The first was prohibited on moral grounds, the second because it was in Catalan (AGA: Box 73/08262, File 1465/40 and File 1464/ 40). These were the first two Ibsen translations to be banned during Francisco Franco’s long dictatorship (1939–1975), several other would follow. Jord a, however, had engaged in yet another Ibsen play, namely An Enemy of the People, which he translated both into Spanish and Catalan. His widow never tried to get these translations approved, probably because, in the fin de si ecle period, the play had been popular among the left, and often staged by amateur groups linked to the labor movement (G omez-Baggethun 2020, 58–81, 99–103). In fact, the last time An Enemy of the People was produced in Spain before the Civil War was in 1920, when it was staged in Madrid on the occasion of the annual conference of the socialist trade union UGT. Although it is not surprising that Jord a’s widow was discouraged, she might have misjudged the situation. The truth is that An Enemy of the People never encountered any problems with the Francoist censorship. Although no one applied for a staging censorship approval of the play during the 1940s and 1950s, An Enemy of the People was frequently published during these two decades. And when the play finally returned to the","PeriodicalId":41285,"journal":{"name":"Ibsen Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42408088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many western theatres and some non-western ones, the attraction to Ibsen by theatre practitioners was linked in different ways to the processes of modernization and the problems that come with it (FischerLichte 2008, 96). Colonialism and modernization are related to each other in complex ways (Gillen and Ghosh 2007, 1). In some colonial contexts, the modernization process was implemented as a “civilizing mission” (Jeyifo 2007, 608). This civilizing mission was largely dependent on print literacy produced by European colonizers to suit the needs of a local context (Willis 2018, 13). In colonized territories in Africa, literary texts were actively used in missionary works and mass literacy projects. The missions and the schools provided “good literature” (Newell 2002, 5) for readers to conceive of themselves as part of the larger British Empire. Additionally, the colonial administration used these transmission modes of literature to “track and control nations and populations” (Willis 2018, 13). As a consequence, reading regimes, practices, and performances were structured on the expectations and regulations of the colonial administration. Also, the system of transmission of literature in the colonies was perpetuated and controlled by the colonial administration. As agents, they did not seek financial capital but what Pierre Bourdieu refers to as “cultural capital”","PeriodicalId":41285,"journal":{"name":"Ibsen Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42190786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The plays of Henrik Ibsen found their way into many British colonies because their subjects were relevant to local theatre and literary enthusiasts. Additionally, changes in Ibsen ’ s literary reception in these colonies suggest a development in the attitudes of colonial subjects. In southeastern Asia, particularly India, there is a thriving Ibsen performance tradition on its postcolonial theatre stages. In sub-Saharan Africa, the southern region has shown a sustained interest in Ibsen ’ s works, while very little can be said about the western region. This dissertation sets out to explain the low interest in Ibsen ’ s works on the theatre stages of western Africa by drawing on some markers from Ghana and Nigeria. The study finds its premise on the mapped travels of the play A Doll ’ s House on the IbsenStage database to piece together historical and political patterns of the reception of Ibsen in Ghana. In a broader context of female imaging in western African literary traditions, the study situates an argument of reception linked to the traditions of performing and imaging maternity and women.

