Abstract:

Vitruvius' legacy points to the importance of music in architecture for enhancing the acoustics of ancient theaters. In particular, he described in detail the sounding vessels, or ηχεια – “echea”, the effectiveness of which has not been proven. The effect of “echeas” on the acoustic parameters of a small classical Greek theater is investigated using computer modeling methods. The theater models developed take into account Vitruvius' recommendations and published research and measurements of ancient theater acoustic parameters reconstructed in our time. The descriptions of Vitruvius and the musical theories of Aristoxenus and Pythagoras were considered when developing the “echeas” models. Using the standard algorithm of the EASE4.4 program, the parameters of a small theater were calculated and the C50, C80, STI acoustic parameters of the theater’s sound field were found to benefit from the “echeas” or sounding vessels.

Abstract:

Ancient Amphipolis (Eastern Macedonia, Greece) is one of the most important archaeological sites of Greece. Despite the restricted excavation studies, important monuments have been discovered, such as the city walls and the Macedonian burial site at the Kasta hill, etc. Currently, the location of the ancient theater is unknown and only assumptions can be made regarding its location. In the current study, we aim to detect the accurate location of the ancient theater using archaeological prospection tools, data collected from the excavated sites, and testimonies of people of the modern city. For the first step of the approach, the approximate location of the ancient theater was determined using information derived by archived geospatial data (multi-temporal aerial photographs, satellite image, and Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the area) as well as information regarding the neighboring excavated sites. For the in-depth study of the area of interest, a drone was used for the acquisition of high-resolution geospatial data. The generated orthorectified image (3 cm spatial resolution), DTM, and Digital Surface Model (DSM) allowed the determination of the potential location of the buried orchestra’s center using geometric rules for the design of ancient theaters. Furthermore, using the produced DSM and DTM, terrain cross-sections were generated.

Abstract:

To prevent any misunderstanding, I first would like to clarify that I am not a historian dealing with classical studies; my main disciplines are philosophy and law. However, following a seminar I gave dealing with several philosophical-legal aspects of Greek tragedy, and an article I wrote about the relationship between the concept of guilt in Oedipus Tyrannus and the principle of strict liability in modern criminal law, I have found myself in recent years becoming increasingly interested in the unique culture which emerged in Athens during the classical period, particularly in the 5th century BCE. In the course of that century, Athens was involved in many wars – against the Persians in the early decades, against Sparta (the Peloponnesian War) in the latter decades, and other “minor” wars. And yet despite these wars, during the 5th century BCE Athens was in a state of cultural-social-political ferment that left its mark on the whole history of western culture. In the course of that century, there was in Athens a burgeoning of independent-critical thought in the philosophical domain, nature and medicine were systematically studied, tragedies by the Athenians Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides were written and performed, and the democratic regime took shape.

Abstract:

The author of the article studies the peculiarities of comedy dell’arte, regularities of its poetic techniques. Particular attention is drawn to the style and genre of the dramatic works. The masks of dell’arte (mainly zan), having gone from the notion of a dual creature that is on the verge of a funny and terrible, profane and sacred («spirits and ghosts» of the cult of the crops of fertility, devils of the mysterious action), to the mask types of comedy del arte and further - masks-characters in the work of Goldoni, at the turn of the 19–20 centuries, turned into a symbol of the ancient theater, theater-balagan, the theater is extremely conditional and play, emphasizing the concept of «theatrical theater» in art. Mask dell’arte as the unity of the actor and the character actually ceased to exist, but it was in the traditions of this theater and its characters found inspiration for directors, poets, artists at the turn of the century. The main artistic means of comedy dell’arte are analyzed. The conducted research shows that the main aesthetic principles of commedia dell’arte are reduced to the aesthetic system, which contains three essential elements: firstly, the theater is kept by a professional actor, who completely gives himself to the theater; secondly, the influence of the theater is stronger because of the synthesis of arts: plastic, music, dance and words; and thirdly, the soul of the performance is an action. The methods used in the paper are mixed: close reading, historical data processing, analyses of interdisciplinary resources (literary gerontology, social gerontology, theatre studies). The innovative solution lies in the application of interdisciplinary approach to close reading of drama texts. The results can be practical for classes of Italian literature and study of culture, theatre.

