  • Chapter One a Theoretical Background to the Figure of The
    19 Chapter One A Theoretical Background to the figure of the Artist in Literature and Theatre In an article published in Fall 2009, Csilla Bertha maintains that the central place an artist occupies within a work of art adds an additional dimension to plays, since the fictional artist’s point of view, attitudes to the world and evaluation of phenomena, may double or multiply the layers of the connections between art and life. She then adds: If an artist is chosen to be the protagonist of a play or novel, that choice naturally leads to the thematization of questions and dilemmas about the existence of art and the artist; relations between art and life, art/artist and the world; the nature of artistic creation; differences between ways of life, values, and views of ordinary people and artists; relations between individual and community, between the subject and objective reality; and many other similar issues.1 No doubt, with the advent of highly sophisticated and challenging notions such as Formalism2 and the death of the author,3 it is hard to conceive the figure of the artist without paying attention to the interrelations between art and life in which the ideal and reality, subject and object, constitute sharp contrasts. Traditionally, this dialectical relationship forms “binary 1 Csilla Bertha, “Visual Art and Artist in Contemporary Irish Drama”, Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies (HJEAS) v. 15, no. 2 (Fall 2009): 347. 2 Formalism is a Russian literary movement which originated in the second decade of the twentieth century. Its leading figures were both linguists and literary historians such as Boris Eikhenbaum (1886-1959), Roman Jakobson (1895-1982), Viktor Shklovsky (1893-1984), Boris Tomashevskij (1890-1957) and Jurij Tynjanov (1894-1943).

    Subverted PD List | About Term Extension | Constitutionality | Media | Letters | Value of the Public Domain | Congress | Statutes and Treaties | Legislative Materials | | Other Sites | Opposing Copyright Extension Home Page | Some Famous Works and Year of First Publication (Subverted Public Domain List) Dennis S. Karjala Professor of Law Arizona State University This list shows a few works of music, literature, and film that, as far as I can tell, were first published in the years shown. The "Subverted Public Domain" begins with the year 1923. Works published in that year would already be in the public domain but are still protected by the legislative swindle known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998. Any United States work published before 1964 lost its copyright in the 28th year after publication unless the copyright was formally renewed at the Copyright Office. (Congress made renewal automatic for works published after 1963, so most of those works are, and for a very long time will be, under copyright.) To check on the copyright status of works from the 1923-63 era, it is therefore necessary to determine whether the copyright was renewed. See How to Determine Whether a Work is in the Public Domain, and links contained there, for more details. Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden was published in 1911, so it went into the public domain on Jan. 1, 1987. Its entrance into the public domain has spawned a huge outpouring of new and creative derivative works, including plays, musicals, video and audio cassettes, annotated and searchable online versions, and even cookbooks.

  • Writing Figures of Political Resistance for the British Stage Vol1.Pdf
    Writing Figures of Political Resistance for the British Stage Volume One (of Two) Matthew John Midgley PhD University of York Theatre, Film and Television September 2015 Writing Figures of Resistance for the British Stage Abstract This thesis explores the process of writing figures of political resistance for the British stage prior to and during the neoliberal era (1980 to the present). The work of established political playwrights is examined in relation to the socio-political context in which it was produced, providing insights into the challenges playwrights have faced in creating characters who effectively resist the status quo. These challenges are contextualised by Britain’s imperial history and the UK’s ongoing participation in newer forms of imperialism, the pressures of neoliberalism on the arts, and widespread political disengagement. These insights inform reflexive analysis of my own playwriting. Chapter One provides an account of the changing strategies and dramaturgy of oppositional playwriting from 1956 to the present, considering the strengths of different approaches to creating figures of political resistance and my response to them. Three models of resistance are considered in Chapter Two: that of the individual, the collective, and documentary resistance. Each model provides a framework through which to analyse figures of resistance in plays and evaluate the strategies of established playwrights in negotiating creative challenges. These models are developed through subsequent chapters focussed upon the subjects tackled in my plays. Chapter Three looks at climate change and plays responding to it in reflecting upon my creative process in The Ends. Chapter Four explores resistance to the Iraq War, my own military experience and the challenge of writing autobiographically.
