Abstract
This article offers a review of Sabina Macioszek’s book Opera, ciała, technologie: Strategie współdziałania w XXI wieku [Opera, Bodies, Technologies: Strategies of Interaction in the 21st Century]. The reviewer appreciates the author’s original approach, i.e. applying the tools of performance studies in research on the opera. However, he questions Macioszek’s general definitions, which result in disconnecting the problem of the interaction of bodies and technologies on the opera stage from the social and political context. The review also argues against Macioszek’s selective interpretation of Bojana Kunst’s theory, especially in the use of the term “project.” Finally, it is pointed out that the author’s positioning of theory and practice in relation to each other is problematic; they function here on the principle of contiguity, which means that the analyzed operas are treated only as exemplifications of the theoretical notions under discussion, rather than as fully-fledged artistic works.
