The paper aims to explore some exemplary pieces of dramatic literature from antiquity and the Renaissance and especially from modern and postmodern works such as The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, ‘Night Mother by Marsha Norman and A Movie Star Has to Star in Black and White by Adrienne Kennedy through the lens of body, disability and gender studies. While the paper mainly focuses on these three plays, it is not restricted to them. The pieces illustrate how the stage representation of physically or mentally challenged characters has changed and the process through which disabled performance has transferred into performative acts.

“The yellow duck” attacks: An analysis of the activities of the “Ne da(vi)mo Beograd” initiative in the Serbian public spaceThe main aim of the paper is to present the performative dimension of activities undertaken by the “Ne da(vi)mo Beograd” Initiative. The Initiative’s actions, which initially concerned opposition to the “Belgrade on Water” project, turned into a regular political campaign. These activities clearly illustrate contemporary ways of managing civil opposition, as well as performative practices aimed at creating a civil society. The focus is on verbal and non-verbal practices of expressing resistance, as well as strategies for building a sense of community among the participants of the Initiative’s gatherings. „Żółta kaczka” atakuj. Aanaliza działalności inicjatywy „Ne da(vi)mo Beograd” w serbskiej przestrzeni publicznejCelem artykułu jest przedstawienie performatywnego wymiaru działań podejmowanych przez inicjatywę „Ne da(vi)mo Beograd”. Akcje inicjatywy, początkowo związane ze sprzeciwem wobec projektu „Belgrad na wodzie”, przerodziły się w regularną kampanię polityczną. Działania te dobrze ilustrują współczesne sposoby zarządzania sprzeciwem obywatelskim, a także praktyki performatywne mające na celu tworzenie społeczeństwa obywatelskiego. W centrum zainteresowania znajdują się werbalne i niewerbalne praktyki wyrażania oporu, a także strategie budowania poczucia wspólnotowości wśród uczestników zgromadzeń organizowanych przez inicjatywę.

The main purpose of this paper is to reflect upon the question to what extent contemporary politics is only the “eristic technique” skilled at introducing pathos and instrumentally appealing to logos and ethos. Aristotle’s rhetorical triad-logos, ethos, pathos-makes rhetoric the art of persuasive or honest communication. Applying methods developed by psychoanalysis and in reference to the work of Freud, Lacan, Searle, Laclau, Ranciere and Foucault author reflect on the premises, the shape and the consequences of contemporary sophistic politics. Author is tempted to test the intuition according to which the prototype of a method of communication is catachresis, a figure of speech in which a word or phrase has vastly departed from its traditional, paradigmatic usage.
