Przestrzeń emblematyczna

In this paper, the author traces the connections between the art of the theater and the art of the emblem. Revisiting the work of Albrecht Schöne and referring to the present theories of the emblem, the author claims that both art forms employ performance, which inseparably connects them. Emblematic structures can be found both in the beginnings of a theatrical performance (the play or the script) and in its remains (the documentation of the performance). The emblem is therefore the ultimate medium of the theater’s influence and transmission at the longest social distance, when any direct link of the audience with the original performance has already vanished. We can observe that theater more oriented towards social impact tends to utilize emblematics all the more willingly. Finally, the author introduces the notion of the “emblematic space”: an abstract categorial space, which is constituted and transformed through performance, containing it as its “stage.” Theater’s task is creating such spaces; in everyday social life, they arise spontaneously as emanations of the collective hopes or expectations; they are also set up by individual efforts.

Our text presents the theoretical approach to the problems of body and technology in stage performance. The starting point is the status of the categories such as presence, ephemerality, immediacy of the (theatre) performance, radically undermined in the texts of performance studies scholars such as Rebecca Schneider, Amelia Jones or Philip Auslander. Utilizing examples of performances from young Polish theatre: Krzysztof Garbaczewski (b. 1983) and Radosław Rychcik (b. 1981), we juxtapose two functioning models of the body-technology relation on stage. The first – represented by Garbaczewski – is based on an understanding of the body as always mediated. It multiplies (undermines) the body's presence by use of audio-visual means. The second – Rychcik's case – is to push the theatrical presence of the body to the absolute maximum. In this case, the audio-visual layer is used to build a strong opposition to the actor's stage presence. The two examples are used to propose a new theoretical approach. We show that such stage phenomena are not only a sign of a (technological) reality shift, but also, a very important theoretical input in the understanding of theatre. We state that every single body on stage (no matter if consciously, as in Garbaczewski's case, or unconsciously as in the Rychcik's case) is already mediated and the use of technological tools is a way to play with this specific character of theatre corporeality. This broader perspective also incorporates elements of the political dimension of annexing media-mediated and media-manipulated corporeality, for it will follow the apparently transparent and natural dimension of such actions, whereby once again it will turn, as postulated by Jacques Rancière, aesthetic considerations into political considerations.

List do redakcji w sprawie artykułu Małgorzaty Sugiery "Performatywność jako postawa/perspektywa" opublikowanego w "Pamiętniku Teatralnym" 71, z. 4 (2022).
PL
Artykuł ma na celu ukazanie filmu jako „przedmiotu” działającego – wywołującego spory, ustanawiającego nowe przestrzenie konfliktu oraz ujawniającego wiedzę wspólnot interpretacyjnych. W tym celu przywołuję teorię posthumanizmu, będącego jednym z przejawów zwrotu performatywnego w humanistyce. Według niej, społecznych zmian nie da się interpretować bez włączania w proces refleksji przedmiotów nieożywionych, które wyznaczają ramę ludzkiego postępowania i myślenia. Najważniejszą częścią artykułu jest analiza recepcji filmu Układ zamknięty Ryszarda Bugajskiego, na przykładzie której tropię, w jaki sposób film oddziałuje na odbiorców, ustanawia wspólnoty interpretacyjne oraz staje się aktywnym czynnikiem więziotwórczym.

This article shows film as a performing “object”, which induces controversies, establishes new fields of conflicts and discloses knowledge of interpretive communities. For this reason I use theory of posthumanism, what is a part of performative turn in the humanities. The main part of this article is an analysis of The Closed Circuit’s reception. It is an example of how film influences on viewers, establishes interpretative communities and becomes an active agent.
