商品描述

Theatre has long been an art form at the centre of public life in Poland. Whether it is the self-professed poet-prophets of the Romantic era, or the dissident theatre makers working under the strictures of state socialism, the art form has played a vital role in the development of Polish culture and politics in the context of shifting foreign occupations. This book explores the relationship between contemporary Polish theatre makers and contemporary notions of Polishness, and argues that queer theory, and specifically a Polish appropriation of queer theory, can be a crucial element to better understand the politicality of the contemporary Polish theatre field. It does this by focusing on critical theatre productions which are produced at the margins of the Polish theatre field, a choice which has been made as the field is dominated by traditional drama theatres which reproduce a Polish variation on the Western canon. This makes smaller, atypical, and independent theatre productionsall the more significant, as they signify a refusal to continue the traditional role of the Polish theatre field in reproducing the canon of Polish Romanticism. As such, the book argues that contemporary Polish theatre has been marked by a struggle between those building performances and state authorities that see those creations as a threat to their authority.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

劇場長期以來一直是波蘭公共生活中的核心藝術形式。無論是自稱為浪漫時代的詩人先知，還是那些在國家社會主義的嚴格限制下工作的異議劇場創作者，這種藝術形式在波蘭文化和政治的發展中扮演了至關重要的角色，尤其是在外國佔領變遷的背景下。本書探討當代波蘭劇場創作者與當代波蘭身份概念之間的關係，並主張酷兒理論，特別是波蘭對酷兒理論的詮釋，可以成為更好理解當代波蘭劇場領域政治性的關鍵要素。書中通過聚焦於在波蘭劇場領域邊緣製作的批判性劇場作品來實現這一點，這一選擇是因為該領域由重複西方經典的傳統戲劇劇場主導。這使得較小的、非典型的和獨立的劇場作品顯得更加重要，因為它們象徵著對繼續傳統波蘭劇場在重複波蘭浪漫主義經典角色的拒絕。因此，本書主張當代波蘭劇場的特徵是那些創作表演的人與視這些創作為對其權威威脅的國家當局之間的鬥爭。

作者簡介

Jonas Vanderschueren is a postdoctoral researcher at the Cultural Studies Institute of KU Leuven, Belgium, where he specializes in contemporary Polish theatre, performance, and culture. He recently obtained his PhD in Cultural Studies, which investigated the artistic strategies that contemporary Polish makers have developed to resist the pressures to comply with Polish normativity, an inseparable collision between Polish nationalism and heteronormativity. He is currently working on REFAM, a CELSA-funded research collaboration between KU Leuven, University of Tartu, and Jagiellonian University. Previously he was affiliated with the Department for Central and Eastern European Languages and Cultures of Ghent University, while he has also worked as a freelance journalist for publications as diverse as Knack, MO*, SamPol, Etcetera, and Jacobin NL.
