Abstract
ON DRAMA AND THEATRE IN THE HVAR THEATRE DAYS – ONCE AGAIN
Lucija Ljubić
The Hvar Theatre Days conference has mostly kept its scholarly relevance and endurance due to its close alliance with the latest movements in the humanities and social sciences. Established forty years ago to research and gather the data about the history of Croatian drama and theatre, it underwent several distinctive scholarly cycles including stylistic periods, Croatian poetry, or various distinguished representatives of Croatian literature and theatre. In 2004 the Hvar Theatre Days conference started a new cycle. Choosing culturally wide terms as it overall topics (such as, games and festivities; space and borders; memory, recollection and oblivion), the conference offered diversity in approaches to drama and theatre. The paper presents a brief overview of the approaches and the achievements in Croatian drama and theatre scholarly research, focusing on the new tendencies discernable throughout the last decade, as well as on the possibilities they are opening up in keeping the conference alive and up-to-date, especially with regard to Croatian theatre studies.
