Full textAbstract:
La réception de Brecht chez Wolé Soyinka, Alioum Fantouré et Ngugi wa Thiong'o montre une certaine liberté que les auteurs africains s'octroient avec le texte de Brecht et qui nous fait réfléchir sur le rapport parfois ambivalent entre le regard que le "je" de ces auteurs porte sur "l'autre" qui est ici Brecht et ce que Brecht est en réalité. Dans le cas spécifique de Soyinka, de Fantouré et, dans une moindre mesure, de Ngugi, cette lecture devient une sorte de relecture de "l'autre" Brecht qui se voit ainsi "domestiqué" au point de devenir désormais, thématiquement et stylistiquement, un élément local dans leur complexe littéraire. Alors que Soyinka réactualise la tradition yoruba avec Brecht en toile de fond, faisant ressortir les éléments dramatiques qui interviennent dans les deux traditions africaine et européeenne, mais avec des fonctions poétiques différentes, Fantouré montre une réception ponctuelle et limitée à la reprise du cercueil de zinc dans Le Cercle des Tropiques, séparant toutefois le politique de l'idéologique. Seul Ngugi, de tendance marxiste, donne à la réception de Brecht, des contours plus affirmés avec un recours marqué au dramaturge allemandThe reception of Brecht in Africa in the works of Soyinka, Fantouré and Ngugi shows a certain freedom which the African authors make use of when dealing with Brecht-texts. This approach urges us to reflect upon the often ambivalent relationship between the "I" of these authors contemplating the "other", being Brecht, and what Brecht represents in reality. In the specific cases of Soyinka, Fantouré and, to a lesser extent, Ngugi, this reading becomes a new way of reading the "other", who now is "tamed" to the point of becoming thematically ans stylistically a local element in their literary complex. Soyinka reactualises the Yoruba-tradition with the help of Brecht, letting the dramatical elements emerge from both African and European traditions. These elements play a role in these two traditions, however with different poetical fonctions. Fantouré reflects a punctual reception of Brecht which is limited to the use of the "Zinc Coffin" in "Le Cercle des Tropiques". Fantouré differentiates between political aspects and ideology. It is only with Ngugi, a tendenciously marxist writer, that the reception of Brecht becomes strongly elaborated with a visible reference to the German author

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents evidence which supports Bertolt Brecht's oft-quoted statement that the Bible was the book which exerted the greatest influence upon his writings. While Brecht's early works, Die Bibel (1913), and Die Dreigroschenoper (1928), serve as the main examples, there are also references to biblical allusions from a number of his other writings and some of his poetry. There is general information on Brecht's religious background and en his extensive biblical knowledge which enabled him to use the Bible as one of his principal sources. Brecht's manner of usage and adaptation of religious and biblical material to suit his purposes is noted. As well, a consideration of the views and findings of a number of critics and writers with an interest in Brecht both as an individual and as a writer and poet, provides a degree of clarification of Brecht's approach to the Bible. Included too is sane detail which could posit the Bible as a possible catalyst in Brecht's examination of Marxism as a viable alternative to religion in meeting the needs and aspirations of mankind and of society.

Ao lermos as peças brechtianas, deparamo-nos com algumas, denominadas pelo dramaturgo, parábolas, seja no título das mesmas, como A alma boa de Setsuan - parábola e A resistível ascensão de Arturo Ui - parábola, seja no corpo do texto, como é o caso de Os cabeças redondas e os cabeças pontudas, Quanto custa o ferro? e O preceptor, nas quais essa denominação aparece no prólogo ou no epílogo. Procuramos então pela especificidade do gênero que nasce no contexto do Novo Testamento e constatamos tratar-se de uma metanarrativa, de uma narrativa encaixada em um texto maior com o qual mantém uma relação exemplar, de reafirmação do discurso enunciado, prova da verdade da sua Palavra/Parábola. A parábola funciona, então, como demonstração desta verdade. Por assim configurar-se, revela-se como um poderoso instrumento didático e doutrinário; ela não só veicula idéias a serem incorporadas pelo receptor, mas também, por estar dotada de estratégias persuasivas e dissuasivas, induz o interlocutor a uma mudança de estado, a uma conversão. A história na parábola fala do homem presente, coloca-o em perspectiva, porém travestindo-o e ao seu contexto por meio da alegoria. E à decifração desse artifício conduzem vários elementos construídos em torno da narrativa. Colocada, então, a questão ideológica do gênero, investigamos como, na forma parábola teatral, estão tensionados os pressupostos brechtianos, cuja base se funda em uma visão dialética do mundo. Nossa preocupação aqui, então, é discutir a coerência desses pressupostos em sua práxis; analisando em cada uma dessas peças indicadas a dinâmica instaurada na confluência dos gêneros - parábola e teatro épico.
When we read the Brecht's plays we fall across some entitled by the dramatist, parables, either in its title, as Der gute Mensch von Setzuan - parable and Der aufhatsame Aufsteig des Arturo Ui - parable, or in its body text as in Die Rundkoepfe und die Spitzkoepfe, Was kosted das eisen? and Der Hofmeister, in which this denomination appears in the prologue or in the epilogue. In this case we looked for the specificity of the gender which is born in the context of the New Testament and we verified it is a metanarrative, a narrative embedded in a bigger text with which it maintains an exemplar relation of restatement of the discourse enunciated, which proves the truth of this Word/Parable. The parable works then as a demonstration of this truth. Thus it takes shape, reveals itself, as a powerful didactical and doctrinaire document, it not only transmits ideas to be incorporated by the receptor but also, as it is endowed of persuasive and dissuasive strategies, it leads the interlocutor to a state change, a conversion. The story in the parable tells about the present man, puts him in perspective but disguising him and his context by the allegory. And to the deciphering of this artifice conduct the various elements built around the narrative. Placed then the ideological question of gender, we investigated how, in theatrical parable pattern, are involved the Becht's presuppositions which base establishes itself in a dialectical vision of the world. Our concern here then is to discuss the coherence of these presupposed in its praxis, analyzing in each of these indicated plays the dynamical instituted in the confluence of the genders - parable and epic theater.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MDram (Drama))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.This study focuses on Bertolt Brecht`s use of music in his epic theatre. After looking at his objectives against the background of his times, certain key aspects of his dramatic theory and practice in general are discussed e.g. its epic nature, Verfremdung, Gestus and his social engagement. This is important for an understanding of his functional use of music as an important element in his productions. Music as a sign system in drama is discussed with special reference to the genres in which music plays an essential role, viz. opera, in particular Wagner`s Gesamtkunstwerk and, most importantly, cabaret. The focus is on Brecht`s reaction against and point of connection with, each of these genres. The second part of the study focuses on the role of music in the practice of Brecht`s theatre. Naturally the specific composers with whom Brecht worked and specific productions are discussed. The relevant productions discussed are Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny (1930), Die Dreigroshenoper (1931) and Mutter Courage und Ihre Kinder (1939). Brecht worked against a background of social, political and economic upheaval. His art aimed at making people aware of unjustified social circumstances and inspiring them to engage in the task of changing these circumstances. For him this entailed communicating in a fresh way with words which had lost their meaning because of ideological abuse. For this purpose he made use of music in a very specific way. He tried – not always successfully – to avoid using music as an ornamental narcotic. This implied that music was always meant to serve the intention of the text, the Gestus. Music in Brecht`s theatre was dramatic not incidental, functional not ornamental, and music not as a means of escapism, but as an inspiration. The music, like all the other elements in his theatre, had to stimulate critical thinking and had to be of social use in order for it to be considered functional. The “great struggle for supremacy between music, text and production”, to which Brecht so often referred, complicated his goal of functionality and it was no easy task to marry his dialectical ideas. This caused for certain discrepancies between his theory and practice and I will take that into consideration in this study.

