Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the significance of ritual movements in theatre and society of fifth-century Athens. The focus falls on processional movement, the definitive characteristics of which are drawn from the ancient Greek concept of pompe, i.e. a movement towards a defined destination, involving the conveyance of a ritual symbol (or an object or a person) between specific points of departure and arrival. The social contexts of divine and heroic cult, funerals and weddings prove to be the main occasions for the performance of such processional movements. In the world outside the theatre, processions are shown to be crucial in defining transitions, shaping social relations, and manifesting the action and inviting the attention of the divine. The socio-religious significance of processions is fully appropriated and explored by tragedy. Processional action, recurrently evoked in the tragic plays, proves to be crucial for the articulation of the tragic δρώμενα. This is argued in the collection and analysis of a number of scenes from extant fifth-century tragedy in which processional resonances permeate the action. The interpretation of the scenes in the light of the ritual background which shapes them considerably enhances the understanding and appreciation of the plays as theatrical experience - experience which explores the potential of spatial configurations and visual symbolism, in a context of symbolic communication which is largely defined by participation in the rituals of the community. The thesis argues that the importance of processions in the theatre is inextricably connected with their power - as manifested in the ritual life of the polis - to gather the community and to initiate the process of θεάσασθαι, implicating both active participants and θεαταί in the performed action. Greek tragic theatre builds upon this basic function of processions and activates their power. Thus it also combines their potential to define transitions with the significance of tragic μετάβασις; and with the importance of demarcation of space and transformation of time in the theatre. Ritual experience is activated, reshaped and enlarged, enabling the re-creation and transformation of the experience of the audience. Processions can illuminate the nature of tragedy itself.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes to the understanding of the stagecraft and composition of Athenian tragedy through a re-evaluation of its component elements within the structure. I undertake a re-interpretation of the Aristotelian terms for 'plot', which allows for a more nuanced examination of events occurring within a tragedy. As Aristotle notes, the systasis of pragmata is the structure of events that forms a tragedy. The muthos is the way in which these events are presented and includes the actions and words of the dramatis personae. Pragmata are constituent elements of both the systasis and muthos. This thesis identifies and evaluates the pragma’s effects upon the movement of the systasis, its contribution to the enrichment of the muthos and its influence on audience engagement with a performance through both enacted and non-enacted forms. My approach involves a rigorous examination of the elements common to an enacted pragma, before identifying the variations therein. While a pragma involves all actions which serve the same general function, every instance of a pragma is unique. Each chapter in turn focuses on a particular pragma, before examining the role of that pragma within an entire tragedy. Enactments of each pragma in extant tragedy are tabled in appendices. The pragma of return home is examined within Andromache; recognition in Sophocles' Elektra; supplication in Hekabe; and reporting in Women of Trachis. This analysis demonstrates the dynamic role and versatility of different types of pragma within a tragedy, and the playwright's ingenuity as demonstrated by his deployment of this element. No single approach or methodology can by itself fully interpret an Athenian tragedy, but a focus on a particular pragma illuminates different themes and emphases and ultimately provides us with a better understanding of a tragedy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is in two parts. The introduction begins with an examination of the myths of Rhesus and Dolon which are independent of Iliad 10. It concludes that the author knew of these and adapted parts of them. The section on authenticity summarises those features of Rh. which have been regarded by scholars as incompatible with Euripidean authorship, as well as some evidence which has previously been ignored. It concludes that a combination of unusual features in Rh. point away from the play being an early work of E. In particular, these are: a limited use of colloquialism; the absence of περi and the scarcity of απo the lameness of many of the repetitions; intertextual allusions to other tragic texts; enjambement between strophe and antistrophe at 350-351; the presence of two sets of separated strophes and antistrophes; the delivery of a lyric monody by the deus ex machina; a preference for shorter periods in anapaests than E.; the absence of a dramatic exposition; the unannounced symmetrical entries at 264; physical contact between actor and chorus at 681; the appearance of two dei ex machina; the realistic role of the chorus and the absence of any intellectual or emotional dimension. I believe that Rh. was written after the death of E. , but have found no evidence to suggest who wrote it. The introduction concludes with a brief survey of the textual sources. The commentary is based on J. Diggle's text (1994), although some other readings or conjectures have been preferred. New conjectures have been introduced at 4-5 and 247. It is the first commentary written on lines 1-526 since that of W.H. Porter (19292) and follows the standard format except that the lyric schemata are examined in the introduction. The anapaestic opening is defended and a αττ. λεγ is reported for the first time at 353.

