Full textAbstract:
When American metaphysical religion appears onstage, it most often manifests in the subject matter and dramaturgies of experimental theater. In the artistic ferment of the 1960s and 1970s counterculture, theater-makers looked both to alternative dramaturgies and alternative religions to create radical works of political, social, and spiritual transformation. While the ritual experiments of European avant-garde artists like Artaud and Grotowski informed their work, American theater-makers also found inspiration in the dramas of Gertrude Stein, and many of these companies (the Living Theatre and the Wooster Group, most notably) either staged her work or claimed a direct influence (like Richard Foreman). Stein herself, though not a practitioner of metaphysical religion, spent formative years in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at Radcliffe under the tutelage of William James. Cambridge, at the turn of the twentieth century, was a hotbed of spiritualism, theosophy, alternative healing modalities, and James, in addition to running the psychology lab in which Stein studied, ran a multitude of investigations on extrasensory and paranormal phenomena. This article traces a web of associations connecting Ralph Waldo Emerson, Transcendentalism, and liberal Protestantism to Gertrude Stein and landscape dramaturgy to the midcentury avant-garde, the countercultural religious seeking of the 1960s and 1970s, and the Off-Off-Broadway movement.

Abstract. The article is devoted to the problem of the state of theatre life in the Terek region in 1917-1920, which is little studied in the regional historiography. The author introduces into the scientific circulation a corpus of new archival documents, which makes it possible to reconstruct the main activities of local theaters, to consider the influence of Moscow touring groups on the theatrical repertoire and audience preferences in the Terek region. The author dwelled on the difficulties experienced by theater companies in the difficult conditions of the revolution, the Civil War and the post-war devastation. The analysis of the documents allowed us to identify new forms of theatrical art, including workers, amateur and national theatrical societies, which fit well into the concept of educating the “new” Soviet person. In the conditions of the most fierce ideological battles, theaters were given the task of introducing the broad masses to art, who had previously been far from it and preferred simpler forms of leisure. In this regard, the repertoire of theaters was represented not only by classical works but also by revolutionary plays of mediocre quality. By trial and error, the theater acquired a new repertoire in a new environment, a spectator who was to educate and instill a good taste for highly artistic theatrical productions. The role of M. Bulgakov in the development of the proletarian theater is also interesting: the plays written by him had ideological fullness and in quality were much higher than those that were present in the repertoire of local theaters. Thanks to the writer’s efforts, the Ossetian Youth Studio was founded in Vladikavkaz, which became the basis of the future professional theater.

Full textAbstract:
This article introduces Mircea Eliade. His biography and his understanding of religion are outlined and the possibly formative influence of Eastern Orthodoxy is considered, as are recent publications on the issue. His early essays present Orthodoxy as a mystical religion in which, without some experience of the sacred, profane existence is seen as meaningless and he later identified this same basic schema in all religion. Orthodox theologians Vladimir Lossky and Dumitru Stăniloae are inspected for similarities to Eliade. Ten consonances between Eliade’s thought and Orthodox theology are considered. However, dissonances are also noted, and for every potential Orthodox source of Eliade’s theories there is another equally credible source, causing a controversy over the formative influences of his Romanian youth as opposed to his later Indian experience. It is suggested that Eliade gained insight from Orthodoxy, but that this was brought to consciousness by his sojourn in India. Theology in the form of categorical propositions is present in the Eastern Church but exists alongside other equally important expressions in the visual, dramatic, and narrative arts. The Eastern Church as a multi-media performative theater prepared Eliade to apprehend religion as inducing perceptions of the “really real”—creative poesis exercising a practical influence on its audience’s cognitions. Orthodoxy is a tradition in which categorical propositions had never come to dominate the expression of the sacred, and Eliade wrote from a vantage point on the border, not only between East and West, but also between the scholar and the artist.

