Cад/парк как «театр памяти» в драматургии Павла Пряжко (Сад Афродиты Дубовик, Урожай, Парки и сады)

Author(s): Olga Bagdasarian / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 149/2015

This article displays various interpretations of the image of an orchard in dramaturgy by Pavel Pryazhko. Orchard is used there as “a territory of memory” (personal, cultural and historical). The existence of characters on such territory is rather provocative one because it establishes the distance between the idea of an orchard (as a symbol of the “highest values”) and its modern «variant», which becomes the metaphor of contemporary life.

Darkness as National Drama

Author(s): Jelena Lužina / Language(s): English / Issue: 57/2007

The renowned drama by Kole Čašule – organized in a fairly non-standard quadraphonic/four section form (in four parts, and not, as would have been customary, in four acts), entitled with quite the stigmatic and adequately connotative syntagm Darkness – is undoubtedly one of the key Macedonian dramas, and at the same time a drama that is laconically ("by automatism") attributed with being a "national classic", whatever this quite undetermined/undeterminable formulation means. The text that follows aims to study the potential meanings of this formulation, trying to argument them or raise them as problems with the help of exact and absolutely confirmable facts.

Daugybingumo formos šiuolaikiniame Lietuvos teatre: postmoderni reprezentacija ar modernios tradicijos tęsinys?

Author(s): Jurgita Staniškyte / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 2/2011

The article examines new forms of representation in the contemporary Lithuanian theatre as well as their correlation with the modern representation. One of the themes of analysis is different character of the relations with the past in a modern and postmodern artistic framework. Quite often the creators of the post-soviet Lithuanian theatre use pre-existing cultural templates – myths, narratives, frames of traditional historiography, together with different texts and forms from the history of the theatre, and thus produce the effect of continuation rather than a radical break with the tradition.The article focuses on the theatrical strategies that open up to the postmodern notion of plurality: intertextual representation, intersemiosis, citation, pastiche, rewriting, deconstruction. With the help of three different case studies the article demonstrates, what kind of aesthetic forms the principle of plurality acquires in Lithuanian theatre; how the past (tradition, canon, history)reappears in these performances and how their perception differs from the modern tradition.

Deșteptarea primăverii – caiet de regie

Deșteptarea primăverii – caiet de regie

Author(s): Bogdan Ulmu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2013

It’s spring. Nature jubilees. Wedekind tries to find a concordance not only through the title, but also through a collateral allegory, that of a flower bud, full of vigour, ready to explode. The young adolescents bustle with excited nostrils, breathing the warm and staggering air of the neurotic season. The play Spring’s Awakening fascinates through innocence, calm redeeming in opposition with dullness and conformism of the mature people. The excitement of the adolescents, their gnostic ascent and the naivety in front of the essential mystery impress both the reader and the spectator.

Diabeł i seryjni mordercy. Rzecz o niebanalności zła

Author(s): Pawel Rzewuski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 02/2015

The article presents an analysis of the ways in which serial killers were depicted by popular literature authors. The image of serial killers which emerges from the interpretation of various criminal novels was confronted with criminological literature. As it seems, the comparision between fictional serial killers and their real counterparts allows us to notice some tendencies in popular literature. Serial killers, as presented in criminal novels, have more in common with the devil himself rather than with the actual serial killers. They tend to fill in some way the gap which has arisen in the consciousness of people living in the secularized societies.

Dizisinde Çizilen Japonya’nin ‘Yeni’ Erkek İmaji

Author(s): Ceren Aksoy Sugiyama / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 80/2014

It can be argued that for the last two decades Japan has gone through a radical transformation making the country a stage for various masculine performances filling it with a multitude of representations of masculine identities. The footprints of these transformation can also be observed through media representations. Within this context the aim of the article is to elaborate the masculine identity constructed through Sakamoto Ryōma in the historical drama Ryōmaden broadcasted in the year 2010 by the Japanese national channel. By giving several examples from the scenes focusing on the character traits of the protogonist, the type of masculinity which is thought to be idealised by means of an updated version of Sakamoto Ryōma will try to be highlighted. Within the popular history, Sakamoto Ryōma is known to be one of the architects of the Meiji Restoration. Although he could not live to see the Reformation itself his contributions did not go unnoticed. The latest version of these character who have already inspired several novel, anime and manga overlaps with the historically glorified masculin identity. On the other hand it can be noticed that the image itself differentiates from the iconic images of the previous decades. By putting into circulation a sympathic samurai who reverse the Japanese autocratic masculine image; the series not only refresh the social memory but also put into circulation a new masculine image.

Doomed Eternality of Desire and Fear in A Delicate Balance

Author(s): Samira Sasani,Haghrezaei Elham / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

A Delicate Balance is a play of fear and threat. The characters in this play show an unknown dread of the outside world and try to maintain the status quo.The sense of communication is bound to a protective behavior which results in their avoidance of any outsider. Laing’s theory on the condition of the schizoid and the divided selves which torture his existence has become the framework through which this study will show how collusions at work create divided selves and how these selves find themselves in their encounter with the real world. In this article, the attempt has been made to demonstrate the deepest layers of relationships between the characters of the play, while delving into the conflicting forces which are at work in each character’s inner world resulting in their ironically opposing and conflicting behaviors. This study will also reveal how masks act as important tools to protect the characters’ existence from the threat of the outside invaders. These schizoid characters suffer from, deal with and behave differently towards their inner split and the conflict it arises from within, so that their main focus will be to preserve their existence.
