IAM Raport.Indb Foreword Paweł Potoroczyn, Director of Adam Mickiewicz Institute At the Adam Mickiewicz Institute we believe that culture is crucial not only for a given society but for a family of societies that want to lead a happy live together. We also believe that for culture to exist it in in- dispensable to have a dynamic exchange and an open debate. Th ese are not possible without established contacts and regular communication. Having said that let me add just one more thing - as cultural exchange professionals we want to use the best tools available to pursue our goals. If such tools are not readily available, we try to develop them. Th e East European Performing Arts Platform (Th eatre and Dance), established in 2010, is a case in point. I am convinced that this platform will help us build bridges between Europe and the Eastern Partner- ship countries, that it help us gain a bett er understanding of each other and eventually enable us to create and present works that will be of the highest artistic value. I also truly believe that these works will be socially and politically relevant – and so they will help us build a bett er future for us.

Not only do we have dissimilar development paths and systems, but we also know surprisingly litt le about each other. In the past two decades we have observed a burgeoning growth of international theatre festivals in both Central and Eastern Europe, occasionally verging on almost absurd excess, but this phenomenon rarely translates into genuine cooperation between the artists. We do not go to our neighbour’s festivals nearly oft en enough, nor do we carefully observe foreign artists, and the interests of theatre critics and curators continues to be directed toward the west of the Old Continent. Matt ers are slightly diff erent when it comes to dance, where out of necessity international contacts are more developed (local funding is usually so meagre that only international cooperation allows the artists to be active and new perform- ances to be produced). Th e connections between Eastern Europe and Germany, France, Great Britain, and the Netherlands are much stronger. Th ey are a direct result of the soft -power strategy and cultural policies adopted by these countries. To put it bluntly and shortly, contacts and communication develop where the money is. Moscow, however, still remains an important point of reference (especially for the countries of the Eastern Partnership). Additionally, in the realm of the performing arts, Central and Eastern Europe suff er from a poor fl ow of information and a still dominant sense of isolation (especially in the countries excluded from the European cultural circuit because of their unstable political situation). Cultural production has become dominated by small, private organizations, oft en located in apartments or makeshift studios, with no public support. And those very projects, carried out beyond institutionalized theatre—in performing arts and in artistic ventures on the border of disciplines and norms—are where the most interesting artistic events take place – events that are capable of generating discussion and questioning the prevalent opinions and stereotypes. It was out of this, that we came up with the idea for the Eastern European Performing Arts Platform. Th e project, initiated by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of the Polish EU Presidency, has thus far reached eighteen countries: Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, the Ukraine, Belarus, Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland. Th e program has been created as a result of cooperation between inde- pendent experts

  • THE IMPACT of the ARMENIAN GENOCIDE on the FORMATION of NATIONAL STATEHOOD and POLITICAL IDENTITY “Today Most Armenians Do
    ASHOT ALEKSANYAN THE IMPACT OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ON THE FORMATION OF NATIONAL STATEHOOD AND POLITICAL IDENTITY Key words – Armenian Genocide, pre-genocide, post-genocide, national statehood, Armenian statehood heritage, political identity, civiliarchic elite, civilization, civic culture, Armenian diaspora, Armenian civiliarchy “Today most Armenians do not live in the Republic of Armenia. Indeed, most Armenians have deep ties to the countries where they live. Like a lot of us, many Armenians find themselves balancing their role in their new country with their historical and cultural roots. How far should they assimilate into their new countries? Does Armenian history and culture have something to offer Armenians as they live their lives now? When do historical and cultural memories create self-imposed limits on individuals?”1 Introduction The relevance of this article is determined, on the one hand, the multidimen- sionality of issues related to understanding the role of statehood and the political and legal system in the development of Armenian civilization, civic culture and identity, on the other hand - the negative impact of the long absence of national system of public administration and the devastating impact of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 on the further development of the Armenian statehood and civiliarchy. Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey was the first ever large-scale crime against humanity and human values. Taking advantage of the beginning of World War I, the Turkish authorities have organized mass murder and deportations of Armenians from their historic homeland. Genocide divided the civiliarchy of the Armenian people in three parts: before the genocide (pre-genocide), during the genocide and after the genocide (post-genocide).