Full textAbstract:
After the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty in September 1947, Pula, a town in the south of the Istrian peninsula in Croatia, became a part of the People’s Republic of Croatia and Yugoslavia. The period after the takeover of the city by the Communist authorities until the mid-1950s was marked by intense emigration, mostly of the Italian population, and also by re-industrialization and urbanization. At the same time, the process of forming art and culture according to the new ideological demands began. The instrumentalization of cultural life by ideology in the period between 1947 and 1955 left a significant trace on Pula’s musical life. One of the main tasks of the authorities in the field of music culture was to promote musical education and popularize musical art, which was to be made available to a wider audience, especially labourers. The choice of music genres was narrowed significantly in order to ensure a close connection between the artist, his work, and the people. In the formative period of socialism in Pula, a music school opened, numerous cultural and artistic societies were established, operas were regularly performed at the theater and the Arena, and the city even had an operetta ensemble.

This study considers the concept of Theatre City and its role in the formation of the desired identity of a community. More specifically, the research is at a crossroads of sociological and anthropological use of this theater form, in a function of the reconstruction of the community, examining the relationship between theater and the city, as a functional European theater concept, which has the potential to generate multiple socio-cultural values, participating in the formation of the so-called free spaces, free theater, which rejects the idea of elitism because it is intended for the wider population.In this regard, the subject of this research is the concept of Subotica Theatre City established by National Theater-Nepszίnház-KPGT in the context of creating a (multicultural) identity of the community, while the focus is on socio-anthropological, philosophical and aesthetic analyse of the play Madach, the comments, which was the inaugural project of the new aesthetic and cultural policy of the city of Subotica in the former Yugoslavia in 1985.

Abstract “The Children’s Theatre by the Kindergarten Teachers Center,” that was founded in 1928, was the first Hebrew repertory theatre exclusively addressing the audience of children attending kindergarten and the first grades of elementary school. This article explores how The Children’s Theater conveyed a set of performative practices that consolidated a habitus of Eretz-Israeli childhood. The theater articulated the embodied repertoire of Eretz-Israeli childhood and established it on two pillars. First, it epitomized the concept of an innocent and secure childhood. The world performed on the stage created a utopian notion of childhood. Second, it encouraged the children to participate in the world of adults, but in a way suited to their age and psychological needs. The ability of this theatre to create an enriching and a secure environment for children was deeply needed in the Jewish settlement of Palestine of the 1930’s and 1940’s, which was constituted of immigrants struggling to build a future in the land.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tesis estudia la relación entre los cuerpos humanos y el evento teatral a través de tres producciones Europeas―Pura Coincidencia de Roger Bernat, Tunning Out with Radio Z de Stan’s Café y Outdoors de Rimini Protokoll― que exponen la emergencia de lo trans-formador. Lo trans-formador opera entre y a través de lo teatral en propuestas experimentales que enfatizan su naturaleza estructural, relacional y sistémica mediante distintas formas de participación. En este sentido, esta investigación explora la naturaleza participativa de estas propuestas artísticas y sus atributos, respondiendo a las siguientes cuestiones: ¿cómo el evento teatral interactúa con lo cotidiano y su teatralidad generando experiencias que se ubican principalmente en el cuerpo? ¿Cuáles son los atributos e implicaciones de las interacciones que emergen en el presentarse, en el estar presente, en el presenciar?¿Cuáles son los compromisos que nacen y se establecen entre los cuerpos al compartir la experiencia teatral? La investigación cuestiona los parámetros relacionales del evento teatral a fin de exponer los afectos y efectos en los cuerpos de los participantes, sean estos artistas profesionales, hábiles amateurs, investigadores en artes escénicas, o bien accidentales o intencionales espectadores.
