Academic literature on the topic 'Acting Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.)'

Background. Actuality of the research theme. The awareness of the importance of mastering the treasures of the native language is dictated by the rapid development of modern Ukrainian statehood. The problems of artistic culture are very acute today, and the educational role of national literature, theater, cinema, broadcasting, television in modern society is increasing. One of the ways of forming a linguistic culture is the constant contact of the country’s population with the artistic word presented at the appropriate professional level. Therefore, the professional skill of the artist-actor as the bearer of the artistic word and the direct interpreter of cultural values embodied in the artistic work becomes of great importance as a means of fulfilling this vital aesthetic-educational mission. Thus, the study of the process of improving the actor’s professional skills of the stage language, the ways of optimizing of modern education in this field seems very relevant. Analysis of recent publications on the research topic. The problems of the culture of speech, the expressiveness of the oral word, the creative nature of the artistic language and its contemporary sound on the stage are highlighted in many scientific works of theatrical teachers, linguists and theatrical scholars, psychologists and sociologists. The special investigations in the field of stage language in recent years are the works of the practitioners of artistic word, the Ukrainian actors and teachers R. Cherkashin, Yu. Sheyko, L. Vazhniova, A. Gladysheva and others. So, Yu. Sheyko pays much attention to the norms of Ukrainian oral literary speech, and insists on the need for the development of the intelligence of a contemporary actor. As the techniques of speech are an integral part of the learning process, the tutorials of L. Vazhniova and A. Gladysheva are devoted to the development of skills of high-artistic embodiment of the work. However, the special studies devoted to the formation of actor voice skills as part of the process of understanding the important role of punctuation marks in the artistic interpretation of the work were not carried out. Methodology, goals, objectives, practical value of the research. The combination of training and creative aspects of the theory and practice of the stage language requires a great deal of methodological flexibility. The proposed article, devoted to the improvement of the actor’s educational activity on mastering the skills of the stage language, uses a complex methodological base, which combines a wide cultural and highly specialized, purely methodical, approaches to the analysis of the process of work on the acquisition of practical skills of the stage language. The first involves entering adjoining artistic spheres – literary and musical; the second refers to concrete – to the practice of stage action. Their combination allows us to construct an optimal algorithm for the work of the actor over the interpretation of artistic text within the framework of the study, which is his goal. Such an algorithm, aimed at perfect mastering the heights of professional skill, can be used successfully in the acting practice of the stage speech. The results of the study. The article emphasizes the importance of the stage of analytical work with literary text, both in a broad historical and stylistic context, and in details, in order to “appropriate” the position of author of the work and, further, create self-own actor’s interpretation. A versatile analysis of the text, preparing it for reading, can be done in this way. 1. Determine the type of work – is this the entire work or a fragment; if this is a fragment, then what is exactly? (Excerpt from the poem, a passage from the ballad, prose, etc.). 2. Having defined the species, it is necessary to give the work the cultural and historical characteristic (at what time it is written, to which national culture belongs, on which social ground it arose, what is the outlook and life positions of the author of the text and peculiarities of his work, the place of work in the author’s creativity, the distinctive features the era in which the author worked, and the one about which the work tells, is the text original or translated etc.). 3. To carry out the ideological-thematic and plot analysis of the work, to determine its main idea, to disclose in connection with it the logical content of the text, to determine what kind of plot vicissitudes prevail. 4. To analyze, how much the author turns to sensual, visual, auditory phenomena. 5. Identify and “view” the spectacular content of the text. 6. It is necessary to understand what the form of a work is, which stylistic and author’s techniques are used to create an artistic whole. 7. On the basis of such a detailed analysis, one should check the first impression of the whole and redefine the content-like structure of the work. 8. Determine the personal attitude to the work. 9. To work on the “vision” of the text. 10. Based on our findings and in depth study of the work, we should outline the line of the dynamic and tempo-rhythmic interpretation of the work. Assistants of the actor in the awareness of the author’s intention become punctuation marks, which also mark the way to artistic expression of speech. Like a musician, an actor should distinguish them by intonation: by changing pitch, volume, tempo, rhythm of speech. Therefore, in our opinion, the creative using of analogies with musical syntax (pauses, leagues, rubato, etc.) and with performing touches of a musician (legato, marcato, etc.) is appropriate in working on the stage speech. The next key point in creating a convincing stage interpretation is his own acting “visions” (K. Stanislavsky’s term), which the performer creates in his imagination based on his previous sensual, intellectual, life experience. Tied to a verbal text, they make it possible for an actor to experience an emotoin of such a force that is able to establish “feedback” with the audience at the time of the stage embodiment of the work. Conclusions and perspectives of the research. The presence of a “feedback” with audience is a prerequisite for the fact that the stage speech, as a special kind of literary language and, at the same time, a socially prestigious form of communication, forms a linguistic culture. It is inextricably linked with the development of society and is the bearer of language traditions of the people. Therefore, the prospects of studying the speech art are seen in the ways of its improvement: the creative decision of the main tasks of the course of the stage speech, the most important of which is a full and meaningful presentation to the audience of art intention through a set of skills aimed at voice expressiveness, precision of diction and clarity of pronunciation in the process of theatrical communication. Punctuation is the way to expressive speech. Punctuation marks discipline our language, and this must be remembered by everyone – students, actors, everyone who is working on a language, because excessive hastiness is the greatest enemy of beginners.

