Abstract

Veronika Darian, Dr., is teaching contemporary theatre in historical perspective with focus on transmediality and transculturality. She researches, publishes and teaches, increasingly collaboratively, especially on 'Fremdheitsforschung', theatre of age(ing) and things, biography and narration in theatre, dance and performance, theatre in societies in transformation and scenes of obstinacy.


After studying German, Italian, music and theatre studies, she also taught at FU Berlin and HHU Düsseldorf. She received her doctorate in 2004 with her thesis "Theatre of Ekphrasis. Language, Power, and Image in Times of Souvereignty" (Munich 2011). Further publications: "Gestural Research. Practices and Perspectives" (co-ed., Berlin 2020); "Die Praxis der/des Echo. Zum Theater des Widerhalls" (co-ed., Frankfurt/M. 2015); "Verhaltene Beredsamkeit? – Politik, Pathos und Philosophie der Geste" (ed., Frankfurt/M. 2009) and "Mind the Map! – History Is Not Given" (co-ed., Frankfurt/M. 2006).

In my research, I focus on theatrical practices in the present and in history that mediate between cultural formations in a potentially domination-critical orientation, providing a specific, body-related knowledge. I am particularly interested in those practices and techniques that are used in theatre, dance, performance and film and that have socio-cultural effects beyond that. Starting out from the media and performative conditionality of culture, I investigate concrete tensions and processes of negotiation through detailed analyses of theatrical phenomena and their historical and theoretical perspectives. This includes competing narratives and speaker positions in text-, image- and body-based productions in the context of local, national and global structures and interests. All my research aims at manifestations of a (cultural) political stance in the arts and sciences that can create critical attention for the changeability of social conditions.

Basically, I understand and create teaching and learning as intertwined processes. The main goals of my teaching are 1. to enable students to carry out independent, autonomous and creative research; 2. to teach, test and consolidate theatre studies skills in the development, presentation and discussion of their own research results; 3. depending on the students' qualification phase: to teach the basics of scientific work, to introduce and deepen basic theatre studies knowledge, to stimulate and support the development of their own research questions, to provide expert guidance, advice and support for seminar, final and qualification thesis. My teaching is characterized in particular by co-teaching formats, events in cooperation with practice partners, formats that are linked to transfer activities, involvement and development of artistically practical project formats and public presentations and cooperative works in international contexts.

  • Decolonial (Theatre) Practice

    Winter term 2021/22 - The seminar explores exemplary modes of decolonial (theatre) practice. These practices of decolonial thought rehearse the (decolonising) rebellion against structures that are asserted by dominant cultures and that reproduce themselves again and again in different formats and with different focal points - from the principle of dialogue to forms of representation to incorporation and subversive affirmation.

  • Postcolonial Perspectives

    Winter term 2021/22 - Based on Stuart Hall's ambiguous question "When was postcolonialism?", the seminar first takes a critical look 'back' at the system of colonialism and its dominant cultural structures and representations. Against this backdrop, contemporary expressions of decolonial thought can be identified that express themselves in resistant practices, self-empowering counter-narratives and subversive processes of re-appropriation.

  • Re:Presentation - Between Imagination, Demonstration and Agency

    Summer term 2021 - Representation is not only a central thematic and practical field of theater and theater studies, it is at the same time also the core of any research on the foreign and the own. Thus, knowledge of, about, and through theater comes close to questions of research on foreignness. The lecture is dedicated to re-presentation as a phenomenon as well as a theorem and focuses on three essential aspects of representation: imagination, demonstration and agency.

  • #empathy (as an artistic-scientific field of research)

    Summer term 2021 - The seminar invites to artistic and/or scientific explorations of the thematic field of empathy. Starting point, material basis and concrete context is the Bielefeld double festival PLAY! WILDwest. Under the overarching theme of "empathy" we are interested in questions that include age(s) and youth, theater by and with amateurs, theater as (inter- or trans-)cultural education, diversity and diversification of our society, social togetherness.

  • Solo Mono I

    Winter term 2020/21 - The seminar is dedicated to questions of autofiction and female writing, the "death of the author", poetics of the self, mono-, dia- and polylogical formats as well as possible attitudes of an I in research. Throughout, the artistic practices of the self realized here in its theatrical representations as well as in its - especially transcultural - questionings are focused.

  • #filmastheatre

    Winter term 2020/21 - The seminar focuses on theater as 'the other' of film. This 'other' is reflected, for example, in formal aspects of early film at the turn of the last century. It is also reflected by theatrical practice, film theory and cultural criticism of the dawning 20th century (Brecht, Eisenstein, Artaud). And it is still evident today in cinematic theater experiments such as Lars von Trier's "Dogville," the films of Peter Greenaway, or the theatrical re-enactments of Lola Arias.