More specifically this collection challenges the practice of isolating the dramatist from his socio-historical contexts and treating his final twelve plays in particular as a self-contained aesthetic whole. On the premise that Ibsen, “could not escape his own context, and that literary autonomy is itself contingent on extra-literary preconditions, like the ability to live from one’s authorship, being protected by copyright, or being received with a certain reverence in appropriating cultures” (xvi), the essays embed the playwright into five general categories: “Life and Career,” “Culture and Society,” “Scandinavian Reception,” “Internationalization,” and “Afterlives.” This holistic contextualization of Ibsen from the time of his writing until today broadens the interpretative possibilities for his works and underscores the importance of the larger socio-cultural European and global contexts for the dramatist. The first three essays that make up Part I, “Life and Career,” are all written by Narve Fulsås and trace the cultural and sociopolitical Scandinavian contexts of Ibsen's early life and writing. Of particular focus are Ibsen’s practical theatrical experiences in Bergen and Kristiania, and importantly his relationship to Gyldendal publishing house and its head, Frederik V. Hegel. Fulsås suggests Ibsen’s association with Gyldendal resulted in a shift of focus from performance to book culture and ensured an","PeriodicalId":41285,"journal":{"name":"Ibsen Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44218079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the present volume she delivers a more comprehensive and more deeply analyzed study on the subject that focuses on Ibsen’s discussion of the philosophy of history. In the seven chapters of the study, she discusses Ibsen’s relation to the aesthetic writings of Lessing and Herder, she debates his ambivalent reactions towards Hegel’s aesthetics and philosophy of history, and finally she goes into the complex relation between the attempts by Ibsen and Nietzsche to revitalize modern forms of tragedy. One of the virtues of the study is that Gjesdal not only pays attention to this German context, but also to Scandinavian philosophers who transmitted and modified German philosophy (besides Kierkegaard and Brandes she repeatedly refers to Johan Ludvig Heiberg’s philosophical writings). One could, of course, say that all of these complex intertextual relations have already been treated in older studies by Harald Beyer, Ole Koppang, Asbjørn Aarseth, Thomas F. Van Laan, Brian Johnston, and Matthias Straßner (to name just a few important representatives). But Gjesdal is certainly right when she states that the focus of these studies has been “lighter on philosophical content and detail” (p. 8) and heavier on dramaturgical observations. This should not insinuate that she is blind for the literary dimensions of Ibsen’s works. On the contrary, all of the presented readings are characterized by an attempt to take drama and the dramatical forms of representation seriously.

Polemiche e dibattiti tra Otto e Novecento (Trieste and the Ibsen case.

This is his first book on Ibsen. In this work on Ibsen in Trieste the historical and critical approaches previously employed by Quazzolo seem to merge, enhancing each other to create new perspectives. Here the author reconstructs the first reception of Ibsen in Italy focussing on the encounter between the Norwegian playwright and the city of Trieste at the turn of the twentieth century, and recognises in this encounter some unique elements, charged with promises of mutual enrichment: on the one hand the reception of Ibsen in Trieste – once some initial scepticism was overcome – set the tone for the national reception of the playwright; on the other, the entrance of his dramas both on the stages and in cultural debates in Trieste during those years contributed to reconceptualizing the identity of a city which, in that moment, was defining its role and position in the cultural landscape of Italy.

The adaptation was part of an assignment to direct the play at the National School of Drama, New Delhi. However, this article is limited to reflections on and handling of approaches and challenges in the adaptation process. I intended to make a text that would communicate with present-day Indian readers and audiences. It required a deep-rooted process, far beyond merely a textual translation. The fundamental task was to negotiate the source text within the socio-political-cultural context of colonially mediated modernity, representing the juncture between tradition and modernity of contemporary India. This juncture is the meeting place between two different political visions for economic and social reform after partition in 1947: the Gandhian project of reviving the village economy, and the Nehruvian vision of prosperity through rapid industrialization as a part of a Western-inspired secular modernization project. This divide still characterizes the socio-political climate in India. Moreover, one could understand the present situation in India as part of a wider notion of colonialist interpellation, which is implanted within the postcolonial structure.

Little Eyolf might be viewed as an appendix or a sequel to Hedda Gabler, a piece stemming from the remains of its motif—as though it rose from the ashes in Hedda’s fireplace or sprang from the pieces of paper out of which Tesman and Thea hope to compile a new book in the final scene of the play. In Little Eyolf, the play Ibsen wrote four years after Hedda Gabler, he continues to evolve Plato’s metaphor of giving birth to a book like giving birth to a child. Little Eyolf is a play about a book that never managed to mature, about a child who never grew up, about people striving to grow fully as people. As in the play Hedda Gabler, in which missing books and unborn children forever remain shrouded by darkness—either hidden in their mother’s womb, trapped in the scholar’s head, or burnt in the black rectangle of a fireplace—in Little Eyolf the hypothesis remains unfinished and the child is lost. As noted by Ernst Robert Curtius in his study European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages, “the concept of the book as a child [... ] goes back to Plato’s doctrine of Eros” (Curtius 2013, 132). In Plato’s Symposium—in the part where Socrates decides to convey what Diotima taught him about the subject of love—love is defined as “giving birth in the beautiful, in respect of body and","PeriodicalId":41285,"journal":{"name":"Ibsen Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44399952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
