Globalization And Theater Spectacles In Asia, I-Chun Wang Jun 2013

Globalization And Theater Spectacles In Asia, I-Chun Wang

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "Globalization and Theater Spectacles in Asia" I-Chun Wang discusses how performance is an integral part of cultural discourse: in industrially advanced Asian nations governments started to examine the relationship between cultural discourse and popular culture, cultural identity and tourist attractions and artists have become prominent participants in this development in particular with regard to theater performance, an activity with old traditions in Asian cultures. With the uptake of technology and in some cases Western innovation, Asian theater performance not only became an important part of social and cultural discourse, it rejuvenated itself. Wang posits that Asian theater …

A Invisibilidade Como Estratégia De Intervenção Urbana: Entrelaçamentos Entre O Teatro Invisível De Augusto Boal E Enfim Um Líder Do Erro Grupo, Pedro Bennaton

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

El Teatro Invisible, desarrollado por Boal en los años 70, es uno de los elementos más importantes del Teatro del Oprimido. Este artículo explica como ciertos aspectos clave del Teatro Invisible fueron empleados por el grupo de teatro brasileño ERRO, en una obra titulada Enfim um Líder, teatro de intervención urbana que sigue siendo realizada en el centro de Florianópolis, y otras ciudades brasileñas. El objetivo de la obra es reunir actores y público en una exploración crítica del liderazgo político o mesiánico, el ejercicio del poder y las formas de control que operan en los espacios …

Augusto Boal No Brasil E Suas Marcas Na Contemporaneidade, Alai Garcia Diniz May 2013

Augusto Boal No Brasil E Suas Marcas Na Contemporaneidade, Alai Garcia Diniz

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Este ensayo trata de reflexionar y problematizar la recepción interna de Augusto Boal en Brasil a fines del siglo XX. Desde la diáspora latinoamericana, el autor se vuelve una referencia internacional gracias a sus métodos y procedimientos que podrían configurar aquello que en el área de las artes escénicas podría denominarse como sistema Boal. El intento de reflexionar sobre esa trayectoria pasa por examinar uno de los íconos del movimiento artístico de los años 60, el Teatro Arena, una dramaturgia que combinaba el arte con la política durante la dictadura brasileña, las lecturas en el período posterior y, en particular, …

Influências De Augusto Boal No Teatro Político Argentino, Jualiano Borba May 2013

Influências De Augusto Boal No Teatro Político Argentino, Jualiano Borba

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Augusto Boal y su esposa, la actriz y psicoanalista argentina Cecilia Thumin Boal vivieron en Brasil hasta el año 1971, cuando fueron a la Argentina, después que Boal fue preso por la represión de la dictadura militar en Brasil. En Argentina Boal siguió desarrollando su investigación sobre las formas participativas de teatro. En este artículo se habla de teatro argentino contemporáneo, especialmente Teatro Comunitario y el Teatro del Oprimido. Propongo que, a pesar de sus diferencias, trabajan de acuerdo con algunas de las características y metodologías similares a las sistematizadas por Boal. Los calandracas es un grupo tradicional de teatro …

Ler É Traduzir: Ressonâncias Dos Escritos E Práticas De Augusto Boal Na Amazônia Acreana, Maria Do P. Socorro Calixto Marques

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Durante los años de investigación realizada sobre el teatro en Rio Branco, con obras de teatro que forman el panorama acreano, sobre todo en las que comprenden el archivo de las décadas 1970 a 1980, ya se había reflejado, aunque no exclusivamente, la presencia constante de herramientas dramatúrgicas del ‘Teatro do Oprimido’, ejercido y escrito por Augusto Boal (1931-2009). Hoy en día, este nuevo objetivo, necesariamente, me condujo a releer, y prestar atención con mayor madurez, las entrevistas que me concedieron para la tesis doctoral, y observar cómo las prácticas de teatro de Augusto Boal estuvieron representadas en parte del …

Teatro Legislativo: Estimulando A Ciudadanía Ativa, Mark Dinneen May 2013

Teatro Legislativo: Estimulando A Ciudadanía Ativa, Mark Dinneen

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Este artículo examina la propuesta del teatro legislativo, creado por Boal en 1996, con el fin de evaluar tanto su valor potencial como sus limitaciones escénicas y prácticas. Su adaptación en una variedad de contextos ha producido resultados muy desiguales, aunque el artículo argumenta que su valor como elemento para estimular una ‘ciudadanía activa’, constituida no sólo por derechos y responsabilidades, sino también por un compromiso efectivo para la creación de nuevas leyes y políticas de Estado, debe ser evaluado dentro de un contexto carente de participación política en Brasil, luego de dos décadas de dictadura, así como también …

