Americanism of Čapek’s Play about Robots
Original language description
The lecture reveals various aspects of the so-called “Americanism” of Čapek’s play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots), which premiered in Prague in January 1921. Reviewers of the world premiere of the play wrote about the “Americanism” of the play. The attention that the theatre production gained in the States can be regarded as proof of its “Americanism” as well. Moreover, it was the success of the drama in an Anglo-Saxon cultural context that initiated the worldwide fame of the play and its author as a prominent representative of science-fiction.
