The foundation of Mir Iskusstva and the role of the visual and performing arts. Benois, Diagilev, Filosofov and their group (1890–1904)

The fictionalized account in the recent film The Queen of Tony Blair's coaching of Her Majesty into a more voter-friendly response to the death of Princess Diana, largely through the medium of television, is a pertinent reminder of how the presentation of self on television subtly modifies the presentation of self in everyday life. In this article, Ian Watson considers how the now-ritualized debates between the main contenders in American presidential elections are stage-managed to enhance what their supporters suppose to be their candidate's most sympathetic features – supposedly learning the lessons of the first such debate, between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, which displayed Nixon in such an unappealing light. However, what are ostensibly strengths or weaknesses may be read as quite other by an audience attuned to reading signifiers in film or television drama – or simply empathic towards what others perceive as failings, as in the case of reactions to George W. Bush's inarticulacies, awkward mannerisms, and failed jokes, which some read not as signs of ineptness but of an endearing humanity. Ian Watson, who is a Contributing Editor of New Theatre Quarterly, teaches at Rutgers University, Newark, where he is the Acting Chair of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. He is author of Towards a Third Theatre: Eugenio Barba and the Odin Teatret (Routledge, 1993) and of Negotiating Cultures: Eugenio Barba and the Intercultural Debate (Manchester University Press, 2002).

Media Politics

Our Special Issue captures the interplay of media, politics, religion, and culture in shaping Arabs’ search for more stable governing models at crossroads of global, regional, and national challenges through systematic and integrated analyses of evolving and contested Arab visual and performing arts, including media (traditional and alternative), in revolutionary and unstable public spheres. This special issue examines the role of new media in the construction of online communities in the Arab world. It contributes to the understanding of how user-generated content empowers these new publics and the novel communities established by user comments on social media and news websites. Specifically, it explores these online communities and their perceptions of the role of user-generated content to contribute to politics, and potentially engage other citizens in the public debate.

The Everyday ◽

Suspension Of Disbelief

When is a theatre event not a theatre event? Where, in the shifting relationships between (and even the shifting definitions of) actor and audience in modern and postmodern performance, is a useful line to be drawn – if only for purposes of analysis and discussion? How adequate are such traditional concepts as the ‘suspension of disbelief’, when the distinction between the ‘realities’ of the theatre and of the everyday begin to merge or dissolve? Ian Watson, an advisory editor of NTQ who teaches in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at the Newark Campus of Rutgers University, New Jersey, here explores how the issue is affected by the differing pre-interpretive perspectives of performers and spectators. In this light he describes three recent theatre events – the Broadway production of Death and the Maiden, Harold Pinter's London production of Circe and Bravo, and an instance of Augusto Boal's ‘Invisible Theatre’ – to suggest that it is in these perceptual variations that the clue to understanding theatrical reality may lie.

News Event

When the ‘action’ at major news events is observed over days or weeks by television cameras, how far does the medium become, whether knowingly or not, a participant and shaper in the action it observes? How far does the action itself become, to some degree, a performance before the cameras? While not ignoring either the moral or practical implications of such questions, lan Watson sets out primarily to analyze the ‘frame’ of television news broadcasting, and to consider the events within that frame as elements of performance. He considers the six days of rioting in Los Angeles in 1992, sparked by the acquittal of police officers charged with the beating of Rodney King – itself caught on camera – as a case study, in which the often ignored role of the observer, whether the news anchor-man in the studio or the audience watching at home, comes in for corrective scrutiny. He concludes that in the ‘mediated present’ of the news event on television, the medium is indeed as much a producer as a reporter of an action which is pervasively shaped by its presence. An Advisory Editor and regular contributor to New Theatre Quarterly, lan Watson teaches in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Rutgers, where he is Co-ordinator of the Theatre and Television Programs.

The article shows that in career development, the use of acting techniques opens up new opportunities. The author traces the development of the Russian acting school, created by K.S. Stanislavsky and later revised and supplemented by his students, in the modern socio-economic situation. The article demonstrates that despite the fact that for many years this school was aimed exclusively at educating and training people who want to connect their lives with the theater, it had a significant impact on amateurs as well. Passion for the performing arts was traced among people of a wide variety of professions, which contributed to the creation of numerous amateur theaters. This tendency was especially evident in educational institutions. Pupils and students under the guidance of an experienced director tried to take steps in the stage space, received grateful responses, but continued to be content with the role of an amateur actor, without encroaching on the laurels of a professional. Nevertheless, after that, their main activity, regardless of the direction, moved to a completely different level. Without any psychotherapeutic interventions, the attitude to oneself, to the people around, and to situations changed, the speech apparatus and the timbre of the voice were transformed, phobias and depressive tendencies disappeared. As a result, participants in amateur theaters acquired a new circle of friends and promotions, or they radically changed their field of activity, opening completely new prospects for themselves. The article examines these possibilities in the framework of the modern situation, when the entire range of theater and acting means may be in demand by representatives of other professions.

