Learning outcomes of the course unit

  1. The starting point of the lecture series is - aside from a summary of structural contributions - the semiotic school of Czech theatre theory - a detailed presentation to students to new or contemporary concepts in theatre review in a domestic and foreign context.
  2. To direct attention to the international context of theatre theory, that is the theory concepts of R. Barthes, M. De Marinis, J. Alter, A. Ubersfeld, P. Pavise, H.T. Lehmann, E. Fischer - Lichte and others. This international context creates the framework in which the presentation of contemporary theatre research issues thought plays out.
  3. To introduce students to efforts to overcome structural starting points - semiotic schools of contemporary theatre research: post-drama theatre (Lehmann), performace in theatre, aesthetics of performance (Fischer - Lichte, Roselt), ontological elements of theatre action, emphasis on its process considerations (Etlik, Roubal).