Full textAbstract:
D.H. Lawrence's plays must not be ignored as dramas or considered experimental in a genre for which their author had certainly had a remarkable sympathy, or even footnotes to his fiction. Lawrence perhaps did not write dramas that would adhere to the taste of the age, but his efforts in struggling against the conventional rules of theatrical construction are certainly undeniable. He was keen to enforce his own theatrical visions and patterns. His plays show a dramatist willing to use the theatre for communicating his visions and providing an authentic strength to life or lives lived by highly emotional and passionate characters, in place and time. Lawrence's theatrical progress is certainly methodical. He was consciously following a pattern which is in itself a demonstration of his passion and enthusiasm for creating some forms that would work for humans and human interest. The plays cared for the vitality and vividness in characters as much as they cared for sincerity, truthfulness and integrity in human relationships. In the 'colliery' plays: A Collier's Friday Night, The Daughter-in-Law and The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd, the passionate and the emotional possessiveness. Traces of tragedy are present in the play The Merry-Go-Round a play intended to present the Capital/Labour conflict as futile and fruitless. This 'epic' style is moved forward to serve some critical and social issues such as 'strike' in Touch and Go and also to serve 'religious' and biblical concerns in David. The Fight For Barbara and Touch and Go are examples of well-made plays. Theatrical soliloquies and symbolism are used to draw out penetrating psychological responses from the audience. The Married Man is a play about youth people and youthful doing and young people, struggling to be whole and one in love and marriage. Lawrence's plays are certainly worlds of integrity, wholeness, sanity, struggle and suffering in individual, emotional and social terms. The aim is to alter and change the conventional and the established through suffering, acting, reacting and creating real and passionate tragedies instead of futile disasters, in life. The plays are theatrical, meant for the theatre and devoted to human suffering, living and creating. They are all about action and reaction, and this is one thing that makes them lively at all times.

Full textAbstract:
PART I: Literary criticism in the twentieth century has sometimes shown that Jacobean drama challenged religious orthodoxy. The aim of this thesis is to show that this challenge was bound up with other, equally subversive concerns: a critique of ideology and a struggle to demystify political and power relations. In the tragedy here described as radical, power is identified in its complex manifestations and relations, and in its equally complex ideological misrepresentations. This section concludes with a study of three plays which exemplify this radicalism: Marston's Antonio plays and Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida. PART II: The sceptical interrogation of providentialist belief finds expression in structuralist disjunction rather than teleological development, realist rather than idealist mimesis. These themes are explored in relation to twentieth century and then Renaissance literary theory, theological controversy in the Elizabethan and Jacobean period, and then through analyses of Dr. Faustus, Mustapha, Sejanus and The Revenger's Tragedy. PART III. In undermining the purposive and teleologically integrated universe envisioned by providentialists, these playwrights necessarily subverted its corollary: the unitary human subject harmoniously positioned at the centre of the cosmic design. Hence the Jacobean anti-hero: malcontented, dispossessed, satirical and vengeful; at once the agent and victim of social corruption, condemning yet simultaneously contaminated by it; made up of inconsistencies and contradictions which, because they cannot be understood in terms of individuality alone, constantly pressure attention outwards to the conditions of the protagonist'ssocial existence. The Jacobean malcontent is a decentred subject, the bearer of a subjectivity which is not the antithesis of social process but its focus, in particular the focus of political, social and ideological contradictions. Plays analysed in this section are Bussy D'Ambois, King Lear, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus and The White Devil. PART IV. This section of the thesis makes explicit the materialist theory on which it draws---including that of Marx, Brecht, and Foucault---and seeks to contest the dominant tradition of idealism in literary erticism, especially its misrepresenation of subjectivity and social process in the early seventeenth century.

