About this ebook

Die Studiensammlung Theatrologia. Kleine Schriften zur Bühnenkunst und Theatergeschichte umfasst zwölf Studien aus dem letzten Forschungsjahrzehnt von Walter Puchner. Die Arbeiten gliedern sich in einen theoretischen Teil, der sich mit den allgemeinen Entwicklungen der internationalen Theaterwissenschaft der letzten Jahre auseinandersetzt, und einen historischen Teil, der sich vor allem mit Fragen der Theatergeschichte des ausgehenden Altertums, des ersten Jahrtausends, von Byzanz und dem Balkanraum der Neuzeit beschäftigt, dem arabischen Mittelalter und dem ostmediterranen Bereich unter osmanischer Herrschaft, um im neugriechischen Theater des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts zu münden.

He has also taught theatre history for thirty years at the Department of Theatre, Film and Media Studies at the University of Vienna. He has been an invited guest professor at many European and American universities. In 1994 he was elected a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and in 2001 he was decorated with the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art. He has published more than sixty books and about 300 publications in scientific periodicals. His research topics are the history of theatre in the Balkan Peninsula, comparative folklore and ethnography of the Mediterranean area, and Byzantine and Modern Greek studies, as well as theory of drama and theatre.
