The article is devoted to the 1984 publication entitled Wykaz treści by Krystyna Miłobędzka. The author shows the multi-faceted nature of the poetic subject and the ways of its creation. She finds that liminality is a category which helps to understand the concept of subjectivity in Miłobędzka’s poetry. Additionally, the author focuses on the opposition between language and speech, poetry and reality, writing and experience. But the key aspect of Miłobędzka’s poetry is its “staginess” and its interconnection with the liminality of the subject, the material qualities of her voice and her use of language variations.

The article deals with a newly discovered document describing the festivity Phasma Dionysiacum Pragense, which was found in the holdings of the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel. Phasma was played at Prague Castle in February 1617, opening a three days long carnival. The first evening performance with singing, music and ballet was organized on an elaborated architectonical stage. The recently found text brings several new pieces of information; of special interest is the identification of the so-called “lautenspielerin” who was singing in the role of Gloria, celebrating the Habsburgs. Included are also two further days of the carnival with knightly games, the detailed description of costumes and the names of “knights”. The interpretation of the text from Wolfenbüttel shows undoubtedly that Phasma was staged in the Old Land Diet’s Hall (Alter Landtagssaal), which is a smaller hall next to the Wladislaw Hall at the Prague Castle. The visual appearance of the event is documented by engravings which are analyzed in the context of contemporary European theatre. At the end of the article, hypothesis is formulated about the possible author of the theatre stage – the court architect Giovanni Maria Filippi. The appendix contains a complete transcription of the German text from Wolfenbüttel omitting just the parts containing the Italian arias that had been already published (Seifert 1998).

Charles Dickens’s work has been taken and adapted for many different ends. Quite a lot of attention has been given to film and television versions of the novels, many of which are very distinguished. The stage and screen musical based on his work, essentially a product of the last fifty years, has been neither as studied nor as respected. This paper looks at the con­nection between Dickens’s novels, the celebration of “London-ness” and its articulation in popular forms of working-class music and song. It will argue that potentially unpromising texts were taken and used to articulate pride and a sense of community for groups representing the disadvantaged of the East End and, more specifically, for first-generation Jewish settlers in London. This is all the more surprising as it was in the first instance through depictions of Oliver Twist and the problematic figure of Fagin that an Anglo-Jewish sensibility was able to express itself. Other texts by Dickens, notably Pickwick Papers, A Christmas Carol and The Old Curiosity Shop, were also adapted to musical forms with varying results, but the period of their heyday was relatively short, as their use of traditional and communitarian forms gave place in the people’s affection to manufactured pop/rock and operetta forms. I will argue that this decline was partly the product of changing London demographics and shifts in theatre economics and partly of the appropriation of Dickens by the academy.

The study is a probe into the world of contemporary folklore creation in the Czech lands – quite a young stage genre focused on stage adaptation of folk songs, instrumental compositions and dance, and their transition to the language of the theatre setting. The study is based on the assessment of a series of six biennial shows of folklore ensembles. This series was assessed by means of an analysis of video-records and programme brochures from the perspective of a participant and assessor of the particular years. We were interested in which directions the artistic creation of ensembles, inspired by folklore, is going, which transformations can be observed within this period of twelve years altogether and which issues have remained unchanged from the first attempts to demonstrate folk musical and dance culture on stage. The study is not aimed at an unequivocal classification of all these ways of stage work and topics. In contrast, the author tries to point out the overlaps of diverse views of the same matter, the combination of more approaches which can intersect within a single creative efforts. She tries to capture the tendencies that are safeguarded, transformed or newly discovered within this creative environment. The role of an appropriated institution (the National Information and Consulting Centre for Culture NIPOS-ARTAMA) is emphasized here. This institution provides the participants with an environment perceptive to their utterance, offers various feedback and motivates the participants for their further deeds.

In Witkacy’s plays death is omnipresent, there is almost no play ”without a corpse”. The ”natural”death, the accidental death as well, is an exception. The rule is the violent death, is murder andsexually motivated murder as well as an on stage not committed but announced suicide. Usually,death does not drive forward the action on the stage; it is just present, as a matter of course. A peculiarrole plays the sexually motivated murder, that can in both offender and victim activate an increaseof intensity of life. Death is rarely combined with tragedy, rather with comic. The overcomingof death is not in sight. Only in one single play ”love overcomes death”.

The study deals with the presentation of folk culture expressions on stage and tries to answer the questions that arise in this context. They relate both to the genesis of the presentation of folk traditions and to the subsequent developments that formed demonstrations of folk culture into a staged genre with artistic ambitions. Based on examples of selected expressions of folk culture in the Czech environment − especially expressions of folklore, which, alongside customary traditions, were always the backbone of staged presentations − the study shows how the demonstration of folk culture expressions was approached, how the performances were accepted by audiences, and which functions (ideological, artistic, and entertainment) were attributed to them. Another important question is what image of folk culture was created on the stage and how this image could have influenced the “living” terrain of the countryside and the very tendencies to protect the values of folk culture, which began to pick up strength in Czech society at the end of the nineteenth century.

Reading and Meaning in Pascal Quignard’s work Pascal Quignard makes reading the very core of his work, drawing on his erudition to feed its content. It is not, however, to be viewed as a scholarly process to legitimize the construction of a discourse. For he is always wary of any construction of meaning and consistently exposes the illusion of Logos and reason. On the contrary, his work is aimed at deconstructing their hold on them. In La Suite des chats et des ânes, Quignard recounts the lecture given to Mireille Calle-Gruber’s students at the Sorbonne, in which he comments on the writing of his novel Les Solidarités mystérieuses. What we mean to do is follow this lesson in order to trace the meaning of the readings at work in writing.