The Subject of the study is personal resistance, which occupies an important place among the objects of philosophical understanding. Therefore, its implementation in fiction, especially in the Ukrainian drama of the last decade, is quite relevant. The Revolution of Dignity has made its adjustments in understanding the motives of resistance, compared to previous revolutions and coups, because that experience took place with completely different information and technical capabilities, and they are important for the organization of people. In addition, the motive of resistance has its own tradition in Ukrainian literature, consisting of works by Taras Shevchenko, poets of “Visnyk”, sixtiers, and dissidents. However, it is mainly journalism and poetry. A new wave of Ukrainian resistance poured into literature. But it is especially important to study the motive of resistance in the dramatic sense, because it is a somewhat new experience. Any resistance movement has a number of organizational and psychological conditions under which it takes place. These conditions are reflected, if not differently, then with shifted accents in the texts of the plays. The article considers dramatic works written before, during and after the Revolution of Dignity. The aim of the article is to trace how the artistic understanding of the social causes and identity of the participant of the resistance movement has changed in the plays dedicated to the Maidan in 2013–2014 and the events taking place in Ukraine as a result of the Revolution. Special attention is paid to the formation of the image of a hero, fighter, patriot. The development of personal resistance in accordance with the described events and the time of their action are considered. Methods of plot and textual analysis, conflict studies and intertextual methods have been used to achieve the set tasks. The study is based on two anthologies of modern Ukrainian drama “Maidan. Before and after” and “Labyrinth of ice and fire”. Due to their structure, these collections allow us to consider personal resistance as a dream, as a real acting image and as a heroic, patriotic feat. Also, the article traces the literary means of creating such an image, and how these means change depending on the development of the image in the texts. All dramas create a generalized image of a Ukrainian, who has all the best qualities, impulses and views, he has high patriotism, willpower, courage, etc., and is thus the image of the Ukrainian who “lacks” the country. This is a dream hero. However, in different sections of the collections, this image changes, transforms and improves. And at the same time the motive of the participant's resistance changes. For the first time, it is traced how Ukrainian playwrights felt and understood the reasons and the course of social, including personal, resistance that led to the Revolution of Dignity. Particular attention is paid to differences in the artistic interpretation of the same motive of social and personal resistance. Also, for the first time, the connection of the resistance motive with the artistic conflicts of the plays of the collections “Maidan. Before and after” and “Labyrinth of ice and fire” is retraced. The material can be used for further in-depth research on this topic, such as the study of texts of epic genres about the Maidan and even poetry collections.

