„Vidi, snagu nam daje da bismo bili umjetnici kad hoćemo biti tek ljudi.“ – Gamllet Slobodana Šnajdera na jugoslovenskim scenama

This paper is going to present a fragment of the analysis of Slobodan Šnajder’s metatheatrical play Gamllet (1987), which is to be read in along the line of Šnajder’s Hrvatski Faust (1981). While introducing the theoretical concept of the theatrical key image, which is influenced by the concept of the image by the Jewish-German art historian Aby Warburg, the paper will shed light on a specific theoretical framework to cultural analysis entangling both, production- and reception-related aesthetic approaches towards cultural analysis.