This article aims at presenting the impact that the New Romanian Shakespeare edition launched in 2010 by George Volceanov has had on the literati and theatres so far. It is, therefore, a stocktaking exercise and its main goal is to provide Shakespeare scholars with an initial data base for further investigation of theatrical productions which use the new translation as significant moments in the history of Shakespeare’s reception in Romania and, on the other hand, to occasion some reflective remarks on the six years of the series now at its tenth volume and 26 plays plus the Sonnets.

The article presents the author’s concept of differentiated approach to the study of periodization and socio-pedagogical principles of rural schools of Ukraine in the second half of the twentieth century. Rural school is seen as a socio-pedagogical phenomenon. Decisive for the development of rural schools are the demands of society to prepare pupils for life and work in different social spheres. The essence of the change objectives, content and methodological support, the school network and professional training of teachers varied in accordance with the educational paradigms. This idea is crucial to clarify the nature of external (in the Soviet era) and intra-school (in independent Ukraine) differentiation, allowing clarifying the characteristics of social and pedagogical principles for rural schools in the indicated chronological limits. In the years of the Soviet era external differentiation was based on political and economic policies towards the village and was regulated with party documents. The limits of external differentiation defined in the education acts that duplicate party instructions. The period of development of rural schools in terms of market relations in the independent Ukraine is dominant intra-school differentiation of goals, objectives, content of teaching of rural students based on personal meaning for education. Historical and pedagogical studies of definite problem based on an understanding of the priority of education paradigm that was decisive in the set of original and the upper limit of the era (Soviet schools) and schools in the independent Ukraine. Within an era we identified segments of time in historical and pedagogical development of rural school that has a beginning and completeness and is characterized by certain features of social needs on preparing young people for work and life (periods). In each period we singled out stages, characterized by chronological boundaries and essential features of the development of objectives of schooling of rural students, content, forms, methods of training and education, types of secondary schools, teacher requirements in a changing educational paradigms. Periodization of socio-pedagogical principles of rural schools performed on two groups of criteria: social and pedagogical. The concept of social criteria embedded understanding of the impact of society queries on preparing students for life and work. To this group of criteria we refer compliance of objectives and contents of secondary education with needs of socio-economic development of the society; social ideas for the development of rural schools; mechanisms of state regulation of development of rural schools; dependence types of rural schools, their structures and networks of economic, demographic, environmental factors; ties of secondary school to the cultural, social environment and economic entities in the village. To pedagogical criteria we refer: goal of education is determined by social need of preparation of youth for work; nature of the content and technological support of the educational process; network dynamics; the content and form of vocational training of the teachers; advanced teaching experience (innovative pedagogy); pedagogical theories and scientific support of rural schools in different periods.

The article is an analysis of the function of dystopia in The Silver Dream of Salomea by Juliusz Słowacki. In this drama, dystopia is identified with an evil place which is the important part of space solutions in the world represented in the piece. A new view of Ukrainian steppe representation is possible thanks to this perspective. The analysis is focused not only on space solutions, but also on theatrical metaphors that represent the inside space of the steppe. As a result of the dystopic perspective, the formal solutions which reinforce the mystical concept of the world presented in the drama become quite conspicuous.

This essay looks at the ways in which the evolving early modern urban space of London was re-presented to early modern Londoners. It focuses on aspects of how the sprawling city was culturally and literally mapped out in theatrical and other performances. It discusses in particular Thomas Middleton’s A Chaste Maid in Cheapside and Ben Jonson’s The Alchemist as plays that commented respectively on the Cheapside as a luxury market and on Blackfriars as an up-and-coming quarter boasting a new and successful theatrical venue. The area between the city and Westminster is also discussed, as is the spatial particularity of Windsor described and performed in Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor and in contemporary chorography.

The article is based on the interaction of two genres, namely travel notes, including the author's impressions of a trip to the German cities of Halle, Bad-Lauchstedt and Bernburg, as well as reviews of modern productions of Baroque operas. Halle is famous as the birthplace of the outstanding composer Georg Friedrich Handel (1685-1759). The international Handel music festival is held here every year, which also includes an international scientific Symposium dedicated to the study of the great Saxon and his contemporaries. The concept of this year's Symposium, "Sensitive, heroic, sublime: Handel's women," was to study the female images embodied in his operas. The authors traveled to Halle as journalists to describe their impressions of both the trip and the contemporary productions of Handel's stage works. But in considering the history and cultural events of this city, we were able to go beyond ordinary observations into the sphere of scientific generalizations and come to the conclusion that the directors’ understanding of these operas through the integration of musical drama with related arts was unusually expanded. To study this phenomenon, we turned to the scientific tools developed in Russia by two Soviet researchers who have become seminal in their field. One of them was the psychologist Lev Vygotsky, who, exploring the spiritual world of the hero in fiction, revealed his psychological contradictions, expressed in the conflict of the narrative and the plot. The other, Sergei Eisenstein, who knew Vygotsky’s manuscript of his study "Psychology of Art" and, with some influence from these ideas, created his own "psychology of art", which is set out in the pages of his works of different years. The core of this concept was "the transition from the Expressive Movement to the image of a work of art... as a process of the interaction of layers of consciousness", which allowed for multiple entries into the artistic image. Such entries are also supported by some features of the cinematograph where the first among equals is the principle of intellectual editing, based on Eisenstein's montage theory. In Eisenstein's theory, other types of editing—linear, parallel, associative—have been generalized and developed into a large-scale system of the psychology of heroes in art. In this article, the identification of the essence of these processes made it possible for the authors to discern the phenomenon of increasing the meaning in the Halle directors' interpretations of Handel's operas, which arises from the merger of two seemingly irreconcilable and conflicting layers of consciousness: Baroque and eclectic modern, which developed at the turn of the last century.
