“Almost Invisible Until Now” Antigone, Ismene, and the Dramaturgy of Tragedy
NORDIC THEATRE STUDIES Vol. 31, No. 1. 2019, 141-154 “almost invisible until now” Antigone, Ismene, and the Dramaturgy of Tragedy KRISTINA HAGSTRÖM-STÅHL ABSTRACT This essay discusses Sophocles’ Antigone in relation to its Hegelian legacy, engaging with the play from a directorial perspective. Drawing on the work of Judith Butler, Anne Carson , Bonnie Honig, Peggy Phelan and Cecilia Sjöholm, I attempt to envision a contemporary mise en scène that repositions feminine subjectivity within the dramaturgy of tragedy. Centering on the relationship between Antigone and Ismene, as well as on the possibility of revaluing Ismene’s position in terms of political and dramaturgical agency, I hope to challenge dramaturgical conventions that assume binary, heteronormative relations as the primary framework of interpretation for female characters, and death and destruction as the only possible outcome for what is positioned as feminine. This resituated reading of the drama examines the function of embodied performance in processes of meaning-making, and offers dramaturgical structure as a site for strategies of resistance.

Reconsidering Brechtian Elements in Process Drama1
Ankara University, Journal of Faculty of Educational Sciences, Year: 2015, Vol: 48, No: 2, 19-36 Reconsidering Brechtian Elements in Process Drama1 Özgehan UŞTUK, MA Balıkesir University [email protected] ABSTRACT. It is known that process drama is parallel to non-Aristotelian structure of Brecht’s epic theatre in certain ways. Techniques and structure as the elements of these two notions (O’Neill’s process drama and Brecht’s epic theatre) resemble to each other not only by the usage and also by the relationship between the process and the participants as well. Brecht intended to engage actively with the audience and makes them engage with the play critically; similarly in process drama structures, participants are actively engaged with the material and the theme of the work. Moreover, in process drama, participants are assigned as meaning-makers throughout the process since they actively shouldered the role of writer, director, actor/actress and the audience. This quality lets them engage with the process in ways that are not only aesthetic but also critical and purposeful. Thus, there are also some elements that Brechtian plays and O'Neill's structures may share but they are included with different intentions. Taking all the similarities and differences that can be referred from texts into consideration, it can be suggested that further discussion is needed to reveal the dichotomy. This paper intends to build a direct link between drama in education and theatre and to explain this link from a structural point of view by comparing and contrasting examples from plays of Brecht and process drama sessions of O'Neill. -

To overcome this challenge, we use data from professional soccer, where employees of the same club face different external career opportunities de- pending on their nationality. We test whether the career prospect of being selected to a Euro Cup national team affects players' pre-Cup performances, using nationals of countries that did not participate in the Euro Cup as a control group. We find that the Euro Cup career prospect has positive effects on the performances of play- ers with intermediate chances of being selected to their national team, but negative effects on the performances of players whose selection is very probable. -

The Poetics of the Tragic in Tony Kushner's <I>Angels in America</I>
The Journal of American Drama and Theatre (JADT) https://jadt.commons.gc.cuny.edu The Poetics of the Tragic in Tony Kushner’s Angels in America by Julia Rössler The Journal of American Drama and Theatre Volume 31, Number 2 (Winter 2019) ISNN 2376-4236 ©2019 by Martin E. Segal Theatre Center The art of playwriting is not fundamentally a narrative art like novel writing; it is dialogic, it proceeds from contradiction, not cause and effect. -Tony Kushner, “Notes About Political Theater”[1] Since the post-war period, American drama and theatre has been shaped by a strong political consciousness: the Theater of the Ridiculous, queer and gay drama, and the growing public presence of Latin-American and African-American playwrights during the 1960s to 1980s reflect a thematic and aesthetic diversification of American drama that is unparalleled in its history. Some scholars relate new formal developments to the impact of postmodernism as the prime characteristic of a distinctly contemporary American drama and theatre.[2] Moreover, it shows a growing interest among dramatists to establish drama and theatre as a site for critical self-reflection and public debate in which “socio-political goals of challenging hegemonic political representations and presenting identities outside the established social ideal of how Americans ‘should be’” are a central function.[3] In the early 1990s, Tony Kushner, for instance, has received much critical attention for his landmark play Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes (1992) in which he documents multiple ills of US-American society, culture, and politics during Ronald Reagan’s presidency in the 1980s.
