Question Answer
identity counterpart views? etymology: Latin idem = same identitas = quality of being identical "finding your true identity", "losing your identity", "a split identity", " a stable identity", "identity fraud", "identity theft", "identity crisis" vs. identity as a project, identity as constantly in change, identity as constructed, identity as performed (identity in context of situation (eg. Teacher-student; shopper-shop assistant...)
identity factors (open list) race class gender nation sexuality ability (50 yrs. Ago term wouldn't have been on this list- disability studies have 'just' started) age religion (lifestyle)
How is identity produced? identities are produced in relationship (if alone on lonely island, not much of a identity)
identity as performance + 4 characterstics of identity • identity is partly controllable (people often make choices of how they behave in relationships; eg. If you think about what to wear before leaving the house, ...but some things you can't control: size, 'race', ability...) • identity is constructed through behaviour and props = performance (props eg. smartphones, make up, brands,...) • performance is also shaped by people and places • identity does not determine what people do, but is a product of what people do.
Erving Goffman, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. 1959 (,,Wir spielen alle Theater'') Any social interactions could be regarded as a scene with masks/props/actors. (theater play) dramaturgical analysis to face to face communication he observed face to face communication and then pretended it was a play (observations just the same as if observing a play) --> very revolutionary
Judith Butler. Gender Trouble. Feminism and the Subversion of Identity. 1990. She critizes Freud: ''All gender is performance'', is what she says. The gender identity is not inborn. It doesn't determine your behavior. A stable gender is an illusion. We only get a performance. She doesn't say that people are doing the performance on purpose. It's the society, and the thing being passed on from one generation to the nect.
Butler on gender as performance gender is "a stylized repetition of acts. The effect of gender is produced through the stylization of the body, and, hence must be understood as the mundane way in which bodily gestures, movements, and styles of various kinds constitute the illusion of an abiding gendered self." (Butler, 1990: 140-1) A fixed stable gender is an illusion, what we get instead is a performance.
Drama • theatre studies vs literary studies (-theatre studies: whole varietyverbal, visual, auditive channels (multimedial) -literary studies: only text) • usually written for performance • stage: huge difference to text because you only have one stage --> limitations • actors and actresses • audience • theatre semiotics: looks at signs we find during performance: sounds, color, light, props, pieces of text • text as script, as something to work with, as a potential (it's not complete like a poem eg.)
Characterisation in Drama
Drama: Text types in a play? Mediation in drama? Epic theatre? Alienation effects? • Text types in a play: stage directions, dialogues, monologues, prose pieces • Mediation in drama (characters talking to each other+comments that help us whats going on eg.Epic theatre has narrator • Berthold Brecht stands for epic theatre: used to distance the audience from the illusion from actually seeing sth happening Brecht wanted to make the people think about the play to make the audience aware of the fact that what they're watching is not real. • Alienation effects: ('Do you really think that what you're seeing is true?') Whenever you have narrator on stage, narrator can comment, also ask questions in order to make them think about the fact that what they're seeing is constructed. • docudrama
quarto folio folio: piece of paper that was folded once was called folio (4 pages); larger formats- used for the complete works first folio edition was published only after his death quarto: piece of paper (folio) was folded again, cut pages, then smaller version with 8 pages -were used for individual plays
bad/foul quarto vs. good quarto when eg. Theater director went to play and scribbled down everything ( no copyright in 17th c. Of course), because he didn't want to pay for it. Then they forget sth, etc.
Reading Shakespeare -he was writing for money -texts changed a lot, because of 'mistakes' in the performance 'original shakespeare texts' are a bit different from each other
