Sceny klęski
Scenes of failure

Summary/Abstract: Dariusz Kosiński replies to a critical review of his book Teatra polskie (Polish Theatrics) written by Joanna Tokarska-Bakir (published in “Didaskalia” 2013 no. 117). The reply aims at exposing what Kosiński considers the unfair and untrue criticism voiced in Bakir’s review. What is more, Kosiński explains a number of theoretical points which were debated by his reviewer, presents in detail his research methods and finally elaborates on his own understanding of the practical ways of applying performance studies to the analysis of spectacles. He also hopes that it will be possible to find clear and verifiable methods of communicating research results and thus of ensuring that academic debates are more productive and fruitful.
