Keywords:
Ethnoscenology, Theatre, Ethnocentrism, Performing ArtsAbstract
This text presents human spectacle practices based on their diverse and diversified usages, designated by their proper original denomination. It discusses lexemes such as value of patronymic identity, and nominal ethnocentrism as a widespread trend in several environments – including academic environments – whose main point is to replace the original term with an analogue translation. This text also discusses the way such procedure may encourage the adoption of terms such as theatre and tragedy to value practices considered of minor importance. Such ethnocentrisms are criticized by presenting arguments from literature, linguistics and other fields of knowledge.Downloads
