The introductory part of the essay brings an account of Jean Baudrillard’s theory of simulation with the aim of appropriating it for the theory of theatre. The author, referring to his previous reflexions on the sphere of spectacles, this time attempts to define it not only in reference to the categories of spectacularity and performativity but also to that of simulacrity. Thus, a triangular model is created. Close to its vertices, phenomena that may be defined through one of the said categories can be located; along the triangle’s edges phenomena that need to be described in reference to two such categories would be situated; and finally, within its plane, one could place phenomena defined by all three categories. The phenomenon of theatre, as based on the combination of spectacularity, causal performativity and simulation, needs to be located in the centre of the diagram. The second part of the essay presents an analysis of The Tempest by Shakespeare and applies the conceptual tools described above. The analysis takes into account that the comedy, charged with a strong meta-theatre element, is located at the interpretational mezzanine of sorts and reveals its full meaning only through staging. Only then do its spectacular and performative aspects appear in sharp light, e.g. when actors as characters watch other actors (spectacularity), or when Prospero acts as a performer. The proposed reading of The Tempest, however, puts special emphasis on the problem of simulacra. As can be seen, their structure in Shakespeare’s work is quite peculiar (the title tempest): they are embedded in the meta-theatrical tradition (the clothes that simulate the change of status of their new wearers) and, significantly, appear as metaphors in other works by the Stratford playwright (the motif of ivy). It is easy to see that the presence of simulacra in the world portrayed in The Tempest allows the characters to free themselves from the appearances. The same chance is offered to the readers of the comedy and to the audience of the play as well.

Social construction of the body and the performative magic: Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological theory in performance studiesPerformance studies are a developing field of social science which draws on the insights of sociology, ethnography, cultural studies, cultural anthropology, theatre studies and communication studies. The object of performance studies is human activity seen as expression which constitutes the process of production and reproduction of subjectivity. In this text the author analyses Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological theory from the perspective of performance studies: of questions about social agency, understood as constructing the subject within a specific field of power. The author focuses particularly on the following aspects of individual and collective practices as described by Pierre Bourdieu: spatial practices, bodily practices, and masculine domination. Społecznie konstruowane ciała i performatywna magia: Teoria socjologiczna Pierre’a Bourdieu w badaniach performatywnychPerformatyka jest rozwijającą się dziedziną badań społecznych, która korzysta z dorobku socjologii, etnografii, studiów kulturowych, antropologii kulturowej, teatrologii, studiów nad komunikowaniem. Przedmiotem badań performatywnych jest aktywność ludzka rozumiana jako ekspresja, która stanowi proces wytwarzania i reprodukowania podmiotowości. W niniejszym tekście autorka analizuje teorię socjologiczną Pierre’a Bourdieu w perspektywie performatyki: pytań o społeczną sprawczość rozumianą jako konstruowanie podmiotu w określonym polu władzy. Szczególnemu namysłowi autorka poddaje następujące aspekty indywidualnych i zbiorowych praktyk opisane przez Pierre’a Bourdieu: praktyki przestrzenne, praktyki cielesne, męska dominacja.

This article discusses Tomasz Kubikowski’s book Zjadanie psów [Dog-Eating] (Warszawa 2019), which combines the story of nineteenth-century polar expeditions – by John Ross, William Edward Parry, John Franklin, Elisha Kane and Fridtjof Nansen – with the concept of performance as “restored behaviour,” taken expertly from Richard Schechner. Excellently written, almost like a travel-adventure novel, the book presents Arctic exploration as a sequence of performances that owed their social significance to stories; without a story, getting to the pole was hardly worth the trouble, and all the above-mentioned explorers left such accounts. Kubikowski treats them as anthropological narratives, “stories of someone else’s experience”; he also reads in them what their authors were not aware of: for example, that the natives and their culture were completely invisible to the adventurers. The theoretical background of the book is rather complex, as the author has engaged with performance studies for almost twenty years, yet the book is (deliberately) written in such a way as to be enjoyed also by those who do not care for theory.

