TI - “Spoken Newspaper” as a Form of Journalistic Entertainment
AB - Journal parlé (spoken newspaper) is a stage production that mimics the editing of a newspaper, which was created by Louis Peyramont in 1883. This experiment aroused the brief interest of French, British, Austrian and Hungarian press. The Polish press also noted this novelty, which unexpectedly had become an attractive part of parties, and then an independent form of entertainment related to charity causes. Journal parlés were shown on professional and amateur stages, especially in Galicia, an autonomous province within the Habsburg monarchy. This article analyzed about two hundred press notes documenting cultural, social and organizational aspects of specific spectacles of spoken newspapers in 1897–1914. The author showed contents and characteristics of the Polish version of the journal parlé, defining it as a form of entertainment of journalistic, literary, artistic and scientific elites of Cracow and Lwów (Lviv), which was also pursued at an amateur level outside big cities. He also characterized the aesthetics of comedy dominated by a tendency for satire and parody, which is intrinsic to this form.