  • Fremdheitsforschung – Perspektiven und Praktiken

    Summer term 2020 - The research on foreignness, as this seminar will mark and realize, takes two things into consideration: the specifically constructed object of investigation and emancipatory movements to experience this (passive) object as an equal (active) counterpart. To this end, it orients itself, on the one hand, to anthropological, sociological and phenomenological perspectives on what is foreign, in order, on the other hand, to derive practices of re-presentation from them.

  • #Beckett

    Summer term 2020 - The seminar deals with Samuel Beckett's multifaceted and cross-media work. Following the seminar, a public event is planned, at which short scientific lectures and artistic lecture performances will be presented to an interested audience in an examination of Beckett, his works, his themes, his predecessors and successors.

  • Einführung in die Theaterwissenschaft transdisziplinär

    since Winter term 2019/20 - In the co-teaching lecture, the first-year students should get first access to subject, objects and methods.

  • Theater/Wissen transkulturell

    since Winter term 2019/20 - The co-teaching lecture for the first-year MA students was intended to provide initial pointers for joint research and application and to provide insight into some basic concepts and methodological questions as well as concrete elements of transcultural theatre research.

  • Praktiken transkulturellen Theater/Wissen/s

    Winter term 2019/20 - The seminar explored practices of transcultural theatre/knowledge/s in theatrical formats as well as in research approaches, each offering specific, critical and reflective perspectives on transcultural phenomena and issues.

  • #Hitler

    Winter term 2019/20 - On the occasion of current socio-political challenges such as the strengthening of right-wing forces and the implementation and intensification of right-wing rhetoric, the co-teaching seminar was dedicated to various examples of coming to terms with, coping with and exorcising the situation, which can be seen in the staging of the figure "Hitler" from the recent past to the present.

  • Fremd-Werden. Figuren, Gesten, Praktiken (#RHNWSFRMD)

    Summer term 2019 - The lecture dealt with various figures, gestures and practices of becoming (a) strange(r) in contrast (sometimes also as a supplement) to those of being (a) strange(r). In doing so, it looked at acts of othering that are not only constitutive for any form of socio-cultural negotiation between the (supposedly) foreign and the (supposedly) own, but that also refer to the sometimes theatrical, but always performative constitution of these negotiations.

  • Wissenschaftliche Begleitung des gesamteuropäischen Seniorentheater-Festivals stAGE!

    Summer term 2019 - The project seminar guided the participating students in the planning and realisation of a festival laboratory on site for joint research and scientific support of the "stAGE!" festival in Esslingen. Furthermore, it served to prepare a sustainable assurance of the research results in the form of a documentation or publication of the overall project.

  • „Bühne(n) fürs Theater des Alter(n)s – Das Seniorentheaterfestival StAGE!“

    The seminar will use relevant research literature and concise examples from dance, theatre and performance to introduce the ambivalent, multi-layered, often anxiety-ridden and scandalised thematic field of the theatre of the age(s). At the same time, it serves to prepare for the scientific accompaniment of the international senior theatre festival "stAGE!", which will take place in Esslingen from 16-19 May 2019.

  • „Fremdheitsforschung reloaded. Praktiken und Prekaritäten kultureller Aneignung“

    The seminar is dedicated to the phenomenon of cultural appropriation in text, theory and theatre/culture. It also provides a framework for the research series REIHEN WEISE FREMD | STRANGE IN SERIES.

  • KOLLOQUIUM B.A. UND M.A. FORSCHUNGEN IN/AN TRANSFORMATION

    Since the winter semester 2017/18, the colloquium has offered a forum for discussions, a stage for presentations and space for the experimental exploration of scientific and artistic research approaches, both on the occasion of current theses and further research projects of the participants.

  • VON DER (ERFORSCHUNG DER) GESTE ZUR GESTISCHEN FORSCHUNG

    The lecture relates different theoretical concepts of gesture with concise examples from theatre, visual arts, dance and performance. At the same time, the event assumes that (re)research (including gesture research) requires a specific attitude of the researcher towards the researcher, which is to be negotiated experimentally as a perspective for gestural research.

  • ECHO RAUM BÜCHNER

    The seminar, realized together with Prof. Dr. Patrick Primavesi, will accompany the preparation and realisation of the symposium ECHO RAUM BÜCHNER from May 3 - 5, 2018 at the Schaubühne Lindenfels and at the same time start working on the documentation, evaluation and publication of the entire project. It follows on from the two Büchner seminars of the last winter semester.