Esta tesis desafía las (im)posibilidades del conocimiento a través de un método basado en la práctica como investigación, lo que en el ámbito anglófono se conoce como practice-as-research. La tesis se compone de dos partes diferenciadas. La primera parte consiste en un capítulo introductorio titulado Arquitecturas Invisibles que pretende facilitar la comprensión de las condiciones operativas que desembocan en la construcción de reflexiones a partir de la experiencia práctica de la propia investigadora. Las condiciones denominadas nomadismo, net-gaming y transducción, derivan respectivamente de las teorías y métodos de Gilles Deleuze y Félix Guattari, Bruno Latour y John McKenzie. Al desplegar estas tres condiciones operativas aparecen ciertas cuestiones relevantes relativas a lo ecológico, lo social, lo político, lo geográfico, que son identificadas simultáneamente como aspectos clave para vislumbrar en qué modo la tesis narra ciertos aspectos de las prácticas teatrales analizadas.
La segunda parte titulada Esferas de Inmersión examina las prácticas artísticas. Cada capítulo explora diferentes aspectos teatrales― expectativas, tiempo, atmosfera, trabajo y transformación― a través de una escritura que resulta metafórica, analítica y performativa. Las metáforas evocan lo común, dando lugar a una esfera compartida entre los distintos espectáculos y la investigadora, sumergiendo al lector en los distintos eventos teatrales.This thesis studies the relationship between human bodies and theatrical events through selected European examples of the emergence of transformative ‘in-between’ experimental performance in the early 20th century. It aims to explore the nature of participatory practices and their attributes. How the theatrical event does interact with the everyday and its theatricality creating ‘embodied’ experiences? What are the attributes and the implications of the relationships that emerge through this bodily engagement? The study questions emergent relational parameters of the theatrical experience in order to explicate its affects and effects in the bodies of participants, whether professional artists, skilled amateur practitioners, theatre/performance researchers, and accidental or intentional audiences and spectators. Its investigation challenges the (im)possibilities of performance knowledge through an experimental method based in a practice-as-research approach. The introductory chapter aims to facilitate understandings of the operational conditions through which the ‘embodied’ is materialized in theatrical performance. The conditions, are named as ‘nomadism’, ‘net-gaming’ and ‘transductions’, and respectively are drawn from the theories and method of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Bruno Latour and John McKenzie. In unfolding these operational conditions significant ‘ecological’, social, political, geographical concerns are identified as critical to how the thesis accounts for key elements of current experimental theatrical performance. The rest of its chapters examine three productions of the international touring companies Roger Bernat (Barcelona), Stan’s Cafe (Birmingham) and Rimini Protokoll (Berlin). Each chapter examines different specific yet comparable aspects of their participatory theatre/performance methods – namely: expectations, time, atmosphere, labour, and transformation – a through writing that is metaphorical, analytical and performative. Metaphors evoke the ‘common’, they interlace bodily expectations and they trigger the sense of the fleeting experience establishing a shared sphere between the shows, the audiences and the researcher, immersing the reader in the theatrical events. Thus the thesis aims to present the significance of the ungraspable in participatory experimental performance, paradoxically because only in its evanescent in-betweeness might the ‘embodied’ be envisioned.