Abstract:

Puppet theater is an integral part of our ancient and rich culture, which differs from other types of art through its colorful and unique creativity. At the same time it is the cradle of all theatrical art forms. Its roots have been enriched, polished and developed by preserving the folklore, traditions, customs and national traditions of our people.

Abstract:

This article points to the complexities of Jewish engagement with theater; thus, despite frequent condemnation of the theater by rabbis we find also more nuanced voices. The article reviews the evidence for Jewish theater attendance in ancient Palestine and the Diaspora, outlines the views on theater in the works of Philo of Alexandria and Flavius Josephus, discusses evidence for Jewish actors and actresses, and takes a look at Ezekiel’s Exagoge, the clearest case of a Jewish drama handed down from antiquity.

Our thesis aims to analyze the relationship between the divine and the human, political and sexual, as well as the relationships established between these plans and the dramatic text from the comedy skit Lysistrata, written by the Greek poet Aristophanes. It is due to show how textual and discursive elements are crucial for the development of the female characters who are opposed to the male characters, either by speech or symbolic images, since the ideal hero to the public administration of the city. It dialogues to some aspects of comic irony, such as the exaggeration and pun, to demonstrate how these elements work together as a discourse, which is an important characteristic for the composition of the part and which by women take the power of the city. We try to analyze the images related to the weave- spin that exemplifies the relationship between creating / narration, in order to demonstrate the feminine imagery that makes up the work. We used, as a guide for our research, the concepts of hero, arete, identity and imagination to confirm our thinking about the social and political aspects of women in ancient Greece. Among the theoretical underpinning our research are the classic reference works such as Homer and Hesiod , the studies of Vernant (1977, 2001) , Silva (1983, 2007), Brandão ( 1985, 1987 ) and POMPEU (1997, 2004).
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar as relações entre os planos divino e humano, político e sexual, como também as relações que se estabelecem entre esses planos e o texto dramático, a partir da peça cômica Lisístrata, do poeta grego Aristófanes. Buscaremos mostrar como os elementos textuais e discursivos são preponderantes para a elaboração das personagens femininas que se contrapõem às personagens masculinas, seja através do discurso ou das imagens simbólicas, desde o ideal de herói até a administração pública da cidade. Abordaremos dentre alguns aspectos do cômico a ironia, o exagero, o trocadilho, buscando demonstrar como esses elementos colaboram como discurso, que constitui importante particularidade para a composição da peça e com o qual as mulheres tomam o poder da cidade. Analisaremos as imagens relacionadas ao tecer/ fiar que exemplificam a relação entre criar/narrar, para procurar comprovar o imaginário feminino que compõe a obra. Utilizaremos como norteadores de nossa investigação os conceitos de herói, areté, identidade e imaginário para confirmar nosso pensamento sobre os aspectos social e político da mulher na Grécia antiga. Dentre os teóricos que sustentam nossa pesquisa estão, além das obras de referência clássica como Homero e Hesíodo, os estudos de VERNANT (1977, 2001), SILVA (1983, 2007), BRANDÃO (1985, 1987) e POMPEU (1997, 2004).

Abstract:

In the sixteenth century, the nocturne genre developed in Italian art introducing the idea of a scene depicted in the darkness of night. This concept of darkness paired with intense light was adopted by Caravaggio in the late sixteenth century and popularized by himself and his followers. The seemingly sudden shift towards darkness and night is puzzling when viewed as individual occurrences in artists’ works. As an entire genre, the night scene bears cultural implications that indicate the level of influence culture and society have over artists and patrons. The rising popularity of the theater and the tension between Protestantism and Catholicism intersected to create a changing view on the perception of darkness and light. This merging of cultural phenomena affected Caravaggio and his contemporaries, prompting them to develop the nocturne genre to meet the growing demands for darker images.

