Filosofické aspekty Estetiky performativity Eriky Fischer-Lichte
No full textV tomto článku formuluji filosoficky orientovaný příspěvek k diskuzi nad stěžejním dílem německé teatroložky Eriky Fischer-Lichte Estetika performativity. Zaměřuji se na způsob, jakým se Fischer-Lichte odvolává na filosofické koncepce (zejména fenomenologii, poststrukturalismus a filosofii hry) při své interpretaci performančního umění a jeho estetiky. Ačkoli Fischer-Lichte tvrdí, že postupuje v tradici post-strukturalismu a odvolává se na Judith Butler, aby se jí podařilo dekonstruovat novověký dualismus, svými východisky a argumentačním postupem to popírá. Její blízkost k Judith Butler se tak stává pouze proklamativní. Klíčový úhybný manévr provede Fischer-Lichte ve chvíli, kdy se rozhodne operovat s performativitou na poli estetiky, kterou odlišuje od každodenní performance člověka ve světě. Obdobný úkrok lze u Fischer-Lichte vystopovat i v rámci interpretace tělesnosti (Leib – Körper) a ve výkladu fenoménu hry. Své pojetí performančního umění nakonec opírá o avantgardní principy a její reflexe paradoxně potvrdí novověký dualismus v jeho převrácené podobě.In this article I am offering a philosophical perspective within the discussion of a seminal work by German theatre scholar Erika Fischer-Lichte, The Transformative Power of Performance. I am looking at how Fischer-Lichte applies philosophical concepts (such as phenomenology, post-structuralism and game philosophy), whilst interpreting performance art and its aesthetics. Although Fischer-Lichte claims that she relies on poststructural tradition, mainly on Judith Butler, in deconstructing modern dualism, her line of argumentation and key points contradict this. Thus, the parallels with Judith Butler are only declarative. The distance between the two scholars is especially notable when Fischer-Lichte uses the term "performativity" within the field of aesthetics, which she distinguishes from every-day human performance. In a similar manner, Fischer-Lichte interprets the term "corporeality" (Leib – Körper) and the phenomenon of play. Her understanding of the performing arts rests upon avantgarde principles, and her reflections, paradoxically, support modern dualism in its inverted form
Performativität zwischen Zitation und Ereignis : Vergleich der Performativitätsbegriffe von Judith Butler und Erika Fischer-Lichte
No full textDie vorliegende Magisterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Performativitätsbegriffen der Philosophin und Geschlechterforscherin Judith Butler und der Theaterwissenschaftlerin Erika Fischer-Lichte. Während Butler den Performativitätsbegriff für wiederholende und damit normierende Handlungen im Bereich der Körper-, Geschlechts- und Identitätskonstruktion verwendet, charakterisiert Fischer-Lichte mit dem Adjektiv performativ einmalige und ereignishafte (Theater-)Aufführungen. Beide Theorien werden gesondert dargestellt, analysiert und in einem weiteren Schritt verglichen. Unterschiede, die sich aufgrund der verschiedenen Disziplinen und Zielsetzungen sowie der unterschiedlichen Rezeption John L. Austins ergeben, werden beleuchtet. Fischer-Lichtes Theorie betont die Erfahrungsdimension der Akteure in Aufführungen, im Gegensatz dazu nimmt Butler eine herstellungsorientierte Sichtweise auf (Gender-)Performances ein. Zusätzlich zu den Differenzen der Begriffsbedeutung und -verwendung werden Gemeinsamkeiten herausgearbeitet, die den Performativitätsbegriff mit Materialität und Körperlichkeit in Verbindung bringen sowie Prozesshaftigkeit, Handlungsmacht und die Möglichkeit von Veränderung betreffen
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Michel Foucault and Judith Butler: troubling Butler's appropriation of Foucault's work
No full textOne of the main influences on Judith Butler‘s thinking has been the work of Michel Foucault. Although this relationship is often commented on, it is rarely discussed in any detail. My thesis makes a contribution in this area. It presents an analysis of Foucault‘s work with the aim of countering Butler‘s representation of his thinking. In the first part of the thesis, I show how Butler initially interprets Foucault‘s project through Nietzschean genealogy, psychoanalysis and Derridean discourse, and how she later develops this interpretation in line with the progress of her own project. In the main part of the thesis, I present an analysis of Foucault‘s thinking in the period from The Archaeology of Knowledge (1969) to The History of Sexuality volume 1 (1976). This analysis focuses on the aspect of his work which has most influenced Butler‘s thinking: namely the notion of a relationship between knowledge, discourse and power. The other issues in his work which Butler addresses—genealogy, the subject, the body, abnormality, and sexuality—are discussed within this framework. I show how, in the early 1970s, Foucault develops the notion of power-knowledge, and sets out a relationship between power-knowledge and discourse which is overlooked by Butler. I argue that Butler interprets Foucaultian power through the notions of repression and social norms, and ignores the concepts of technology and strategy which form a key part of Foucault‘s thinking. I show how, from The Archaeology of Knowledge on, Foucault develops a socio-historical ontology and a genealogy of the subject, both of which are at variance with Butler‘s interpretation of his thinking
