L'elaborato di tesi consiste nella traduzione dalla lingua inglese a quella italiana dell'opera teatrale "Fences" del drammaturgo americano August Wilson e nell'elaborazione di un pertinente apparato di note al testo. La parte introduttiva consistera' in un'analisi politica e sociale degli elementi compositivi dell'identita' Afro Americana presenti nell'opera, distinguendo in particolare tra elementi appartenenti alla cultura tipica Americana, come il baseball e la fence simbolo del Sogno Americano, ed elementi derivanti dalla tradizione Africana, come il Blues e lo spiritualismo.

Abstract:

L'elaborato finale che propongo avrà come oggetto l'opera teatrale “The Piano Lesson” di August Wilson. Nel mio elaborato finale proverò a tradurre l'opera in lingua italiana dall'opera originale in lingua inglese. Attraverso lo studio portato avanti nei due anni di università e grazie alla mia passione personale per la musica afro-americana e per il blues nello specifico, analizzerò l'opera secondo i canoni della musica blues. Porterò avanti questa analisi specifica in quella che sarà l'introduzione alla traduzione. Dopo aver delineato un breve quadro generale della poetica e del pensiero del

Abstract:

In the fall of 2007, I was cast in the University of Central Florida's production of The Piano Lesson. My thesis will examine my performance in the role of Grace, as well as understudying the role of Berniece under the direction of Professor Belinda Boyd. In addition to the performance components, my thesis materials will include historical and cultural character research and a reflective journal documenting my rehearsal and production process. My character research and journal will address questions about the characters "choices" and the relationship of their environment to views of personal

Abstract:

Considerado um dos maiores dramaturgos americanos do século XX, August Wilson dedicou a sua carreira profissional à escrita de um ciclo de dez peças sobre a vida da comunidade afro-americana nos Estados Unidos da América, cada uma reportando a uma década do século vinte. Esta dissertação trata questões de indagação de identidade sociocultural e individual transversais à sua obra. A produção artística de Wilson contesta peremptoriamente a História dos Estados Unidos escrita pela mão de historiadores brancos, e reclama o lugar e a importância do povo afro-americano, que não vê contemplados ness

Abstract:

In 2004, August Wilson completed Gem of the Ocean, the first play in his Pittsburgh Cycle. Seven years later, the University of Central Florida's production of Gem of the Ocean went against what most consider traditional staging. With a Russian born director and a mostly white production team, playing to a predominately white audience, what are the challenges of accurately transforming the text to the stage, while still providing a truthful telling of a story? The following is a case study based on the idea of “active dramaturgy” or, more specifically, cultivating an atmosphere within the prod

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>英國語文研究所<br>91<br>This thesis attempts to show how August Wilson deconstructs the white distortion of black history and constructs an authentic black history by writing about the black experience in The Piano Lesson. Wilson explores the old and the new black identities from three significant issues of migration, slavery, and the blues respectively in the play. In order to further explicate the playwright’s arguments on the black subject, Stuart Hall’s idea of postmodern identity serves as a major premise: the subject is composed not of a single, unitary, but of several identitie

碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>英國語文學系<br>88<br>This thesis focuses on the blues as cultural and ethnical identities in three of August Wilson's plays, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, and Fences. The goal is to examine how the blues can function as one part of African roots and as a collective memory and experience for black Americans. The blues in Ma Rainey is treated as a commercialized product and commodity to entertain the popular taste. Yet, Ma Rainey insists on the idea that the blues as African heritage black Americans should remember. In Joe Turner's Come and Gone, the emphasis

In this dissertation I examine the creation of August Wilson's first commercially and critically successful play, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and the essential roles of his mentor--director Lloyd Richards--and the O'Neill Theater Center in that creation. A three-part chronology gives detailed biographical sketches of the two men, including their work at the O'Neill Center and their similar familial backgrounds, as well as an overview of American theater in the twentieth century, with a special emphasis on African-American drama, placing Wilson's and Richards' work in context.

Abstract:

Despite the apparent hegemony of vision in racial categorization, historically vocality has borne the brunt of as much racial presumption as physical appearance. This project explores ideas about Blackness, and how the voice in performance engenders conversations on racial authenticity within the United States. Broadly, the work examines how “sounding Black” functions within dramatic performance, and how wider concerns of racial identity adhere to a performer’s vocal choices. The contextualization of racialized sound presented in this project begins with an historical overview of how a “Bla

Hermes in Greek mythology, Mercury in Roman mythology, Esu in Yoruba mythology, and Wakdjunga in Winnebago mythology are examples of the Trickster archetypes. According to Lewis Hyd

Chapter I starts with multicultural criticism and then illustrates a definition of identity as a system of discourse about human difference sustained by its symbolic articulations in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. This chapter also calls for a new order essential to racial minorities' autonomy, by decentering the white authority over the officially sanctioned force throug
