Resumo: This article considers the origins of Stanislavski’s system and his insistence that the actor’s skills, like the musician’s, must be honed through daily exercises. Such practice must become the actor’s second nature, as Stanislavski terms it. It also compares what Stanislavski has to say about the skills acquisition with the psychologist William James’ discussion of the role of habit in learning. This raises some problems in theorizing the system today, as it was rooted in the science of more than a century ago, when much less was known aboutthe mechanisms of memory and learning.

Cette pratique doit devenir une seconde nature pour l’acteur, selon Stanislavski. Le discours de Stanislavski sur l’acquisition de ces nouvelles habilités est mis en rapport ici avec la réflexion sur le rôle de ’accoutumance dans l’apprentissage développée par le psychologue William James. Cela soulève en effet quelques problèmes dans la théorisation du système aujourd’hui, puisque ce dernier est enraciné dans une science qui date de plus d’un siècle, lorsque l’on ne savait que très peu sur les mécanismes de la mémoire et de l’apprentissage.Este artigo considera as origens do sistema de Stanislavski e a sua insistência na ideia de que as habilidades do ator, assim como as do músico, devam ser afinadas por intermédio de exercícios diários. Tal prática precisa se tornar a segunda natureza do ator nos termos de Stanislavski. Compara-se aqui o que Stanislavski tem a dizer sobre a aquisição dessas habilidades com a discussão sobre o papel do hábito na aprendizagem do psicólogo William James. Isso levanta alguns problemas na teorização do sistema hoje, uma vez que o mesmo está radicado na ciência de mais de um século atrás, quando muito menos se sabia sobre os mecanismos da memória e da aprendizagem.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2022-10-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/presenca/article/view/43410Brazilian Journal on Presence Studies; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2014): maio/ago. 2014; 295-312Révue Brésilienne d'Études de la Présence; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2014): maio/ago. 2014; 295-312Révue Brésilienne d'Études de la Présence; Vol. 4 No 2 (2014): maio/ago. 2014; 295-312Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença; v. 4 n. 2 (2014): maio/ago. 2014; 295-3122237-2660reponame:Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presençainstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/presenca/article/view/43410/50628Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presençainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWhyman (University of Birmingham – Birmingham, Reino Unido), Rose2022-10-16T20:42:39Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/43410Revistahttp://seer.ufrgs.br/presencaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/presenca/oai||rev.presenca@gmail.com2237-26602237-2660opendoar:2022-10-16T20:42:39Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