We consider the phenomenon of network literature as an integral part of the modern literary process. We analyze such a phenomenon as a “writing blog” for its compliance with the basic requirements of the neterature: hypertextuality, interactivity, multimedia, informality and pro-cessuality of the text, as well as its semantic content. We conduct a study of the author’s blogs of D. Glukhovsky, E. Vodolazkin, E. Grishkovets, on the one hand, as methods of creating an artistic work, on the other, as ways of promoting the personality and creativity of the writer. Meanwhile, we identify not only the author’s peculiarities of blogging and communication of writers with the readership, but also the individual approaches of particular artistic individuals to the creation and popularization of their works (collective texts writing, combining an artistic work with multimedia content, etc.). We consider the issue of studying online literature in secondary educational institu-tions, and also develop ways to solve it. In particular, we propose an introduction to the educational process of research project work on topical issues of neterature, modern interactive teaching methods, as well as communication of schoolchildren with modern network writers in the format of forums and blogs.

The problem of Nabokov’s artistic identity is relevant for contemporary literature studies. The researchers interpret writer’s estimation of his Russian works differently: in his American years, Nabokov (1) created a new artistic identity (A. Dolinin) and started a new career (N. Cornwell) or (2) developed his general themes (B. Boyd), targeted at English readers. The unique status of the texts written in French is defined by their “phantom” nature (M. Malikova) and the “final work with the literature legacy” (A. Babikov). In our research, the problem of Nabokov’s identity is analyzed for the first time in its connection with the methods of creation of the “phantom” fictional world. Our research subject includes the poem “The Poets” and the short story “Vasiliy Shishkov”. The texts are considered within the literary-critical and artistic contexts. The purpose of this article is to determine how the reflection of one’s own and other people’s creativity is built in these works, taking into account that perceptual imagery serves as tools for aesthetic assessment for Nabokov. The main research method in the work is structural-semiotic analysis: perceptual images are characterized by the variety of their localization, by the method of creation and distribution, by their attitude to the background, etc. The structural-semiotic approach to the analysis of literary texts has revealed the value of “phantom” or “distinctness” in Nabokov’s artistic optics. The intensity of sensations is directly related to the status of the subject of perception and to its position in the hierarchy of fictional worlds (Vasily Shishkov is the fiction of the narrator, the narrator is the fiction of the emigrant writer Nabokov). The impossibility of reliable perception, its continuity and limitation within the framework of an entire era or individual life are assessed by Nabokov as important conditions for creative development, especially significant in a situation of reflection on a new addressee art creation.

The article deals with teaching and researching stage speech on the supposition that researching stage speech influences how we teach stage speech. Stage speech is an artistic speech that researchers try to study and explain in a scientific manner, i.e. with scientific terminology and methods. Modern studies of stage speech are interdisciplinary (they combine phonetics and theatre studies, literary theory and history, sociology, etc.) and no longer just studies on a stricly linguistic (phonetic) level. The article shows a model of a scientific and interdisciplinary study of stage speech and its influence on or connection to how it is taught. The teaching of stage speech, which is shown on the example of students of Stage Acting at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television, balances between science and art as well as between theory and practice. The article demonstrates that researching stage speech influences the teaching that is also interdisciplinary, based on artistic and scientific concepts and constantly combines theory and practice.

The article aims at presenting the project Russian Orientalism (Science, Art, Collections), conducted by the team of researchers from the KunstkameraMuseum (St. Petersburg). We offer the reader an interpretation of orientalism, as having an inner unity of the way of perception and vision of the East, its co-creation, expressed in a wide variety of aspects: professional and scientific, artistic, everyday, etc. The resulting book shows that Russia's and “Orient” mutual history testifies to a continuous dialogue, through which we, realizing our dissimilarity, try to understand not only the Other, but also ourselves, through our reflection in it.