trovo_mc_dr_arafcl.pdf: 609055 bytes, checksum: 3abd2fe04f53739dc33146aa29ffdf36 (MD5)O final da década de 1950 marca o início do percurso que levou ao desenvolvimento do teatro épico de Bertolt Brecht no Brasil. No ano de 1958,a primeira encenação profissional do dramaturgo alemão e o sucesso da apresentação de Eles não Usam Black-tie, de Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, no Teatro de Arena, levaram à criação do Seminário de Dramaturgia do Arena, aos estudos da obra de Brecht e à apropriação dos procedimentos artísticos brechtianos. Por sua vez, os Centros Populares de Cultura (CPC), criados em 1962 e extintos pelas forças militares em 1964, foram fortemente influenciados pela teoria e prática teatral brechtiana. O direcionamento da cena teatral brasileira ao teatro épico coadunou-se com o movimento ascensional das massas do início dos anos 1960 e à perspectiva de transformação social via revolução socialista. O golpe militar de 1964, no entanto, que interrompeu a mobilização política do início da década e pôs em refluxo a agitação cultural, teria retirado a perspectiva empírica de transformação que embasava o teatro épico de Brecht e tornado-o obsoleto. Portanto, nos anos 1990, no contexto de retomada do teatro político, coloca-se a questão da atualidade de Brecht, da potência crítica de suas técnicas artísticas, como o efeito de distanciamento. O presente trabalho, nesse sentido, analisa a peça Ópera dos Vivos. Estudo Teatral em Quatro Atos, da Companhia do Latão, grupo teatral paulistano que se propõe a efetivação de um teatro épico brechtiano, como ponto de partida da discussão da atualidade do dramaturgo na sociedade brasileira contemporânea
The end of the 1950s marks the beginning of the path that led to the development of the Bertolt Brecht epic theater in Brazil. In 1958, the first professional staging of the German dramatist and success submitting They do not Wear Black-tie, by Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, at the Arena Theatre, led to the creation of the Dramatic Arena Workshop, to the studies Brecht’s work and the appropriation of Brechtian artistic procedures. On the other hand, the Popular Culture Centers (CPC), created in 1962 and abolished by the military in 1964, were strongly influenced by Brechtian theater theory and practice. The direction of the Brazilian theater scene to the epic theater conformed to the ascension movement of the masses in early 1960s and the prospect of social change through socialist revolution. The military coup in 1964, however, interrupted the political mobilization in the decade beginning and put in reflux cultural agitation, it would have removed the empirical perspective transformation that based the Brecht epic theater and became obsolete. Therefore, in the 1990s, in the context of renewed political theater, there is the issue of Brecht relevance, the critical power of his artistic techniques, such as distancing effect. This research, in this sense, examines the Living Opera play. The Theatrical Study in Four Acts, the Latão Company, São Paulo theater group proposes to establish a Brechtian epic theater, as the starting point of the discussion of today's playwright in contemporary Brazilian society

Bertolt brecht, en exil a los angeles de 1941 a 1947, n'a cesse d'ecrire pour l'industrie culturelle americaine. Scenarios pour hollywood ou pieces de theatre concues pour conquerir broadway, ses oeuvres d'alors empruntent aux genres populaires du cinema ou du theatre americains des armes nouvelles contre la tradition du drame. Mais la polemique continuee contre l'identification et l'illusion mimetique est accompagnee d'une autocritique permanente. Brecht met son propre theatre en crise et l'examine avec mefiance. Chaque piece devient reflexion sur l'art de la scene et ce dernier doit plus que jamais repondre de ses choix. A l'ombre de l'actualite mondiale, capitulation, collaboration et resistance a l'oppression deviennent non seulement les grands themes des textes de brecht, mais aussi les criteres qui determinent ses strategies d'ecriture. A l'heure des destructions et des massacres de la seconde guerre mondiale, la moindre decision formelle est un probleme politique : la fable du theatre narratif, souvenir d'un temps ou le recit etait encore signe de sagesse, et l'ampleur shakespearienne des personnages sont pour brecht deux facons d'etre volontairement anachronique au milieu du desastre.

In the present study, the sonnets Margarete Steffin and Bertolt Brecht wrote each other will be examined both in regard to the form of the sonnet as well as the tradition with which this form is associated. A second point of consideration, which stands to a certain extent in conflict with the first, is the dialogue which these sonnets constitute. This dialogue provided Steffin and Brecht the forum and opportunity to be equal partners, contrary to their real-life situations, where equality between the two did not exist. This forum allowed them to witness and experience each other simultaneously both as subjects and objects both in terms of longing and desire, as in poetic discourse, enabling them to mutually influence each other. And as the sonnets show, this influence did in fact occur regarding their different ideas, attitudes and needs in their relationship to each other.

Procedeu-se, inicialmente, a um estudo documental das peças, fazendo um levantamento dos princípios didáticos que elas contém; em seguida, foi composto um panorama das concepções em alfabetização no Brasil, recorrendo-se a trabalhos científicos e órgãos censitários (IBGE); culminando na participação de três professoras que alfabetizam. A construção da relação entre os princípios didáticos e as concepções em alfabetização foi se estabelecendo na e por meio da interação com essas professoras. Nessa relação de interlocução, desenvolvida por entrevistas, professoras e pesquisadora iam construindo, juntas, possibilidades de reflexão da práxis pedagógica no processo de alfabetização, por meio das peças didáticas.

Full textAbstract:
The history of Bertolt Brecht’s play Leben des Galilei extends through the writing of its three versions during 1938 to 1955—a period of two decades that also encompassed the entirety of the Second World War. The period also covers the atom bomb from its development to America’s use of the bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the beginning of the Cold War, which included the sustained threat that nuclear weapons might be used any day. This thesis traces, and offers interpretations of, changes in Brecht’s Leben des Galilei from its inception in 1938–1939—when the protagonist, a scientist, is portrayed in a positive light—through the play’s American version in 1947, where it bitterly accuses science and scientists of having betrayed society and humanity, and finally to its last version in 1955, where the protagonist struggles to prevent the normalization—the familiarization—of the threat of nuclear warfare.
Next to the writing of the Leben des Galilei, the thesis also focuses on the main critical readings of the play. A large fraction of the critical readings, but not all of them, interpret the play either as a judgment of science or as an invitation to pass judgment on science.
The thesis compares Leben des Galilei with three different groups of other texts. The first comparison is with two other plays that also address the problem of science in the age of nuclear weapons, and the second comparison is with other work of Brecht himself. The first comparison leads to the observation that the muted note of optimism in the final version of Leben des Galilei is exceptional, and the second comparison to the apparently unrelated observation that it was uncharacteristic of Brecht to make explicit a certain literary allusion in Leben des Galilei. The two observations converge to a possible common explanation from a comparison with a still third group of texts, a cycle of Native American myths which appear in the oral traditions of various Native American tribes spread throughout the New World.
Finally, the thesis addresses the question of why a modern-day literary text, addressing the essentially modern problem of nuclear warfare, and addressing that problem using the essentially modern techniques of Brechtian theatre, might have structures parallel to the structures of primitive mythology.

Com esse procedimento, identificam-se alguns encontros e desencontros da poética de Boal com certas perspectivas brechtianas. Para mais compreensão desses momentos, a seguinte divisão é realizada: 1) alguns encontros e desencontros históricos; 2) alguns encontros e desencontros políticos; 3) alguns encontros e desencontros estéticos. Tal procedimento serve apenas como organização temática, não anulando o fato de se discutir, de forma correlacionada os aspectos históricos, políticos e estéticos na produção de Augusto Boal. Ao se levantarem determinadas hipóteses, muitos pontos de intersecção surgem e contribuem para entender não apenas o teatro de Boal, mas também a representação que a sua obra tem para a história do teatro brasileiro. Nesse contexto, não é possível tratar do teatro de esquerda no Brasil, sem abordar a chegada da obra de Brecht no país. Em razão disso, aparece o pressuposto de que compreender a importância do teatro de Augusto Boal significa entender como o trabalho de Brecht serve de modelo para o desenvolvimento da poética do brasileiro.
The objective of this research is to discuss some aspects of the theatrical context of Augusto Boal, whose aesthetic-political paradigm is the poetics of Bertolt Brecht. With this procedure, some agreements and disagreements of Boal's poetic are identified with certain prospects of Brecht. In order to fully understand it, the following division is carried out: 1) some historical agreements and disagreements; 2) some political agreements and disagreements; 3) some aesthetic agreements and disagreements. This procedure only serves as a thematic organization, not changing the importance of discussing, in a correlated way, the historical, political and aesthetic production of Augusto Boal. While considering certain hypotheses, many crossover points arise and help to understand not only the theater of Boal, but also the significance that his work has for the history of Brazilian theater. In this context, it is not possible to deal with the left-wing theater in Brazil without addressing the arrival of Brecht's work in the country. As a result, there is an assumption that understanding the importance of Augusto Boal theater means understanding how Brecht's work serves as a model for the development of Brazilian poetic.