Este trabalho pode ser caracterizado como um exercício de compreensão. Trata-se de um exame das reverberações provocadas pela obra de Hannah Arendt em nosso modo de conceber as relações entre educação e linguagem teatral e, em especial, em nosso modo de refletir acerca do potencial formativo da experiência teatral dentro do ambiente escolar. Ao conceber a educação como uma tarefa voltada para a inserção das novas gerações num legado de significados compartilhados, Hannah Arendt nos provoca a pensá-la sob a perspectiva do mundo. Assim para além de compreender que educar crianças e jovens consiste em prepará-los para viver, treinando habilidades e competências para que realizem inúmeras tarefas no mundo, Arendt identifica a atividade educativa como uma forma de apresentação do mundo, uma tentativa de familiarização com as experiências e obras que o constituem e que nos foram legadas por nossos antepassados. No que toca à linguagem teatral, os indícios encontrados em sua obra nos levam a sugerir a existência de uma especificidade para o teatro que reside na oportunidade para que aqueles que participam do evento artístico olhem para o mundo que é revelado na cena e possam pensar sobre ele, examiná-lo e atribuir-lhe algum sentido. Nesse encontro entre um alguém que representa ações humanas e um alguém que pode delas fruir como espectador, instaura-se uma oportunidade para a emergência de exercícios de compreensão sobre o próprio mundo. É por essa razão, por tais aspectos serem intrínsecos à linguagem teatral, que nosso percurso se dedica a pensá-la dentro do ambiente escolar, ou seja, como um ponto de vista sobre o mundo, como uma forma de inserir as novas gerações num legado comum. Todavia, essa inserção não consiste apenas em apresentar informações sobre o mundo humano, não diz respeito à somente conhecer o que nele ocorre, mas configura-se como uma chance de pensar sobre o mundo, ressignificando-o e, nesse processo, sendo transformado por ele. Um encontro afetivo entre as novas gerações e o legado de experiências e obras que constituem o mundo, ou seja, uma experiência formativa.This dissertation can be characterized as an exercise of understanding. It brings an analysis of the reverberations of Hannah Arendts work in our way of conceiving the relationships between education and theater language, especially in our way of thinking about the formative potential of the theatrical experience in school environment. When conceiving education as a task dedicated to the insertion of new generations in a legacy of shared meanings, Hannah Arendt causes us to think education in a world perspective. Hence, more than understanding that teaching children and youngsters consists in preparing them to live, training their skills and competences so that they can do several activities in the world, Arendt identifies education as a form of world presentation, an attempt of familiarizing students with the experiences and works which constitute the world and that our ancestors left us as a legacy. Regarding theatrical language, evidence found in her work allows us to suggest the existence of specificity for theater, which lies in the opportunity, for those who participate in the artistic event, to look to the world that is revealed in scene and think about it, examine it and assign it meaning. In this meeting between someone who represents human actions and someone who enjoys them as a spectator, it is possible to find the opportunity for understanding the world itself. For this reason, for such aspects are intrinsic to the theatrical language, our journey is dedicated to think it in the school environment, as a point of view on the world, as a form to enter new generations in a common legacy. Nevertheless, this insertion not only consists in presenting information about the human world, identifying what happens on it, but also consists in a chance to think about the world, assigning new meanings to it and, in this process, being changed by it. An affective encounter between new generations and the legacy of experiences and works that constitute the world: a formative experience.

