Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

By investigating the representations of the human throughout history of the robots, we analyze robotic performances from a theatrical audience pragmatic point of view. Hence, this interpretation of robots as performers, or staged robots, involves an act of suspension of disbelief as a first and constitutive condition of theatrical reality. As an early analysis of robotic performances and robots as performers, this paper focuses on the notions of anthropomorphism and anthropopathy.

In Czech

Prostřednictvím výzkumu reprezentace člověka v historii robotů zkoumáme robotická performance z pohledu divadelního. Naše interpretace robotů jako performerů, nebo scénovaných robotů, zahrnuje akt potlačené nedůvěry jako první a základní předpoklad divadelní reality. Příspěvek se zaměřuje na fenomény antropomorfismu a anthropopatismu.
