<i> Per una storiografia geopolitica del teatro. Genesi e sviluppo del teatro ucraino come asserzione del territorio storico</i>

Abstract

The article presents a first historical reconnaissance of the Ukrainian theatre (from 1600 to our days), through a critical approach to the respective historiography. The dramaturgy and the Ukrainian scene are contextualized according to the historical-political dimension that has determined, for the creative shapes of this Country, the evolution of the search of a "territorial - historical identity" (with particular evidence in the theatre of the twentieth century). Around such a characteristic there has developed a wider reflection expressed in the preamble of the article, where some possible interactions are hypothesized between geopolitics and studies of the theatre, in order to carry out an adequate analysis of the cultural phenomena relative to the territories of the ex-URSS.
