Artykuł dostępny w wersji angielskiej i polskiej (Aszanci w Warszawie. Wyobrażenia „czarności” w społeczeństwie polskim przełomu XIX i XX wieku – przyczynek do polskiej historii kolonialnej)
The author recognizes Włodzimierz Perzyński’s comedy Aszantka as a meaningful remnant of „blackness” in the history of Polish theatre, and therefore she uses it as a point of entrance into a broader inquiry about the entanglement of Polish society into European colonial project, and the ideas, values, and cultural practices it entailed. That is why in the article the author attempts to reconstruct possible concepts and images of “blackness” which Warsaw dwellers might have shared at the end of the 19th century by analysing the reception of the performances of alleged representatives of Ashanti people in the Warsaw circus in 1888. From “Ashanti” performances on, the popularity of this type of entertainment – so called ethnographic shows or human zoos – grew in the colonized capital of the Kingdom of Poland. The author points to “savageness” and “nakedness” as constitutive traits of “blackness” which she understands as a specific human condition, experienced both by overseas colonized societies as well as subaltern social groups (to which “Aszantka” from Perzyński’s comedy belonged) in European societies.
Komedia Włodzimierza Perzyńskiego Aszantka stanowi dla autorki znaczącą resztkę „czarności” w historii polskiego teatru, dlatego traktuje ją jako punkt wyjścia do szerszej refleksji nad uwikłaniem polskiego społeczeństwa w europejski projekt kolonialny, związane z nim idee, wartości i praktyki kulturowe. W artykule próbuje zatem zrekonstruować możliwe wyobrażenia „czarności” mieszkańców Warszawy końca XIX wieku na przykładzie recepcji występów domniemanych przedstawicieli ludu Aszanti w cyrku na Okólniku w 1888 roku, od których zaczęła się popularność tego typu widowisk – nazywanych pokazami etnograficznymi lub ludzkimi zoo – w stolicy skolonizowanego Królestwa Polskiego. Autorka wskazuje na „dzikość” i „nagość” jako konstytutywne cechy „czarności”, którą rozumie jako określoną kondycję ludzką, podzielaną przez zamorskie społeczności skolonizowane i grupy podporządkowane – do których należała Władka/Aszantka Perzyńskiego – w społeczeństwach europejskich.

This essay brings together the perspective of theatre history studies and fan studies in order to ask what it meant to be a celebrity fangirl in the late nineteenth century and thus to historicize fandom and recover forsaken aspects of nineteenth-century theatre culture. By invoking the unique traces of fan experience and fan practices such as recollections left by a self-declared "theatre maniac" or fan letters written to Helena Modrzejewska, this essay investigates Polish female, middle-class fandom of this theatre superstar. Despite emigrating to the United States in the mid-1870s, during the following decades Modrzejewska, known to American audience as Modjeska, guest-performed in Polish lands on a regular basis to great enthusiasm of local audiences. Even though no organizations like the US Modjeska Club ever emerged among Polish spectators, there were equally devoted circles of Modrzejewska's fangirls. They can be compared to other female theatre fans at the turn of the twentieth century, such as the matinée girl in the United States and the psikhopatka in Tsarist Russia. Fangirls shared hierarchies of values, which often collided with social expectations, and together they tended to explore and test alternatives to roles prescribed to them by society. The essay proposes to imagine these women as social and theatre "pirates" who both challenged accepted gender norms of behavior and questioned their own alleged female limitations, as well as advanced forms of reception that were abolished in the process of the "embourgeoisement of theatre."

W artykule omawiam zjawisko „sarabernardyzacji”, które wystąpiło w Warszawie zimą 1882 roku w efekcie gościnnych występów Sary Bernhardt na warszawskiej scenie. Polegało ono na naśladowaniu francuskiej gwiazdy w sposobie wyglądu i bycia. Proponuję, by spojrzeć na sarabernardyzację jako na przykład wczesnej praktyki fanowskiej, w której fascynacja idolką splatała się z potrzebą przełamania hegemonicznego modelu kobiecości. Dowodzę również, że dla społecznej recepcji Bernhardt i zainspirowanej przez nią fali fanowskiej mimikry, kluczowe znaczenie miały antyżydowskie rozruchy, które poprzedziły przyjazd francuskiej aktorki do Warszawy.