A matéria tratada nesta tese é a trajetória pedagógica desenvolvida pelo autor junto aos alunos atores ingressantes do curso de licenciatura em Artes Cênicas da Faculdade Paulista de Artes. Esta trajetória tem como ponto de partida a prática pedagógica da atriz, diretora e professora Myrian Muniz, detentora de olhar bastante particular sobre o trabalho atoral, e contempla também outros processos formativos vivenciados pelo autor. Esta pesquisa busca identificar uma linha de pensamento pedagógico nas Artes Cênicas, que tem o trabalho do ator sobre si mesmo como conceito fundante, e cujos representantes mais importantes são Constantin Stanislávski, Eugênio Kusnet e Myrian Muniz. Esta pesquisa visa também compartilhar as etapas mais relevantes nos processos pedagógicos envolvendo aprendizes em teatro, desde o compartilhamento dos primeiros fundamentos acerca do trabalho do ator até e elaboração de um espetáculo teatral que foi fruto do referido processo. Por fim, o autor analisa e reflete sobre a trajetória percorrida pelos alunos atores, buscando definir novos possíveis caminhos de formação do artista teatral, e também identificar uma linha própria de atuação como formador, sempre tendo o autoconhecimento como princípio pedagógico.The subject of this thesis is the pedagogical path developed by the author among Performing Arts newcomer students at Faculdade Paulista de Artes. This path starts with the pedagogical praxis of actress, director and professor Myrian Muniz, bearer of a particular vision on actor\'s work, and contemplates also other formative processes experienced by the author. This research aims to identify a pedagogical thinking stream over Performing Arts, which holds the actor\'s work upon himself as cornerstone concept, having Constantin Stanislavsky, Eugenio Kusnet and Myrian Muniz as its most important representatives. Also objects to share the most relevant steps present in this pedagogical processes developed with the theater apprentices, from presenting the basic elements involving the actor\'s work, to the staging of a play as outcome of the related process. Lastly, the author analyses and looks over this pedagogical process that led to the search for defining possible new ways of educating performing artists, along with identifying a personal proceeding process as a drama teacher, having self-knowledge as a pedagogical principle.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESArtur Azevedo, who is considered by critics as a man of the theater, wrote plays with features of the popular and bourgeois culture, with simple plot and everyday issues, he was strongly criticized for his musical comic production and, according to some critics, it is less valued. This research theme is the study of Azevedo‘s theater, specifically in the plays O Mambembe, O Dote and A Capital Federal. We had as a starting point some conceptions about the theater formulated by Schiller (1964), also a brief explanation for the period in which the author and his work are inserted, identifying the procedures and comic functions in the plays in a third phase. We had as a theoretical support, about comicality, to fundament the research, the study O Riso: Ensaio sobre a significação da comicidade, by the author Henri Bergson (2007). From the conducted study, we observe that the brazilian theater, in the analyzed period, reflected in its structure the necessity to talk about itself and its internal and external tensions. Through the study of the comic plays we could understand that they had a moralizing function, comicality was used to correct manners. We realize, therefore, that the active comic in that period has fulfilled the moralizing function of correcting human behaviors that are diverted from socially established standard, so for these diverted habits the comic bias has acted in order to reintegrate the individual to the social environment.
Artur Azevedo, considerado pela crítica como um homem do teatro, escreveu peças com características da cultura popular e burguesa, com enredo simples e temas do cotidiano, foi criticado fortemente pela sua produção cômica musicada e, segundo a crítica, de valor menor. Esta pesquisa tem como tema o estudo do teatro de Azevedo, especificamente nas peças O Dote e A Capital Federal. Tivemos como ponto de partida algumas concepções sobre o teatro formuladas por Schiller (1964), como também uma breve passagem pelo período em que estão inseridos o autor e obra, identificando os procedimentos e as funções cômicas que nelas há em um terceiro momento. Tivemos como auxílio teórico, sobre a comicidade, para embasar a pesquisa, o estudo O Riso: Ensaio sobre a significação da comicidade, do autor Henri Bergson (2007). A partir do estudo realizado, observamos que o teatro brasileiro, no período analisado, refletia em sua estrutura a necessidade de falar de si mesmo e de suas tensões internas e externas. Através do estudo das peças cômicas pudemos entender que elas tinham uma função moralizadora, a comicidade era utilizada para correção dos costumes. Percebemos, dessa forma, que o cômico atuante nesse período vai cumprir a função moralizadora de corrigir condutas humanas que estão desviadas do padrão estabelecido socialmente, então para esses comportamentos desviados o viés cômico vai atuar com o propósito de reintegrar o indivíduo ao seu meio social.

