New perspectives in Ibsen Studies 2020
Adaptations
Forgery
Potential to change our understanding of Ibsen
they say something on the "phenomenon" Ibsen, not Ibsen hmself
Forgery as a mirror of society, reflects problems and interpretations of literature in contemporary society
Forgery as a act of reception, forger as a middleman between the work and the reader
Soft power
Forgery as a form of soft power?
Adaptation as a form of soft power
Ibsen as a "Norwegian" good to be exported
Gatas Gynt
Value of inclusion - theatre as a social act
Religious and secular issues
Ibsen's Houses
Place and space affects characters throughout different plays and in different ways.
Unfamiliar in the "familiar": the uncanny and un-belongness to one's own house
Difference between house and home
Rosmersholm:
The truth about Beata's death that deataches Rosmer from his place and, subsequently, Rebecca
The white horse: a
portent of death
Enemy of the People
A Doll's House
"house" over "doll"
modern unhomely rather than a traditional
understanding of the uncanny
targets the entire familial, social,
and architectural systems
House enviroment as a whole character by itself
Tenacity
Ibsen as a "Master Razer": according to the critic he was destroying instead of building social pillars
Method: close reading, stage analysis and reception