Boal E O Teatro Em Comunidades: Contribuições Da Experiência Africana, Marcia Pompeo Nogueira May 2013

Boal E O Teatro Em Comunidades: Contribuições Da Experiência Africana, Marcia Pompeo Nogueira

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

La obra de Augusto Boal influenció la práctica de teatro en muchas comunidades alrededor de todo el mundo. En el continente africano, por ejemplo, hubo un proceso de evolución muy interesante con el enfoque del teatro realizado en comunidades. Comenzó con la presentación de obras listas que proponían políticas o soluciones a problemas identificados por personas fuera de la comunidad, y derivó en trabajos teatrales que involucraban habitantes de la comunidad en todo el proceso teatral, desde la identificación del problema hasta la representación de la obra. Diversos autores que analizan estos trabajos encuentran la influencia de las contribuciones de …

Psicodrama, Sociodrama Y Teatro Del Oprimido De Augusto Boal: Analogías Y Diferencias, Beliza Castillo May 2013

Psicodrama, Sociodrama Y Teatro Del Oprimido De Augusto Boal: Analogías Y Diferencias, Beliza Castillo

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Augusto Boal, en 1971 propuso un teatro político que confrontara al público y lo motivara a asumir una actitud y participación críticas, que no sólo lo llevara a pensar, sino que también a actuar, a intervenir, con esto daba una nueva mirada al teatro como herramienta pedagógica, social, política, cultural y terapéutica. No es extraño, por tanto, que su teatro llame a observar y a acercarse a la práctica del psicodrama y del sociodrama de Jacobo Levy Moreno, quien en 1926 lleva el arte teatral a un ámbito de curación no experimentado hasta entonces por esta disciplina artística, que coloca …

Hangin' With Judas: A Narrative Analysis Of Stephen Adly Guirgis's 'The Last Days Of Judas Iscariot', Constance Falconer Apr 2013

Hangin' With Judas: A Narrative Analysis Of Stephen Adly Guirgis's 'The Last Days Of Judas Iscariot', Constance Falconer

Masters Theses

Stephen Adly Guirgis has created an era-melting play, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, which explores the timeless debate between divine mercy and free will. A systematic application of Walter R. Fisher's narrative analysis, through form identification and a functional analysis, determined how Guirgis accomplishes persuasion. This qualitative study focused on Guirgis's narrative, using Walter R. Fisher's narrative paradigm as a framework to answer the research question(s): (1) If Guirgis's ideology and created world in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot are foreign and imagined, how is narrative probability and narrative fidelity achieved?; and, (2) How does Guirgis persuade his …

"It's Just That For The First Time, I Feel... Wicked": A Rhetorical Analysis Of Wicked's Elphaba Using Kenneth Burke's Guilt-Purification-Redemption Cycle, Patricia Foreman Apr 2013

"It's Just That For The First Time, I Feel... Wicked": A Rhetorical Analysis Of Wicked's Elphaba Using Kenneth Burke's Guilt-Purification-Redemption Cycle, Patricia Foreman

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine the Broadway production, Wicked, and more specifically, the character of Elphaba, or the Wicked Witch of the West. The study utilized Kenneth Burke's theory of the guilt-purification-redemption cycle, and considered Elphaba's journey between the three steps of Burke's cycle. In order to understand this journey better, the researcher considered various facets of the show, including the script, lyrics, costuming, including attire and make-up, and interactions with other characters in the production. Elphaba's causes of guilt, including her mother's death, her relationship with Glinda, her cause in working with Animals, and failed magic …

Towards A Framework Of A Semiotics Of Dance, Nikoleta Popa Blanariu Mar 2013

Towards A Framework Of A Semiotics Of Dance, Nikoleta Popa Blanariu

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "Towards a Framework of a Semiotics of Dance" Nicoleta Popa Blanariu constructs a framework of based on de Saussure's, Peirce's, and Barthes's thought. She applies Ferdinand de Saussure's concept of semiosis defined as a cultural system of conventions. In dance this occurs when choreographic signs are encoded, for example in magic, ritual, or religious expressions of movement. Further, Charles Sanders Peirce's concept of the role of "intelligent consciousness" is crucial for the engendering of signification and thus to dance. In dance, the choreographer "interprets" the world and by means of selection and interpretation, the choreographic sign …

Ambanasom's Son Of The Native Soil And The Western Concept Of The Tragic Hero, Denis Fonge Tembong Mar 2013

Ambanasom's Son Of The Native Soil And The Western Concept Of The Tragic Hero, Denis Fonge Tembong