Full textAbstract:
Situated within the theatrical turn in Christian theology, this project explores theatre as a model for theological ethics, looking particularly at the dynamic interplay between formation as disponibility (availability) and performance as fittingness (appropriateness). A primary goal is to demonstrate how disponible formation and fitting performance are multi-dimensional realities oriented simultaneously toward the triune God (as playwright-producer-protagonist), Scripture (as transcript and prescript), the church (as characters in company), tradition (as performance paradigms), unbelievers (as audience), and local context (as theatrical environment and place). As a result, this theodramatic approach seeks to integrate theology and ethics, describing and resourcing everyday Christian practice with reflection on the theodrama. In addition, focusing on the dynamic interplay between formation and performance represents an attempt to unify agent-oriented with action-oriented theological ethics within a holistic, theodramatic framework. Finally, through attentive interaction with theatrical theory and practice, this project contributes to a fruitful and growing dialogue between Christian theology and the arts, particularly how theatre provides imaginative, heuristic models for theological ethics pursued within the liberating constraints of confessional Christianity.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I argue that Taiwanese classical theatre was formed during 1895 to 1937, the Japanese colonial period before the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). My argument is that Taiwanese classical theatre was formed through concept construction, the modernization of content, the emergence of new genres and the Taiwanization of language and themes. Japanese colonization launched modernization in Taiwan, which in turn brought about theatrical modernization. Japanese researchers introduced modern approaches to studying classical theatre in Taiwan, and therefore established a modern systemic approach to it. Based on this, the concept of "Taiwanese classical theatre" was constructed. Modernization further formed the contents of Taiwanese classical theatre. The Japanese introduced modern media to Taiwan. Meanwhile, the achievements of theatre reform and the realist aesthetic were introduced from Japan and China. Classical theatre troupes in Taiwan took advantage of modern media and learnt modern theatrical style. This in turn resulted in the emergence of a new genre, Taiwanese reformed theatre/Taiwanese opera. Realist aesthetics performed by Japanese and Chinese troupes further stimulated Taiwanese audiences to call for realism within a Taiwanese context. Classical theatre troupes in Taiwan responded to the demand, beginning a process of Taiwanization in language and themes. Taiwanese reformed theatre/Taiwanese opera was the last stage in the linguistic Taiwanization of classical theatre. It reflected concurrent and realistic language of Taiwanese people in daily life. Thereafter, classical theatre troupes, especially those of Taiwanese reformed theatre/Taiwanese opera, began to compose plays with Taiwanese themes. These plays reflected Taiwanese environment, history, society, customs, and so on, and showed modern characteristics as well. Taiwanization in themes was the final step; through it, the formation of Taiwanese classical theatre was completed. The formation of Taiwanese classical theatre is a mirror of newly-shaped Taiwanese culture in the colonial period and is also a crucial transition between traditional theatre and modern theatre in Taiwan.

A presente pesquisa buscou investigar as relações entre Educação Infantil e Teatro a partir das Linguagens Cênicas que vêm sendo concebidas e construídas em propostas formativas, educativas e infantis da Rede Municipal de São Paulo/SP. Partindo da análise do Curso Percursos de aprendizagens na Educação Infantil: práticas teatrais, junto ao Programa de Formação Continuada da Educação Infantil promovido pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação de São Paulo/SP (SME/SP), denominado A Rede em rede: formação continuada na Educação Infantil, e de alguns de seus desdobramentos, como o Caderno Percursos de aprendizagens na Educação Infantil: práticas teatrais, foi possível se aproximar de propostas educativas de professoras envolvidas e de propostas infantis de meninas e meninos pequenos. Para tal, foram realizados os seguintes procedimentos: pesquisa de campo em um Centro de Educação Infantil (CEI) da cidade de São Paulo, com observação da jornada educativa; oito entrevistas semiestruturadas com professoras, coordenadora e supervisora da SME/SP, e com formadoras do referido Curso; além da coleta e análise de documentos e de outros materiais produzidos. As análises dos dados coletados foram realizadas de forma articulada, à luz da produção recente tanto brasileira quanto estrangeira no campo das pesquisas em Educação Infantil, na interface com as Ciências Sociais e com as Artes na primeira infância, e com a produção teórica sobre o Teatro propriamente dito especialmente da Performance e do Teatro pós-dramático , concebendo as crianças como plenas, inteiras, completas e as Linguagens Cênicas como formas delas conhecerem, criarem, inventarem, sentirem, viverem e compartilharem conhecimentos, saberes