Mei Lanfang's contact with Stanislavsky during his 1935 tour in the Soviet Union and the latter's often-cited ‘appraisal’ of the acting of traditional Chinese theatre have exerted a profound and lasting influence on the Chinese understanding and evaluation of the art of their traditional theatre. Through extensive research into the related archival material, as well as contemporary records, this article investigates the historical facts and circumstances that underlie this historic intercultural moment on the twentieth-century international stage. It unweaves the historical construction of this remarkable intercultural phenomenon and exposes its political and ideological underpinnings as well as its theatrical and artistic placements and displacements. It underscores the necessity of deconstructing the creation of such an intercultural myth for today's historical understanding of the art of traditional Chinese theatre and, by implication, in a larger context, of the global making of twentieth-century intercultural theatre.

The books’ role in the German Enlightenment discourse explores the intersection of different but complementary disciplines: bibliology, philosophy of culture and «text linguistics», as well as the history of literature that expands the possibilities of studying cultural and public communication. A text (magazine, book) is interpreted as a mechanism that controls the process of learning and understanding. To illustrate the study theoretical foundations, the author considers the historical practice of the literary era in Germany in 1770-1790. The struggle of «cilturtregers» to renew German culture moved from the political sphere to journalism and literature. The author concludes that the book (both scientific and artistic) and reading became a factor of social communication. The struggle for the renewal of German culture, its national identity preservation due to a number of historical reasons hindering the development of the country moved from the political sphere to the journalism and literature field. It was closely connected with the whole complex of the European Enlightenment ideas. The book - both scientific (philosophical work, art treatise) and artistic one (literary and journalistic composition, dramatic creation, etc.) became an indispensable tool of the nation aesthetic education. In such circumstances, a book obtains the significance of not only the «source of knowledge» but a kind of «catechism» to struggle for national culture. Thus, considering a book text as a phenomenon of the German culture of the Enlightenment century with ideological and aesthetic significance, it should be especially notes that such a «text» (a book of scientific, philosophical, moralistic or artistic content) is addressed both to a specific reader, a representative of some class, and to a «collective reader». The German novel (it is the genre of «trivial» literature that is considered directly) is a product of the era. The dialogue «author - reader» (or a complicated triad «author - publisher - reader») was the basis of the nation estetic education. Reading became a fact (and a factor) of social communication. The German book has been transformed from an expensive and exclusive «source of knowledge» targeted for scientists, connoisseurs of «beauty» to a catechism (available for the ordinary reader) of the national struggle to preserve the German culture self-existence and to acquaint the nation to the treasures of the world classical «ancient» and modern literature.

The main purpose of this article is to introduce readers to the linguistic embodiment of the teacher’s image in the short stories by A.P. Chekhov. In recent decades the linguistic personality of the characters of artistic works has often become the subject of thorough linguistic and literary analysis. A.P. Chekhov, being the master of humorous stories, aims at introducing certain features typical only for the images of characters representing various professions but at the same time corresponding to the genre of the work itself. Attention to details, many artistic features are the hallmark of this writer’s work. A.P. Chekhov works through each image at all levels: structural, semantic and linguistic (thesaurus). That is why Chekhov’s works arouse research interest among both literary critics and linguists. The linguistic personality of the teacher in Chekhov’s stories is formed in accordance with the tasks that the writer sets at the time of the creation of the work (for example, a humorous short story, memoirs, etc.). Analysis of the character’s speech characteristics, the verbal portrait of the character allows us to identify the distinctive features of Chekhov’s language and form an idea of the writer as a thinker and researcher of the native language. Working on the semantic level of the linguistic personality allows to reflect on the moral and ethical potential of the characters of Anton Chekhov’s stories.