According to Jon McKenzi almost every aspect of human life today is driven by a pressure to perform. It is, therefore, understandable, why both past and current political practices are analysed using the tools offered by performativity. Performativity, however, has never been considered a homogeneous field. This is why I will present the reasons I decided to choose the current of it that exposes the theatrical genealogy of contemporary cultural and organisational performances (theatrimogeneous field. This is why I will present the reasons I decided to choose the current of it that cality of politics was discussed by Bertolt Brecht). I truly believe that research tools offered by this current will create an optimal opportunity to describe strategies presently used in both politics and the political (which is Chantal Moufee’s conception). It is my intention to apply the initial theoretical concepts to particular examples of political practices in Poland.

The article is a view of Polish comparative culture studies through the prism of performance science understood as the study of performative processes of establishments. The author shows that performance can become a proposal for comparative methodologies. By analyzing the strategies of the artistic and scientific collectiveSlavs and Tatars, she shows how knowledge and history are produced in a performative way, how dependencies and relationships between disciplines of knowledge and cultural texts are created.

The text is a proposal to analyse the film Symphony of the Ursus Factory from three different perspectives: performance studies, qualitative research, and participatory art. Departing from a quote by the director, Jaśmina Wójcik, where she reminisces about her first encounters with the former employees of the factory, the author focuses on the issue of embodied knowledge. Through discussing different moments of the film and its visual and audial strategy, the author also shows how theatricality mixes with documentality in the production. The author also refers to different events and activities from the nine-year-long Factory Ursus Project to show it as a long-term process grounded on different modes of participation and collaboration, without which the movie could not have been possible and which legitimates its artistic form.

The article is an attempt to reconsider, reinterpret and, at the same time, summarize the concepts of dramaturgy and dramatology as they were developed by the author mainly in his research realized within the framework of the Chair of Drama and then the Chair of Performance Studies at the Jagiellonian University. Despite the fact that efforts to establish a broad understanding of drama and dramaturgy that is not restricted to art but is used to analyse and interpret performative aspects of social life were not fully successful, the main goal of the article is to support this idea by claiming the need for a ‘return to dramatology’.

There is no doubt that the Catholic Church is in a deep crisis. On the one hand, it is internally divided between supporters of the changes initiated during the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) and conservatives opposing these changes in the name of the (Counter-Reformation) decisions made during the Council of Trent (1545–1563). On the other hand, the Church is involved in a number of political, financial, paedophile, etc. scandals. They prove the progressive loss of contact of this institution with the world as a place to preach the Gospel. For both of these reasons, the number of believers in countries considered Catholic is steadily decreasing. The purpose of this article is to correct or supplement this diagnosis. Historically, the Catholic Church – like many other religious organizations – has never been „spotless”. However, this did not prevent Catholics from identifying themselves with this institution as the depository of the Revealed Truth. Today is different. Many of them are experiencing an identity crisis. They cannot reconcile the Gospel (which takes the form of religious dogma) with the existential and moral challenges they face every day. The subject of the research undertaken in this article is to find answers to the questions (1) about the skills that allow them to reconcile one with the other and (2) about the role of the Church in the education of the community of the faithful.

The article attempts to present essentiality – one of the concepts used most frequently by Witkacy – as a performative category. The artist was aware that essentiality would not have the final form in the dictionary of intellectual concepts, that it could not be fixed within stable definitions, but continued his efforts to push the boundaries of the human mind as far as possible. The paper analyses Witkacy’s epistemological tactics using Anna Krajewska’s dramatic theory of literature, which draws, among other things, on the achievements of performative discourse. Seen in this perspective, Witkacy’s ‘essential conversations’ can be regarded as dramatic forms which establish essentiality in constant motion and give it the character of a processual event – of something uncertain in a state of unreadiness, something attempted.

