Anthropological condiments for a theater scene myth and rite in intercultural representation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The social sciences and art have more common coincidences and attributes than meets the eye. Freeing ourselves from a certain rigidity and exclusion rooted in some methodological approaches we can see that both anthropology and theater turn their eyes towards a common goal. Both disciplines point to an analogous object-subject. Whether it is a deep inquiry or a casual approach, it becomes inevitable to approach a mysterious and at once fascinating universe: the unveiling of staged humanity, human behavior as a whole. From a Greek tragedy represented two thousand years ago or the tale of an Amazonian tribe trying to accommodate the swift 21st century, these experiences draw us a brushstroke of a humanity that thinks unique and diverse at the same time.
