Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polish Theatre Revisited explores nineteenth-century Polish theatre through the lens of theatre audiences. Agata Luksza places special emphasis on the most engaged spectators, known as "theatremaniacs"--from what they wore, to what they bought, to what they ate. The theatre was one of the key areas where early fan cultures emerged, and theatremaniacs indulged in diverse fan practices in opposition to the forces reforming the theatre and its spectatorship.

Download or read book A History of Polish Theater, 1939-1989 written by Kazimierz Braun and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1996-02-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores Polish theater within the context of the political predicament of the country, which was conquered and divided by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union (1939-1945) and then ruled by the Soviets' imposed Communist regime (1945-1989).

The book is supplemented with a bibliography of sources in English and Polish, and indexes of names and plays (with titles in both English and Polish).
Book Synopsis Rowdy Carousals by : J. Chris Westgate
Download or read book Rowdy Carousals written by J. Chris Westgate and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rowdy Carousals makes important interventions in nineteenth-century theatre history with regard to the Bowery Boy, a raucous, white, urban character most famously exemplified by Mose from A Glance at New York in 1848. Theatrical representations of the Bowery Boy emphasized the privileges of whiteness against nonwhite workers including enslaved and free African Americans during the Antebellum Period, an articulation of white superiority that continued through the early twentieth century with Jewish, Italian, and Chinese immigrants. The book’s examination of working-class whiteness on stage, in the theatre, and in print culture invites theatre historians and critics to check the impulse to downplay or ignore questions about race and ethnicity in discussion of the Bowery Boy. J. Chris Westgate further explores links between the Bowery Boy’s rowdyism in the nineteenth century and the resurgence of white supremacy in the early twenty-first century.
Book Synopsis A History of Polish Theatre by : Katarzyna Fazan

Book excerpt: "There is no such thing as one Polish culture. Even understood in the most broad and simple sense, that is, as a collection of all the cultural achievements made by Poles together, one immediately faces problems with understanding the concepts of 'Polishness' and 'cultural achievement' themselves. The historical, geographical, legal, ethnic, religious, and linguistic changes - and differences - create such a diversity that it is impossible to find one commonality through which one homogeneous sense or meaning can be teased out. Even though schooling - for example - reproduces such simplifying, patriotic models, it does not mean they translate into a consistent interpretation. Lastly, every narrative within cultural studies reveals and names as much as it covers and conceals; this is because it cannot be constructed without emphasizing certain facts while silencing others. The 'one culture', then, breaks up into a multitude of cultures. The monologue of the centrally-defined discourse of Polishness passes into a polyphony of peripheries, into a dialogue of subcultures of borderlands, into a chorus of those who are to be silenced by the homogeneous centre"--