Modern researchers consider the oeuvre of Sigizmund Dominikovich Krzhizhanovsky, the Russian-speaking writer of Polish origin, to be a “literary phenomenon” and a “literary discovery” of the twentieth century. Publications, translations into many world languages and active scholar familiarization with the writer’s heritage begins in the end of XX – at the beginning of XXI centuries. The article examines the Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky’s prose that presents the original artistic heterogeneous universe, where a “multidimensional world” becomes the structure creating model. In the Krzhizhanovsky’s prose a word-creative experiment plays an important role in the creation of many interconnected worlds. The number of writer’s occasional forms even does not undergo an approximate estimation. The second important factor of creating a model of “multidimensional world” is defamiliarization (by Victor Shklovsky) as a phenomenological and gnoseological principle and method. The writer’s artistic consciousness is based on the phenomenon of understanding, connected with the change of vision and understanding, which pulls objects or things out of usual contexts of recognition and re-describing them as a “new discovered” phenomena. Due to this the usual appears unusual, strange. Krzhizhanovsky creates conditional, metaphysical, phantasmagorical and paradoxical worlds. In these strange worlds boundaries of Real and Irreal are blurred, the fiction itself acquires a real image, and reality emerges fantastic. The “logic” of alogism and paradoxes often functions in these worlds. In the artistic language the writer uses the strategy of “morbid” nomination that creatively enriches speech resources and refreshes the literary thesaurus. In the Krzhizhanovsky’s artistic world dominant narrative and pictorial strategies are also based on the next methods: the reviving of things, phenomena and abstract notions, thoughts and words, etc.; materialisation and narrative implementation of metaphors; the use of grotesque. An important role is played by the saturated intertextuality and game modus at different levels: from language and speech to codification of culture. In such a way the author’s model of Philosophy of creativity and philosophy of culture as an endless polyphonic polylog, continuous creative process and boundless creative imagination is realized.

Resumo: Inscrito na linha de pesquisa em processo criativo, este trabalho em escrita de roteiro, apresenta dois objetos resultantes de uma prática realizada por seu autor. O roteiro "Alô! Kitty" para cinema de ficção longa metragem. E um memorial reflexivo e teórico sobre o processo criativo. Da conjugação destes dois objetos, propõe-se observar a manifestação de um pensamento artístico, e também a tentativa de seu autor em refletir a experiência de expressá-lo: em relatos do contexto vivido durante o processo e também de sua biografia; apresentando as principais referências criativas e a tentativa de incorporá-las de forma diferenciada à criação artística; em reflexões sobre o conteúdo teórico apreendido, e sua influência na prática artística; etc. O roteiro narra a história de uma mulher desvendando o mistério de sua própria morte. Kitty, a personagem principal, depara-se nesta jornada com entidades e deidades que personificam sentidos arquetípicos preponderantes à contemporaneidade. Articulação narrativa esta, de atualização de mitos, inspirada, por sua vez, em uma tendência de Histórias em Quadrinhos (HQs), adultas e de horror, desenvolvida, sobretudo, no fim dos anos 1980 e no decorrer da década de 1990. O tema da narrativa, neste sentido, reporta-se à instabilidade dos sentidos na contemporaneidade. No âmbito da reflexão, o escopo teórico se apóia principalmente nas relações entre narrativa e contemporaneidade. Neste sentido, a presença de abordagens teóricas por vezes conflitantes, como a filosofia analítica de Lyotard e a semiologia do cinema de Parente, em contraste com a teoria dos arquétipos de Jung e a mitologia comparada de Campbell, justifica-se, segundo propõe o autor, pela legitimidade de uma abordagem multirreferencial
Abstract: Included in the line of research in the creative process, this work on script writing presents two resulting objects from a practice realized by the author. The script "Alô! Kitty", a feature-length fiction film. And a reflective and theoritical memorial about creative process. The combination of these two objects, it is proposed to observe the manifestation of an artistic thought, and also the attempt of its author to reflect the experience of expressing it: reports in the context experienced during the process and also of his biography; presenting the main references and creative attempt to incorporate them in different ways to artistic creation; reflections on the theoretical content learned, and their influence on artistic practice, etc. The screenplay tells the story of a woman unraveling the mystery of her own death. Kitty, the main character, faces in this journey with entities and deities who embody archetypal meanings compelling to contemporary. This narrative articulation, for reenactment of myth, inspired, in turn, in a trend of comics, adult and horror, as developed primarily in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s. In this sense, the theme of the narrative refers to the instability of meanings in contemporary society. In the context of reflection, the theoretical scope rests primarily in relations between narrative and contemporary. In this sense, the presence of sometimes conflicting theoretical approaches such as analytic philosophy of Lyotard and semiology of film A. Parente, in contrast to the theory of archetypes C. G. Jung and the comparative mythology of J. Campbell is justified, according to the author proposes, for the legitimacy of a multi-referential approach