Nowadays the growing interest in the work of Nikolai Evreinov, especially in the idea of the theatralization of life, provokes the question: Was Evreinov really ahead of his time, as Erika Fischer-Lichte suggests? What do his ideas mean today, in the era of performance studies? The article discusses Evreinov's most important concepts – such as the theatralization of life (on the example of human sex life, among others), monodrama, theater for oneself – as well as his works on the origins of theater which he saw in the scapegoat rituals, folk rituals, and public executions. Evreinov's ideas are juxtaposed with his work as a director (as the co-creator of the Ancient Theater in St. Petersburg, and the director of the mass spectacle The Storming of the Winter Palace) and with his dramatic works (on the example of the following dramas: The Beautiful Despot, In the Stage-Wings of the Soul [also known as: Theatre of the Soul], the parody The Inspector General [also known as: The Government Inspector] and The Chief Thing).

This article presents William B. Worthen’s latest book: Shakespeare, Theatre, Technicity (Cambridge, 2020), which offers a reflection on staging Shakespeare in the age of digital media domination. This publication by the renowned Shakespeare scholar is an important voice in the discussion of theatre as a hypermedium, that is, a medium that reaches for other media in order to establish its historical version in a particular period. Worthen’s concept is anchored not only in media theories, but above all in the philosophy of Bernard Stiegler, who regards the human being is a technical being, using material and technical prostheses to transcend his/her being-towards-death and to be able to exist beyond purely biological conditions. One of Worthen’s crucial arguments for considering theatre as a hypermedium is his extensive analysis of the practices, myths and dilemmas concerning the reconstruction of traditional Elizabethan theater; he defines them as remediation practices.

The contemporary play Spillikin – A Love Story places a new digital ‘actor’ in this debate: the humanoid robot as a socially interactive agent (Breazeal, 2002; Fong, Nourbakhsh, & Dautenhahn, 2003) and caring companion. This paper discusses the exhibition of sociability through the robot’s humanlike gestures and its ability to decipher human gestures on stage. The aim is to point to the ethical consequences for the audience concerning the robot’s implied autonomy to interact socially.

The article examines the formation process of the scientific field of performance studies in Ukraine since the second half of the 20th century. Analytical and synthetic methods are used based on papers by A. Bakanurskyi, D. Honcharenko, T. Hridyayeva, N. Khoma, O. Kochubeinyk, L. Komarnytska, T. Kornieieva, O. Lachko, N. Marenych, I. Nechytalyuk, M. Pashkevich , Yu. Pochynok, Ya. Shumska and I. Yatsyk. The article is part of wider research on the key terms and concepts in poetry performance theory discussed in the publication Introduction to Ukrainian Poetry Performance Theory. The History of Performance Theory. It is considered to be the case that the majority of Ukrainian scientists tend to borrow views on both performance theory and key aspects of performance history from their North American and West-European colleagues.

Performatyka oferuje dynamiczny sposób ujmowania różnych zjawisk. Z kolei badania interpretacyjne wymagają określonego przedmiotu, a jednocześnie przyjmują podejście subiektywne. Kluczem jest tutaj umieszczenie przedmiotu badań w kontekście. Relacje kontekstowe są z definicji zmienne. Performatyka, w najszerszym zakresie zaproponowanym przez Jona McKenzie;go, opisuje zjawiska w trzech wymiarach, jako performance kulturowe, techniczne i organizacyjne. Ten paradygmat performatywny można wykorzystać w opisie i interpretacji dzieł sztuki (oczywiście nie tylko). Na podstawie tego schematu przedstawię jego zastosowania w badaniu dzieł sztuki jako zjawisk dynamicznych, performatywnych i kontekstualnych. W moim tekście pokazuję, na zasadzie porównawczej, przeciwieństwo dwóch rodzajów podejść metodologicznych: pozytywistycznego, unieruchamiającego przedmiot badań i poszukującego tego, co niezmienne i performatywnego, koncentrującego się w procesie badawczym na zmiennych relacjach, ujmującego przedmiot badań jako zmienny, dynamiczny. Badania interpretacyjne opierają się na opisie wcześniej zgromadzonej wiedzy. Dotyczą one zatem przedstawionych już wniosków z badań naukowych. Mogą łączyć różne dziedziny, mają charakter interdyscyplinarny i łatwo dostosowują się do przedmiotu, co jest ważne przy badaniu przedmiotu tak złożonego i zanurzonego w wielu kontekstach jak dzieło sztuki. Metoda performatywnego podejścia jest preferowana w odniesieniu do dzieł sztuki bio artu, ponieważ zjawiska wykorzystujące żywą materię organiczną jako materiał artystyczny są z natury zmienne. Metodologia badania, opisu i interpretacji dzieł bio artu musi więc być dostosowana do charakteru badanych zjawisk.

