Problems of Th eatrical art in the XXI century

Abstract

From the last decades of the XX century to the present, the overall processes of integration have a total character in all spheres of human activity. In general, the cosmic quickness of development of technologies and especially information technologies have long removed the borders between different countries and civilizations. This triumphal move of globalization on our planet is a quite difficult process full of resistances. Its ongoing process is far ahead of comprehensive deliberation and assessing of possible positive and negative consequences raised by this occurrence. Despite the fact that historically globalization is a fully natural process, which certainly has not started only in the last decades of the XX century; some people consider the renaissance epoch as its beginning. There are people who think that this process originates from ancient times alongside with the development of mankind’s traditional cultures. However, subsequently in later history, it goes beyond the traditional boundaries of culture and often plays a destructive role towards it. During the discussions around globalization, there often appear catastrophic and apocalyptic visions. On the one side are those who consider globalization as historically inevitable and a progressive comprehensive occasion, while others emphasize the dangerous nature of this occasion for distinctiveness and development of different cultures and civilizations.
