Esta tese se propõe a investigar as potencialidades estéticas e críticas vinculadas à presença dos atores do cotidiano no âmbito das artes cênicas contemporâneas, com recorte em criações produzidas no Brasil e na Europa neste início de século XXI. O termo compreende pessoas que não necessariamente possuem formação artística e são convidadas a participar de uma criação a partir de uma perspectiva autorreferencial. Parte-se da hipótese de que a incorporação dos atores do cotidiano colabora para alterar o próprio \"regime de visibilidade\" (RANCIÈRE, 2009) dos corpos e subjetividades no âmbito das artes cênicas, ao ampliar as possibilidades sobre quem pode atuar no teatro e na dança. A partir do diálogo com os conceitos de teatros do real (SAISON, 1998; FERNANDES, 2010; MARTIN, 2013), teatralidade expandida (DIÉGUEZ, 2014; SÁNCHEZ, 2015) e teatralidade do público (CORNAGO, 2015), a pesquisa centra-se na análise da trajetória e de obras específicas de artistas da cena contemporânea que se destacam pelo trabalho com os atores do cotidiano, como o diretor francês Jérôme Bel, a brasileira Cia. Hiato, o coletivo suíço-alemão Rimini Protokoll e o diretor catalão Roger Bernat. A partir dessa análise, são traçadas algumas potencialidades vinculadas aos trabalhos, com destaque para a subversão de tradicionais códigos cênicos da representação, a intensificação da partilha de experiências com o espectador, a aproximação das artes cênicas com os campos da realidade e do cotidiano, a problematização de questões relativas à alteridade, a irrupção de uma teatralidade do coletivo, a projeção de espelhamentos com o público e sua participação na obra e, finalmente, o diálogo com o contexto onde o espetáculo acontece. Esse tipo de participação reflete um modo específico de expansão de linguagem do teatro e da dança. E mostra como a presença dos atores do cotidiano colabora para transformar as \"maneiras de fazer\" e os \"modos de pensabilidade\" (RANCIÈRE, 2009) das artes cênicas contemporâneas. / This thesis aims to investigate the aesthetic and critic potentialities related to the presence of the actors of everyday life in the context of contemporary performing arts, addressing creations produced in Brazil and Europe at the beginning of 21st century. The term includes people who do not necessarily have artistic training and are invited to take part in current creations from a self-referential perspective. We start from the hypothesis that the incorporation of actors of everyday life collaborate to change the \"regime of visibility\" (RANCIÈRE, 2009) of bodies and subjectivities in the context of performing arts, by broadening the possibilities about who acts in theatre and dance. From the dialogue with the concepts of theatres of the real (SAISON, 1998; FERNANDES, 2010; MARTIN, 2013), expanded theatricality (DIÉGUEZ, 2014; SÁNCHEZ, 2015), and audience theatricality (CORNAGO, 2015), this research focuses on the analysis of the trajectory and of specific works of artists from the contemporary scene who stand out by their work with actors of everyday life, such as French director Jérôme Bel, the Brazilian Cia. Hiato, the Swiss-German collective Rimini Protokoll, and Catalan director Roger Bernat. From this analysis, we outline some some potentialities linked to their works, focusing on the subversion of traditional theatrical codes of representation, the intensification of experience sharing with the spectator, the approach of the performing arts with the fields of reality and everyday life, the questioning of issues relating to otherness, the irruption of a theatricality of the collective, the projection of mirrors with the audience and its participation in the work, and, finally, the dialogue with the context in which the spectacle takes place. That kind of participation reflects a specific way with which theatre and dance have been working their language expansion. And it shows how the presence of everyday actors collaborates to transform the \"ways of doing\" and the \"ways of thinking\" (RANCIÈRE, 2009) of the contemporary performing arts.