Abstract:

Dans l’Antiquité, en Grèce, la tragédie joue un rôle important dans la vie des Grecs. Il y avait des concours tragiques pendant des fêtes religieuses ; surtout, pendant les Grandes Dionysies, avait lieu le concours tragique le plus important. Beaucoup de dramaturges y participaient et trois grands tragiques ont émergé, dont Eschyle a été le premier dramaturge illustre et connu. Il s’inspirait des sources mythiques et des légendes antiques. Il posait les questions et présentait sur scène les problèmes que les Athéniens rencontraient. Il faisait réfléchir les citoyens athéniens par ses tragédies. Il a introduit de nombreux personnages féminins dans l’espace théâtral et leur a accordé des rôles importants. Cela ne correspondait pas à la situation réelle des femmes grecques de cette période-là. Les femmes grecques devaient rester toujours dans le gynécée, s’occuper des affaires à l’intérieur de la maison, être en charge du filage et du tissage, rester toujours silencieuses sans se mêler des affaires politiques et donner naissance aux enfants pour assurer le renouvellement des générations. En revanche, les figures féminines du monde créé par Eschyle quittent leur gynécée, voyagent, s’exposent devant le public, s’expriment à haute-voix, se mêlent des affaires politiques, refusent le mariage et la maternité ou montrent peu d’amour maternel envers leurs enfants. Mais pourquoi le dramaturge se décide-t-il à mettre sur scène de si nombreuses figures féminines qui ont un rôle important ? D’abord, il ne faut pas oublier que les personnages féminins sont joués par les acteurs masculins et que les chœurs féminins sont constitués de choreutes masculins ; par conséquent, les figures féminines sont créées par le dramaturge Eschyle. Il y a plusieurs raisons : la beauté scénique qui séduit l’attention de l’auditoire ; la nature de femme qui est à l’origine des maux humains et son irrationalité qui pousse le développement tragique ; et la faiblesse féminine qui entraîne le manque de contrôle et de maîtrise de soi et qui rend les figures féminines aptes à jouer le rôle que les personnages masculins ont du mal à interpréter
In ancient Greece, the tragedy plays an important role in the lives of Greeks. There were tragic contests during the religious holidays. During the Great Dionysia, there was the most important tragedy contest. Many playwrights participated in it and there emerged three great tragedians, the first playwright, Aeschylus included. He was inspired by the mythical sources and ancient legends. He showed the problems met by the Athenians on stage through mythical characters. His tragedies made the Athenians think about the problems. He showed many female roles in theatrical space and put them in an important place, which didn't correspond to the real situation of the Greek women in that period. These Greek women had to remain still in the harem, take care of household affairs, charge the spinning and the weaving, always remain silent without meddling in political affairs and give birth to children for the family. In contrast, the female figures in the world created by Aeschylus leave their harem, travel, expose themselves to the public, express themselves loudly, get involved political affairs, refuse marriage and show little maternal love towards their children. But why the playwright decides to make the many female figures on stage play the important roles? First, we need to notice that the female characters are played by male actors and that the female choirs consist of male choruses, therefore, the female figures are created by the playwright Aeschylus. There are several reasons for this : the beauty in the scene attracted the attention of the audience; woman is the source of human evil ; irrationality of women drives the development of the tragedy ; and the weakness of women decides their lack of self-control and make them more suitable to play the roles that male characters struggle to interpret

Abstract:

Abstract The word Mechanism is a derivative of the Greek word mechane (which meant machine, more precisely, machine element) meaning an assemblage of machines. While it was used for the first time by Homer in the Iliad to describe the political manipulation, it was used with its modern meaning first in Aeschylos times to describe the stage machine used to bring the gods or the heroes of the tragedy on stage, known with the Latin term Deus ex machina. At the same time, the word mechanopoios, meaning the machine maker or engineer, was introduced for the man who designed, built and operated the mechane. None of these machines, made of perishable materials, is extant. However, there are numerous references to such machines in extant tragedies or comedies and vase paintings from which they can be reconstructed: They were large mechanisms consisting of beams, wheels and ropes which could raise weights up-to one ton and, in some cases, move them back-and-forth violently to depict space travel, when the play demanded it. The vertical dimensions were over 4 m while the horizontal travel could be more than 8 m. They were well-balanced and they could be operated, with some exaggeration perhaps, by the finger of the engineer. There is indirect information about the timing of these mechanisms. During the loading and the motion there were specific lines of the chorus, from which we can infer the duration of the respective operation. The reconstructed mechane is a spatial three- or four-bar linkage designed for path generation.