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article "Ambanasom's Son of the Native Soil and the Western Concept of the Tragic Hero" Denis Fonge Tembong discusses the view that although African and Western literatures are fundamentally different as they exhibit or represent distinct cultural values, they nevertheless share some common notions. The concept of a tragic hero is one of those convergent loci where the two literatures meet. With this in mind, Tembong examines in Aristotle's and Shakespeare's concepts of the tragic hero and demonstrates how the ideas exploited in Macbeth are similarly used in Shadrach A. Ambanasom's Son of the Native Soil against the …

Recognizing A Collective Inheritance Through The History Of Women In Computing, Erika E. Smith Mar 2013

Recognizing A Collective Inheritance Through The History Of Women In Computing, Erika E. Smith

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "Recognizing a Collective Inheritance through the History of Women in Computing" Erika E. Smith engages with the following question: how might we create the space for women in the history of computing that is deserved? Even with the proliferation of social, political, and historical engagement with feminist theory and computing technology, there remains a lack of scholarship on the topic of women in the history of computing. Given the dearth of historical accounts on the role of women in computing, the task of delving into such history becomes necessary, although difficult. Smith's objective is to examine a …

The Father's Power In Breitbach's Report On Bruno And Achebe's A Man Of The People, Amechi N. Akwanya Mar 2013

The Father's Power In Breitbach's Report On Bruno And Achebe's A Man Of The People, Amechi N. Akwanya

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article "The Father's Power in Breitbach's Report on Bruno and Achebe's A Man of the People" Amechi N. Akwanya analyses Joseph Breitbach's Report on Bruno and Chinua Achebe's No Longer at Ease in order to lay bare the underlying processes of these texts. Undoubtedly the patterns of struggle in the two texts are political, but reading them in exclusively political terms has the consequence that the works are of no further interest once the putative political agenda is identified and described. Akwanya's analysis discloses shared features in the two texts published within two years of each other. …

The Dilemma Of Western Education In Aidoo's Changes: A Love Story, Naylor's The Women Of Brewster Place, And Morrison's Beloved, Solomon Omatsola Azumurana

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article "The Dilemma of Western Education in Aidoo's Changes: A Love Story, Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place, and Morrison's Beloved" Solomon Omatsola Azumurana examines the problematics of Western education with regard to Black Africans and African Americans through the creative lens of three prose fictions written by African and African American women. While Ama Ata Aidoo is a West African writer from Ghana, Gloria Naylor and Toni Morrison are African American writers. Azumurana argues that Western education poses issues whether for African Americans of Black Africans and whether educated and literate or not, there …

Ecocriticism In An Age Of Terror, Simon C. Estok Mar 2013

Ecocriticism In An Age Of Terror, Simon C. Estok

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article "Ecocriticism in an Age of Terror" Simon C. Estok argues that we cannot ignore the context of terror in and through which ecocriticism works and that the relationships between the imagining of terror on the one hand and the conceptualizing of hostile environments on the other is in very serious need of critical analysis. Changes in how we think about nature are also long overdue, as are changes in how we think about doing ecocriticism. Working toward these changes now in our scholarship will take us leaps and bounds closer to the activist intervention about which ecocriticism …

The Egyptian Enlightenment And Mann, Freud, And Freund, Rebecca C. Dolgoy Mar 2013

The Egyptian Enlightenment And Mann, Freud, And Freund, Rebecca C. Dolgoy

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "The Egyptian Enlightenment and Mann, Freud, and Freund" Rebecca C. Dolgoy discusses various ways in which ancient Egypt is used in three works from the 1930s: Thomas Mann's Joseph and His Brothers, Sigmund Freud's Moses and Monotheism, and Karl Freund's film The Mummy. By showing the similarities and differences in how these works use Egypt, Dolgoy develops the concept that memory is the way in which the past is used. Dolgoy follows the structure of a cinematic shot casting: The Mummy as the long shot which both sets up the general Egyptomania characteristic of …

Text, Textile, And The Body In Baudelaire's 'A Une Mendiante Rousse' And Devi's Indian Tango, Michelle C. Lee Mar 2013

Text, Textile, And The Body In Baudelaire's 'A Une Mendiante Rousse' And Devi's Indian Tango, Michelle C. Lee

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "Text, Textile, and the Body in Baudelaire's 'A une mendiante rousse' and Devi's Indian Tango," Michelle C. Lee aims to rethink the post-romantic division between aesthetics and politics through a reconsideration of the idea of complicity in Charles Baudelaire's poem and Ananda Devi's novel. Lee argues against the claim that aesthetics needs to remain autonomous in order to be able to radically critique bourgeois society. Through a reading of the trope of clothing in each of the texts, Lee re-evaluates the formation of autonomous modernist aesthetics and attempts to show that avant-garde self-reflexivity engages in the …