o objetivo da pesquisa foi realizar uma reflexão crítica sobre o espaço teatral na cidade de São Paulo, pelo viés da Geografia, no período de 1999 a 2004, utilizando como referenciais teóricos Anne Ubersfeld e Milton Santos. O tema foi investigado a partir da hipótese de que a natureza do lugar teatral é ser um agente, uma espécie de mídia definidora do processo teatral, em sua relação com as políticas culturais do período (Lei de Incentivo à Cultura, Lei do Fomento ao Teatro e implantação de salas de teatro nos CEUs), e com os Guias de Teatro da cidade (jornais Folha de São Paulo e o Estado de São Paulo). Foi elaborado um banco de dados com informações acerca desses lugares e da sua relação com os respectivos Guias de Teatro, na cidade de São Paulo, no período de 1999 a 2004. O lugar teatral revelado na cartografia que surgiu das informações desse banco de dados caracterizou-se como múltiplo; fortemente ligado ao distrito central da cidade; com tendência à polarização entre as salas pequenas e grandes; forte ação do teatro de grupo na criação de novos espaços; e propriedade, na sua maioria, privada. A partir destes dados, discutiu-se a ?crise? do edifício teatral e a importância da atividade Teatro se vincular social e culturalmente ao lugar geográfico. Definiu-se, o lugar teatral pela noção de uso - na forma de um território vivido - e não pela arquitetura do edifício que ocupa. / The purpose of this research was to achieve a critical reflection about the theatrical space in São Paulo city by the slant of Geography in the period from 1999 to 2004. This was done using Anne Ubersfeld and Milton Santos as theoretical references. The subject was investigating to start from the hypothesis that the type of theatrical place is to be a agent, a specie of media that does the definition of theatrical process with their regarding to the cultural politics in this period (Cultural Incentive Law, Promotion to the Theatre Law and the theatrical rooms introduction in CEUs) and also with the regarding to the city theatrical guides (Folha de São Paulo and Estado de São Paulo newspapers). A database was preparing with the information concerning those theatrical places and with their regarding to the respective theatrical guides in São Paulo during the period from 1999 to 2004. The showing theatrical place in the cartography and that came up those records made up as multiple, it was strongly connected to the downtown district and it had a polarize tendency between small and big rooms. Those information showed also the strongly action of the theatrical groups in the new spaces raising and the private ownership in the most of those places. Arise from those records we talked about the theatrical building ?crisis? and the importance of the theatrical activities to be linked cultural and socially with the geographic place. We defined the theatrical place by the using basics- such way that a territory experienced in life- and not by it occupy in the building architecture.

L'objectif ici est de repenser la question du politique et du théâtre, en se situant au-delà de la problématique de l'engagement. à partir d'un corpus contemporain incluant «les barbares sont arrivés» de Stasiuk, «invasion!» de Khemiri, les oeuvres de Vinaver et de Crimp, il s'agit de repenser cette question à travers l'angle de l'ironie, en tant qu'élément central d'une conception élargie de la parodie. Cette dernière prendrait alors pour objet non seulement une œuvre ou un genre, mais aussi, et surtout, la cité, à travers les «façons de parler» et les discours qui circulent dans l'espace public. La parodie sera donc considérée comme un travail sur l'énonciation, une décontextualisation et une recontextualisation de l'énonciation, et c'est dans ce sens que l'ironie sera considérée comme son élément central: l'ironie apparaît avec l'écart qui se pose entre le contexte et l'énonciation, avec des mises en contact incongrues entre des éléments jugés inconciliables. elle pose un point de vue détaché et discordant, met en œuvre une déstabilisation propre au comique, interpelle et provoque un travail de réception, engendré par une perte de l'évidence et une remise en question de ce qui « va de soi ». C'est ce geste qui s'avère subversif: L'ironie et la parodie invitent chacun à aller au-delà de ses représentations, à repenser ses certitudes, minent de l'intérieur l'autorité et la stabilité des discours dominants, sans pour autant énoncer des vérités simplificatrices. Elles investissent cette potentialité théâtrale qui rend possible la distance, donnent lieu à une imitation non soumise, décalée, décentrée de la cité, ce qui induit une présence du politique dans ces dramaturgies. / Our purpose is to establish the specificity of recent publications (1990 – 2009) identified as the “theatres of speech”, and based upon a worldwide corpus. These plays shape a new political dimension for theatre through ambiguity, considered as an opening for several interpretations, mutually incompatible. In opposition to the vast majority of political theatre works of the XX century, the authors selected in the present corpus refuse to control the outcome of their work on the reader or audience member, or to orientate his/her interpretation in one direction. Ambiguity, in irony and parody, generally causes two kinds of reception: the naïve one, based upon agreement (approval, belief, or fascination), in a context which makes it discordant, or, on the other side, the critical one. The political dimension of these plays appears in the opportunities given to the reader or audience member to question, all by himself, the kinds of manipulation (such as strategy of speech or narration), their effects, as well as the reception habits which make them efficient. These works can then contribute to reduce the impact of manipulation forms based upon habits of naïve reception; hence reduce the action range of strategies based on a “scheme of domination” (Rancière). However, no certainty exists that such opportunities will be used by the reader or audience member. The new political dimension lies in the fact that its visibility is deliberately connected to the singular encounter between the play and each reader or audience member.

