Накратко на български

Културната присвояване в театъра изследва случаи, при които доминираща група използва символи или история на друг народ без подходящо право. Това помага да се разбере връзката между идентичността и „другия“ в глобализираното общество и как се възприема в Европа и Северна Америка.

Intercultural Theatre And Cultural Appropriation

ITACA (Intercultural Theatre and Cultural Appropriation) intends to explore the complex phenomenon of cultural appropriation in contemporary theatre with the aim of setting up a form of theatre aesthetics. Cultural appropriation is defined as the improper adoption of features (history, symbols, ideas, know-how) of a people, or society, by members of another and usually more historically dominant group. Relevant cases that occurred in the context of Quebec theatre have recently attracted international attention, and show how sensitive the Canadian society is to the problem. Holding to the belief that theatre is an ideal philosophical tool useful to explore the relationship between identity and otherness, ITACA proposes analysing that relationship which is found in our post-colonial, globalized society. Additionally, by taking this exploration one step further by analysing how Europe perceives this relationship compared to North America. The project studies this complex phenomenon from the disciplinary point of view of theatre aesthetics, open to a multidisciplinary approach including theatre practice, political science, and new media. The issue of cultural appropriation is an urgent theme that needs to be clarified with respect to the phenomenon of “Identity Politics” (the tendency for people of a particular religion, race, social background, etc., to form exclusive political alliances, moving away from traditional broad-based party politics). Could it be that the cultural appropriation really is a harmless, peaceful exchange of cultural expressions? Or, on the contrary, it is offensive? What measures and practices should be taken to tackle cultural appropriation? To achieve its objective ITACA foresees a research and training project between Canada and Italy combining Quebec theatre to examples of Italian intercultural theatre, and investigating aesthetic and ethical issues arising when a dominant culture represents a marginalised one.

Цел на проекта

The ITACA project (Intercultural Theatre And Cultural Appropriation) intends to explore the complex phenomenon of cultural appropriation in contemporary theatre with the aim of setting up a form of theatre aesthetics. The objective is to probe the themes constituting and defining the very origin of theatre, so as to discover their aesthetic and ethical categories, using the lens of cultural appropriation: i.e. the way a historically dominant culture uses and transforms features of a marginalized culture. Cultural appropriation is considered in the context of Quebec theatre and compared to some examples of intercultural theatre in Italy. In the belief that theatre is an ideal philosophical tool by which to explore the relationship between identity and otherness, ITACA proposes to explore that relationship as found in our post-colonial, globalized society and insofar as Europe compares with North America. To achieve its objective ITACA foresees a research and training project between Canada and Italy combining philosophical theory with theatre practice in an interdisciplinary framework. ITACA is open to a multidisciplinary approach, ranging from political science to new media, the study of Quebec culture and digital globalization, and understanding the urgent and relevant theme of cultural appropriation. These theoretical studies are anchored to a programme of Research-creation allowing one to work practically alongside Canadian and Italia stage artists. Multidisciplinary and practical approaches come together in a perspective that observes the theatre first and foremost from an aesthetic angle. The results, presented via international conferences, lectures and publications, will be disseminated in the EU and CANADA, thanks to the support of the respective host institutions UMIL and UQAM, and will be decisive for the experienced researcher’s career development in the academic field.