Resumo: A pesquisa aqui apresentada busca o entendimento, sob o ponto de vista das Artes Visuais, do processo criativo dos recintos expositivos pertencentes à exposição "O Caminho da Serpente". Sediada na Fundação Parque Zoológico de São Paulo (FPZSP), essa mostra é direcionada para a manutenção e exposição da população de serpentes pertencente à Fundação. Contudo, o seu objetivo não se limita a apresentar ao público espécimes nativos e exóticos em um cenário "bonito" e, sim, construir um ambiente propício ao bem-estar dos animais, bem como a vivências que resultem na educação ambiental e no vínculo positivo do visitante com as serpentes. Dentro desse projeto expositivo abrangente, encontra-se o objeto de estudo: o processo de criação coletivo e multidisciplinar de ambientações realistas, fundadas na representação de um habitat selvagem, e destinadas à manutenção e exposição de um ser vivo. E considerando que a pesquisa está imersa em um contexto de interface entre áreas, abarcando a criação em artes visuais, bem como o universo dos zoológicos, optou-se por abordar e discutir esse mesmo objeto, a partir de um elemento que sempre se manteve como campo propício de englobar a criação, identificado como mediador de ambos os universos e constantes em todo o processo: a paisagem
Abstract: The research presented here seeks to understand, under the point of view of the Visual Arts, the creative process of exhibition venues belonging to the exhibition "O Caminho das Serpentes". Headquartered in the Zoological Park of São Paulo, this show is directed to the maintenance and exposure of the population of snakes belonging to the Foundation. However, its goal is not limited to present to the public native and exotic specimens in a "beautiful "scenario, and yes, build an environment favorable to the welfare of animals, as well as the experiences that result in environmental education and the positive bond of the visitor with snakes. Within this extensive exhibition project, is object of study: the processes of creating collectives and multidisciplinary realistic ambientations, based on the representation of a wildlife habitat and designed to the maintain and exposure of a living being. And considering that research is embedded in a context of interface between areas, encompassing the creation in visual arts as well as the world of zoos, it was decided to address and discuss the same subject, from an element that always kept as favorable field to encompass creation, identified as a mediator of both universes and constant throughout all process: the landscape