Full textAbstract:
When Bertolt Brecht flees Nazi Germany in 1933 he spends fourteen years in exile where he writes some of his most significant works, among them, Leben des Galilei. In his Leben des Galilei, Brecht explores the relationship between the individual and society. Using the historical Galileo Galilei as context, Brecht elucidates the responsibility that scientists must accept for how their discoveries are put to use. With his Galilei figur, Brecht expresses his belief that scientific advancement should be employed for the societal advancement of the common person. Brecht wrote three versions of his Galilei work, each showing significant parallels to Brecht's experiences during the corresponding time period of his exile. This thesis will illustrate these parallels. It will first show that the Galilei thematic is to be found in the very first years of Brecht's exile. It then deals with the influences surrounding the writing of the first version while Brecht is in Denmark. The second part of the thesis focuses on Brecht's exile in America and the resulting second version of his Galilei work. Here, working with Charles Laughton on an English translation of the work, Brecht's Galilei undergoes a fundamental change. Brecht attempts to alter the positive perception of the first version's Galileo who cleverly outwits the Inquisition and secretly has his work the Discorsi smuggled out of Italy. Brecht now wants to portray Galileo as a traitor of the people, who missed his chance to help the common people overcome the suppression they were subjected to. This change is strongly influenced by Brecht's experiences in America and the dawning of the Atomic Age. The last section of the thesis deals with Brecht's return to Europe and the third version of Leben des Galilei written in East Berlin. This is a result of translating the American version into German and the addition of scenes and individual elements cut from the first version to make it more appropriate for American audiences. Brecht maintains and tries to heighten the negative portrayal of Galileo as traitor of the common people.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation interprets Brecht's Mutter Courage through its protagonist. Most interpreters have derived Courage's meaning from only one term of the contradiction of merchant and mother that constitutes her, either blaming the inhuman, war-mongering merchant for her participation in war, or defending the vital, productive, and nurturing mother for that same (unavoidable) participation. Some have stressed instead the unity formed by Courage's contradiction, without being able to elucidate its meaning. The present interpretation, proceeding from a clue given in scene 7 to the meaning of the text, draws parallels between the drama and Brecht's view of the world, and shows that the world of Mutter Courage is the symbolic representation of capitalism as Brecht knew it during the rise of fascism and the approach of the Second World War. Courage is then shown to be a concentrated form of this symbolic representation; indeed, she turns out to be a representation of capitalism in its "totality". This representation is inseparable from the invocation, through Courage, of the Great Mother archetype. The Great Mother describes a contradictory capitalism that is both a Good Mother in its promising productivity, and a Terrible Mother in its destructive warring and oppression; but she, as the symbol of Nature, also describes a capitalism that had begun to seem even to Brecht like a second Nature. Courage also represents the totality of capitalism (as the Marxist Brecht saw it) by embodying both its "affirmative" aspect (as a merchant who engenders soldiering sons), and (undermining the archetype of the Great Mother) its "critical" aspect as the representation of the resistance of the oppressed to their warring world (as the outlaw who engenders a daughter who rebels against war).

Este trabalho busca uma forma de leitura do trabalho estético de bertolt Brecht. Para alcançar esse objetivo, o texto de Brecht Kleines Organon für das Theater será analisado seguindo um caminho significativo. A hipótese é que cada palavra no trabalho de Brecht crie um campo de significação no qual um conceito é desenvolvido. Cada conceito pode interferir no significado de outro conceito criando um grande campo de contaminação chamado contexto. Embora certos termos do teatro de Brecht sejam bem conhecidos é necessário construir uma nova relação que possa suportar a formulação desses conceitos conhecidos relacionados com um novo tipo de estética. É demonstrado através da análise que este novo conceito de estética é o elemento que pode alterar todos os conceitos anteriores à própria estética de Brecht. Eles são alterados ao mesmo tempo em que alteram, visto que tomam posturas contraditórias, um em relação ao outro, mas também em relação a eles mesmos. As contradições geram um movimento, que se torna a condição de existência de tudo de acordo com a teoria de Brecht.
This work pursuits a form of reading Bertolt Brecht’s aesthetic work. In order to achieve this goal, Brecht’s text Kleines Organon für das Theater will be analyzed following a signifying way. The hypothesis is that each single word in Brecht’s work creates a meaning field where a concept is developed. Each concept can interfere in the meaning of another concept, creating a big field of contamination called context. Although certain terms of Brecht’s theater are very known it is necessary to build a new relation, which can support the formulation of these well known concepts linked with a new kind of aesthetics. It is showed through the analysis that this new concept of aesthetics is the element which can change all the former concepts. They are changed at the same time that they change, inasmuch as they take contradictory positions, one against others and also in relation to themselves. The contradictions generate a movement, that turns out to be the condition of existence of everything according to Brecht’s theory.

Full textAbstract:
Le Minjok-guk, sorte de théâtre populaire ou d’intervention coréen, dont l’évolution de l’esthétique, depuis les années 1970, mais qui se poursuit encore de nos jours, repose sur des traditions folkloriques, possède étonnamment avec le Théâtre de Brecht certains points communs, en tant que théâtres non aristotéliciens, de par leurs structures dramatiques ouvertes, leurs références directes à des problèmes sociaux, les rôles du narrateur et des musiciens, le refus du quatrième mur, la non-identification du public aux personnages présents sur scène. Cette recherche s’efforce donc de déterminer d’où proviennent véritablement le concept théâtral et les effets de distanciation présents dans le théâtre populaire coréen, mais aussi de cerner le rôle du spectateur lors de la représentation théâtrale, éléments qui révèlent toutefois des différences fondamentales entre le théâtre oriental héritier de théâtres traditionnels et le théâtre occidental basé sur le réalisme ainsi que sur une toute autre histoire culturelleThe Minjok-guk is a genre of popular Korean play or theatrical intervention, the esthetics of which have, from the 1970s until today, been based on popular folk traditions, but which also show a surprising commonality with those of Brechtian Theater. Both theater genres are derived from a non-Aristotelian tradition, share open dramatic structures, make direct reference to social issues, have interactive/participating roles for the narrator and musicians, deny the ‘fourth wall’, and are characterized by the non-identification of the audience with the characters on stage. Thus, this research seeks to identify the true source behind the Korean conception of popular theater and the alienating effects present therein. It also seeks to analyze the role that the spectators play in the production, elements of which reveal fundamental differences between eastern theater, heir to certain traditional forms, as compared to western drama’s realism with its roots emanating from an entirely different cultural heritage

