"Thyestes" Lucjusza Anneusza Seneki. Opracowanie monograficzne
Iwona Słomak
Seria: Biblioteka Pisarzy Antycznych (4), ISSN 2956-7459 Thyestes, któremu poświęcona jest niniejsza monografia, posiada wszystkie cechy Senecjańskich sztuk decydujące o wielowiekowym zainteresowaniu nimi ze strony badaczy i miłośników literatury. Odpowiadają one też za odmienność twórczości autora na tle tragedii greckiej - ze względu na filozoficzno-krytyczny charakter dzieła, zerwanie z bezpośrednio dydaktyzującym tonem na rzecz prowokacji i ironii, potencjał angażowania w mniejszym stopniu emocji, a w większym intelektu odbiorcy. Znajdujemy tu również przykłady charakterystycznych dla Seneki rozwiązań semantyczno-formalnych, które potwierdzają dynamiczny rozwój gatunku w starożytności i skądinąd mogą dziś sprawiać wrażenie mocno nowoczesnych.
Tian Han. U źródeł nowego teatru chińskiego
Lidia Kasarełło
Udając się dzisiaj do teatru w Chinach, mamy do wyboru różne style, gatunki i sztuki różnych autorów. Możemy poddać się urokowi opery pekińskiej, kantońskiej lub jeszcze innej tradycyjnej formie widowiska muzycznego. Możemy jednak wybrać się do teatru, w którym nic oprócz języka nas nie zdziwi, do teatru nowoczesnego zarówno pod względem dramatopisarskim jak i inscenizacyjnym. Proces przejmowania i twórczego adaptowania na gruncie chińskim nowych wzorów teatralnych wiąże się bezpośrednio z Tian Hanem, którego powszechnie, w Chinach i za granicą, uważa się za "ojca nowoczesnego teatru chińskiego". Dlatego też on właśnie jest główną postacią w tej książce.
