Course objectives
Students will become familiar with a variety of analytical mathods - due to textual analysis, symbol analysis, monologue/dialogue tendencies, actantial models; structural analysis, types of signs, and its fluctuation within performance, modern trends in the thinking of drama and theatre - postmodernism, postdramatic analysis, gender studies. All these methods will be apllied on one single play, Ibsen's Hedda Gabler (on the text as well as on its performances) in order to show the diversity of analytical approches plus the advanbtages and limits of each analytical method.