Este trabalho estuda a construção da cena nas montagens brechtianas dirigidas por Irene Brietzke, destacada diretora gaúcha das últimas décadas do século passado, buscando documentar e resgatar seu processo criativo, analisar os pontos de contato e as divergências com as teorias formuladas por Bertolt Brecht e fazer um levantamento iconográfico das mesmas. Resgatamos a memória das peças brechtianas, uma a cada capítulo, através das respectivas fichas técnicas, fotos, declarações e matérias publicadas na imprensa e dos depoimentos colhidos com Brietzke. É utilizado o nome dos espetáculos para denominar os capítulos e em cada um deles a discussão é focalizada sobre os pontos teóricos que a encenação sugere e que são relacionados com questões como a inserção histórica das montagens, o pós-brechtiano e o pós-dramático, o efeito de estranhamento, a recepção teatral, o papel da música na encenação e a construção da cena. Este trabalho articula diálogos com as vozes e idéias de Bertolt Brecht, Gerd Bornheim, Hans-Thyes Lehmann, Patrice Pavis, Marco de Marinis, entre outros. Buscamos destacar os principais diferenciais de seu trabalho, como o uso das comédias, debochadas e escrachadas, da presença marcante e essencial da música na cena brietzkiana, o grau de fidelidade à Brecht e várias outras questões que transpassam a obra de Brietzke.The purpose of this paper is to study the scenery construction in the Brechtian setting productions directed by Mrs. Irene Brietzke, distinguished “gaucha” stage director in the last decades of the 20th Century, in an attempt to document and retrieve her creative process, to analyze the contact points and divergences connected to the theories stated by Bertolt Brecht, and to conduct an iconographic survey of them all. We retrieve the memory of the Brechtian pieces, one in each chapter, by means of their respective technical files, pictures, statements and articles set forth in the press, and the testimonies gathered with Brietzke. The names of the public performances are utilized to denominate the chapters, the discussion in each one is focused on the theoretical points the stage plays suggest and are related to matters, such as the historical insertion of productions, the post-Brechtian and the postdramatic, the strangeness effect, the theatric reception, the music role in the production and the scene construction. This paper articulates dialogs with voices and ideas of Bertolt Brecht, Gerd Bornheim, Hans-Thyes Lehmann, Patrice Pavis, Marco de Marinis, among others. We try to highlight the main differentials of her work, such as the comedies’ use, mocking and quizzical style, the essential and noteworthy presence of the music in the Brietzkian scene, the extent of faithfulness degree to Brecht and many other questions that overstep the Brietzke’s work.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude s'intéresse à Jeanne d'Arc, plus particulièrement à deux de ses avatars littéraires, la salutiste de B. Brecht et la suppliciée de P. Claudel. Elle n'a pas pour objet la recherche d'une symbiose de ces deux écrivains contrastés, mais la découverte par le truchement de leur protagoniste de champs de taches tantôt différentes tantôt similaires, se recoupant plus souvent qu'il ne nous était donné de l'imaginer. Pour ce faire, elle s'articule autour de plusieurs chapitres allant du concret vers l'abstrait. Le premier relate le contexte historique et littéraire des pièces de notre corpus, Die Heilige Johanna de Schlachthofe (1928-1932) et Jeanne au bucher (1934). Le deuxième étudiant la genèse et les variantes de ces drames met en lumière l'esprit de coopération, le regard critique et l'attirance scénique de leur auteur. Le troisième témoigne de l'attitude complexe adoptée par ces écrivains à l'égard du personnage historique qui devient alors un prête-nom servant à l'élaboration d'un récit politise pour le marxiste, à la création d'une œuvre spiritualisée pour le mystique. La sainte de la patrie française a laissé place à une conscience enténébrée parvenant à la connaissance en suivant un itinéraire retrace dans le dernier chapitre; un cheminement initiatique qui valorise la nécessité du sacrifice humain et unit par l’ anthropocentrisme brechtien et théocentrisme claudélienThis study focuses on Joan of arc, and particularly on two of her literary manifestations, Brecht’s salvationist and Claudel’s tortured maid. It does not strive to operate the symbiosis of these two contrasting writers but to uncover through their protagonist two types of work which are both different and a like at different times, and which overlap more often than is usually thought. The progression is over several chapters which range from the real to the abstract. Chapter i looks at the historical and literary context of the two plays under scruting Die Heilige Johanna der schlachthofe (1928-1932) and Jeanne au bucher (1934). Chapter 2 studies the genesis of the two dramas featuring Joan but also the differences between them, the spirit of cooperation, the critical stance and stagecraft of each playwright. Chapter 3 testifies to the complex approach that both authors use regarding the historical figure. They both make her into a figurehead allowing the marxist to work out a politicized tale and the mystic to create a spiritualized work. The saint of French patriots has been eschewed in favor of a heroin whose murky conscience reaches knowledge at the end of a progress mapped out in the last chapter. Joan's initiatory journey enhances the necessity of human sacrifice, thereby uniting Brecht’s anthropocentrism and Claudel’s theocentric vision

Full textAbstract:
L'étude du grotesque dans le théâtre de jeunesse de B. Brecht permet d'aborder un aspect de cette œuvre que la critique a trop souvent délaissé au profit de la comparaison avec le théâtre épique et didactique. La catégorie du grotesque, liée en Allemagne au théâtre depuis le 18eme siècle, et de prime abord rejetée par les fondateurs du théâtre national, resurgit avec force au début du 20eme siècle et devient l'expression de la révolte contre un système normatif trop rigide. Brecht participe de ce mouvement, mais il le marque aussi de son sceau : il associe le grotesque au matérialisme hérité de Wedekind, aux arts mineurs et à la culture populaire, et il le dirige contre la "vieille dramaturgie" dont il éprouve ainsi les valeurs. Ce débat avec la tradition s'effectue par le développement d'une langue foisonnante qui vient interroger radicalement le théâtre du texte, et par le privilège accorde au corps allié au bas comique et à la théâtralité, opposés à l'héroïsme, au pathétique et au tragique. La multiplicité formelle et conceptuelle des textes étudiés, la plupart inédits, permet de conclure à l'émergence dans ces années d'une dramaturgie expérimentaleStudying the grotesque in the theatre of the young B. Brecht provides the opportunity to consider one aspect that the former studies has left aside privileging the comparison with the epic and didactic theatre. Since the eighteenth century, the grotesque category has been associated with theatre and was immediately rejected by the founders of the national theatre. It resurrects at the beginning of the twentieth century and becomes an expression of a revolt against a normative and rigid artistic system. Brecht is involved in this movement, but also imprints his own mark on it. He means the grotesque as a form of materialism inherited from Wedekind, with minor arts and popular culture. He uses the grotesque against the traditional drama and challenges its values. This debate with the tradition is not only done through the development of a teeming style that radically questions the text-based theatre. It is also the result of the major role played by the human body, associated with law comedy and theatricality as opposed to heroism, pathos and tragedy. The formal and conceptual multiplicity of the texts under study, most of them unpublished, shows that during these years an experimental drama was emerging

Resumo: Este trabalho consiste em uma leitura do livro O método Brecht de Fredric Jameson. Um dos mais importantes teóricos do pós-modernismo, Jameson, discute nesse livro a validade de Brecht para os dias de hoje e demonstra como as ideias, narrativas e linguagem brechtianas constituem um método que também se confunde com certa atitude dialética. Devido à complexidade da exposição de Jameson, foram eleitos alguns fios condutores para organizar as discussões. Os objetivos do trabalho são, portanto, explorar os argumentos do crítico, desemaranhá-los e tentar explicitar seu funcionamento, em especial no contexto brasileiro. Para esse propósito, procedeu-se uma leitura detalhada das proposições de Jameson e foram levadas em conta outras contribuições de estudiosos a respeito dos mesmos temas. Os resultados foram três textos que constituem os capítulos desse trabalho: uma reflexão sobre o histórico de Brecht no Brasil confrontada aos pressupostos e conhecimentos necessários à leitura de O método Brecht, uma paráfrase das ideias e hipóteses principais do livro juntamente com a discussão sobre a centralidade do ator no trabalho brechtiano e, por fim, o comentário sobre a própria escrita de Jameson
Abstract: This work consists of a reading of Fredric Jameson's book, Brecht and Method. One of the most important theorists of postmodernism, Jameson discusses in this book the validity of Brecht to the present day; he shows how ideas, narratives and language make up a brechtian method that also merges with what could be called a dialectical attitude. Due to the complexity of Jameson?s exposition, some theoretical threads were choosen to organize the discussion. The objectives of this study are therefore exploring the critic?s arguments, unraveling them and trying to explain the way they operate, particularly in the Brazilian context. For this purpose, a detailed reading of Jameson?s propositions was carried out and contributions from other scholars about the same topics were taken into account. From that the three chapters this thesis result: a confrontation between the reflection on Brecht's history in Brazil and an explanation of the knowledge required to read Brecht and Method, a paraphrase of the book's main ideas and hypothesis along with the discussion of the centrality of the actor in Brechtian work and, finally, a commentary on Jameson's writing

Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail porte sur le concept de liberté dans les théâtres de Bertolt Brecht et d'Aimé Césaire. La première partie se penche sur les discours des pôles conflictuels et relève les registres discursifs qui structurent et fixent les antagonismes dans les positions sociales et idéologiques. Cette approche tend à montrer la dualité qui sous-tend les œuvres des deux dramaturges. Les techniques langagières souscrivent a une esthétique concourant à éclairer les situations des protagonistes. La deuxième partie étudie les personnages. Le premier chapitre s'intéresse au héros et à sa dimension sociale et le second, à la relation qu'entretiennent le pouvoir et le peuple. La notion d'héroïsme chez Brecht demeure en étroite relation avec les conditions du peuple. L'action du héros se fond dans la masse en vue de l'émergence d'un "héroïsme" collectif. Chez Césaire, le héros s'inspire de sa réalité historique et mobilise son peuple à l'action afin de refonder le présent. Chez chacun des deux écrivains le pouvoir dominant se caractérise par sa violence et une tendance à l'hégémonie. Le peuple brechtien se pose comme acteur dynamique visant à un réel bouleversement social et idéologique. Chez Césaire, le peuple est à la croisée des chemins et n'accède que progressivement à la mesure historique de sa condition. La troisième partie fait état des configurations spatiales et temporelles. Elle s'attache à voir la représentation de l'espace et du temps dans les antagonismes ainsi que leur dimension esthétique au plan scénique dans une démarche globale tendant à la liberté. L'espace et le temps participent à la structuration d'une atmosphère carcérale. Les espaces et temps sociaux montrent les différents aspects des rapports conflictuels. L'incompatibilité entre le présent et les aspirations à la liberté motive la quête des personnages en vue d'une réelle prise en main de leur destinThis understudy work deals with the concept of freedom in Bertolt Brecht's and Aimé Césaire's theatres. The first part looks into the discourses of conflictual centres. It collects the discursive registers that structure and fix the antagonisms in social and ideological positions. This approach tends to show the duality underlying the works of the two playwrights. The linguistic techniques subscribe for an aesthetic leading to throw light on the protagonists' situations. The second part studies the characters. The first chapter takes an interest in the hero and in his social dimension and the second part deals with the links existing between of heroism in brecht's work lies in tight relation with the people's conditions of living. The hero's action dissolves in the masses in order to create a collective heroism. In Césaire's work, the hero is inspired by his historical reality and mobilizes his people to action in order to found the present again. In each of these two writers, the dominating power is characterizedby its violence and a tendency to hegemony. The Brecht people pose as dynamic actor to a real social and ideological upheaval. In Césaire's work, the people stand at the crossroads and have gradually access to the historical approach of their condition. The third part develops spatial and temporal configurations. It pays particular attention to show the representation of the space and the time in the antagonisms as well as their aesthetic dimension in the theatrical level into a global process leading to freedom. The space and the time participate in a structuration of a prison atmosphere. The social times and spaces show the different aspects of conflictual relations. The incompatibility between the present and the aspirations to freedom motivate the quest of a true control of their destiny by the characters

