Albert Lewin, a well-known Hollywood cinema director who is significantly influenced by the surrealistic movement, brings together the myth f Pandora and the legend of the flying Dutchman in order to create an exemplary love story, a crazy love story which goes beyond the limits of human reason. Bearing in mind, then, that if one wants to believe in this sort of love story must not be guided by human reason stricto sensu, he builds a world of signs, a semiologic world which this article aims at helping to interpret.

Racism, Sexism and African-American Literature

This paper approaches the theme of human rights from the perspective of racism (social and political discrimination based on biological differences) and sexism (the discrimination of the woman based on the opinion that she is less able than the man). Those were issues that engaged the greater attention of black writers of the mid-twentieth century, such as Alice Walker, Ntozake Shange, Lorraine Hansberry, and Ralph Ellison. From a survey of selected works by African-American writers of that period, the paper argues that the black population, while it hailed the structural racial reforms, was concerned that the legislative dismantling of segregative structures had not changed the fundamental discriminatory attitude of whites. It further shows that the black woman faced another kind of discrimination not only as a person of colour but also because of her gender; discrimination, sadly, even from her own black society.

A Rereading and Repositioning of Roles in Amiri Baraka’s Dutchman

Amiri Baraka's well-known and both vastly praised and criticized play Dutchman is a primary example of Revolutionary Theater, which Baraka conceptualizes as a theater that "forces" its audience to confront the realities of social injustice, and "accuse" and "attack" its practitioners. In this sense, Dutchman is a model text of Baraka's compulsion toward destruction through art. This article argues that the prevalent view in the scholarship on this play reduces Clay and Lula as victim and victimizer. This article aims to present these characters in a postmodernist light, as more complex and less stereotyped. Thus, they can be seen as having equally the potential to change and the potential to destroy (themselves and/or the society). In the final analysis, Baraka presents a true piece of Revolutionary Theater in Dutchman: powerful, accusatory and destructive.

The Catalan director Calixto Bieito is a successful opera director, critically acclaimed for his often violent and energetic conceptual innovation. He has worked mainly on German stages in the last decade, where audiences have often been
scandalized by the explicit imagery and radical re interpretations in Bieito’s work. This ‘reactive’ review critiques his production of The Flying Dutchman for Stuttgart State Opera (2008), applying mainly semiotic and some phenomenological analysis. It also contextualizes Regietheater (director’s theatre) with audience expectation. The context of the production and the impact of using an earlier (1841) version of the opera is examined with reference to direction,
scenography and conceptual updating of The Flying Dutchman.