  • GAVELLA U PROLOGU Darko Gašparović
    GAVELLA U PROLOGU Darko Gašparović 1. Prvi broj kazališnoga časopisa Prolog1 izašao je u travnju 1968., kad se bilo navršilo šest godina od smrti Branka Gavelle, redatelja i mislioca teatra koji je bitno obilježio razvoj hrvatskoga glumišta u razdoblju od 1920. pa sve do sedamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća. Donju granicu njegova ključnog utjecaja postavljamo na godine neposredno poslije Prvoga svjetskog rata. Pitanje je zašto, kad znamo da je svoju prvu režiju, tragediju Messin- ska vjerenica Friedricha Schillera, bio ostvario u Hrvatskome narodnom kazalištu 1914. godine.2 Zbog izbijanja Prvoga svjetskog rata, unovačenja i odlaska na galicijsko bojište, Gavella se u kazalište kao redatelj vratio tek u kasnu jesen 1917. kad postavlja komediju u tri čina Alfreda de Musseta 1 Izdavač je bio Sveučilišni odbor SSJ, a uredništvo su činili mahom dvadeseto godišnjaci, od najmlađega, brucoša filozofije i anglistike Slobodana Šnajdera, do najstarijega, redatelja Mire Međimorca s dvadeset pet godina. Osta- li su članovi uredništva bili kritičar i esejist Darko Gašparović, prozaik Drago Kekanović, publicist Vladimir Roksandić i student glume Ante Rumora (glavni urednik). 2 Premijera je bila 19. III. 1914., a do 28. IV. nanizale su se svega tri izvedbe. 321 Svijećnjak.3 Do tada je zagrebačkom scenom suvereno vladao Josip Bach, koji je režirao većinu predstava, ujedno obnašajući dužnost ravnatelja Drame. Otada pa sve do kraja godine 1924., kad odlazi u Beograd na mjesto ravnatelja i redatelja Drame Narodnoga pozorišta, Gavella se postupno nametnuo ključnom figurom hrvatske režije u tome razdoblju, uz već spomenutoga Bacha i Ivu Raića, koji je udario temelje modernoj režiji u Hrvatskoj postavkom Shakespeareova Koriolana 1909.4 To je doba kad još uvijek mladi predratni doktor bečke filozofije i kazališni kritičar u dnevniku na njemačkome jeziku Agramer Tagblatt koji se potpisivao šifrom – ll režira svoje prve značajne i stilski samosvojne predstave u zagrebačkome HNK-u, što će kulminaciju imati u suradnji s mladim dramatičarom Miroslavom Krležom.

  • Redatelj Koji Vlada Scenom Branko Gavella I Modernizacija Slovenskog Kazališta
    REDATELJ KOJI VLADA SCENOM BRANKO GAVELLA I MODERNIZACIJA SLOVENSKOG KAZALIŠTA Primož Jesenko Uloga Branka Gavelle (1885. – 1962.) na prostoru nekadašnje Jugo­ slavije, u Ljubljani, Zagrebu i u Beogradu, glavnim kazališnim središtima u tadašnjoj zajedničkoj državi, velika je, i bila je u zapisima Dušana Moravca i Filipa Kalana, Nikole Batušića i Georgija Para, već i znanstveno objašnjena. U godinama između 1920. i 1926., prijelaznim godinama između amaterskih nastojanja i umjetničkog kazališta, umjetnička razina slovenskog kazališta nije bila zavidna. Publika je tražila svoje i ako to nije dobila, u sve se većoj mjeri otuđivala, piše Moravec. Tako danas znamo da je Gavellin sistem režije bio ključan za idejno-estetsku i stilsku europeizaciju jugoslavenskog kazališta, za »prijelom iz romantičnog klasicizma u plemeniti realizam«.1 U Ljubljani je, u međuratnom razdoblju, utjecaj na stil slovenskog kazališta i njegov repertoar kao izvedbeni uzor imao Narodni divadlo iz Praga, a slabije su tragove ostavila kazališta iz 1 Lojze Filipič, Doktor Branko Gavella (Spominske reminiscence njegovega učenca). GL Drama SNG Ljubljana 1961/62, str. 36­38. 384 prijestolnice zajedničke države ili iz Zagreba. U to je doba Gavella isprva bio gostujući redatelj u Narodnom gledališču u Ljubljani, zatim redovni član redateljskog zbora, a poslije oslobođenja nakratko i pedagog za režiju na ljubljanskoj Akademiji za igralsko umetnost (AIU). Odobrenje Ministarstva za prosvjetu u Beogradu 1930. godine, koje se odnosilo na Gavellino »povremeno« režiranje u Ljubljani, osigurao je dopis Otona Župančiča, ondašnjeg ravnatelja Drame i Opere Narodnog kazališta u Ljubljani. (Zbog šestojanuarske diktature 1929. Gavella napušta Beograd.) Razlog za Župančičev prijedlog bio je manjak redatelja u Narodnom kazalištu u Ljubljani, jednako kao i stagnirajući estetski monopol dotadašnjih nositelja dramske režije Osipa Šesta, Cirila Debevca ili Milana Skrbinšeka, što je dovelo do inflacije raznovrsnosti u repertoaru.

