The manuscript of the diary, written by Helena Modrzejewska from 1 January to 16 February 1893, is kept in Jan Ignacy Paderewski’s collection at the National Library in Warsaw. Published several times in several variants, both in whole and in fragments (including the excerpts published in the Polish magazines such as Czas, Kierunki, Teatr and in monographs by Marion M. Coleman and Józef Szczublewski), Modrzejewska's diary has become ridden with numerous editorial inaccuracies.

The current edition of Helena Modrzejewska's diary is annotated with regard to its content: the events of the first six weeks of 1893, people described by Modrzejewska and their relationship with the actress, performances and theatrical plays, as well as the publishing history of the diary. The accompanying notes help situate it in the context of the subsequent editions, but also Modrzejewska's memoirs written after many years. The current publication is the first genetic edition that places a special emphasis on the process of editing the manuscript: corrections made by the author herself, as well as the editors, and also the changes introduced later by the publishers.

This article introduces the activity of artistic directors Teresa Costantini, Angela Paghetti, and Colomba Coppa in the service of Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga-Nevers, their generous patron and the last Duke of Mantua. Referencing studies that were initiated 30 years ago in the field of musicology and using recent historical research and archival sources, the essay highlights the artistic, organisational, and management responsibilities of commedia dell’arte directors. It reconstructs their relations with Ferdinando Carlo, ducal agents, and the Gonzaga court, while also focussing on their relations with Venetian Grimani impresarios, with whom the Duke of Mantua had established a lasting and generous collaboration. Performing women, prejudicially equated with prostitutes and beneficiaries of gifts and privileges, were depictions of love and glory for a discredited prince, whose array of artists was, however, amongst the most dense and dynamic in Italy. Actresses progressively moved away from the codes of courtliness and, as professionals registered and paid with money, they came to have strong bargaining power and levels of autonomy. However, they were subjected to rules and obligations, especially in Venice, where theatre owners made spaces available only to companies under the protection of the princes who were politically aligned with the Serenissima. During the years of the so-called Spanish succession war, Diana, Aurelia, and the others moved between Venice, Mantua, and Casale, where Ferdinando Carlo had moved after the blockade of Mantua, accompanied by a colourful procession of women, musicians, and commedia actors. Through theatrical misadventures mingled with military manoeuvres in Mantuan territory, and via changes of destination, programme, or repertoire, we read the story of a duchy that had lost its identity and of a rapidly changing theatrical market.

Il contributo presenta l’attività delle capocomiche Teresa Costantini, Angela Paghetti, Colomba Coppa al servizio di Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga-Nevers, ultimo duca di Mantova e generoso mecenate. Sulla linea di studi iniziati trenta anni fa sul versante musicologico e delle recenti ricerche storiche, il saggio, condotto su fonti d’archivio, mette in evidenza le responsabilità di ordine artistico, organizzativo e gestionale delle capocomiche della Commedia dell’Arte e ricostruisce da un lato i loro rapporti con Ferdinando Carlo, gli agenti ducali e la corte gonzaghesca; dall’altro con gli impresari veneziani Grimani, con i quali il duca di Mantova aveva stabilito una duratura e generosa collaborazione. Le donne di spettacolo, pregiudizialmente equiparate alle prostitute e beneficiarie di regali e di privilegi, erano raffigurazioni d’amore e di gloria per un principe screditato, la cui schiera di artisti fu però fra le più folte e dinamiche d’Italia. Le attrici si allontanarono progressivamente dai codici della cortigianeria e in qualità di professioniste scritturate e retribuite in denaro vantarono forte potere contrattuale e margini di autonomia; ma furono sottoposte a regole e obblighi soprattutto a Venezia, dove i proprietari dei teatri rendevano disponibili gli spazi solo alle compagnie sotto la protezione dei prìncipi politicamente allineati con la Serenissima. Durante gli anni della cosiddetta guerra di successione spagnola, Diana, Aurelia e le altre si mossero fra Venezia, Mantova e Casale, dove Ferdinando Carlo si era trasferito dopo il blocco di Mantova accompagnato da un variopinto corteggio di donne, musicisti e commedianti. Le disavventure teatrali si incrociarono con le manovre militari nel territorio mantovano e dietro i cambi di destinazione, di programma o di repertorio leggiamo in filigrana la storia di un ducato che aveva smarrito la propria identità e di un mercato teatrale in rapida trasformazione.

Critical studies on the theatre from the 19 th and 20 th centuries, even founding ones, are limited as they do not include a gender category – a paradox in a space where bodies are central. The actresses, in fact, give life to different stories, which allow for the enrichment of historical-critical reconstructions. Given the vastness of the topic, this article aims to identify some fundamental turning points. We begin with the legacy of the 19 th century, rich from both a linguistic and a historical-critical viewpoint; the article moves on to the post-Duse period, which saw, on the one hand, the birth of the actor-artist’s Italian specificity and, on the other, the crisis of female leaders of theatre companies; then, the article discusses the birth of Italian theatre direction in the period following the Second World War and the reaction of a few actresses, like Anna Magnani, who aimed to re-create the reality that was to be reclaimed by the history of theatre. Finally, the article explores the breakdown caused by the New Theatre and even calls into discussion the word for “actress”, with overlaps in the fields of theatre direction and dramaturgy.

