Theatre or literature (on the theory of theatre of based on the study of literature)
Abstract
This work undertakes the problem of philological reflection on theatre, placing in the centre of
considerations the relations between the word and the stage. Often criticised for its onesidedness,
the reflection of specialists in literary studies focuses modern scholars around two
leading methodologies - that of semiology and that of phenomenology. In the article the author
adduced some selected works of Western theorists - the classic book by Anne Ubersfeld "Reading
Theatre", which is a lucid example of "a literary theory of theatre", which in fact ignores the
specificity of stage art, and the publications which fo llow the semiological route and are the
work of such well-known theatrologists as Erika Fischer Lichte, Keir Elam and Martin Esslin. The
philological point of view adopted in these works causes either granting literature a dominant
role with respect to theatre, or, in turn, makes it that both disciplines are treated as beings which
have been artificially separated, devoid of any relationships. The works mentioned here are the
proof of limitations and shortages of the semiological method, which is positively tested exclusively
as a tool of the description of a performance and which is always incapable of making
over-all attempts to look at a performance and at its semantics.