  • The Theory of the Café Peripheral: Laghidze's Waters and Peripheral
    189 ARTICLES Paul Manning The Theory of the Café Peripheral: Laghidze’s Waters and Peripheral Urban Modernity Theories of the Cafй Central. One of the most celebrated writings on cafйs in general is Polgar’s Theory of the Cafй Central [1926], essentially a feuilleton-manifesto written from within the world of the eponymous Viennese cafй. The theory is not surprising: the cafй expresses a certain kind of modern urban public sub- jectivity. I am only interested in the title. Why does the Cafй Central need a theory? And what kind of theory would a Cafй Peripheral need? A cafй like, for example, Laghidze’s Cafй, a soft drink cafй in Kutaisi, and later Tbilisi, throughout the twentieth century expressed Georgia’s aspirations for European urban modernity. However, since it was located in a periphery and not the metropole, it could not help but express the deeply felt absence of the very modernity it sought to express. An in- carnation here and now of an urban modernity better instantiated elsewhere, it is constantly threatened by its physical situation on the periphery. There are actually a lot of ‘theories of the Cafй Central’, taking ‘cafй central’ in a wider sense: cafйs that happen to occur in places stereo- typically thought to be central to self-con- Paul Manning gratulatory social imaginaries like ‘European Trent University, urban modernity’.

  • An Early Concept of the Theatre of Interplay: the Relevance of Branko Gavella's Theory for the Development of Performance Phil
    PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY AN EARLY CONCEPT OF THE THEATRE OF INTERPLAY: THE RELEVANCE OF BRANKO GAVELLA’S THEORY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY1 SIBILA PETLEVSKI UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB Branko Gavella (1885–1962), a well-known Croatian theatre director of late modernity, had a significant impact on ex-Yugoslav theatrical life. However, it is important to stress the fact that Gavella’s formative years were spent in Austro-Hungarian cultural milieu: he defended a doctoral thesis in the field of epistemology under the title Die Erkenntnistheoretische Bedeutung des Urteils [The Epistemological Significance of Judgment] in Vienna in the year 1908, then he started contributing theatre reviews to Agramer Tagblatt in 1910, and he put his first theatrical production—Schiller’s The Bride of Messina—on the stage of Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, in the year of 1914. Gavella had conceived the conceptual gist of his theoretical work in the early thirties (see Gavella 1934a, 1934b, 1934c), and it is beyond any doubt that his anticipatory theoretical insights into the phenomenon of acting make him a pioneer in the modern, and to a certain anticipatory degree, in the postmodern field of performance philosophy. Upon thoroughly reading the available material—Gavella’s theoretical essays and fragments posthumously collected under the title Glumac i kazalište [Actor and Theatre]; exploring the wider context of his thought on theatre aesthetics as presented in the articles and pieces published in various periodicals and in his books Književnost i kazalište [Literature and Theatre] and Hrvatsko glumište [Croatian Stage]— we have for the first time extrapolated the theoretical and philosophical level of Gavella’s approach to theatre performance, publishing our findings in 2001.