Nous souhaitons penser l’improvisation théâtrale « libre » dans une continuité de nature avec le théâtre à deux temps. L’improvisation théâtrale s’est en effet déterminée au cours des quarante dernières années comme un champ à part, avec son histoire et ses règles propres. En nous consacrant à l’improvisation « libre », nous considérons une improvisation qui ne fait pas intervenir a priori de structure d’ensemble, de règles formelles ou stylistiques, qui laisse aux improvisateurs la responsabilité de les déterminer eux-mêmes. Si ce type d’improvisation est courant en musique ou en danse, il reste rare ou ponctuel au théâtre. C’est à travers la notion d’acteur-créateur, telle que l’ont définie Alain Knapp et le Théâtre-Création, que nous la retrouvons. Ce groupe (Lausanne, 1968–1975) a été l’un des premiers en Europe à produire des spectacles improvisés sur des thèmes proposés parle public. Alain Knapp, en héritier de Brecht, nous aide à penser un acteur-créateur qui se distingue de l’improvisateur contemporain par son autonomie créatrice, et par l’attention qu’il porte à l’inscription de ses actes artistiques dans un contexte et une histoire. Revenant à aujourd’hui, nous réinvestissons cette notion d’acteur-créateur à travers celle de performativité. Un ensemble d’expériences et un laboratoire de recherche-action centré sur les perspectives (viewpoints) nous permettent de développer une conception pratique de l’improvisation comme étude d’un contexte par un répertoire. Enfin, ayant explicité quelle liberté est à l’oeuvre dans l’improvisation « libre »et comment la reconnaître, nous décrivons le continuum qui relie cette dernière à la représentation verrouillée
We want to think of free-improvisation in theater in a continuity with traditional theatre. Theatrical improvisation has indeed grown over the last forty years as a separate field, with its ownrules and history. By dedicating ourselves to free-improvisation, we concentrate on an improvisation that does not involve a preconceived overall structure, or formal or stylistic rules, which leaves improvisers with the responsibility to decide them on the spot. Whereas common in music and dance, free-improvisation is rare or occasional in theatre. It is approached through the notion of actor-creator, as it was defined by Alain Knapp and the Théâtre-Création. This group (Lausanne,1968-1975 ) was one of the first in Europe to perform improvised plays on themes proposed by the audience. Drawing a lot from Brecht, Alain Knapp’s actor-creator has a creative autonomy and pay great detail to the way his artistic acts are inscribed in a given background and history.This distinguishes him from contemporary improvisers. Back to the present, we renew the notion of actor-creator through performativity. A set of experiments and a laboratory focused on Mary Overlie’s Viewpoints allow us to develop a practical approach to improvisation as a study of a context through a repertoire. Finally, having explained which idea of liberty is at work in free-improvisationand how to recognize it, we describe a continuum that connects it to set performances

Esta pesquisa se refere a um estudo prático-teórico, na linha de Poéticas e Processos de Encenação em Artes Cênicas e foi conduzida pelo desejo da pesquisadora de ampliar os conhecimentos de sua formação como artista e professora de teatro. Trata-se da produção de um contexto poético-reflexivo, no qual se cruzam três grandes campos: Processos Criativos, Imaginário e Teatro de Animação. Teve como objeto disparador a prática da atriz que construiu e animou seu próprio personagem-boneco no espetáculo Protocolo Lunar. Neste considerou-se as interfaces do Teatro de Animação como encenação contemporânea com estratégias metodológicas colaborativas. No referido contexto, foram compreendidos, interpretados e tornados visíveis Princípios e Procedimentos criativos de concepção, construção e atuação do personagem-boneco para cena a partir do ponto de vista de quem constrói e anima. Trata-se de metodologia adequada a processos de criação artística, que opera com a Abordagem Compreensiva apresentada por Sonia Rangel, a qual, entre outros autores, se apoia na Teoria da Formatividade de Luigi Pareyson. Igualmente, foram considerados os pensamentos de outros autores para fundamentar a pesquisa, tais como Ana Maria Amaral, Valmor Beltrame, Henryk Jurkowski, Gaston Bachelard, Cecília Almeida Salles, Ítalo Calvino, Klauss Vianna, Marco Souza. A pesquisa de campo foi desenvolvida a partir de Laboratórios Criativos com o Grupo Os Imaginários, além de incluir o diálogo com três outros artistas, Gil Teixeira, de Salvador, Bahia; Anibal Pacha, de Belém do Pará e Marcelo Lafontana, de Vila do Conde, Portugal, por meio de entrevistas. Eles foram selecionados pelo critério de também partilharem prática cênica semelhante. A perspectiva, além de registrar a memória de processos criativos em Teatro de Animação, é poder articular com outras pesquisas realizadas, colaborar com a discussão, o aprofundamento, os desdobramentos e a ampliação das reflexões que já existem neste campo.
This research refers to a practical-theoretical study, in the Poetics and Processes Staging Performing Arts in line and was driven by the desire of the researcher to broaden the knowledge of his training as an artist and teacher of theater. It is the production of a poetic-reflexive context in which intersect three major fields: Creative Processes, Imaginary and Animation Theater. Object was to trigger the practice of the actress who has built his own character and animated puppet-show in Lunar Protocol. This was considered the interfaces of the Animation Theater as contemporary staging with collaborative methodological strategies. In that context, were understood, interpreted and made visible Principles and Procedures of creative design, construction and performance character-puppet to the scene from the point of view of who builds and animates. It is suitable for artistic creation processes, which operates the Comprehensive Approach by Sonia Rangel, which, among others, rests on the theory formativeness Luigi Pareyson methodology. Also, we considered the thoughts of other authors to support research, such as Ana Maria Amaral, Valmor Beltrame, Henryk Jurkowski, Gaston Bachelard, Cecilia Almeida Salles, Italo Calvino, Klauss Vianna, Marco Souza. The field research was developed from Creative Labs with Imaginary Group and includes dialogue with three other artists, Gil Teixeira, Salvador, Bahia; Anibal Pacha, of Belém do Pará and Marcelo Lafontana, Vila do Conde, Portugal, through interviews.

