Tożsamość hybrydowa i diasporyczna w dobie kulturowej mobilności. Przykład włoskiego dramatu i teatru
Hybrid and Diasporic identity in the age of cultural mobility. Italian theatre and drama

Summary/Abstract: The author describes the characteristics of Italian drama and dialectical theatre, which are opposed to models of identity promoted by the government and media. According to Bal, theatre draws attention to the distinctive features, cultural characteristics and nationalism of local communities, which she joins Stuart Hall in calling a Diaspora. Using the work of Emma Dante as an example, she discusses examples of “questioning identity as a cultural ballast which is shutting Italy up within a Diaspora.” Bal explains that it is directors, above all, who see the need to “begin a serious public debate to discuss the challenges and opportunities created by modern society in the age of cultural globalisation.”
