(in Polish) Konwersatorium literaturoznawcze I/IIp : A gdybyśmy tak wystawili…? - Interpretacja tekstu, inscenizacja przedstawienia (XVII-XX w.) 3304-1DPXW-KL-041-OG

Compositional-stylistic, psychological, socio-historical analysis of dramatic texts (each person chooses one of the five proposed one-act plays by French-speaking authors), set in the history of literature and theater. In the second part of the semester, discussion on individual staging projects, with references to various directions in art and philosophy.
The starting point is a recapitulation of the basic aesthetic categories regarding composition, conventions, genres and determinants of the dramatic text and theater performance based on a production watched together (in the theater and/or on video). The repertoire of analysis tools is gradually expanded during analyzes and presentations of selected items. During the classes, issues such as the freedom of staging in relation to the text, the consequences of transgressive designs, and the perspectives of postmodern art are discussed.
