The course introduces students to the issue of mediality in theatrical and cultural performances from the beginnings of Euro-American cultural history to the end of the 20th century. The following topics will be discussed and demonstrated through historical examples: Indirect representation in theatre and cultural performances - The question of realism in theatre and drama - Visual representation and paradigm shifts - The theatrical text - Music as a component of performance - Reception of theatrical and cultural performances - Theatre and media - Intermedial aspects of performance.
Upon completing the course, the student will understand theatre as a medium and its specific mediality, including fundamental paradigms such as mimesis, poiesis, catharsis, and aisthesis. They will gain insight into the relationship between staged drama and social drama. The student will also grasp media theories concerning theatre as both a medium and an environment, as well as aesthetic and cultural concepts of intermediality, including embodiment and the phenomenon of liveness within the evolving media landscape.
