Performance Studies: A Cultural Spectacle – Handbooks

Summary/Abstract: This article is a polemic with a text by Mateusz Borowski and Małgorzata Sugiera (Structure or Problematize?)and their translation of the article Cultural Representations by Erika Fischer-Lichte (“Didaskalia” no. 101). The authors disagree with the opinions of Sugiera and Borowski on Blame’s handbook, explaining that it is an “introduction to theater studies.” Moreover, the authors regard some of Sugiera and Borowski’s translation solutions as excessive (such as the main terms: “cultural representation,” “cultural staging,” and “cultural spectacle”). They also formulate the opinion that a textbook Borowski and Sugiera overlook – The Anthropology of Spectacles – would fulfil most of their demands.
