Abstract
In this paper, we briefly review the act theory of Bakhtin and Lotman which explores ethics of act, and concentrate on Evreinov’s theatrical ethics. Bakhtin’s philosophy of the act and Lotman’s the Poetics of Everyday Behavior have a merit that makes possible the three-dimensional thought about the multi-layeredness of the act.BR The theory of Bakhtin, with an emphasis on social function and accountability of art, and Lotman’s the poetics of everyday behavior can be read as an attempt to incorporate both behavior and ethics. Lotman’s theory deals with the phenomenological ethics of artistic formation in the external environment of culture, if Bakhtin’ s theory deals with the ontological ethics of subject composed of others.BR The ethical nature of Evreinov’s theatrical theory has three characteristics. First, he argues that the life-creation is based on the ethical formal logic of a categorical imperative. Second, the act based on the theatricality itself contains the intention of self-improvement. Third, directing life and becoming ’others’ mean the overcoming of the ordinary reality and the creation of the new reality, which frees us from the shackles of reality, and also has the meaning of treatment and recovery.