Gli studi critici sul teatro dell’ 800 e del 900, anche quelli fondativi, hanno il limite di non usare la categoria di gender: un paradosso in un ambito in cui il corpo è centrale. Le attrici infatti danno vita a storie diverse, che permettono di arricchire le ricostruzioni storico-critiche. Data l’ampiezza del tema, il saggio punta sull’individuazione di alcuni snodi fondamentali: il lascito ottocentesco, ricco sia dal punto di vista del linguaggio che da quello socio-culturale; il dopo-Duse, che registra da un lato la nascita della specificità italiana dell’attore-artista e, dall’altro, la crisi del capocomicato femminile; la nascita della regia italiana nel secondo dopoguerra e la reazione di alcune attrici che puntano sulla ri-creazione della realtà, come Anna Magnani, che va riconquistata alla storia del teatro; la rottura operata dal Nuovo teatro e la messa in discussione sin della parola attrice, con sconfinamenti nei campi della regia e della drammaturgia.

While writing for the Venetian stage, Carlo Goldoni adhered to the requirements of the commedia dell’arte theatre, and thanks to his successful cooperation with actors, he gradually introduced changes to the ossified convention. The comedian-playwright wrote many of his texts for particular performers, using their personal qualities, stage experience, interpersonal relations within the team, and even biographies. Caterina Bresciani is an actress with whom Goldoni worked for as many as 10 theatre seasons, from 1753 to 1762, yet Goldoni does not mention much about her in his memoirs. To her, he owes his greatest stage success in Venice, La sposa persiana (1753), and two subsequent episodes of the story of the wild slave of Ircana. The aim of this article is to analyse the new typology of a female role, created for her first female performer, as well as to examine the performative traces hidden in the texts that will allow us to recreate the Bresciani style of acting.

Carlo Goldoni si adattò alle esigenze del teatro dell’arte e grazie alla collaborazione con valenti comici, muniti di eccellenti doti interpretative, introdusse dei cambiamenti nella tradizionale convenzione. L’autore scrisse molte commedie per degli attori concreti sfruttando la loro indole, l’esperienza professionale, le relazioni interpersonali all’interno della compagnia e perfino la loro biografia. Caterina Bresciani, attrice fiorentina che per 10 stagioni, dal 1753 al 1762, collaborò con Carlo Goldoni, nelle sue memorie compare poco. A lei l’autore dovette il suo più grande successo scenico, ossia La sposa persiana (1753) e altri due episodi della fortunata storia. L’obiettivo dell’intervento è indagare la nuova tipologia del personaggio – concepito su misura per la Bresciani – presente nella famosa trilogia dell’Ircana (La sposa persiana, Ircana in Julfa, Ircana in Ispaan) e cercare le tracce performative della prima interprete del ruolo sparse nel testo.

Numerous notarial deeds are kept in the State Archive of Mantua, involving some of the most famous comedians of the 17 th century. Piermaria Cecchini (Frittellino); Francesco Andreini and his sons Domenico and Giacinto; Giovan Battista (Lelio) with his son Pietro Enrico; Tristano Martinelli; and others used notaries for wills, sales contracts, debt reduction, inventories of assets, and dowries. Some of these documents also involve the women of the Andreini family: Lavinia (sister Fulvia), Caterina (perhaps sister Clarastella), Virginia Ramponi Andreini (Florinda). In particular, an emancipation deed (1620) indirectly affected Virginia (Genoa, 1583? – before 17 November 1631), the first wife of Giovan Battista Andreini. On the basis of document analysis, two perspectives are explored: Virginia’s peculiar contribution to the activities of the family, also from an economic point of view; and the status of women with regards to emancipation, which must be understood from a legal point of view that was patriarchal and defensive of property. The article thus becomes an opportunity to reflect, starting from Virginia but gazing even beyond, on the condition of women who were active in the theatrical and musical world between jurisprudence, artistic professions, economic heritage, and daily life. In conclusion, through some selected examples (the concerto delle dame of Ferrara, Adriana Basile, Margherita Salicola, Antonia Merighi), the theme of emancipation throughout the 17 th century is analysed, a period when women singers successfully populated the new operatic market. As the law remained unchanged, these women experimented with different strategies to protect their own person and assets.

