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.

This paper argues that the theoretical status of the emblem in decorative art has methodological significance in emblem studies and art history, comparable to its status in the so-called book’s editorial frame. This claim is justified in the historical and theoretical tradition of defining emblems in the sources. The departure point for the author’s considerations comes from the findings of applied emblematics, and its foundation is provided by the theoretical sources describing symbolic genres (scil. emblema, symbolum, hierogliphicum) published in Poland from the 16th to the 18th century, including books of poetics, rhetoric, dictionaries and compendia. The first part of the article presents an overview of research on decorative emblems in Poland, together with factors responsible for the scarcity of such studies, including the lack of symbolic typology of the decorations, and the division into literary and non-literary studies, motivated by the philological roots of emblem studies. It is noted that the emblemata in the so-called book’s editorial frame and those in decorations should be studied separately, as the latter are of ornamental nature, and require a distinct order of perception, explication, and the recipient’s role. Besides, it is pointed out that the anachronism of the 16th-century formulae of emblema raises problems for the genological classification of Polish decorations, and so does the inter-genre, compendium type pattern of symbolism dominant in the 18th century. The second part of the article discusses the definition of the emblema, focusing on its details relevant for the artistic practice and present-day genre classification, such as technique, composition, the content of the image, which is confronted with Polish historical materials. The analysis carried out in the paper supports the claim that providing a genelogical definition of a work of art sheds light on its artistic rendition and aesthetic value. It also enhances the perspective on emblem studies, the workshop of an emblem artist and the reception of the emblem. Additionally, it enables the verification of synthetic accounts and research practice, offering a profound reflection on the chronology and previous conceptions of the emblem. Finally, it helps to formulate postulates, which can be useful for the methodology of literary emblem studies.

PL

W artykule autor śledzi związki sztuki teatru ze sztuką emblematu. Wychodząc od dzieł Albrechta Schönego i posiłkując się współczesną teorią emblematu, stawia tezę, że obydwie sztuki wykorzystują zjawisko performansu, z którym wiążą się nierozerwalnie. Strukturę emblematyczną można odnaleźć zarówno w trwałych zaczątkach teatralnego performansu (dramat lub scenariusz), jak i w jego pozostałościach (dokumenty dzieła). Emblemat stanowi więc ostateczne medium oddziaływania teatru na najdalszy społeczny dystans, kiedy zanikł wszelki żywy kontakt odbiorców ze zjawiskiem. Teatr szczególnie nastawiony na społeczną misję, najchętniej sięga do środków sztuki emblematu. Tytułowa „przestrzeń emblematyczna” – to abstrakcyjna kategorialna przestrzeń, którą ustanawia i w której zachodzi performans życiowy, społeczny czy sceniczny. Otwiera się ona w powszechnej świadomości jako jego „scena”. W teatrze takie przestrzenie powołuje się programowo; w życiu powszednim tworzą się one samorzutnie, jako emanacje zbiorowych oczekiwań lub nadziei, albo poprzez działania jednostek.
