    Anette Storli Andersen

    THE YOUNG IBSEN’S THEATRE AESTHETICS – A THEATRE OF THE OLD, FREE AND MOUNTAINOUS NORTH Anette Storli Andersen Ibsen’s dramas are today world dramas – not primarily as literature or printed books, but as theatre – on stage. The main point of this article is to show two historical examples for how theatre has functioned as a community building institution and to underline the fact that before Ibsen, drama as theatre had played an important part in the making of a common world among Norwegian citizens. I will also suggest how the young Ibsen profited from these established theatre traditions during his practical theatre career – before he dissociated himself from Norwegian theatre and the Norwegian national character in 1864. This means that I disagree with Benedict Anderson (1991, 44) when he argues that the development of printed national languages laid the basis for national consciousness and accordingly also for the modern nation state. When Ibsen and his contemporaries were fighting for a Norwegian theatre and theatre aesthetics in the 1850s and early 1860s, a written Norwegian language, which was distinctly different from written Danish, did not exist. The literary market was marginal compared to the market for theatre performances. Thus, theatre was the most important institution for strengthening the national consciousness. This position is underlined by Ibsen’s artistic career: Until the early 1860s, Ibsen got most of his income from the theatre and his dramas were first performed on stage and then printed later on – if printed at all. When the Norwegian constitution was made in 1814, the written language was Danish.

In undertaking this task, I propose an analogy comparing Al Gore, an environmental activist, to a crisis manager in an organization. The focus of this study will be the ways in which Gore creates a sense of urgency while also mobilizing his audience to action. Combining the application of an organizational communication perspective, enacted sensemaking, with rhetorical analysis, this study seeks to build climate crisis communication theory. Traditional crisis management literature tends to limit analysis to the strategies used by managers to re-actively frame an organizational crisis.
  • Robert Wilson's Staging of Peer Gynt and the Norwegian Tradition

    Robert Wilson's Staging of Peer Gynt and the Norwegian Tradition

    ROBERT WILSON’S STAGING OF PEER GYNT AND THE NORWEGIAN TRADITION Keld Hyldig The Norwegian Ibsen Tradition The notion of an “Ibsen tradition” in Norwegian theatre basically designates the continuous presentation of new productions of Ibsen’s plays, and, as an essential part of that, the development and maintaining of a psychological realist way of acting. The tradition, however, not only consists in a certain Ibsenian performing style, it also comprises reception of performances. Thus the tradition encompasses practitioners and spectators in a continuous historical process of ‘negotiations’ between conventional and non- conventional modes of expression and reception. The psychological realistic acting evolved step by step from the 1880s among Norwegian actors and actresses through their work with Ibsen roles. In the first decades of the twentieth century this was established as a general ensemble style, to begin with at The National Theatre (Nationaltheatret) in Kristiania/Oslo. This psychological realistic acting style – which can be denoted “the Ibsen Tradition” – constitutes a dominating feature of Norwegian theatre throughout the twentieth century. Of course there have been breaches from this realistic tradition, for example in the 1920s and 1930s with productions inspired by modernist trends in European theatre. And again from the 1970s and onwards till today’s theatre increasing tendencies towards new modes of theatrical expressions can be observed in Norwegian theatre. The Ibsen tradition in Norwegian theatre is so comprehensive that the performance histories of some of the most famous plays can be seen as 1 individual lines of tradition. This counts especially for the performance history of Peer Gynt following an own line of development characterized by national romantic motives.

CENTRE FOR IBSEN STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF OSLO November, 2013 ABSTRACT The use of Ibsen dramas in training theatre professionals in most cultures cannot be overlooked due to the nature, and impact of Ibsen’s works on contemporary societies and his contribution to the development of modern drama. This thesis studies the educational use of Ibsen dramas in Ghanaian theatre institutions and considers ways in which Ibsen dramas could be promoted to Ghanaian audiences. With a blend of European, American and African theories coupled with interviews of key educators and analysis of themes in Ibsen dramas the research reviews the colonial roots of Ghana’s educational system to examine how Ibsen has and is being taught in Ghana. Observing that Ibsen does not move outside the academic institutions, the research further proposes ways in which Ibsen dramas can be adapted for Ghanaian audiences by examining a Nigerian adaptation of A Doll’s House, and indigenous Ghanaian performance forms of storytelling and concert party theatre. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I owe the success of this work to many people. First and foremost I wish to express my sincere gratitude to God Almighty for his protection and guidance throughout my stay in Oslo, Norway. To Julie Holledge, my supervisor, I say a big thank you for all the invaluable advice and encouragement.