W drugiej połowie XIX wieku brytyjska kultura, historia i życie polityczne regularnie gościły na łamach polskich gazet, a od angażu Heleny Modrzejewskiej w Teatrach Warszawskich dramat szekspirowski stał się najczęściej wystawianą klasyką na scenie warszawskiej. O ile jednak znaczenie twórczości Shakespeare’a dla polskiego (w tym warszawskiego) teatru dziewiętnastowiecznego i szerzej – kultury polskiej zostało dogłębnie przebadane (podobnie jak wpływ brytyjskich romantyków na polską literaturę), o tyle dotychczas nie pytano o potencjalne inspiracje brytyjskim, a w szczególności londyńskim repertuarem popularnym.
W artykule przyglądam się pod tym kątem warszawskim sezonom w okresie 1814/15 – 1900/1901, badając nie tylko repertuar Teatru Narodowego i późniejszych Teatrów Warszawskich, ale także ofertę teatrzyków ogródkowych, które od 1868 roku radykalnie zmieniają warszawski pejzaż teatralny. Integralną częścią tekstu są autorskie statystyki oparte na PAN-owskich repertuarach i jagiellońskim informatorze na temat dramatów obcych w Polsce, a także – w odniesieniu do ogródków – na prasie z epoki. Analiza repertuarów, pamiętników z podróży do Wielkiej Brytanii i materiałów prasowych ujawnia, że pomimo warszawskiej (a nawet szerzej: polskiej) fascynacji imperium brytyjskim, jego instytucjami i osiągnięciami cywilizacyjnymi, polscy artyści teatralni (również antrepryza ogródkowa) konsekwentnie odrzucali brytyjski teatr.

In the late nineteenth century British culture, politics and history were customary topics in Polish newspapers, and Shakespeare's dramas were the most often performed classic texts on the Warsaw theatre stage. However, in this paper focusing on Warsaw seasons 1814/1815–1900/1901 I demonstrate that surprisingly one can hardly talk about any form of cultural transfer between the British and Polish popular theatre and drama in that period. The analysis of the Warsaw repertoire, travel recollections to the United Kingdom and press articles, reveal that even though the Polish nation treated the UK as a point of reference, it consistently rejected the British theatre at large and theatre entertainment in particular, and considered it ‘crude’ and in bad taste. I claim that the geopolitical situation of Poland cannot alone account for this puzzle.

Since the very beginning, fan studies have challenged common assumptions about media fans, gradually opening the research field onto different aspects and dimensions of fan culture. So far, however, little has been done regarding both fandom history and theatre fandoms, which would significantly enrich the landscape of fan studies. This article assesses the current state of research on historical audiences, and how historical knowledge on theatre audiences and methodologies, developed within these studies, can be further explored from a fan studies perspective. It is an attempt to look at nineteenth-century theatre through the lenses of the most engaged spectators, whom I call simply ‘theatre fans’, and recover their experiences, behaviours and practices. Broadly speaking, this article seeks to discuss the challenges and opportunities of fan history research by investigating some examples of historical fan practices in Warsaw Theatres and focusing on the early case of ‘fandom war’ between the czakiści and wisnowczycy, as the groups of fans of two actresses – Jadwiga Czaki and Maria Wisnowska – identified themselves. The aim is to re-evaluate fan practices and media engagements in the nineteenth century to recover the then emerging matrix of meanings essential to the understanding of fandom.

'Did you ever see anything like her?', Cleveland Amory asked Hedda Hopper while they were both watching the making of the famous 'bathtub scene' in The Seven Year Itch (Wilder, 1955). How can one explain the phenomenon of Marilyn Monroe – the 'queen of glamour', as her contemporaries called her? This research examines the case of Marilyn Monroe with reference to the model of glamorous femininity which has emerged in modern consumer societies. Monroe is understood as a 'representa-tive character', not a real person, and the study aims at reconstructing and decon-structing her public image, not at establishing the 'truth' about her personal life. The most influential components of Monroe's persona are indicated and analysed based on press material from her lifetime and her repertoire, i.e. the pinup context, the association with nature and the 'goddess' aspect. It is maintained that these components accounted for Monroe's lasting status as an icon of glamour but also best corresponded to the changes in morality and sexuality that American society experienced in the 1950s.

For years Supernatural (CW, 2005–) has gained the status of a cult series as well as one of the most passionate and devoted fandoms that has ever emerged. Even though the main concept of the series indicates that Supernatural should appeal predominantly to young male viewers, in fact, the fandom is dominated by young women who are the target audience of the CW network. My research is couched in fan studies and audience studies methodological perspectives as it is impossible to understand the phenomenon of Supernatural without referring to its fandom and fan practices. However, it focuses on the series' structure in order to explain how this structure enables Supernatural's viewers to challenge and revise prevailing gender roles. Supernatural combines elements of divergent TV genres, traditionally associated with either male or female audiences. It opens up to gender hybridity through genre hybridity: by interweaving melodrama with horror and other " masculine " genres the show provides a fascinating example of Gothic television which questions any simplistic gender identifications.