Nell’archivio di stato di Mantova sono conservati numerosi atti notarili, che coinvolgono alcuni fra i più famosi comici del Seicento. Piermaria Cecchini (Frittellino), Francesco Andreini e i suoi figli Domenico e Giacinto, Giovan Battista (Lelio) con suo figlio Pietro Enrico, Tristano Martinelli e altri, ricorsero ai notai per i loro testamenti, contratti d’acquisto e vendita, liberazione da crediti, inventari di beni e doti. Alcuni di quegli atti interessano anche i membri femminili della famiglia Andreini: Lavinia (suor Fulvia), Caterina (forse suor Clarastella), Virginia Ramponi Andreini (Florinda). In particolare, un atto di emancipazione (1620) toccò indirettamente Virginia (Genova, 1583 – ?, ante 17 novembre 1631), prima moglie di Giovan Battista Andreini. Sulla base dell’analisi del documento, vengono trattate due prospettive: il peculiare contributo di Virginia alle attività della famiglia anche sotto il profilo economico; lo stato delle donne nei confronti dell’emancipazione, intesa sotto il profilo giuridico che era patriarcale e difensivo dei patrimoni. Il documento diviene quindi occasione per riflettere, partendo da Virginia ma spingendo poi lo sguardo oltre, sulla condizione delle donne attive nel mondo teatrale e musicale fra giurisprudenza, professioni artistiche, patrimoni economici e vita quotidiana. In conclusione, attraverso alcuni selezionati esempi (il concerto delle dame di Ferrara, Adriana Basile, Margherita Salicola, Antonia Merighi), il tema dell’emancipazione viene osservato in tutto il Seicento, quando le cantanti donne popolavano il nuovo mercato operistico con successo, anche economico. Poiché la legge era rimasta invariata, esse sperimentarono diverse strategie per tutelare la propria persona e i propri patrimoni.

This article covers the artistic achievements of Aleksandra Śląska (1925–1989), a Polish theatre and film actress remembered mainly for her portrayals of German women and aristocrats.The author focuses on the emergence of this typecasting of Śląska and counters it with a discussion of her less known professional image. The article offers an analysis of a wide array of Śląska’s diverse roles, from a part in Leon Kruczkowski’s drama Niemcy (Germans), through the title role in Henry de Montherlant’s La Reine morte and Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire, to successful appearances in comedies, such as Elwira in Aleksander Fredro’s Mąż i żona (Man and Wife). The author shows that Śląska’s generation shaped Polish culture under the People’s Republic and contributed to the development of new media. Śląska co-created the Polish school of radio play, Polish school of dubbing, and Television Theatre. The article juxtaposes the myth of a cold, unapproachable actress with the image of a multi-talented interpreter exploring the complexity of human nature, a woman of the theatre active in a number of different areas.

Helena from Majewski Kirkorowa was an actress of the Vilnius and Krakow scene. She started her career in Vilnius. After marrying Adam Honory Kirkor, archaeologist, publisher, publicist, editor and theater critic, she got involved in an affair with the poet Ludwik Kondratowicz (Władysław Syrokomla). After parting with her husband, she came to Krakow, where she performed in the theater of Juliusz Pfeifra. Then she came to Warsaw. She was quickly involved in conspiracy. There was a courier of the National Government, transporting messages and commands across the border. Romuald Traugutt, the last dictator of the January Uprising, was arrested in her apartment at Smolna Street in Warsaw. She was soon imprisoned and Kirkorowa. The court sentenced her to settle in Siberia with the deprivation of all rights, which soon turned into eight years of hard work. In August 1864, Kirkorowa was deported to Siberia. During the exile, she married Antoni Pióro. After returning from exile, she lived in Vitebsk, where she died on January 5, 1900.

Na fali ruchu #metoo na planie filmowym (oraz w debacie publicznej) pojawił się nowy zawód: koordynatorka intymności. Jej zadaniem jest zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa i komfortu pracy aktorkom oraz aktorom uczestniczącym w scenach intymnych wymagających nagości lub symulowania seksu. Koordynacja (lub mediacja) oznacza również, że wysiłki te są podejmowane z myślą o artystycznych celach twórców filmu. Dyskusja na temat koordynacji intymności w filmie budzi dużo nadziei, ale też wiele wątpliwości i kontrowersji. Sygnalizują one zmiany dokonujące się w przemyśle filmowym, ujawniają długie życie pewnych przekonań i uprzedzeń, dotyczących zarówno seksualności oraz jej reprezentacji, jak i rozumienia sztuki filmowej. Autorka wskazuje niektóre z nich, dotyczące statusu aktorki i jej ciała, istoty aktorstwa oraz procesualnego i zespołowego charakteru pracy na planie. (Materiał nierecenzowany).

With the #metoo movement, a new profession appeared on the film set (and in the public debate): the intimacy coordinator. Her task is to ensure the security and comfort of actresses and actors participating in intimate scenes requiring nudity or simulating sex. Coordination (or mediation) also implies that these efforts are made with the filmmakers’ artistic goals in mind. The discussion on intimacy coordination in film evokes a lot of hope, doubts and controversy. They signal changes taking place in the film industry and reveal the long life of certain beliefs and prejudices, related both to sexuality and its representations and to the understanding of the film art. The author indicates some of them, concerning the status of the actress and her body, the essence of acting, and the processual and team nature of working on the set. (Non-reviewed material).
