This article seeks to develop within the theater studies discourse a research stance and method that would resonate with the transformation that has begun in theater in connection with the #MeToo movement and the discussion about violence in theater schools, creative processes, and theaters. The author’s point of departure is the observation that recent productions thematizing sexual violence in theater have been gradually turning from grievances against the abuse of power towards constructive, forward-leaning proposals for change. This process is founded on the awareness that theater makers are situated within the present systems of power and on the willingness to consider various implications of this situatedness. The proposed project of responsibly situated affirmative criticism, understood as a research-and-writing stance, is based on Donna Haraway’s concepts of situated knowledges, Ewa Domańska’s affirmative humanities, posthumanist ethics (as envisaged by Karen Barad and Monika Rogowska-Stangret), and Harry Lehmann’s affirmative criticism. The article offers an analysis of the discussion about comings-out concerning the “Gardzienice” Center for Theater Practices, as a case study aimed at a more precise delineation of the possibilities for changing the discourse on the instruments and ethics of theater research.

Artykuł jest próbą wypracowania w ramach dyskursu teatrologicznego postawy i metody badawczej rezonującej z przemianą, która zaczęła się w teatrze pod wpływem ruchu #MeToo i dyskusji o przemocy w szkołach teatralnych, w procesach twórczych i w teatrach. Punktem wyjścia refleksji jest spostrzeżenie, że w najnowszych spektaklach tematyzujących przemoc seksualną w teatrze widać proces przejścia od skargi na nadużycia władzy do konstruktywnych, wychylonych w przyszłość propozycji zmiany. Podstawą tego procesu jest świadomość usytuowania osób tworzących w panujących w teatrze układach władzy oraz gotowość brania pod uwagę rozmaitych konsekwencji tego usytuowania. Zaproponowany w artykule projekt odpowiedzialnie usytuowanej krytyki afirmatywnej rozumianej jako postawa badawczo-pisarska opiera się na koncepcjach wiedz usytuowanych Donny Haraway, humanistyki afirmatywnej Ewy Domańskiej, etyki posthumanistycznej (w ujęciu Karen Barad oraz Moniki Rogowskiej-Stangret) oraz krytyki afirmatywnej Harry’ego Lehmanna. Analiza dyskusji o coming outach dotyczących Ośrodka Praktyk Teatralnych „Gardzienice” stanowi studium przypadku, które ma pomóc dookreślić możliwości zmiany dyskursu na temat narzędzi i etyki badań teatralnych.

The article analyzes the transformational potential of the #MeToo movement in terms of personal experience, institutional, and social transformations, looking first of all at the dynamics the movement has created in theater in Poland and around the world. The author unveils the systemic dimension of violence encoded in invisible and standardized relations of domination and subordination, inscribed in the two models which are still very common in Polish theater: the "master and apprentice" model defining the position of a director and the "feudal" model visible in institutional relations.Looking at the "Gardzienice" case and the reactions of the public to the testimonies exposing violence, the author also mentions examples of institutional and systemic reactions to similar situations in British and Belgian theater. In this way, she outlines possible directions for action in Polish theater. She asks questions about the transformative and emancipatory potential of the #MeToo movement, emphasizing the necessity to consider an intersectional perspective, to build alliances and to practice promiscuous care.

The article analyses the media coverage of the accusations of sexual harassment and mobbing made against Henryk Jacek S., a long-time director of the Bagatela Theatre in Krakow, by its female employees. Based on the employees’ statements, the author tries to describe the situation in the theatre before the case was exposed. She refers to the category of ‘ugly feelings’, created and explored by Sianne Ngai, and specifically, to the affect of animatedness, which is characterised by particularly limited agency and the blurring of the boundary between the inside and the outside. The moment when the female employees broke the silence is associated by the author with the affect of disgust (as defined by Sara Ahmed) and the related revulsion and nausea. She also examines how this affective dynamic has influenced the women’s agency and effectiveness in relation to the recipients of their public appearances.