e culturas, assim como, também das profissionais da Educação Infantil. O Curso investigado e seus desdobramentos, apesar de não romperem com propostas formativas que ainda desconsideram o protagonismo e as criações de crianças, professoras, gestoras e formadoras, trouxeram alguns avanços e contribuições que se revelaram emergentes para a construção de uma Pedagogia da Educação Infantil fundamentada nas Artes, mas que só poderá ser construída quando forem consideradas as propostas educativas e infantis que estão sendo inventadas pelas professoras e, especialmente, pelas meninas e meninos pequenos, a partir das Linguagens Cênicas.This research sought to investigate the relationship between Child Education and Theater in the perspective of the Scenic Languages that have been conceived and constructed in formative, educative and infantile proposals in the education system of the city of São Paulo/SP. Starting with the analysis of the Course on Itineraries of learning in Child Education: theatrical practices, by Continued Training Program on Child Education conducted by the Education Department of the City of São Paulo/SP (SME/SP), called The networking in education system: continued training on Child Education, and some of its outcomes, as the Booklet Itineraries of learning in Child Education: theatrical practices, it was possible to take a close look at educative proposals of female teachers involved and at infantile proposals for young girls and boys. For such, the following procedures were carried out: field research in a Child Education Center (CEI) in the city of São Paulo, with observation of the educative working hours; eight semi-structures interviews of female teachers, educational coordinator and the supervisor from SME/SP, and with lecturers in the training course mentioned above; in addition to the collection and analysis of documents and other materials produced. The analysis of the data collected was conducted in an articulated fashion, in the light of the recent literature both in Brazil and abroad in the field of studies on Child Education, in interface with Social Science and Art in early childhood, and with theoretical production about Theater specially Performance and post-dramatic Theater , conceiving children as full, integral, complete subjects and the Scenic Languages as ways of knowing, creating, inventing, feeling, living and sharing different types of knowledge and cultures, as well as the professionals working in Child Education. The Training Course being investigated and its deployments, although they do not break away with the formative proposals that still disregard the prominence and the creativity of children, teachers, managers and trainers, brought forth some improvements and contributions that turned out to be emergent in the construction of a Pedagogy for Child Education based on Art, but it will only be able to be devised when and educative and infantile proposals are taken into consideration as they have been invented by teachers and, especially, by the young girls and boys, aided by the Scenic Languages.

Esta pesquisa teórico-prática realiza um estudo do pensamento e dos princípios de trabalho de Vsévolod Meyerhold a partir da musicalidade no trabalho do ator, utilizando princípios de Murray Schafer e Dalcroze, para a compreensão da musicalidade no corpo do ator e no espaço cênico, com vistas à uma formação mais global do ator. Neste sentido buscamos traçar princípios pedagógicos e fundamentos artísticos sobre os quais investigamos teórica e praticamente. Sua contribuição pode ser útil para que o ator vislumbre possibilidades de trabalho exploratório sobre si mesmo, passando por um processo de incorporação da musicalidade enquanto elemento constitutivo de sua prática e organizador do tempo no espaço. Traça ainda breves comentários sobre um teatro múltiplo, no qual dialoguem todas as linguagens artísticas de maneira não disjuntiva. Busca, finalmente, uma formação integral do ator enquanto humano e enquanto artista.This research makes a theoretical and practical study of thinking and working principles of Vsévolod Meyerhold from the musicality at the actor\'s work using Murray Schafer\'s and Dalcroze\'s principles for the understanding of the musicality in actor\'s body and at the scenic space, looking for a global training of the actor. In this sense, we try to describe pedagogical principles and artistic elements on wich we study theoretical and practically. Its contribution can be useful for the envision possibilities of the actors on their exploratory work, through himself, passing through a process of incorporation of the musicality while constitutive element of their practice and a time organizer at the space. It also makes short comments about a plural theater in wich all the artistic languages can dialogue in a non-disjunctive way. Finally, it tries to find an integrate training of the actor as human and as an artist.