Book Synopsis Polish Theatre after the Fall of Communism by : Olga Śmiechowicz
Download or read book Polish Theatre after the Fall of Communism written by Olga Śmiechowicz and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In international theatre studies, there has been a dearth of studies on Polish contemporary theatre. This book investigates how Polish theatre has changed since 1989 and the fall of Communism. It introduces the most prominent Polish theatre directors, namely Krystian Lupa and his two extremely talented students Krzysztof Warlikowski and Jan Klata. All three of them represent three absolutely different types of aesthetics and ways of thinking about theatre: Krystian Lupa mostly concentrates on Austrian and Russian literature. Krzysztof Warlikowski’s theatre is based on stage versions of William Shakespeare or Ancient authors. Jan Klata focuses his attention on Polish history and current social problems. This book highlights the creativity of Polish contemporary theatre, and shows how different from most theatre traditions in other European countries it is.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Polish Theatre and Drama (1956-1984) by : E J Czerwinski
Download or read book Contemporary Polish Theatre and Drama (1956-1984) written by E J Czerwinski and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-11-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A valuable resource and guide for scholars, students, and theater professionals, this book will be appreciated by general readers with an interest in contemporary theater. It is an appropriate choice for large or small theater collections. Books on the Theater Although European critics have recognized Poland's distinctive contributions to theatre since the beginning of the twentieth century, American audiences first became acquainted with Polish drama only in the 1960s through the work of Jerzy Grotowski and his avant-garde Laboratory Theatre. Grotowski's productions served to stimulate interest in several other Polish dramatists whose plays have since been produced by Off-Broadway and university theatre groups. Until the publication of Professor Czerwinski's study, however, little information on Polish theatre as a whole has been available to English-speaking readers and audiences. This volume is the first to survey the work of the most important and representative contemporary Polish dramatists and directors and to analyze their contributions to both Polish and Slavic theatrical traditions. A chronology of important premieres and other productions provides a guide to the unfolding of Polish drama since 1956. Descriptions of dramatic works give detailed summaries of plot, action, and characters as well as information on productions and how they fared under Polish censorship. The impact of censorship on dramatic writers is discussed, particularly the response of cloaking social commentary in elaborate metaphor. In this connection, the jester-priest metaphor, which was associated with the Polish Theater of the Absurd during the repressive 1960s, is of particular significance in the development of Polish drama. Professor Czerwinski looks at the influence of Dialog, the Polish monthly that served as the unofficial organ of artists and intellectuals during the 1950s and 1960s and introduced every important dramatist of the period. He considers the drama of the Solidarity and Post-Solidarity periods, thoughfully assessing the effects of the labor union movement on Polish theater.
Book Synopsis Thornton Wilder in Collaboration by : Jackson R. Bryer
Download or read book Thornton Wilder in Collaboration written by Jackson R. Bryer and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume evolved from papers presented at the Second International Thornton Wilder Conference, held at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, in June 2015. They examine Wilder’s work as both playwright and novelist, focusing upon how he drew on the collaborative mode of creativity required in the theatre, when writing both drama and fiction. The book’s authors use the term “collaboration” in its broadest sense, at times in response to Wilder’s critics who faulted him for “borrowing” from other, earlier, literary works rather than recognizing these “borrowings” as central to the artistic process of collaboration. In exploring Wilder’s collaborative efforts of different kinds, the essays not only consider how Wilder worked with and revised earlier literary texts and the ideas central to those texts, but also analyze how Wilder worked with and inspired other creative individuals and how recent productions of Wilder’s plays, both in the US and abroad, have been the products of unique forms of collaboration.

Book Synopsis Revisiting Modernity and the Holocaust by : Jack Palmer
Download or read book Revisiting Modernity and the Holocaust written by Jack Palmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zygmunt Bauman’s Modernity and the Holocaust is a decisive text of intellectual reflection after Auschwitz, in which Bauman rejected the idea that the Holocaust represented the polar opposite of modernity and saw it instead as its dark potentiality. Bringing together leading scholars from across disciplines, this volume offers the first set of focused and critical commentaries on this classic work of social theory, evaluating its ongoing contribution to scholarship in the social sciences and humanities. Addressing the core messages of Modernity and the Holocaust that continue to sound amidst the convulsions of the present, the chapters situate Bauman’s volume in the social, cultural and academic context of its genesis, and considers its role in the complex processes of Holocaust memorialisation. Offering extensions of Bauman’s thesis to lesser-known and undertheorised events of mass violence, and also considering the significance of Janina Bauman’s writings in their own right, this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology, intellectual history, Holocaust and genocide studies, moral philosophy, memory studies and cultural theory.
Book Synopsis Voices from Within: Grotowski's Polish Collaborators by : Paul Allain
Download or read book Voices from Within: Grotowski's Polish Collaborators written by Paul Allain and published by Polish Theatre Perspectives. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voices from Within: Grotowski’s Polish Collaborators brings together, for the first time in English, the distinctive voices of renowned director Jerzy Grotowski’s Polish colleagues, providing a rare insight into different areas of their research and work. Through conversations, recollections, journal entries, images, working notes, and other testimonies, the collection opens up a range of perspectives on this changing practice — both within and beyond the theatre — from the actors, artists, designers, producers, administrators, and investigators who co-created it. The book spans the full period of Grotowski’s career, from the ‘theatre of productions’ phase, through paratheatre and Theatre of Sources, to the final phase of ‘Art as vehicle’ following his emigration from Poland. What emerges from these narratives is a genuinely collaborative endeavour that, as Grotowski himself comments within — in a note distributed with the Laboratory Theatre’s touring productions — is often mistakenly associated with ‘his name and his name alone’. Voices from Within makes an important contribution to international understanding of this work, by offering a multi-vocal ‘insiders’ account’ of the collective and individual searches, uncertainties, discoveries, and experiences that accompanied many of Grotowski’s long-time creative partnerships. This title is available in paperback and as an Open Access ebook.