Dès le XVIIIe siècle, l’Opéra de Paris est considéré comme un « établissement public ». Ses missions sont nombreuses. Le théâtre doit proposer traditionnellement aux spectateurs des ouvrages lyriques appartenant à un genre national, mais son rôle est aussi de représenter le pouvoir politique, de servir les relations diplomatiques, ou encore de soutenir un pan de l’artisanat. Le fonctionnement du « service public de l’Opéra » soulève des questions d’ordre public et de gestion. Un encadrement normatif a été mis en place. La police des spectacles a été réformée et adaptée aux singularités de l’établissement : le régime de la censure, la surveillance policière, comme les dispositifs de lutte contre les incendies ont été l’objet de mesures précises. La gestion du théâtre a connu plusieurs bouleversements. Les autorités ont hésité entre un système ambigu de délégation à des entrepreneurs subventionnés et un mode de gestion en régie directe. Ces réformes institutionnelles ont eu des incidences sur la condition juridique des interprètes, comme sur le déroulement des carrières et l’organisation de leur caisse de pensions. Toutes les informations nécessaires à l’élaboration de ce travail ne se trouvent pas dans les règlements. La méthode a été de croiser les sources juridiques avec les archives administratives et les bilans comptables, afin de confronter la marche effective de l’établissement avec le fonctionnement « idéal », imaginé dans les bureaux, loin des difficultés matérielles d’exécution. Cette étude révèle la force normative des usages en matière d'administration, ainsi que le phénomène de détournement des textes par les administrateurs. Ce mode de fonctionnement, souvent ignoré de la bureaucratie, demeure le seul élément de stabilité à l’Opéra, depuis le règne de Louis XIV jusqu’à la IIIe République. / Since the eighteenth century, the Paris Opera has been considered to be a “public service corporation”. Many missions were assigned to the theatre: the Opera should traditionally offer the viewer lyrical opuses in a national genre, but it’s role was also to represent the authorities, serve foreign affairs and support a section of the craft industry. The functioning of the "public service of the Opera” raises questions of public order and management. A legal framework was implemented. The police for the theatres was reformed and adapted to the peculiarities of the activity: censorship, police surveillance and fire fighting arrangements were organized by specific measures. The administration of the Opera underwent several upheavals. The authorities hesitated between an ambiguous system of delegation to subsidized contractors and direct state control (or local government control). These institutional reforms had an impact on the legal status of the artists, on the development of their careers and on the organization of their pension fund. All the information necessary for the development of this work is not to be found in the legal regulations. Our method was to cross the legal sources with administrative records and balance sheets, in order to compare the actual running of the theatre with it’s "ideal" functioning, planned in offices, far from the material difficulties of the actual execution. This study reveals the normative force of customary uses in administration, as well as the phenomenon of diversion of the rules by the administrators and the staff. This mode of functioning, often unknown to the bureaucracy, remains the only element of stability in the Opera, since the reign of Louis XIV until the Third Republic.

