A Doll's House Is a Manifesto of Universal Feminism
IRWLE VOL. 11 No. I January 2015 1 Re-interpreting A Doll’s House through Post-modernist Feminist Projections Md. Amir Hossain For long centuries, women in the traditional social order and system have always been considered subservient to men. In patriarchal Bourgeois society, the matriarchal community has been "humiliated", "afflicted", "silenced" and "tortured" socially, politically, culturally and economically. With the post-modernizing age, women began to see the universe with their own eyes and not through the male gaze. In this paper, I want to focus on the powerful woman character, Nora Helmer as impacted on Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Through this adventurous and revolutionary woman, my purpose is to reach the feministic message out to the post-modern generations. It aims to depict and examine critically feministic issues through portraying Nora Helmer who is the representative of not only the 19th century Scandinavian Bourgeois order and custom but also the universal feminism. She has raised a fiery voice or initiated a dreadful revolution against the traditional customs and gender discrimination with a view to equalizing human rights. In the play, the dramatist has prioritized the female domination and power more than the male pelf and rule. The aim of the playwright is to emphasize upon the female power with a view to repressing the male domination and tradition. Actually, the purpose of my paper is to focus on the feminist message as articulated in Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Considering the femme fatale character of Ibsen, the most renowned and powerful playwright, also known as the father figure of the post-modern era writing in Norwegian language, especially the powerful and domineering female protagonist cum heroine, Nora Helmer.

“Theatre Phenomenology” and Ibsen's the Master Builder
NORDIC THEATRE STUDIES Vol. 31, No. 1. 2019, 124-140 “Theatre Phenomenology” and Ibsen’s The Master Builder DANIEL JOHNSTON ABSTRACT How might an actor find inspiration from philosophy to build a world on stage? This article examines how phenomenology can offer a framework for creating performance and a vocabulary for action in rehearsal. Taking Henrik Ibsen’s The Master Builder as a case-study, a number of exercises and approaches are suggested for exploring the text while drawing on Martin Heidegger’s lecture, “Building, Dwelling, Thinking” which ponders the nature of “building”. Far from merely “constructing” an environment, essentially, building is “dwelling”. As the characters in Ibsen’s drama go about their dwelling, actors must build a world by bridging the gap between the stage, the ensemble, and the audience. KEYWORDS Phenomenology, Ibsen, The Master Builder, Heidegger, Building, Dwelling, Thinking, The Fourfold, Being, Rehearsal ISSN 2002-3898 © Daniel Johnston and Nordic Theatre Studies PEER REVIEWED ARTICLE Open access: https://tidsskrift.dk/nts/index Published with support from Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOP-HS) DOI: 10.7146/nts.v31i1.113005 Nordic Theatre Studies “Theatre Phenomenology” and Ibsen’s The Master Builder Introduction What does it mean to build a world? Humans do it in their everyday activities and interactions with others. Actors build a world in a different way. This article examines how one of continental philosophy’s most significant movements— phenomenology—can examine the meaning of “world” and provide a fertile source of inspiration for creative practice. Theatres are uniquely located at the intersection of multiple worlds—both real and imagined—of actors, characters, and audiences.1 This connection permits the theatrical event to explore what it means to make a world in a fictional context while also paying attention to the social context of the performance.

Research Article Introduction Henrik Ibsen Presents 19
December 2019 e-ISSN: 1857-8187 p-ISSN: 1857-8179 Research Article Literature EMPOWERMENT, EROTIC PASSION, AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN Keywords: Empowerment, Erotic Passion and Love, Henrik Ibsen, Louka, Rebecca West, IBSEN’S ‘ROSMERSHOLM’ and Sexual Harassment. Amir Mohammad Hossain M. Phil in English JU & PhD (Research Fellow) in English, JU, Bangladesh. Abstract This article would like to present a critical analysis on Ibsen’s playRosmersholm and its female protagonist, Rebecca West. For this purpose, the whole article aims to look at empowerment, modern woman, erotic passion and love, sexual harassment through which female character has been investigated. It aims to analyze Ibsen’s treatment of women during 19th-century Norway. It would like to make also a comparative study between Rebecca West and Louka with a view to fostering Ibsen’s and Shaw’s attitudes towards women of their contemporary age. In this way the aim of the researcher is to highlight the mystery of lower class women of a helpless society where they have no right, freedom and say. Introduction Henrik Ibsen presents 19th-century Norwegian middle class women status and social reality in the play Rosmersholm. The playwright would like to place a vivid picture of radicalization of the Norwegian society to make the case of its protagonist’s apostasy appear to be faithful. Through the art of characterization, he would like to present the political system of 19th- century conservatives and liberals in Norway. Ibsen wants to highlight the charismatic power through the social pressure which is governed by social system. In terms of his feminist creation, Rebecca is a glaring example of a charismatic power.

“Homes for Human Beings” — a Spatial Reading of Ibsen’S the Master Builder
“Homes for human beings” — A spatial reading of Ibsen’s The Master Builder By Marinette Grimbeek Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MPhil in Ibsen Studies Senter for Ibsen-studier Universitetet i Oslo Mai 2007 Acknowledgements First and foremost, my two years of study at the Centre for Ibsen Studies would not have been possible without the scholarship I received from Statens Lånekassen under the auspices of the Quota Scheme. Secondly, I want to thank all the staff at the Centre for Ibsen Studies, not only the various lecturers, but also the administrative personnel and the librarians. A special word of gratitude should also go to Frode Helland, my supervisor, who has shown immense patience with my somewhat haphazard working methods. Lastly, I would like to thank my family, especially my sister and parents, for many reasons, which I will not even attempt to list. Naming friends who have been there for me in various ways will be lengthy, and possibly unfair, as I am bound to overlook someone. However, a small exception would have to be made for two people – thanks for everything, Martin and Jens.

