Rozszczelnianie pola językowej uznawalności: O mobilności kulturowej dramatu ukraińskiego w Polsce po 24 lutego 2022
Abstract
This article undertakes to inscribe considerations on the cultural mobility of Ukrainian drama and theater in Poland after 24th February 2022 into research on theater multilingualism and multiethnicity in the context of contemporary migration. It focuses on the peformative strategies of Ukrainian dramatic texts presented in Poland under the extraordinary circumstances resulting from Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine. The author analyzes selected performative readings of dramas translated into Polish, as well as theater projects carried out in Poland by Ukrainian artists, in order to explore the various architectures of intercultural encounter involved in artistic activities and enhancement of the agency of Ukrainian incomers, also through the empowerment of their language. As the most important element of the architecture of intercultural encounter she identifies various strategies of cracking the field of linguistic recognition, which situates phenomena discussed in the Polish context within the broader framework of research on the performativity of language and its corporeal materiality, as well as the performance of refugeeism.