À partir des mises en scène de L’Orestie d’Eschyle, d’Œdipe roi de Sophocle et des Bacchantes d’Euripide diffusées dans les institutions nationales en Allemagne, en France et au Royaume-Uni entre 1973 et 2010, la thèse procède à une archéologie du commun, en explorant, d’une part, le concept de commun, et en particulier ses enjeux politiques, à travers une analyse des mises en scène contemporaines du chœur tragique et en étudiant, d’autre part, ces mises en scène à travers l’expression du commun. Ce travail propose donc de mettre au jour la construction et la circulation du discours sur le commun dans et entre ces trois pays. L’analyse des spectacles, d’abord, expose les éléments qui font ou entendent faire du chœur une incarnation du commun et met en perspective ces choix avec la réception de la tragédie grecque. Le discours sur le commun qui se construit ainsi au théâtre est ensuite confronté aux discours philosophiques et anthropologiques du moment mais aussi aux événements économiques, politiques et sociaux afin de faire apparaître les échos, les analogies, les ruptures et les discontinuités. Ainsi, entre 1973 et 1980, la mise en scène du chœur des Bacchantes a donné du commun une représentation utopiste où la communauté est fondée par le rituel. Dès 1980, à partir des Orestie de Peter Stein et Peter Hall qui tiennent lieu de modèles, le chœur devient un collectif où ce que les individus ont en commun est précisément leur singularité. Dans la continuité, jusqu’en 1999, les mises en scène d’Œdipe roi racontent la naissance de l’individu moderne à laquelle le chœur sert de cadre archaïque. Enfin, et malgré les tentatives dans des mises en scène de L’Orestie, au tournant du millénaire, pour refonder la communauté à partir d’une mémoire commune, les tragédies grecques montées dans les années 2000 présentent un désespoir de communautés – au double sens objectif et subjectif de l’expression. Cette archéologie du commun, qui reflète la globalisation à l’œuvre, est donc en creux une archéologie de l’individu. / Analysing productions of Aeschylus’ The Oresteia, Sophocles’ Oedipus the King and Euripides’ The Bacchai in national theatres in France, Germany and the United-Kingdom between 1973 and 2010, this thesis proposes an archaeology of the common (in the sense of « what we have in common ») both exploring the political implications of the concept – thrown into sharp relief by the various ways ancient choruses were staged – and studying the productions themselves through the type of community that they make manifest. This work intends to highlight the construction and the circulation of contemporary discourses about the common within, and between, these three countries. Performance analyses first focus on the elements that make, or intend to make, the chorus into an incarnation of the common and put these choices into perspective through the reception of Greek tragedy. The discourse about the common thus built in theatres, is then confronted with philosophical and anthropological discourses, as well as with economic, political and sociological events in order to call attention to echoes, analogies, disruptions and discontinuities. Thus, between 1973 and 1980, performances of choruses in The Bacchai were built upon rituals, putting forward a utopian conception of the common. From 1980 onward, as Peter Stein’s and Peter Hall’s Oresteia became established models, the chorus morphed into a collective in which individuals had their singularity in common. Following this, until 1999, the performances of Oedipus the King hailed the birth of the modern individual, for whom the chorus acts as archaic backdrop. Lastly, and despite attempts in performances of The Oresteia at the turn of the millennium to rebuild a community out of common memory, Greek tragedies staged in the 2000s show the despair of, and about, communities. This archaeology of the common, reflecting the globalisation of European societies, is therefore indirectly an archaeology of the individual.

