The concept of concurrences is a blanket term for challenging dominating statements of the past and present. Concurrent stories have varying claims to reality and fiction, as well as different, diverging, and at times competing claims to society, culture, identity, and historical past. Dominant Western narrations about colonial power relationships are challenged by alternative sources such as heritage objects and oral traditions, enabling the voice of minorities or subaltern groups to be heard. Concurrences is about capturing multiple voices and multiple temporalities. As such, it is both a relational and dynamic methodology and a theoretical perspective that undergirds the multiple workings of power, uncovering asymmetrical power relations. Interdisciplinary in nature, this anthology is the outcome of scholarship from the humanities and social sciences with an interest in the multiple temporality of postcolonial issues and engagements in various places across the world.
The European Union’s Democracy Promotion in Central Asia
Brussels made democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and good governance its top co-operation priorities in the EU Strategy Framework towards Central Asia for 2007–2013. This book examines two interrelated questions: To what extent has EU democracy promotion in Central Asia been successful? And, to the extent that it was successful, why was it so?
The book presents a comprehensive analytical framework for the evaluation of democracy promotion, including factors which may facilitate or hinder democratic development in Central Asia. It demonstrates the validity of a holistic approach to analyzing impediments of democracy promotion meaning that external pro-democratic support is affected by a variety of diverse factors whose impact can vary as international, regional, and domestic conditions change.
The stable and rich authoritarian state of Kazakhstan is different from the much poorer Kyrgyzstan—a state prone to political instability, but also to democratic openings. By contrasting the success of democracy promotion in these two countries which have different strategic importance for the EU, this study provides valuable insights into how non-normative interests interfere with normatively driven policies.
Building Ukraine from Within
Ukraine drew significant media attention after the 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity and the subsequent undeclared war waged by Russia. However, the nature of these events and their impact on the social, economic, and political development of this country remain under-studied and, hence, often misunderstood. The reader is invited to take an inside look at the recent developments in Ukraine and to search for an answer to the question of whether transition from externally to internally driven development is possible in this case.
Anton Oleinik argues that Ukraine is currently going through a revolutionary period aimed at building a nation-state and its aftermath. Ukraine is a latecomer in this process, especially compared with most other European countries. Its outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. It is yet to be seen if a current surge in volunteerism and bottom-up civic initiatives will lead to the emergence of a viable and sustainable national democratic system in this country.

La Verticale del Ruolo
Gli attori di oggi devono essere capaci di recitare come solisti nel mondo sia del teatro che del cinema. La tecnica della “Verticale del Ruolo” consente agli attori di lavorare sul loro ruolo in maniera indipendente, rendendoli liberi e autonomi oltre che artisti a tutti gli effetti. Offre le basi per tutte le tipologie di audizione, ma anche per l’interazione artistica all’interno di un ensemble o con un regista. Generazioni di attori sono cresciute con il classico di Stanislavsky “Il lavoro dell’attore su se stesso” ma il teatro del 21° secolo con la sua particolare struttura di produzione richiede nuove forme di lavoro indipendente da parte dell’attore. Jurij Alschitz ha sviluppato il metodo della “Verticale del Ruolo” durante gli anni di ricerca all’interno della pratica teatrale, metodo sperimentato nei Centri Teatrali Europei che ha creato in Germania, Italia e Scandinavia. Egli ha verificato e applicato questo metodo con successo nella pratica della scena teatrale in vari paesi. Jurij Alschitz nel libro espone i suoi pensieri sull’etica della professione dell’attore. Egli vede l’attore come un autore, un creatore e il centro della performance drammatica, che dovrà, di conseguenza, essere equipaggiato di appropriate capacità tecniche per adempiere diversi compiti. Le successive fasi del lavoro dell’attore nella “Verticale del Ruolo” sono esposte in dettaglio, pronte per essere usate dagli attori, o per costituire le basi per insegnanti i registi che desiderino applicare questo metodo. Un capitolo a parte descrive il quotidiano training per l’attore sulla base di esercizi pratici.
The Art of Dialogue
The Art of Dialogue The actor’s profession is, first and foremost, an open system of communication in an endless dialogue with his character, with his partner, with the director, with the spectators, with the playwright, with the role – but at the end of this list we should say – the actor also has an infi nite dialogue with himself. When the actor himself is open, then he knows how to open others, and then they open up to him. The opening of another system, and of another view, allows the actor to learn something new, to go beyond the boundaries of his familiar knowledge of the world and himself.
In Theatre, dialogue is the art of creating with others. And for this, you need not only the talent of a Person but also the skills and mastership of an Artist. In this book, you will be introduced to my research about dialogue on stage, sketches of working methods and, of course, practical exercises. It’s important to me that you fi nd something useful here, something questionable and even something which you don’t need at all. I hope you will fall in love with dialogue on stage, and open up its artistic beauty for yourself.