History Of

M. Fabius Quintilianus was a prominent orator, declaimer, and teacher of eloquence in the first century ce. After his retirement he wrote the Institutio oratoria, a unique treatise in Antiquity because it is a handbook of rhetoric and an educational treatise in one. Quintilian’s fame and influence are not only based on the Institutio, but also on the two collections of Declamations which were attributed to him in late Antiquity. The Oxford Handbook of Quintilian aims to present Quintilian’s Institutio as a key treatise in the history of Graeco-Roman rhetoric and its influence on the theory and practice of rhetoric and education, from late Antiquity until the present day. It contains chapters on Quintilian’s educational programme, his concepts and classifications of rhetoric, his discussion of the five canons of rhetoric, his style, his views on literary criticism, declamation, and the relationship between rhetoric and law, and the importance of the visual and performing arts in his work. His huge legacy is presented in successive chapters devoted to Quintilian in late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Italian Renaissance, Northern Europe during the Renaissance, Europe from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century, and the United States of America. There are also chapters devoted to the biographical tradition, the history of printed editions, and modern assessments of Quintilian. The twenty-one authors of the chapters represent a wide range of expertise and scholarly traditions and thus offer a unique mixture of current approaches to Quintilian from a multidisciplinary perspective.

ABSTRAKSI: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peranan seorang seniman bernama Ateng Japar dalam mengembangkan seni pertunjukan Longser di Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat, Indonesia, dari tahun 1975-2002. Masalah utama yang dibahas adalah bagaimana dinamika perkembangan seni pertunjukan Longser pada masa Ateng Japar, 1975-2002. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode historis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Longser merupakan seni teater rakyat yang hidup di daerah Priangan, khususnya di Kabupaten Bandung. Longser seringkali disebut sebagai seni sandiwara rakyat yang banyak menampilkan tarian-tarian berpasangan dan memberikan kesempatan kepada para penonton untuk menari bersama dengan penarinya. Pada tahun 1939, Ateng Japar mendirikan kelompok Longser yang diberi nama “Pancawarna”. Awalnya, kelompok ini melakukan pertunjukan dengan cara mengamen, namun memasuki tahun 1970-an terjadi peralihan tempat pertunjukan, yakni kedalam gedung kesenian. Pada tahun 2002, sang seniman Ateng Japar diberitakan wafat dan hal ini berdampak pada perkembangan Longser yang semakin meredup. Selain itu, masuknya pengaruh globalisasi yang diikuti oleh perubahan zaman yang semakin maju dan modern, pada akhirnya membuat seni pertunjukan Longser yang masih bertahan hingga saat ini kurang mendapat tempat di hati masyarakat luas. Eksistensi Longser semakin diperparah ketika sebagian masyarakat, terutama dari kalangan generasi muda, masih banyak yang belum mengetahui tentang seni pertunjukan Longser. KATA KUNCI: Longser, teater rakyat, Ateng Japar, perubahan zaman, dan pengaruh globalisasi. ABSTRACT: “Ateng Japar: The Legend of Longser Performing Arts and His Roles in Bandung Regency, 1975 - 2002”. This study aims to explain the role of an artist named Ateng Japar in developing the performing arts of Longser in Bandung regency, West Java, Indonesia, in the period of 1975-2002. The main issue discussed is the development of Longser performing arts organized by Ateng Japar from 1975-2002. The method used in this research is the historical method. The results showed that Longser is the art of theater folks who live in the Priangan region, especially in Bandung regency. Longser, often referred to as a theatrical art, displays many folk dances in pairs and provide an opportunity for the audience to dance along with the dancers. In 1939, Ateng Japar established a Longser group named “Pancawarna” (five colours). Initially, this group performed by singing, but by the 1970s, there was a shift in the venue into an art gallery. In 2002, the artist Ateng Japar passed away, and his death negatively affected the development of Longser. Besides, the influence of globalization followed by a change of more advanced and modern age, eventually, makes the performing arts of Longser, although still survives today, less appreciated by the wider community. The existence of Longser is threatened when most people, especially the younger generations, do not know about the Longser.KEY WORD: Longser, people theater, Ateng Japar, change of time, and influence of globalization.<img src="/public/site/images/wirta/08.april_.upi_.ok_.jpg" alt="" />About the Author: Apriliani Hardiyanti Hariyono, S.Pd. adalah Alumni Departemen Pendidikan Sejarah FPIPS UPI (Fakultas Pendidikan Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, Jawa Barat, Indonesia.

Historical Issues

This research aims to determine the historical construction of criticism and propaganda formed in Kidungan Jula-juli performance in each era. Kidungan is a song in the Gending Jula-juli in East Java. The musical text presented in the song seems to be open (blak-blakan [openness]), assertive, and emotionally becomes the power of criticism. Historical issues concerning the function of Kidungan Jula-juli are interesting enough to be known, thus encouraging this study to get a basic and detailed understanding of the historical stages of the role of Kidungan Jula-juli from the Japanese era to the reformation era. This study using a historical approach and emphasizes the problem of music function. The analysis was carried out by looking at the ideas, concepts, and cultural references that accompanied the performance of Kidungan Jula-juli. The results of this study indicate the dynamics of the function of criticism and propaganda in Kidungan Jula-juli. During the Japanese occupation era, Kidungan Jula-juli was very sharp in its role as an instrument of the independence movement; from 1950 to 1965, Kidungan Jula-juli was used by political parties to strengthen political support and propaganda. In the New Order Era, kidungan lost the function of criticism. The state controlled it for the sake of propaganda and the legitimacy of power. Kidungan Jula-juli is more open and present on a stage with other performing arts in the era of the reform order.