Les théâtres romains, dont on peut observer les vestiges dans de très nombreuses villes tout autour de la Méditerranée, sont des objets familiers et pourtant souvent encore mal connus. Ils n’ont bénéficié que de rares études synthétiques. Inspiré par les recherches menées sur les théâtres et autres édifices de spectacles des époques plus récentes, ce travail porte un regard résolument urbain sur des édifices polyvalents caractéristiques de l’urbanitas : à la fois lieux de spectacles, de vie quotidienne et de cérémonies, lieux de rassemblements civiques et religieux, lieux de mixité sociale. Les innovations architecturales apportées par les Romains à la forme théâtrale inventée par les Grecs leur permettaient en effet de déterminer plus librement la place des théâtres dans leurs villes et de les intégrer à des programmes urbains concertés et signifiants. En confrontant l’analyse des représentations antiques - figurées ou littéraires - des théâtres romains et quelques études de cas archéologiques approfondies, l’objectif était d’explorer et de clarifier l’ensemble des liens qui pouvaient se nouer entre le théâtre et la ville à l’époque romaine, des plus matériels aux plus symboliques. La multiplication des échelles d’approche et l’attention portée à l’insertion dynamique et subjective des théâtres dans les paysages urbains les fait apparaître comme des objets à la fois typiques et singuliers, complexes et immédiatement lisibles et pour finir remarquablement efficaces dans la composition et l’incarnation de l’image des villes. / The vestiges of Roman theatres are ubiquitous throughout the Mediterranean Basin; these structures are familiar, yet remain relatively unexplored, with only a few studies considering their general place in Roman life. Inspired by research on the theatres and entertainment buildings of more recent times, this study offers an urbanistic perspective on these multipurpose edifices; characteristic of the urbanitas, these were at the same time buildings for theatrical performances, ritual ceremonies, and daily activities; civic and religious meeting places; centres of social interaction. The innovations the Romans made to the architectural theatrical form invented by the Greeks enabled them to redefine the theatre’s place in the city and to incorporate it purposefully into their plans for urbanization. Combining the analysis of ancient textual and pictoral representations of Roman theatres with archaeological case studies, this thesis explores and clarifies the practical and symbolic relationships between the theatre and the city in Roman times. By broadening the scope of investigation and by exploring the dynamic and affective positioning of the theatre into the Roman urban landscape, this thesis reveals these architectural structures to be simultaneously typical and unique, complex and understandable, and ultimately remarkably effective in establishing and embodying the image of the city.

The aim of the thesis is to present a complex view of theatrical activies in the Děčín region in 1900-1938 (the then Sudetenland). The author focuses both on professional and amateur theatres and contextualizes them within Bohemian-German relations at that time. The thesis builds upon social relations between Czech and German people and points to their theatrical co-existence, with its peak in 1938. One particular chapter is devoted to theatre in Děčín in which both German and Czech performances took place. In the conclusion, the author tries to compare this situation to other importnant North-Bohemian stages (Liberec, Ústí nad Labem, Teplice, Cheb).

Background Because of extreme population and a lack of resources the risk of beeing harmed while admitted to a hospital in Bangladesh is big. Mistakes made at operating theatres can result in devastating consequences, but by evaluating the patient safety that risk can be minimized. Right now Bangladesh is in the middle of an industrialisation that is contributing to the growing need for an expanding health care. The country is regularly suffering from cyclones, tsunamis and monsoon rains and there is an urgent demand for safe health care. Method The aim of this thesis was to study the physical structure, organisation and practice at operating theatres in Bangladesh. At three private and two public hospitals 14 operating rooms in total were visited and the basic equipment was examined. Managers, physicians, nurses and technicians were interviewed at all hospitals, 41 people in total participated in the study. Results The temperature control was not up to standard, bigger storages were needed and none of the public hospitals had enough washing equipment for proper scrubbing. Only one hospital could monitor the patient’s body temperature during surgery and proper resuscitation equipment was missing in half of the operating rooms. The autoclave process could not keep up with the surgeries and delays were not unusual. The cleaning staff had no training