The lack of discussion on art in Spinoza's works has led to the belief that a) the principles of his philosophy are actively hostile to art, and b) that his philosophy has nothing to offer regarding art's theorisation. This thesis examines the few places that Spinoza refers to art in order to discern three things: I) what Spinoza's thoughts on art are; II) how his views on art fit into the wider themes of his philosophy; and III) how his general philosophical position as well as his specific ideas on art might contribute to new models of theorising art. In Chapter One I develop Spinoza's relational and naturalistic concept of individuation, therein providing the theoretical ground for the subsequent chapters which, following Spinoza, treat the work of art as a complex body that conforms to the rules of individuation as they are developed across the Ethics. Chapter Two locates Spinoza's views on the creative act from what he notes of architecture, painting, and other 'things of this kind' in IIIP2Schol. Here I argue that Spinoza radically naturalises the creative act, deriving it from the complex causal activity of extended substance itself. To this extent art is given in IIIP2Schol as an expression of the complexity of Nature. Chapter Three turns to Spinoza's brief words on art and culture in IVP45Schol to ascertain his position on artistic experience. Here I argue that according to IVP45Schol art's necessity for the wise man lies in its ability to foster affective complexity. Chapter Four turns to that other peculiarly human artefact, Holy Scripture, to identify how 'nonnatural' objects come to be differentiated from merely 'natural' objects in Spinoza's strong naturalism. Finally I end with an appendix that brings Spinozistic principles to bear on a consideration of a poem by Futurist poet Mina Loy.

This paper is the first complex research of lexical synonyms as components of the artistic discourse of modern Ukrainian female prose introduced into the field of semantic, linguistic and stylistic analysis. The scientific novelty of the paper is that for the first time in linguistic and Ukrainian studies the lexical synonymy in modern Ukrainian female prose is comprehensively explored, as a result of which the semantic, linguistic and stylistic features of synonyms are clarified. The study proves that in the analyzed works lexical synonyms, which express the idiolects of modern Ukrainian female prose writers and constitute a set of expressive and imaging marking means of their language creation, represent a number of semantic, linguistic-stylistic, categories. Which allows interpreting them not only in the functional-semantic context but also within linguostylistics. Modern Ukrainian female prose in Ukrainian literature is the latest holistic socio-cultural phenomenon is represented by the works of such authors as Emma Andiievska, Sophiia Andrukhovych, Nina Bichui, Liuko Dashvar, Oksana Zabuzhko, Kateryna Kalytko, Irena Karpa, Yevhenii Kononenko, Maria Matios and others. In the paper it is proved that word convergences appear in the literary text because of the special purpose, the purpose set by the authors, therefore they become striking representatives of idiolects of separate masters of prose. In the paper a detailed analysis of lexical synonyms is carried out, which in the artistic discourse of modern Ukrainian female prose perform a number of basic and additional functions, among which are: functions of differentiation, substitution, aesthetics, synonymic opposition, etc. Using lexical synonyms in different contexts, prose female writers always carefully weigh the semantic nuances of each word, thus achieving the expressiveness, sophistication and high aesthetic value of their literature.
