Abstract

The paper is aimed at discussing the diversity within the attitudes of the theatre criticism towards the theatre act as encountered in daily newspaper articles concerning the theatre, as well as the one provided by specialised theatre journals. Furthermore, I intend to analyse the phenomenon and the influence of the commentaries regarding the viewed performances (as well as the ones not viewed yet) appearing on social networks (e.g. Facebook), with a view to defining their stylistic features, along with the diverse paradigms which could be inferred from these texts and/or commentaries. I would particularly like to focus upon the dichotomy „fashion - taste”, associating the afore-mentioned phenomena with the „world of spectacle”, i.e. prevalent tendencies directed towards the „market logic” of creating „scandal”.
