching through more significant inter-subject correlation. Thereby the importance of scene education is emphasized, which is primarily acquired in the literature and language teaching, but it may be applied in the teaching of other subjects as well.

Родот и архетипот во драмата

Родот и архетипот во драмата

Author(s): Nataša Avramovska / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2011

Драмските текстови на Теки Дервиши, Брегот на жалоста, и на Гоце Смилевски, Разговор со Спиноза (циркуска претстава во пет точки), ги поврзува речиси идентично драмско дејство кое го исцртува кругот на бесконечната еднотност во телото на уроборос: големата змија која ја голта сопствената опашка. Станува збор за драмско дејство кое го исцртува кругот на нераскинливата врска меѓу утробата на мајката и плотта на нејзиниот син. Линијата на кругот ја означува бесконечноста на преобразбите на плотта, еротиката, сексот, ја потцртува нивната еднотна сушност со сепронижувачкото и сеопфатно тело на мајката, која воедно се јавува и како апотропаион (во магиска, заштитна функција) – лик поставен пред портите на драмскиот свет: на влезот и на излезот од него. На влезот/излезот на самото бидување: во процепот меѓу животот и смртта. На двете драми, во нивниот интертекстуален и интеркултурен дијалог, што се однесува до прашањето за родот и архетипот, им е заедничко нагласувањето на архетипски значајниот аспект на човечката, од мајка родената, телесност и плотност. Во драмата на Смилевски првенствено е поставена темата на сексуалноста односно изведен е дијалогот на светот на сексуалноста и филозофијата на Спиноза кој се разрешува врз почвата на архетипските слики. Во драмата на Дервиши, напротив, сексуалноста е постојано во сенката на архетипскиот лик на Мајката и нејзините многубројни митски појави. Она што е пресудно како основа за споредба на двете дела од аспектот на родот и архетипот е „семејното сценарио“ на сексуалноста што тие го загатнуваат.

Tévedések tárháza / Intenții rătăcite (interaktív szatíra)

Author(s): Réka Dálnoky / Language(s): Romanian,Hungarian Issue: 2/2021

Réka Dálnoky’s play is the winner of the Communitas Foundation’s drama competition on Romanian-Hungarian coexistence, which was staged as a joint production of the Liviu Rebreanu and Miklós Tompa Company of the National Theatre of Târgu Mures in 2018, as part of the centenary events. Like other Romanian-Hungarian dramas and theatre performances about Romanian-Hungarian coexistence, Dálnoky’s text considers the approach to the theme inseparable from bilingualism and mixed casting. Misguided Intentions thus reveals situations of understanding, non-understanding, misunderstanding, cultural and power games in which the spectator plays an important role from the moment of seating to the moment of leaving the theatre. The author frames the events as a show reminiscent of TV contests, referring to ethnic rivalries. And the show has it all: a sports match, a skills competition, a social science presentation, and even theatrical self-reflection, revealing the conflicts of a bilingual acting team. The drama seems to suggest that there is no situation before or after the constructed theatre that is not permeated by the conflictual relations of ethnic coexistence in a visible or less visible way. It also points out that it matters how we decide and what we choose in these situations.