O trabalho proposto nesta dissertação tem como objetivo abordar algumas funções pertinentes ao teatro: a política, a terapêutica, a social e a pedagógica. Para isso, o estudo analisa três teóricos que nas suas práticas, enfatizaram essas funções, o dramaturgo alemão Bertolt Brecht, o médico romeno Jacob Levi Moreno e o diretor teatral brasileiro Augusto Boal. As modificações que esses autores trouxeram com suas teorias e práticas, bem como, as relações criadas com a plateia. Um público sentado e incomodado com o teor político do texto no teatro de Brecht; mas que sobe ao palco, sai de seus assentos e acaba assumindo outros papéis nos teatros de Moreno e Boal. O trabalho também é uma reflexão sobre os papéis que o autor vem exercendo de professor e de diretor teatral com jovens e adultos da periferia de Brasília: Varjão, Taguatinga e Ceilândia, adicionado a isso, eu procuro estabelecer relações entre a minha prática e os teóricos citados. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT

The modifications what these authors brought with their theories and practices, as wall as, the relations grow up with the audience. A public sitting and bothered by the political drift of the text in the theater of Brecht, but that rises to the stage, leaves from their seats and finishes taking over other papers in the theaters of Moreno and Boal. This project is also a reflection related to the functions that the author has been working as a teacher and a theatrical director with young persons and adults of the periphery of Brasília: Varjão, Taguatinga and Ceilândia, in addition to this fact; I intend to make links between my practice and the theorists studied.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat de philosophie, initiée en 2005, a pour objet d’étude l’œuvre poétique de l’écrivain allemand Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956). Par son titre (« Le poème instrument »), elle entend désigner une contradiction consubstantielle à tout art politique et singulièrement radicalisée dans l’écriture poétique : celle qui oppose la pratique d’un art lyrique, valant pour lui-même, et la revendication d’une utilité sociale de l’écriture, qui la soumet à une finalité extérieure. En assumant dans son écriture cette exigence instrumentale, le poète s’expose en effet au risque de succomber à la fonctionnalisation de la langue, telle que justement la raison marchande la soutient et à laquelle il s’agit cependant de s’opposer. Comment la poésie peut-elle se définir comme instrument sans abolir la teneur proprement artistique de sa production ? Comment maintenir dans un même geste la consistance poétique et l’efficacité politique ?Cette thèse étudie le corpus des poèmes brechtiens écrits depuis le milieu des années 1920 jusqu’à la fin des années 1940 avec pour ambition de repérer les opérations formelles que le poète mobilise dans chacun des moments politiques qu’il rencontre : la République de Weimar (la poésie cynique), le Troisième Reich (la poésie anti-fasciste), la seconde Guerre mondiale (la poésie d’exil). Nous entendons montrer la façon dont un matérialisme singulier s’y élabore, dans un rapport à la fois inventif et dissident à l’égard la tradition dialectique marxisteInitiated in 2005, this doctoral thesis in philosophy aims to study the poetry of the German writer Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956). By its title ("The poem instrument"), it means to explain a contradiction inherent in any political art, and especially emphasized in poetical writing: the one between the practice of lyrical arts, valuable per se, and the claim for a social purpose of writing, which submits it to an outside finality. By undertaking this instrumental necessity in his writing, the poet expose himself to the functionalisation of language, this very functionalisation that is supported by the market means which the poet however intends to deal with. How can poetry define itself as a tool, without abolishing the specifically artistic content of its production? How to maintain poetic consistency and political efficiency simultaneously ?This thesis examines the corpus of Brechtian poems written from the mid-1920s until the late 1940s. It aims at identifying the formal operations that the poet engages for each political moments he faces : the Weimar Republic (cynical poetry), the Third Reich (anti-fascist poetry), the second World War (the poetry of exile). We intend to show how a specific materialism is being developed, in a both inventive and dissent relation to the traditional Marxist dialectic

O presente estudo, após uma breve descrição sobre democracia diante as colaborações teóricas de Giovani Sartori (1994), Robert Dahl (1997) e Joseph Schumpeter (1984), teve por norte analisar, sob o enfoque de Marilena Chauí (2001), a relevância da cidadania para o contexto participativo do aluno na Gestão Democrática Escolar. Neste sentido, fundamenta a dialogicidade como categoria analítica e, através das colaborações teóricas de Mikhail Bakhtin, Walter Benjamin, Bertolt Brecht, Augusto Boal e Paulo Freire, colabora com a proposição de um instrumento de participação do aluno para o Centro de Ensino Médio 417 de Santa Maria, Distrito Federal. Por meio de exercícios de experimentação e oficina com a peça didática “A Exceção e a Regra”, de Bertolt Brecht, propõe a integração entre pesquisa-ação e modelo de ação, apresentando uma proposta metodológica estético-social, aqui denominada prática-ação.