EN

Performance studies offers a dynamic way of capturing various phenomena. Interpretative research, in turn, requires a specific subject, and at the same time accepts a subjective approach. The key here is to place the research subject matter in context. Contextual relations are by definition variable. Performance studies, in the broadest terms proposed by Jon McKenzie, describes phenomena in three dimensions, as a cultural, technical and organizational performance. This performative paradigm can be used in the description and interpretation of works of art (of course not only). Based on this scheme, I will present its applications in the study of works of art as dynamic, performative and contextual phenomena. In my text, I show, on a comparative basis, the opposition of two types of methodological approaches: positivist, immobilizing the subject of studies and searching for what is immutable and performative, focusing in the research process on changing relations, capturing the subject of study as dynamically variable. Interpretation studies are based on the description of previously accumulated knowledge. They therefore concern the already presented conclusions from scientific research. They can combine various fields, are interdisciplinary in nature and are easily adaptable to the subject, which is important when examining an object as complex and immersed in many contexts as a work of art. The performative methodological approach is preferred in relation to works of art of bio art, because phenomena that use live organic matter as artistic material are inherently variable. Thus, the methodology of study, description and interpretation, of works of bio art must be adapted to the character of the studied phenomena.

Artykuł nawiązuje do wcześniejszych, pionierskich w Polsce, badań dotyczących recepcji sztuki performance w końcu lat siedemdziesiątych. Ostatnio prowadzone badania i pisane krytyki sztuki, tak jak teksty Łukasza Guzka, cytowane tutaj, dowodzą tego, że sztuka performance zmienia się, rozwija, jest żywym zjawiskiem sztuki współczesnej. Młodzi artyści podejmują wyzwanie jakim jest akcja na żywo, zmieniają formy performance (w relacji do tych z lat siedemdziesiątych). Rozwija się performance studies w nowy paradygmat nauki, nie tylko o kulturze i nie tylko w sztuce, ale całości aktywności człowieka w świecie, co znajduje wyraz w badaniach Eriki Fischer-Lichte która opisała „zwrot performatywny.” W ten sposób poprzez performance sztuka wraca do człowieka, do nowoczesnego humanizmu.

EN

The article refers to earlier, pioneering research on performance in Poland in the late Seventies. Recent research and written art criticism, such as the texts of Łukasz Guzek cited here, prove that performance art is changing, developing, and is a living phenomenon of contemporary art. Young artists take on the challenge of live action, and change performance forms (in relation to those of the Seventies). Performance studies develops into a new paradigm of science, not only about culture and not only in art, but about the whole of human activity in the world, which is reflected in the research of Erika Fischer-Lichte, who described the 'performative turn.' In this way, through performance, art returns to man, to modern humanism.

Language has a creative role, which establishes new language quality and through its performative function it influences the creation of reality, relations and public mood and, as a consequence, also legislative processes. In this article I assume that language does not solely play the role of an information transmitter. Thanks to its performative function it also influences human behaviour. In the article, on the basis of discourse analysis concerning the registered partnerships legalisation, I will outline the issue of discourse participants’ language behaviours as well as the means of commenting on a given event. I will also present language features characteristic for a given group participating in a communication process.
