Theatrical Performances

Luigi Pirandello is one of the greatest creators of the metatheatre. The Italian Nobel Prize winner has tried for years to explore the unclear status of theatrical performances, exposing the paradoxical truths and relations in which the spectacle is implicated. The metatheatrical trilogy of Pirandello includes the following dramas: Six characters in search of an author, Tonight we improvise and Each in his own way. Despite the fact that these texts put emphasis on various aspects of the same problem, they constitute an extremely coherent and – most importantly – up-to-date reflection on the nature of the medium they represent. The action of these dramas take place within a microcosm of indefinite boundaries and its fiction, contrary to accepted conventions, blends into the real world, blurring the border between art and life, imitation and original, truth and falsehood. The author of the article investigates the metatheatrical experiments of the Sicilian master in the three above-mentioned dramas, demonstrating how Pirandellian games with theatre’s conventions and stage illusion changes (broadens) the understanding of the theatrical spectacle and stage fiction. Keywords: Pirandello, metatheatre, modern drama, stage illusion, act of creation, imitation, truth, awareness of fiction

Our confidence in markets comes from economics, and our confidence in economics is underpinned by the Nobel Prize in Economics, which was first awarded in 1969. Was it a coincidence that the prize and the rise of free-market liberalism began at the same time? This is the first book to describe the origins and power of the most important prize in economics. It tells how the prize, created by the Swedish central bank, emerged from a conflict between central bank orthodoxy and Sweden's social democracy. The aim was to use the halo of the Nobel brand to influence the future of Sweden and the rest of the developed world by enhancing the bank's authority and the prestige of market-friendly economics. And the strategy has worked spectacularly — with sometimes disastrous results for societies striving to cope with the requirements of economic theory and deregulated markets. Drawing on previously untapped archives and providing a unique analysis of the sway of prizewinners, the book offers an unprecedented account of the real-world consequences of economics and its greatest prize.

This article investigates reception of the figure of Austrian writer Peter Handke (b. 1942), the Nobel Prize winner in Literature in 2019, within discourses of actual German culture (in «literary» and «mass media» contexts) in parallel with his own understanding of the Writer’s Mission, its aims, ideals, and complications. Being a Writer as a way to get through the totality of «invalid communication» («verhinderte Kommunikation») in the real world is the most important topic of Handke’s own literary creation: beginning with «The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick» (1970), «Slow Homecoming» (1979), «Repetition» (1986), «The afternoon of a writer» (1987) and ending in his later texts. Besides the above mentioned works of Peter Handke, the present paper analyzes three essays on his work written by a world famous German writer and literary scholar W.G. Sebald (1944-2001), who took close to his heart the described topic as well (especially the tradition of Linguistic Scepticism going back to the ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein). The paper also considers a number of publications in the German press in October 2019 dealing with Peter Handke being awarded the Nobel Prize and the heated debate that followed.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