It is based on works of leading experts on the topic.The main objective of this study is to analyze my own acting experience gained in Univerzity Theatre Disk and other theatrical or non theatrical spaces, map the trends and development of auditorium and stage and their subsequent effect on actor´s performance and overall perception of the audience. The relationship between an actor and his audience in each specific performance is created due to many factors such as social facilitation, form of dramatic space and unique communication proces between those who create theatre and their recipients.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is based on the author?s experience of directing J. Ford, Th. Dekker, and W. Rowley?s play The Witch of Edmonton (1621) in Divadlo DISK in February 2012 as a final performance in his Directing Master Studies at the Theatre Faculty. What is at stake in reviving such a little-known play of the Jacobean era, and performing it in Czech Republic? Can a text written as a reaction to a precise event (a real witch trial) and built as a quasi-documentary depiction of the society of the time, within the aesthetic codes of the time, be relevant material for a lively performance today? This thesis argues that yes, and that The Witch of Edmonton can actually be the starting point of what can be ?political theatre? in a form not only belonging to a long tradition of committed entertainment (the play?s prologue promising us ?mirth and matter?), but especially relevant to today?s audiences and artistic stakes. The first part of the thesis is a detailed contextual analysis of the play, the historical period in which it was written, the conditions of performance of the time, the material it is based on and the way it was dramaturgically built as ?political?. The second part focuses on the author?s analytical attempts to extract the text from its historical context, in particular through comparative history and history of ideas and using the concepts of Brecht?s epic theatre, depicting also how this research served as a preparation for the concept of his performance, a concept that is then explicated in detail. The third and last part is a short account and reflection about the rehearsal process and its outcome from the director?s point of view, making a final statement on the achieved practical work.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporains capitaux, mythifiés de leur vivant, Artaud et Brecht sont morts en ignorant tout l’un de l’autre. Ce tandem imaginaire s’est néanmoins vu érigé en grand antagonisme de l’avant-garde. Au dualisme théâtral Cruauté vs Distanciation se sont superposées les confrontations esthétiques (performance vs brechtisme), politiques (situationnistes vs staliniens), idéologiques (transgression libertaire vs totalisation marxiste), philosophiques (critique postmoderne vs rationalisme occidental).Par-delà cette réduction instrumentale à deux machines de guerre théoriques adverses, un enjeu essentiel unit pourtant Brecht et Artaud : comment changer le monde ou la vie ? De cette Révolution infinie dont le théâtre n’est qu’un aspect, cette thèse explore les sens par la comparaison de leurs œuvres complètes en croisant littérature, philosophie et politique. Au-delà d’options divergentes, Artaud et Brecht partagent des problèmes, des rejets, des axes. I. Mythologies. Artaud et Brecht traquent la Révolution en brûlant ses mythes : embraser la terre (destruction, dégénérescence, décadence) ; changer la vie (paganisme, anarchismes, avant-gardes) ; transformer le monde (marxisme, indianisme). II. Pathologies. Pour éradiquer la contre-Révolution et canaliser la flambée des masses, ils attaquent la diversion religieuse, l’abrutissement par l’emprise (sexuelle, occulte, idéologique), et la domination (de l’inertie à la fureur fasciste). III. Philosophies & Dramaturgies. Dans le creuset du théâtre, sur deux scènes ontologiques, Brecht et Artaud forgent leurs Révolutions comme saut, dépassement, renversement et commencement. De leur géniale traversée, reste le brasier révolutionnaire de l’œuvreArtaud and Brecht, contemporaries transformed into mythological figures during their own life-times, died without having any knowledge of one another. They became, however, an imaginary couple, as it were, the two great antagonists of the avant-garde. The duality they represented —theatre of cruelty vs. theatre of alienation— acquired further meanings: aesthetic (performance vs. brechtian), political (situationist vs. stalinist), ideological (libertarian transgression vs. Marxist totalisation), and philosophic (post-modernist critique vs. western rationalism).Nevertheless, beyond the polemics, one essential concern united Brecht and Artaud: How to change the world and life? This thesis explores the meanings of that infinite revolution of which the theatre is but one aspect, by comparing their oeuvre as literature, philosophy, and politics. Their positions differed, but Artaud and Brecht shared the same problems and terms of discussion, and rejected the same solutions.I. Mythologies: Both of them pursued revolution while attacking its myths: setting the world alight (destruction, degeneracy, decadence); changing life (paganism, anarchism, the avant-gardes), transforming everything (Marxism, indianism).II. Pathologies: in order to resist Counter-Revolution and focus the ardour of the masses, they attack religion as a diversion; sexual, occult and ideological brutalisation; and all forms of domination (from passivity to fascist frenzy).III. Philosophies and dramaturgies: It is in the theatre that Artaud and Brecht forged their revolutions in the form of great leaps forward, reversals and new beginnings.What remains of their work is its incandescent revolutionary core

Full textAbstract:
Durante o curso académico de 1968/69, o grupo de teatro universitario Circulo de Iniciação Teatral da Academia de Coimbra (CITAC) contrata como director artístico ao catalán Ricard Salvat. Este era unha figura destacada polo seu traballo coa Escola de Arte Dramàtica Adrià Gual (EADAG) e pola súa vertente como profesor e ensaísta, así como polo seu coñecemento das teses teatrais de Bertolt Brecht. Salvat é contratado para realizar un traballo pedagóxico, cun curso de libre inscrición de historia do teatro, e un traballo artístico, coa preparación de dous espectáculos co CITAC. O primeiro destes espectáculos, titulado Brecht + Brecht, aborda as teses brechtianas dun modo práctico ao tempo que reflexiona sobre acontecementos históricos como o crack da bolsa de 1929, sendo acollido polo público con grande interese. O segundo espectáculo estaba destinado a ser unha ambiciosa montaxe, relacionada co teatro épico e o teatro documento e con colaboradores estranxeiros do nome de Luís Seoane ou Isaac Díaz Pardo e a colaboración de músicos como José Niza. Este proxecto, titulado Castelao e a sua época (CSE), pretendía ser un diálogo entre culturas ibéricas centrado na figura de Alfonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao, político e artista galego. O texto dramático do espectáculo estaba formado por máis de 140 textos autónomos. Eses textos son de autores, entre outros, como Rosalía de Castro, Joan Maragall, Federico García Lorca, Almada Negreiros ou André Bretón, pertencentes a diferentes campos culturais destacando a presenza portuguesa, galega e catalá.
Infelizmente para o traballo de Salvat, o curso 1968/69 sería lembrado en Coímbra pola Crise Académica de 1969, onde os estudantes se enfrontaron ás autoridades universitarias nun dos desafíos máis famosos á ditadura portuguesa. A policía do Estado Novo, Policia Internacional e de Defesa do Estado (PIDE), nun ataque contra o movemento estudantil, prende e expulsa a Salvat do país o que, sumado á anterior negativa de autorización para a representación de CSE que fora levada polos servizos de censura, fixeron con que o traballo deste segundo espectáculo se perdese. Despois do acontecido, a memoria de CSE foise perdendo co tempo.
Con esta investigación tentamos recuperar, case 50 anos despois da suposta estrea de CSE, o traballo de Salvat en Coimbra, polo que abordamos un estudo do seu curso de teatro, das principais teses teatrais que impulsaban a súa actividade artística en 1969 e presentamos unha edición crítica e comentada do texto dramático de CSE, até o de agora inédito, partindo dos materiais de traballo do grupo e da versión enviada á censura para a súa avaliación. Estudamos tamén as marcas que a censura deixou sobre ese texto así como outros materiais da PIDE sobre director e identificamos as consecuencias artísticas e culturais que dese proxecto falido naceron.During the 1968/69 academic year, the university theatre group Circulo de Iniciação Teatral da Academia de Coimbra (CITAC) hired the Catalan playwright Ricard Salval as artistic director. He was well-known for his work at the Escola de Arte Dramática Adrià Gual (EADAG), and for his activities as a teacher and essayist. Salvat was hired to teach a free registration course on the history of theatre and coordinate two shows at CITAC. The first show, Brecht+Brecht, represented the most serious approach to Brechtian theses made in Portugal until then, and was therefore received by the public with great interest. The second show, Castelao e a súa época (CSE), was conceived as a grand performance combining epic theatre and documentary theatre, and encouraging an Iberian cultural dialogue on the figure of the Galician artist and politician, with the help of artists such as Luís Seoane, Isaac Díaz Pardo and Jose Niza. This drama was composed of 142 autonomous texts written by authors from various literary fields such as Rosalía de Castro, Federico García Lorca, Joan Maragall, Almada Negreiros and André Breton. Unfortunately, the preparation and premiere of this show coincided with a moment of special tension in Portugal known as the 1969 academic crisis. Thus, in an attack on the academic movement, the autorities of the Estado Novo (New State) banned the performance and Ricard Salvat was expelled from the country. Later, the memory of the project was gradually lost. Our research has recovered Salvat’s work in Coimbra, nearly fifty years after the intended premiere of CSE. We have studied his theatre course and the main characteristics of his artistic activity in 1969. Here, we provide a critical and commented edition of the dramatic text of CSE, unpublished until now, based on the materials of the group and on the version delivered to censors for evaluation. We have also examined the marks of censorship in the text and other materials collected by the Portuguese International and State Defense Police (PIDE) about the group director. Lastly, we have identified the artistic and cultural consequences arising from this unsuccessful project.

O objetivo é verificar de que modo o filme de Lars von Trier se organiza como projeto consciente em que as dimensões da forma, do conteúdo e do atrito com o aparelho produtivo não se excluem. Como pressupostos teóricos da concepção de forma, estão os conceitos brechtianos de imagem dialética, estranhamento e gestus, que servem de base à pesquisa do campo temático de Dogville, em torno das relações de trabalho. O estudo ainda discute os efeitos da estrutura teatral com tendências épicas dentro da forma do drama cinematográfico, o sentido autocrítico do filme, e as razões de seu impacto como crítica do aparelho produtivo contemporâneo.This study analyses the film Dogville from the concept of work model created by Bertolt Brecht. The objective is to verify by which means the film of Lars von Trier organizes itself like a conscious project in which the dimension of form, content and the friction with the productive apparatus don\'t exclude each other. As teorical assumptions of form conception are the brechtian notion of dialetic image, strangeness and gestus, which will serve as base of research to the thematic field of Dogville, rounding the work relations. The study also discusses the effects of the theater structure with epic tendencies inside the cinematic dramatic form, the self-criticism sense, and the reasons of its impact as critic of the contemporary productive apparatus.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the theoretical foundations of Brecht's and Sartre's "dialectical" theatre. Proceeding first from their most significant theoretical writings, it then studies representative plays--Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder and Les Mains sales--in an attempt to make explicit the relationship between theory and artistic practice. The textual analysis proper develops certain aspects of theme, structure and reception which in turn reveal meaningful differences and contradictions. Sartre's "dramatic" theatre in fact evidences a sort of ideological creativity whereas Brecht's "epic" theatre presents a more primordial artistic creativity. Therefore, though the concept of dialectical theatre (essentially political and/or historic) is a common thought-structure to both dramatists, its actualization differs. I will argue that Sartre's work shows a view of the art process as ideologically predetermined and almost ineluctable. Brecht's more primordial work, on the other hand, shows process as a creative anagnorisis, more immediate and archetypal. In the last chapter, I will give an overview of the changes in consciousness produced by these approaches of "dialectical" theatre and substantiate these by criticism that has dealt with the subject.

