Abstract

In dialogue with contributions by the Italian scholars Nando Taviani and Franco Ruffini, Janne Risum discusses the historical and methodological features of theatre anthropology and questions some of its key arguments. In this context, notions such as the cultural, sociological and anthropological aspects of the actor can be analysed in a unique concept of “cultural savannah”, where the phenomena are all observable phenomenologically. For the original Danish version of this article in French translation: see Janne Risum, “Skuespilleren på savannen - og på scenen. Et besøg i ISTA’s begrebsverden” in At synliggøre det usynlige: En antologi, ed. E. E. Christoffersen (Århus: Institut for Dramaturgi, 1987), 35-56 (texts by K. D. Kjeldsen, E. Christoffersen, E. Barba, J. Risum, R. Schechner, E. Thomsen).