in patient safety and the staff found that the nurse’s education was not enough. The reporting of mistakes rarely reached the management and a written report was unusual. Discussion Most of the staff did not know what calibration meant and there were only biomedical departments at two of the hospitals. Even though training was re- quested by the staff the management did not plan for any changes. This shows that it is the organisation, not the human errors, that is the source to the unstable situation of health care. The lacking of the reporting system is an- other reason for the slow development. Staff with technical knowledge must be available at the hospitals in order to help prevent risks and all hospitals should establish a biomedical department. Patients had to lie on the floor, due to the shortness of space. This is not good for patient safety, but the alternative would be that they would end up with no help at all. The outcome of patient safety should always result in better health for the people. The personal had this view of thinking and they showed great engagement to their work. Key words: Patient safety, Bangladesh, operating theatres, operating rooms / Bakgrund På grund av extrem befolkningsmängd och brist på resurser är risken för att bli skadad av sjukvården i Bangladesh stor. Misstag inom kirurgin ger förödande konsekvenser, men genom att utreda patientsäkerheten kan risken minimeras avsevärt. Bangladesh befinner sig just nu i en industrialisering som bidrar till det ökande behovet av vård. Flodvågor, översvämningar och stormar drabbar landet regelbundet och efterfrågan på säker sjukvård är akut. Metod Patientsäkerheten analyserades genom att undersöka den fysiska miljön, organi- sationen och den praktiska utövningen i operationssalar. På tre privata och två statliga sjukhus i Bangladesh besöktes sammanlagt 14 operationsrum, där den grundläggande utrustningen utvärderades. Avdelningschefer, läkare, sköterskor och tekniker intervjuades på samtliga sjukhus, totalt är 41 anställda med i stu- dien. Resultat Temperaturkontrollen var bristfällig, bättre förvaringsmöjligheter efterfrågades och ingen av de statliga sjukhusen hade tillräcklig utrustning för att tvätta händerna rätt. Endast ett sjuhus kunde övervaka patientens kroppstemperatur och återupplivningsutrustning saknades på hälften. Sterilisering av instrument kunde inte ske i samma tempo som operationerna och förseningar var vanligt. Städpersonalen hade ingen träning i patientsäkerhet och det fanns ett missnöje över sköterskornas utbildning. Rapportering av misstag gick sällan till sjukhus- ledningen och skriftlig rapportering var sällsynt. Diskussion De flesta av de tillfrågade visste inte vad innebörden av kalibrering var och endast två av sjukhusen hade en medicinteknisk avdelning. Trots att vidareut- bildning efterfrågades av personalen hade ledningen inga planer på förändringar. Detta visar på att det är organisationen, inte de anställdas misstag, som är källan till den osäkra sjukvården. Den otillräckliga rapporteringen är också en anled- ning till varför utvecklingen hämmas. Tekniskt kunniga personer måste finnas tillgängliga på sjukhusen för att förebygga risker och varje sjukhus bör organi- sera en medicinteknisk avdelning. På grund av platsbrist låg många patienter på golvet. Detta är självklart inte bra för patientsäkerheten, men alternativet skulle vara att de inte fick någon hjälp alls. Synen på patientsäkerhet måste alltid inkludera att hälsan i sin helhet förbättras, den insikten hade personalen på sjukhusen och de visade stort engagemang. Key words: Patientsäkerhet, Bangladesh, operationsavdelningar, operations- salar

Scenic Designs of High Baroque in the National Collections of the Czech Republic The thesis deals with the Baroque scenic designs which are situated in public collections of the Czech Republic. These are mainly the works by Josef Hager and Josef Redlmayer, whose production was inspired by the Italian baroque scene designer Giuseppe Galli Bibiena. The aim of the thesis is to describe inspirational sources which influenced the artists and to comprehensively classify their production within the European context of the Baroque period. The diploma work also explains the history of Baroque theatres in Bohemia as well as in the whole Europe. It shows their connection with the pompous cellebrations so popular in Baroque period. The thesis also informs about the progress of Italian scenography and scenic designs with the explaination of stage decorations. The thesis is divided into five general chapters which show the local and time consequences. The first part brings the general introduction into the baroque theatre and baroque theatrality. It explains the beginning, genres and technical issues of the baroque theatre. This information is extended further during the thesis. The second chapter deals with the baroque celebrations and their tight connections with the theatre. The third part deals with...
