It proposes the view that a gesture becomes a Gestus when it is interpellated into myth. It follows that the Gestus also interpellates into relations, which is, at the same time, its connecting and disconnecting power. The author presents some insights from the theory of ritual and unpacks them to identify some of the ritual’s key characteristics that simultaneously correspond to Brecht’s epic theatre. He does this with an awareness of the ontological differences between ritual and theatre and without the intention of locating Brechtian theatre at any specific locus in the ritual-theatre relation. He intends to think about this relation so that it reveals further insights into the conceptual and practical nature of Brecht’s estrangement effect. Finally, the author recognises its experimental and pedagogical power in its persistent, repetitive intervention in social myths and taboos, which is not only a matter of method but also a matter of initiating in and practising a specific ontologyV eseju naslovim Brechtov koncept gestusa in predlagam njegovo izvirno branje, vzporedno z Barthesovo semiološko teorijo. Predlagam pogled, da neka gesta postane gestus, ko je interpelirana v mit. Od tod sledi, da tudi gestus interpelira v odnose, kar je istočasno njegova povezovalna in razdiralna moč. Z vpeljavo in interpretacijo Brechtove potujitvene metode tematiziram in opredelim njegov odnos do ideologije in etike oz. morale. Predstavim nekaj pogledov iz teorije rituala ter v doseženi razprtosti tega pojma identificiram nekaj njegovih ključnih potez, ki jih nato prepoznavam v Brechtovem epskem gledališču. To počnem z zavedanjem ontoloških razlik med ritualom in gledališčem ter brez želje, da bi Brechtovo gledališče umestil na neki specifični lokus v razmerju ritual-gledališče. Moj namen je ob razmišljanju o tem razmerju še bolj raziskati konceptualno in praktično naravo Brechtove potujitvene metode. Njeno eksperimentalno in pedagoško moč prepoznavam v vztrajnem, repetitivnem interveniranju v družbene mite in tabuje, ki pa ni le stvar metode, ampak je tudi stvar učenja in prakticiranja specifične ontologijeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovenski gledališki inštitut (SLOGI)