Full textAbstract:
On sait que d'un point de vue idéologique, la théorie théâtrale de Brecht a beaucoup influencé Godard dans la mesure où ce dernier a intégré des dispositifs " brechtiens " dans ses films. C' est pour cela qu'on peut facilement les y repérer. Entre autres, la transformation de la dramaturgie, les références diverses, le carton comme texte, le style documentaire, le film dans le film, l'utilisation de la musique. . . Etc. Pour aborder cette recherche, nous diviserons notre étude en deux parties distinctes. D'une part, nous commencerons par examiner les travaux et la pensée de Godard jusqu'à avant la période militante. D'autre part, en faisant nous baser sur ce point de vue, nous suivrons les activités de Godard, du " Groupe Dziga Vertov " à la période " Sonimage ". A la base de la théorie théâtrale de Brecht, nous étudierons des facteurs similaires aux dispositifs brechtiens dans l' esthétique cinématographique de Godard. En somme, l' objectif de cette recherche consiste à analyser comment Godard a intégré la théorie théâtrale de Brecht dans ses films jusqu'à 1979 et à examiner la relation distanciée entre le film et son spectateur. En outre, en conidérant la relation distanciée entre le film et son spectateur, nous déduirons la transformation du rôle du spectateur vers l' activité intellectuelle: le rôle social du spectateur comme membre actif de la société. Il s'agit, en substance, d'une réflexion sur les dynamiques d'emprise sur le spectateur développées par les travaux de Godard, d'après Brecht. Autrement dit, à l' appui de leurs pensées et positions respectives sur les éléments de distanciation, nous essayerons d'établir une parenté de pensée entre Brecht et Godard quant à la question du rôle social du spectateur.

Hommes de théâtre majeurs au XXe siècle, Pirandello, Artaud et Brecht, cinéphiles, pratiquèrent le cinéma en scénaristes et critiques. Ils songèrent aussi à passer derrière la caméra et à jouer leurs scénarios. Leurs travaux originaux et leurs adaptations sont emblématiques de la passion de nombre d'écrivains dans l'entre-deux guerres, mais aussi des bouleversements que cet art de masse industriel et mondialisé fit subir aux hommes de lettres, à leur situation dans le champ littéraire, à leur statut de créateurs, à leur écriture. Leurs idées cinématographiques furent à la fois liées à leur époque et puissamment originales. Si le parlant et le poids de l'industrie contribuèrent à les éloigner de leurs espoirs, les trois auteurs ne se replièrent qu'apparemment sur le théâtre. Même s'ils feignaient d'ignorer le cinéma, il était présent dans leurs approches théâtrales, dans leurs mises en scènes et leurs ambitions communes de révolutionner le drame traditionnelPirandello, artaud and Brecht played a major role in theatre in the 20th century ; they also liked cinema as film enthusiasts and practiced it as scriptwriters and reviewers. They also sought to go behind the camera and play their scripts. Their original work and their adaptations symbolise the passion that a lot of writers experienced between WWI and WWII, but also the upheaval that this industrial art for the masses brought about for men of letters, for their situation in the literary world, for their status of creators, and for their style of writing. Thier cinematographic ideas both rooted in their time and were extremely original. If talking films and the weight of the industry contributed in dismissing their cinematographic hopes, the three writers chose theatre only apparently. For even if they pretended to ignore cinema, it was nonetheless present in their approaches to theatre , in their ways of directing and in their common ambitions to revolutionize the traditional drama

Maier-Schaeffer, Francine. "Heiner Müller et le "Lehrstück"." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040050.
Full textAbstract:
L'œuvre dramatique de Heiner Müller, confrontation directe avec la théorie et la pratique de la "pièce didactique" de Brecht, est la contribution d'un praticien au débat ouvert par Reiner Steinweg. Le "fragment-fatze", témoin du passage au "lehrstück" opéra par Brecht, est un pivot de l'œuvre de Müller. Il contient les interrogations historiques et politiques qui rapprochent le marxiste des philosophes français contemporains, et l'expérimentation formelle qui place son œuvre dans les courants linguistiques et structurels actuels. Le "cycle d'essais", réflexion sur le rôle de l'écrivain aussi bien qu'entrainement formel, témoigne du passage que Müller opère à son tour d'une dramaturgie classique au "lehrstück". Son œuvre ultérieure dément le constat de la critique selon lequel il aurait abandonné ensuite le "lehrstück" au bénéfice du fragment. Par des transformations formelles radicales, rejet de la fable, utilisation des techniques du collage et du montage, exploration de l'inconscient à la suite des surréalistes, il expérimente une application originale de la théorie brechtienne. Abandonnant la "règle fondamentale" dont Steinweg fit la caractéristique du "lehrstück", ne donnant plus la priorité à la notion d'accord", il développe un aspect qui ne fut pas pris en compte par la réception: le "foyer de peur". Proche du théâtre de la cruauté d'Artaud, mais fidèle aux principes brechtiens, l'œuvre de Müller donne une nouvelle définition et au "lehrstück" et au "fragment" en passant par le "commentaire"Heiner Müller’s dramatic work, a direct confrontation with the theory and practice of the "didactic play" of Brecht, is the contribution of a practician to the debate opened by the scholar Reiner Steinweg. The "fatzer-fragment" which shows the transition instituted by Brecht to the "lehrstück" is a pivot of Müller’s work. It contains the historical and political interrogations which show him to be close to the contemporary French philosophers, and the formal experimenting which places his work within the modern linguistic currents. The "cycle of essays", reflexion of the role of the Marxist writer and training, bears witness to the transition which he has also completed from a classical dramaturgy to the "lehrstück". His later work contradicts the protestations of the critics according to which he has abandoned the "lehrstück" for the fragment. By radical formal transformations, rejection of plot, use of collage and montage techniques, exploration of the unconscious, he tries out an original application of Brecht’s theory. Abandoning the "fundamental rule" which Steinweg made into the chief characteristic of the "lehrstück", but which has proved utopic in the current state of society, no longer giving priority to the notion of "agreement", he develops an aspect which has not been taken into account by the reception: the "focus of fear". Near to the theater of the cruelty of Artaud, his work gives a new definition of the "lehrstück " and of the "fragment"

Composed for soprano, tenor, and baritone voices, woodwind, percussion, and string instruments, Three Voices is a polyglotic work that includes German, Chinese, and Spanish texts. The texts are chosen from Brecht Bertolt's Das Schiff, Po Chu I's Lang T'ao Sha, and Frederico Garcia Lorcá's Mar. Significant features of the piece are 1) application of Chinese operatic singing methods to vocal material in the sections that use Chinese text, 2) use of western instruments to emulate the sound of certain Chinese instruments, and 3) employment of Sprechstimme and dramatically inflected speech to create theatrical effects and highlight the sections that use German and Spanish texts.

