2012 1 The UNIMA Research Commission THE UNIMA DIRECTORY OF PUPPET THEATRE RESEARCHERS By Ida Hledíková PhD 2012 2 INTRODUCTION UNIMA Research Commission proposes you a new version of “Directory of Puppet Theatre Researchers”. Our version is in fact a continuation of work elaborated by our predecessors – members of previous Research Commissions of UNIMA. The first edition of the “Directory” was published in Warsaw in 1991. In this innovated version are published those researchers from the previous issues who answered us and it also presents the new names of researchers and theorist of puppet theatre from all over the world. This contemporary index is supplemented by new persons and includes 183 names. According to the bibliographies it is obvious, that most of them respond to our appeals. Not starred are entries of those individuals who were in personal contact with us or those the information on whom was sent by UNIMA National Centres. In an introduction of one of the previous editions the former President of Research Commission Edi Majaron wrote, that this way of publication seemed to be oldfashioned in the world of new communication technologies. On one hand he was right, but on the other hand, thanks to those “oldfashioned” Directories we could continue. In all these documents including this newest version from 2012 year are chronicled researchers and their works. When comparing the first (1991) and the last version (2012) of the Directory we can see how many people dedicated their research to writing on puppetry since then. The researchers and their works have become at the same time a part of puppetry, a part of its history. They all create a cultural heritage. That is why we can consider all mentioned UNIMA directories of puppetry researchers a part of UNIMA memory. That is why such work as this one is also meaningful in the modern Information Society. Information on human sources and results of their research in a form of our Directory is a good aid for all who want to find researchers in different parts of the world and be informed about topics of their research. It is useful not only for reseachers but for everybody who is interested in puppets, puppet theatre, its origin, history and dramaturgy. Those are students, dramaturges, directors, various creators, amateurs, but also employees of libraries, museums and others professional workplaces as well. Many colleagues and UNIMA National Centres from different parts of the world have participated on this task. I would like to thank all of you who helped us update this issue not forgetting the Presidents and members of the last UNIMA Research Commissions, who worked on previous printed as well as electronic issues H.
