Después de Brecht: El teatro de Edward Bond

El teatro épico de Brecht ha constituido una de las mayores influencias en el teatro contemporáneo inglés. Este artículo examina las técnicas teatrales de Brecht en el dramaturgo inglés Edward Bond y realiza un recorrido por los aspectos ideológicos y metodológicos de ambos autores para mostrar sus coincidencias y diferencias en conceptos como la historia, la psicología, la conexión de las escenas, la violencia como instrumento de cambio en la sociedad, las técnicas fundamentales del teatro épico, la música, la utilización de posters y el uso de las emociones. Tras este recorrido, se concluye que a pesar de las evidentes huellas brechtianas en Bond, su teatro épico es diferente, pues no encuentra utilidad en el encumbramiento de Brecht. Nos dice Bond que nada es intemporal y que el teatro épico aún no ha sido elaborado en su totalidad. Brechtian epic theatre is one of the greatest influences in modern British drama. This article examines the development of Brecht ’s theatre techniques in the English playwright Edward Bond and proposes a general overview of the ideological and methodological aspects of both authors. This study tries to show their similarities and differences in concepts such as history, psychology, scene linking, violence as an instrument to change society, fundamental techniques of epic theatre, music, the use of posters and emotions. After this general overview, the conclusion is that, despite the evident Brechtian traces in Bond, his epic theatre is different because it is based on the need to go beyond Brecht. Bond tells us that nothing is eternal and that epic theatre has not been totally developed

A geometrical analysis of the field equations in field theory

In this review paper we give a geometrical formulation of the field equations in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms of classical field theories (of first order) in terms of multivector fields. This formulation enables us to discuss the existence and non-uniqueness of solutions, as well as their integrability.Comment: 14 pages. LaTeX file.

The Hamilton-Jacobi Formalism for Higher Order Field Theories

We extend the geometric Hamilton-Jacobi formalism for hamiltonian mechanics to higher order field theories with regular lagrangian density. We also investigate the dependence of the formalism on the lagrangian density in the class of those yelding the same Euler-Lagrange equations.Comment: 25 page

On Higher Derivatives as Constraints in Field Theory: a Geometric Perspective

We formalize geometrically the idea that the (de Donder) Hamiltonian formulation of a higher derivative Lagrangian field theory can be constructed understanding the latter as a first derivative theory subjected to constraints.Comment: 7 page