  • ECHORAUM BÜCHNER

    The seminar questions the 'timeless contemporaneity' of Georg Büchner and his works. With the help of selected examples from the history of reception, a basis for one's own (theoretical as well as artistically practical) research on Büchner (once again) becoming alien (again) today is to be created. The artistic and scientific contributions arising from the seminar will be presented to the public at a conference in the summer semester 2018.

  • FREMDHEITSFORSCHUNG

    The seminar explores, following Bernhard Waldenfels' suggestion, 'Theatre as a scene of the foreign'. Research on foreignness seeks out the topoi of the foreign; research on foreignness calls up figures of the foreign; research on foreignness works itself out on discourses of the foreign; and last but not least, research on foreignness focuses on forms of dealing with (the) foreign that promise support and attitude in times of uncertainty.

  • Absurdes Theater

    The seminar undertakes a journey to figures of the absurd. The travel companions: Alfred Jarry, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Martin Esslin, Theodor W. Adorno, Samuel Beckett. The Itinerarium: the fat bellies of madness, the hell of others, happy anti-heroes and endless endgames.

  • ALTERNATIVE FACTS ODER:UNZUVERLÄSSIGES ERZÄHLEN IN TEXT, THEATER, FILM

    The search for signs and practices of unreliable narrators in text, theatre, film and the attempt to productively transfer existing literary and film studies findings to theatre studies will be the focus of the seminar and should sensitize students to deal with the (un)reliability of their own practices of presentation.

  • Elemente transkultureller Theatertheorie und Theaterpraxis: Alter(n)–Erzählen | Ding–Werden

    In theatrical practices such as the telling of ages and becoming things, possible ways of dealing with transcultural realities and challenges can be identified, because they question what is supposedly one's own and break up binary schemes. The seminar follows the traces of these specifically theatrical practices in theoretical discourses, literary texts, artistic works and dance and theatre productions.

  • Vom eigensinnigen Kind. Spielarten eines Märchens

    In the exercise we will develop the varieties of the fairy tale in joint readings and experimental arrangements. The material used will include excerpts from 18th-century education books that want to see the attachment 'broken', scenes of bourgeois tragedies imagining the 'wicked' mother, and further stories by Bertolt Brecht, Heiner Müller, Alexander Kluge and Oskar Negt, in which the attachment becomes political.

  • Theater in Transfer II: TheaterFremdErfahrungen

    Theater in Transfer is a synonym and mirror of social transformation processes. Currently, the social debate is characterized by questions of cultural hegemony, which seeks to separate the (supposedly) foreign from the (supposedly) own. Theatre is (and always has been) a place of negotiation, a podium and exhibition space for multiple and ambivalent experiences of foreignness vs. peculiarity.

  • Schauplätze des Lebens – Szenen theatralen Erzählens

    The starting point of the seminar is the long-established but questionable concatenation of bios (life) and -graphy (from gr. gráphein "writing, drawing"). The described as a written life testifies to a specific idea of life, which has to testify to the heroism of the human protagonist through a successful sequence of scenes. Yet the handling of life-historical material already contains the malice (and potential) of the theatrical.

  • Theater in Transfer. Herausforderungen gesellschaftlichen Wandels fürs Theater heute

    Our society is in upheaval. Demographic change is bringing about generational conflicts that were thought to have been regulated by the intergenerational contract. The former vision of a multicultural society has failed and collides with fundamentalist tendencies, nationalist retreats and impulses to preserve cultural assets.

  • ‚Leben heißt: das Absurde leben lassen.‘ – Leben(s)TheaterAbsurd

    With the quote from the title, the seminar borrows from the myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus, who is said to be a 'happy man'. At the same place Camus, as one of the most important philosophers of the absurd, speaks of not avoiding the absurd, of not turning into a "springboard to eternity", because such a leap is "an evasion".

  • Inszenierungs- und Aufführungsanalyse

    Seminar together with PD Dr. Sabine Huschka - An analytical examination of performances has been at the core of theatre studies since Max Herrmann. In our seminar we will deal with fundamental positions of performance and production analysis in order to understand their different perspectives of theatre, to question them critically and to test them in an application-oriented way.

  • Das Theater der Dinge

    The four-hour seminar is dedicated to curiosity about things and the question of how to tell (of) (life) stories alongside and against the measure of the human. Where humans tell about themselves, things usually have to give way. But since modernity, at the latest, they have demanded their own place in the views of the human.