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined portrayals of terrorists in several action films and their effects on participantsâ thoughts concerning the films and their characters. A 2 x 2 x 2 factorial experiment was used to test the effects of antagonist ethnicity (white or non-white), antagonist portrayal type (sympathetic or non-sympathetic), and mortality salience (treatment or control) on narrative transportation, attitude toward the antagonist, attitude toward the video, stereotype endorsement, and response time for attitude toward the antagonist. Gender differences were also investigated.Participants viewed one 15-minute clip from an action film that manipulated antagonist ethnicity and antagonist portrayal. Then, participants answered several questionnaires surrounding the previously mentioned dependent variables. White terrorists and sympathetic portrayals were preferred over non-white terrorists and non-sympathetic portrayals. Participants in the mortality salience control condition evaluated Arabs more favorably than those exposed to the mortality salience treatment. In addition, males rated antagonists more favorably than females, and males were also less likely to engage in stereotyping of Arabs and African Americans. Implications for theory and suggestions for future research were discussed.Master of Arts

Full textAbstract:
At the height of its development and up to the eighteenth century, the Spanish classical theatre significantly contributed to the formation of the modern European theatre. Theatre texts and theatrical companies were in fact circulating outside the Iberian peninsula and the Spanish experience of theatre triggered literary debates and reflections that played a central role to the cultural history of Europe, from Neoclassicism to the beginnings of Romanticism. It is a complex phenomenon crossing linguistically and culturally diversified territories, and which therefore needs an inter- and multidisciplinary approach. We tried to respond to this need by involving scholars and researchers in the fields of Hispanic, French, Italian, history of entertainment and musicology for the drafting of this volume.

Full textAbstract:
The scenic plaza mayor shares with the theater organisms some formative characters, since they both derive from a transformation, by knotting, of pre-existing buildings and fabrics. This architectural transformation is generated, at the beginning, by a change in the modalities of using public space. As for the corral de comedias, the process is due to the sedentarization of the theatrical practice, which abandons the itinerant dimension of the street to move inside the buildings (such as private homes and palaces). The original corral de comedias was in fact set up inside an open place that could be covered, and this feature became permanent over time, creating a new building type. Similarly, since the sixteenth century, squares became the fundamental location of Spanish civic life as well as they hosted all sorts of political, religious and festive representations, but also the venue of executions. For this purpose, namely to allow people to watch such events, the squares were transformed, by raising temporary walls and walkways. In some cases, like Tembleque and San Carlos del Valle, they began to realize permanent continuous balconies, with solutions that seem to have followed the same morphological evolution of corrales de comedias. In both cases it was necessary to unify different elements (buildings or rooms) and connect them to each other, through a process of “knotting”, in order to create a new organism. Over time the physiognomy of the spaces, originally open, assumed the permanent characters of a new type, closed and similar to the courtyard of a “palazzo”.

Full textAbstract:
Adaptation is a creative process that crosses and blurs boundaries: from page to stage, from small screen to big screen – and then, sometimes, back again. Beyond questions of form and medium, many adaptations also cross national borders and language barriers, making them important tools for intercultural communication and identity formation. This paper calls for a more intensive, transnational study of adaptation across print, stage, and screens in EU member and affiliate countries. For the highest possible effectiveness, interdisciplinarity is key; as a cultural phenomenon, adaptation benefits from perspectives rooted in a variety of fields and research methods. Its influence over transnational media flows, with patterns in production and reception across European culture industries, offers scholars a better understanding of how narratives are transformed into cultural exports and how these exchanges affect transnational relationships. The following questions are proposed to shape this avenue for research: (1) How do adaptations track narrative and media flows within and across national, linguistic, and regional boundaries? (2) To what extent do adapted narratives reflect transnational relationships, and how might they help construct Europeanness? (3) How do audiences in the EU respond to transnational adaptation, and how are European adaptations circulated and received outside Europe? (4) What impact does adaptation have in the culture industries, and what industrial practices might facilitate adaptation across media platforms and/or national boundaries? The future of adaptation studies and of adaptation as a cultural practice in Europe depends on the development of innovative, comparative, and interdisciplinary approaches to adaptation. The outcomes of future research can hold significant value for European media industries seeking to expand their market reach, as well as for scholars of adaptation, theater, literature, translation, and screen media.