Developing a concept for Little Eyolf 3.1 Ibsen and nature 3.2 Representation of nature in a theatre space 3.3 ‘Intermedial’ approach 3.4. Multiple perspectives Conclusion Bibliography Introduction In my worK as theatre designer I have often merged film and video in designs for live- performances. In my stage images, I have explored how cinematic principles and the conventions of theatre can interact. This thesis is a report on the research at Piet Zwart Institute, which formed the basis of my last three set designs. For each of the designs, I will elaborate how my engagement with film as a medium has influenced my worK as a theatre designer. Each project reflects on the nature of the frame and the cinema screen, merging their properties with the perspectives of theatrical space. All these projects approached the presence of the screen differently. Firstly, a production of Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party (directed by Susanne Kennedy) creates the illusion of a screen by putting the actors inside a framed rectangular box within a greater, darKened space, liKe people moving inside a television screen.

Networks, Asymmetries and Appropriations: Towards a Typology 1
Networks, Asymmetries and Appropriations: Towards a Typology 1 Professor Narve Fulsås Institutt for arkeologi, historie, religionsvitskap og teologi (AHR) Universitetet i Tromsø – Norges arktiske universitet 9037 Tromsø [email protected] Professor Tore Rem Institutt for litteratur, områdestudier og europeiske språk (ILOS) Universitetet i Oslo Postboks 1003 Blindern 0315 OSLO [email protected] 1 This article, a revised version of Tore Rem’s keynote lecture at the XIVth International Ibsen Conference in Skien on 5–8 September 2018, draws on pp. 140-174 in Narve Fulsås and Tore Rem, Ibsen, Scandinavia and the Making of a World Drama (Cambridge: Cambridge U.P., 2018). This version expands on the theoretical- analytical framework of our suggested typology, and furthermore adds comparative material on other Scandinavian authors. 1 When Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and Henrik Ibsen first tried to make their way into literary and theatrical markets beyond Scandinavia in the 1860s, they had no well-trodden paths to follow and few experiences from which to learn. Norwegian literature was in its initial stages of development and unknown to the rest of the world. The early European efforts by this generation of authors were full of failures, disappointments, and new beginnings. Just three decades later, however, things had changed completely. In Germany, Knut Hamsun was a major reason why Albert Langen started up as a publisher in 1893, after Hamsun’s first publisher Samuel Fischer had turned down the Norwegian novelist’s Mysteries. Langen moved his business to Munich in 1895 and went for contemporary Scandinavian and French writers. In 1896 he married Bjørnson’s daughter Dagny, whose sister Bergliot was married to Henrik Ibsen’s son Sigurd.

Ibsen and Tragedy: a Study in Lykke
Ibsen and Tragedy: A Study in Lykke Anne-Marie Victoria Stanton-Ife University College London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 31 March 2003 1 Abstract This thesis traces Ibsen's development as a writer of tragedy through lykke. contingency and happiness. Chapter I explains why notions of chance and happiness are so central to tragedy, and shows how the interests of tragedy and ethics converge in these concepts. Aristotle's arguments in the Poetics for the secularisation of tragedy are examined, along with basic ethical and tragic categories of eudaimonia (happiness) and tuche (luck). The case is then made for seeing Norwegian lykke as a concept straddling both these notions. This leads to the argument that Ibsen performs an analogous secularising gesture on his own tragedies, which explains the development from an excessive reliance on external agencies in his historical tragedies to the highly sophisticated accounts of lykke in later works. Chapter II presents the early historical tragedies from Catilina to Kejser og GaiJlceer, dramas written in 'high tragic' mode, dependent on notions of fate and other forces hostile to human happiness. Chapter ill argues that with Brand, Ibsen turns away from manifestations of contingency, and is more concerned with human agency. Here the spiritual discipline of the hero, not contingency, is pitted against happiness, and the move towards secularisation is discernible. Chapters IV, V and VI focus on Ibsen's realist tragedies Et Dukkehjem, Gengangere and Rosmersholm, secularised tragedies par excellence. Through their explorations of happiness, they participate in philosophical debates such as the affirmation of the ordinary life and utilitarianism.

The Post-Oedipal Father and the Master Builder Magdalen Wing-Chi Ki
Spring 2010 9 The Post-Oedipal Father and The Master Builder Magdalen Wing-chi Ki Instead of focusing on Henrik Ibsen’s deployment of symbols and Scandinavian folklore in The Master Builder,1 this essay argues that the play foregrounds the rise and fall of the post-oedipal father. If Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer relate the rise of the enlightened father to the dialectic of myth and reason, Ibsen problematizes the fall of the post-oedipal father due to the dialectic of the Imaginary troll-self, the Symbolic discourse of reason, and the Real symptom of (self-)love. In turn, The Master Builder unveils the clash between the old and new fathers, and reveals how the new father engages fresh with myths and reason, only to unleash a symptomatic force in the drive that welcomes aberrational self-destruction. Solness becomes a troll-man, and his decision strongly influences others’ lives, for the living-dead wife, the performative fiancée, and the bird-woman can no longer anchor themselves in the past, or in any rational discourse that guarantees stable identities or social values. Eventually, all these characters are left to “enjoy” their symptoms. When asked to comment on the play, Ibsen refused to depreciate his characters; instead he asked, “was it so mad” for a person to undertake an action that cost “him his life, if he did it for his own happiness and only then, for the first time, achieved it?”2 The Master Builder demonstrates Ibsen’s new understanding of humanity, for happiness no longer implies the pursuit of mythic ideals or reason, but a stubborn attachment to the symptom in the drive.