Full textAbstract:
Plusieurs ouvrages de Jacques-Pierre Amette centrés sur de grandes figures d'écrivains (au premier rang desquels Brecht et Voltaire) font l'objet de cette thèse. Ils ressortissent au genre de la fiction biographique et l'intertextualité y joue un rôle constitutif. La question de la référence, et plus exactement de la relation complexe que la fiction biographique entretient avec le référent historique, constitue l'un des pivots de la réflexion. Le processus de fictionnalisation du vécu et de l'œuvre (ainsi que des discours critiques inspirés par elle), qui est au cœur des interrogations actuelles sur le genre de la biographie romancée, est envisagé ici à la lumière d'un nombre important de travaux récents, dont les thèses sont exposées et mises à l'épreuve systématiquement. L'un des enjeux de cette étude est de tenter de décrire ce qui fait la spécificité du traitement de ce genre par J.-P. Amette. L'hypothèse envisagée est que cette spécificité pourrait tenir à l'investissement, selon des modalités particulières, du mythe d'Icare dans la représentation de l'Ecrivain, Au sein de cette interprétation, dont la démonstration s'appuie pour les interroger sur les propositions de la sémiotique riffaterrienne de l'intertextualité, prend place un questionnement de la figure auctoriale, qui renvoie à l'une des préoccupations majeures de J.-P. Amette, à savoir le statut de l'écrivain contemporainSeveral works by Jacques-Pierre Amette, which focus on great writers such as Brecht and Voltaire, comprise the subject of this dissertation. They arise out of the genre of biographical fiction, and intertextuality plays an essential role in them. The question of reference generally, and more particularly the complex relationship between biographical fiction and the historical referent, constitutes a primary area of reflection. The process of fictionalization of lived experience and the literary work (as well as critical discourses inspired by it), which is at the heart of current analyses of the fictionalized biography, is envisioned here in light of numerous recent works, the main arguments of which are explored and systematically challenged. One of the purposes of this study is to attempt to describe the specificity with which J-P Amette treats this genre. The hypothesis set forth is that this specificity could privilege the myth of Icarus as a representation of the writer, according to particular modalities. At the heart of this interpretation, the demonstration of which will involve an interrogation of Riffaterrianne semiotics of intertextuality, an examination of the authorial figure emerges, which reiterates one of Amette’s major preoccupations, namely the status of the contemporary writer

Em Portugal, durante o Estado Novo, apesar de a comissão de censura proibir a obra do dramaturgo alemão Bertolt Brecht (1889-1956), os dramaturgos, atores e diretores conseguiram, de alguma forma, adquirir conhecimento sobre os pressupostos do teatro épico brechtiano e praticá-los nas suas criações dramatúrgicas e encenações. Assim, algumas das peças produzidas pela dramaturgia portuguesa na segunda metade do século XX, além de explorarem freqüentemente temas históricos – a fim de tratar do passado com vistas a analisar o momento presente –, anunciavam a estética do teatro épico de Brecht como uma inovação das formas dramáticas praticadas até então. Frutos da perspectiva brechtiana de teatro épico, O render dos heróis (1960), de José Cardoso Pires (1925-1998) e Felizmente há luar! (1961), de Luís de Sttau Monteiro (1926-1993) constituem o corpus desta Dissertação de Mestrado. Essas peças apresentam no seu enredo fatos remanescentes ou antecedentes da Revolução Liberal de 1820, com o objetivo de – por meio da alegoria – levar o leitor / espectador a uma análise crítica da situação político-social de Portugal sob o regime ditatorial de António de Oliveira Salazar. Analisamos as formas de apropriação do efeito de distanciamento – elemento caracterizador do teatro épico brechtiano – nessas peças, bem como a relação delas com o período político marcado pela censura salazarista. Para isso, a nossa base teórica é constituída principalmente pelas teorias acerca do teatro épico de Brecht, considerando-as no contexto do teatro português da década de 1960.
In Portugal, during the Estado Novo period, although the censorship committee prohibited the work by German dramatist Bertolt Brecht (1889-1959), dramatists, actors, and directors were able to, somehow, acquire knowledge concerning the assumptions of Brechtian epic theater and put them into practice in their dramaturgical creations and staging. This way, some of the plays produced by Portuguese dramaturgy in the second half of the 20th century, besides frequently approaching historical themes (in order to discuss the past aiming at analyzing the present), articulated the aesthetics of Brecht’s epic theater as an innovation of drama performed up to that point. Results of Brechtian perspective on epic theater, O render dos heróis (1960), by José Cardoso Pires (1925-1998) and Felizmente há luar! (1961), by Luís de Sttau Monteiro (1926-1993) are the corpus of this Master Degree’s dissertation. These plays have, in their plots, facts which are reminiscent or antecedent of the Liberal Revolution in 1820, with the objective of – through its allegory – leading the reader to a critical analysis of Portugal’s social-political situation under António de Oliveira Salazar’s dictatorship regime. Analyze appropriation forms and the elaboration of the distancing effect – characteristic elements in Brechtian theater – in these plays, as well as the relation between these plays and the political period marked by the Salazarian dictatorship. For that matter, our theoretical foundation is mainly made up by theories regarding Brecht’s epic theater, considering them in the Portuguese theater context in the 1960s.

Full textAbstract:
Se dégageant du point de vue spiritualiste et idéaliste caractérisant la critique poétique contemporaine, ce travail vise à remettre en question la conception d'une poésie par principe détachée de tout enjeu politique et prend en charge des textes en partie exclus du canon poétique. Centré sur la politisation des poésies françaises, anglaises et allemandes dans l’entre-deux-guerres européen, le projet est historique et dresse une vision globale mais analytique des liens entre la poésie et la politique d’un point de vue à la fois théorique et historique. Le corpus central réunit L. Aragon, W. H. Auden et Bertolt Brecht et s’étend ponctuellement à A. Breton, X. de Magallon, S. Spender, C. Day Lewis, T. S. Eliot, E. Pound, W. Lewis, G. Benn, V. Maïakovski, R. Alberti, etc. Les trois auteurs principaux permettent une aisance méthodologique et conduisent l’évocation des réseaux littéraires européens et de certains effets de réception. L’étude prend aussi en compte certains titres de presse et revues littéraires variés (La N.R.f., Commune, Eurydice, The Criterion, The Left Review, Die neue Rundschau, Das Wort, etc.). La première partie de l’étude dresse un tableau historique des incompatibilités entre le genre poétique et l’exercice de la politique dans l’entre-deux-guerres, autour des querelles sur la « propagande » et la « poésie pure ». Analytique, la deuxième étudie les stratégies de l’inscription historique et de l’action politique à l’œuvre dans l’écriture et la publication des textes. La troisième partie livre un questionnement théorique sur le lien entre les poètes politiques et le temps en étudiant d’abord leur rapport avec la poésie des siècles précédents puis leurs relations aux théories modernistes de l’autonomie et au programme politique des avant-gardesLeaving behind the spiritualist and idealist method which is frequent in poetry criticism nowadays, this dissertation aims to challenge the model of an essentially non-political poetry. It adopts both a historical and theoretical approach and focuses on so-called minor poems or poems that were later on excluded from the literary canon. Focused on France, Britain and Germany between the two World Wars, it presents how poets became politicized and how they conceived of the links between poetry and politics between 1918 and 1939. The main corpus is composed of L. Aragon, W. H. Auden and Bertolt Brecht but also extends to A. Breton, X. de Magallon, S. Spender, C. Day Lewis, T. S. Eliot, E. Pound, W. Lewis, G. Benn and even V. Mayakovski and R. Alberti, etc. The three main authors should be considered as centres to explore the European literary networks and describe reception effects. The project also encompasses various newspapers, magazines and literary journals (La N.R.f., Commune, Eurydice, The Criterion, The Left Review, Die neue Rundschau, Das Wort, etc.). The first part of this research is historical and establishes how poets and critics quarrelled about the notions of “propaganda” and “pure poetry” over the period. The second part is analytical and delves into how poets evoke contemporary history and how they use writing and publishing strategies to make their poems more effective in the public space. The third part is more theoretical and depicts how poets conceived their own historicity, how they positioned themselves with respect to the poetry of the past, to contemporary modernist theories of artistic autonomy and to the political programmes of the Avant-Garde

Full textAbstract:
Government investigations into the motion picture industry are well-documented, as is the widespread blacklisting that was concurrent. Not nearly so well documented are the many investigations of musicians and musical organizations which occurred during this same period. The degree to which various musicians and musical organizations were investigated varied considerably. Some warranted only passing mention, while others were rigorously questioned in formal Congressional hearings. Hanns Eisler was deported as a result of the House Committee on Un-American Activities' (HUAC) investigation into his background and activities in the United States. Leonard Bernstein, Marc Blitzstein, and Aaron Copland are but a few of the prominent composers investigated by the government for their involvement in leftist organizations. The Symphony of the Air was denied visas for a Near East tour after several orchestra members were implicated as Communists. Members of musicians' unions in New York and Los Angeles were called before HUAC hearings because of alleged infiltration by Communists into their ranks. The Metropolitan Music School of New York, led by its president-emeritus, the composer Wallingford Riegger, was the subject of a two day congressional hearing in New York City. There is no way to measure either quantitatively or qualitatively the effect of the period on the music but only the extent to which the activities affected the musicians themselves. The extraordinary paucity of published information about the treatment of the musicians during this period is put into even greater relief when compared to the thorough manner in which the other arts, notably literature and film, have been examined. This work attempts to fill this gap and shed light on a particularly dark chapter in the history of contemporary music.