The article analyses the work of Marta Górnicka, a young Polish director and creator of so-called choral theatre, and in particular her two productions performed only by women: This Is the Chorus Speaking and Magnificat. This reflection takes place in the context of research on the antique chorus, feminist theatre and the musical turn in contemporary theatre. The analysis concentrates on selected problems and aspects of Górnicka’s work, such as language/body/voice, the choral form, community/exclusion, political intervention, and power. Choral theatre is recognized as a fundamentally anti-systemic and revolutionary theatre in which the excluded regain their voices.

The article discusses dramatic works by Maria Morozowicz-Szczepkowska (1885-1968) which - like many other dramas written by women playwrights - have been largely erased from Polish theatre history. Even though she became for a short moment a famous feminist author in the interwar years, throughout her life she struggled to have her plays staged. Most of them have been forgotten not only by theatre artists but also by theatre researchers. Until we recognize women's dramatic works as valuable documents of theatre and social life, our knowledge, sensitivity and aesthetic will remain limited.

The birth of “new burlesque” (descending from the Anglo-Saxon tradition of female burlesque) in the late twentieth century has raised burning questions about objectifying and emancipatory properties of the genre, which simultaneously defines the artist-stripper as object and subject. The article explores how and by what theatrical means “femininity” is performed and experienced both on new burlesque’s stage and in the audience, considering that new burlesque is identified as a “metasocial commentary” to current gender paradigm.

The article explores the metamorphosis of a vampire figure in the beginning of the 19th century, when it evolved from a mindless walking corpse, well-known from Slavic folklore, into a deadly dangerous seducer of aristocratic backgrounds. The thorough interpretation of "Le Vampire" by Charles Nodier, staged for the first time in Paris in 1820, uncovers a strong relation between the hegemony of melodrama in the 19th-century theatre and the vampire fever, which expanded from France to other European countries.

Polish Theatre Revisited explores nineteenth-century Polish theatre through the lens of theatre audiences. I place special emphasis on the most engaged spectators, known as “theatremaniacs” — from what they wore, to what they bought, to what they ate. My source material is elusive ephemera from fans’ lives, such as notes scribbled on a weekly list of shows in the Warsaw theatres, collections of theatre postcards, and recipes for sweets named after famous actors.
The fannish behavior of theatremaniacs was usually deemed excessive or in poor taste by people in positions of power, as it clashed with the ongoing embourgeoisement of the theatre and the disciplining of audiences. Nevertheless, the theatre was one of the key areas where early fan cultures emerged, and theatremaniacs indulged in diverse fan practices in opposition to the forces reforming the theatre and its spectatorship.

Mocno czekoladowy tort Marcello, który na specjalne okazje pojawia się na polskich stołach, powstał jako hołd dla warszawskiej aktorki, Heleny Marcello. Choć nie sposób dziś ustalić oryginalnej receptury tego odświętnego ciasta, w jego nazwie zachowało się uwielbienie, którym obdarzano artystkę, przetrwała fascynacja i entuzjazm, jakie budziła – ona sama i jej gra sceniczna. Tort Marcello to zatem jeden z historycznych śladów po teatralnych kulturach fanowskich, które wyłaniały się na ziemiach polskich w XIX i na początku XX wieku. Książka "Tort Marcello" odzyskuje wczesne doświadczenia i praktyki fanowskie – pomimo że stanowiły one ważny element polskiego życia teatralnego, zostały uznane za zbyt błahe, by o nich pamiętać. Jest opowieścią o dziewiętnastowiecznych teatromanach i teatromankach, miłośnikach i miłośniczkach gwiazd scenicznych i przedstawień teatralnych, ujawniającą sploty między historią teatru i historią fanostwa. Kim byli dziewiętnastowieczni fani i fanki? Jak przedstawiały ich ówczesne media? Jak okazywali swoją pasję?

In this book I explore the relation between femininity, performance, and desire in modern consumer societies. I reconstruct and analyse the model of glamorous femininity which from the very beginning have depended on the figure of an actress and the space of a broadly understood stage in general, and the figure of a chorus girl and popular theatrical genres in particular. Even though public performance of glamorous femininity does not have to be subversive, I argue that it often directly or indirectly challenged the stability and legitimacy of prevailing gender paradigms.