Abstract:

In Sicily there are 19 show venues including ancient theaters and theatrical architectures. Many of these structures are fully functional and subject to visitor flows such as the theater of Syracuse and that of Taormina. They are object of interest and curiosity, revealed in the eighteenth century during the grand tour by travelers and landscape painters, in the last twenty years they have become reasons for study in various scientific areas as from acoustics to archeology, always passing through digital surveying. Studied through classical photogrammetry, structure from motion (SFM), 3D laser scanner, their representation as well as by increasingly refined and detailed two-dimensional graphics, makes use of 3D representations and techniques of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Due to their particular geometry, the need for studies and research is considered essential to deepen the methods of the surveys and plan their developments. Examples and problems for the archaeological survey are reported with the aim of critically evaluating the current state of the art of 3D survey, the potential and possible future developments, in the present study the results obtained for the survey of the Taormina theater (ME) and in-depth analysis of the versure environments.

Abstract:

Puppet theater on the island of Java is an ancient art which has maintained some of its characteristics considered traditional, but has also been transforming innovations such as the wayang with hip-hop music among other popular expressions. The art of puppetry has also been institutionalized and is itself a degree program at the National Institute of Arts of Indonesia. In this paper, I show the outcomes of my research among students and shadow puppet art teachers in Java, Indonesia. There are two special characteristics in training puppeteers: The main use of Jawanese language and the development of communities of practice as ways of working in the teaching and learning process. As such, these contexts motivate students to be constantly reflecting on the Javanese language and culture. I note the process and the reflections of the participants on the Javanese language shift, and the uses of language in puppet performances which consider the reception of young Javanese. To analyze the data, I draw from fieldwork and interviews, I use the theoretical concepts of discursive genres and dialogism proposed by Bakhtin and I propose that the art of puppetry is a social field that encourages vitality and linguistic diversity on the island of Java.

Abstract:

Castle Garth is the name of the fortified area once enclosed within the castle walls. In the fifteenth century Newcastle became a county in its own right, however, the Garth, being within the castle walls, remained part of the County of Northumberland. The Great Hall, a building separate from the Castle Fortress (the “Keep”), which in later years became known as the “Old Moot Hall”, was used by courts that sat at regular intervals in every county of England and Wales. The Fortress then became a prison for the County and was used as such until the early nineteenth century. Beginning in the fifteenth century, unlicensed traders, taking advantage of the fact that the city authorities had no jurisdiction over the Garth area, settled there with their commercial activities. From the time of Charles II (1630-1685), the area then became famous for its tailors and shoemakers, who grew particularly abundantly on the path known as “Castle Stairs”. In 1619 the fortified complex was rented by James I to the courtier Alexander Stephenson, who allowed the civilian houses to be built inside the castle walls. After the civil war, new houses were added until, towards the end of the eighteenth century, Castle Garth had become a distinct and densely populated community, with a theater, public houses and lodgings. The main urban transformations were started in the early nineteenth century with the construction of the new Moot Hall called County Court. From 1847 to 1849 the fortified enclosure was partially compromised by further intersections with the infrastructure for the construction of the railway viaduct, thus interrupting direct access from the Castle guarding the Black Gate. Despite the development of the contemporary city has affected the preservation of the ancient fortified palimpsest, a strong consolidated link is still maintained by the sedimentation of values of material and immaterial culture. The proposed contribution intends to present this process of integration between fortified structure and city highlighting today the state of the art, the conservation, restoration and enhancement initiatives undertaken in the last forty years.

Abstract:

Pressure drop has been used for more than half a century to control resonant pulsation in reciprocating compressor piping. Although avoiding these resonances is the preferred method, this is not possible in many high-speed/variable-speed installations. In these cases, resonant pulsation is often managed by using orifice plates to dampen the response. Helmholtz absorbers are an old technology, used to improve the acoustics of ancient Greek theaters and modern recording studios alike. Although their application in the field of piping acoustics has been well documented, this paper presents new ways in which they have not yet been applied. In this paper, experimental data is shown for a self-tuning Helmholtz absorber, or Side Branch Absorber (SBA) used to cancel a piping length resonance, and for a Virtual Orifice that is used to reduce cylinder nozzle pulsation. These devices open up new doors for controlling pulsation with reduced horsepower costs in reciprocating compressor installations.