Turner, Elaine. "Applying the anthropological model, 'cultural bias' to the drama, using tragedy as an example." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1991. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/110780/.
Full textAbstract:
Dr Mary Douglas' anthropological modal of Cultural Bias offers an opportunity to examine social artefacts in terms of both their active social function and their own internal structure, promising to offer a fresh perspective on old dilemmas. This study applies the Cultural Bias model to several classical Tragedies in an attempt to assess the viability of the model as a basis for a structural Poetics and an interpretive model. Elaborative analysis is concentrated on the two major Tragedies of Christopher Marlowe. The model encouragingly casts new light on areas in the plays conventionally considered "problematic" while offering a positive reassessment of Marlowe's capacities and intentions. Further issues implied by the model are examined in the context of Shakespeare's Macbeth and two representative Greek Tragedies. Questions of structural definition and categorisation demand relative comparison. Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, representatives of modern dramas whose definition has often been linked with classical Tragedy are examined and compared with the classical form through the criteria of the model. The modern plays are revealed to have a distinctly different form and implicit social function than the classical plays, highlighting the advantages, if not the necessity for a significant process of categorisation and confirming the viability of the model as a delineating source. The final part of this study examines four plays from the 20th century which have presented critical and interpretive problems. Detailed analysis through the model provides a coherent interpretation as well as solutions to their problematic elements and suggests that these plays, despite their stylistic differences, share a formal structure with classical Tragedy. This analysis implies a possible reassessment of contemporary plays in a more extensive, formal context. In the process of this investigation, the model of Cultural Bias has proved a stimulating and revealing interpretive tool. Its interpretations work as both intellectual and performance models, are capable of resolving textual problems, and offer fresh perspectives. It also offers evidence of a coherent active social function inherent in the Arts. Numerous further avenues of study have also been uncovered and are suggested here.

Full textAbstract:
Researchers are asking what drama teachers do in the classroom that promotes effective learning. Educational drama practitioner researchers O'Neill (1995) and Taylor (2006) suggest that theory informs practice and practice informs theory. This qualitative retrospective study examines a teacher's and students' reflections on a process-drama approach to Greek tragedy. Drawing on Schon's (1983, 1987) theory of reflective practice, my study examines my "reflections-in-action" with five secondary 5 adolescent students between 1997 and 2004, and "reflections-on-action" with the same adult students between 2009 and 2010. An hourglass serves as a visual metaphor for reflection on three phases of the learning process: collaboration, transformation and performance. Synopses of Agamemnon and Antigone initiate group discussion, improvisation and scriptwriting. Journal entries, mask designs, transcriptions of videotaped performances, screenshots of performances, email correspondence and interviews provide original data for the adults' reflections on their process of learning through drama. The findings of this study indicate that educational drama is essential to the development of creativity, collaboration and empathy among the youth, our future world leaders.Les chercheurs s'interrogent sur les moyens utilisés par les enseignants d'art dramatique pour favoriser l'apprentissage efficace. Selon O'Neill (1995) et Taylor (2006), professeurs chercheurs en théâtre éducatif, la théorie éclaire la pratique et la pratique éclaire la théorie. Dans cette étude rétrospective qualitative, on examine les réflexions d'une enseignante et d'élèves quant à l'approche processus-théâtre propre à la tragédie grecque. S'inspirant de la théorie sur la pratique réflexive de Schon (1983, 1987), cette étude examine les « réflexions-dans-l'action » d'une enseignante et de cinq adolescentes du 5e secondaire entre 1997 et 2004 et les « réflexions-sur-l'action » des mêmes étudiantes adultes entre 2009 et 2010. Un sablier est utilisé comme métaphore visuelle quant à la réflexion pour trois phases du processus d'apprentissage : collaboration, transformation et performance. Les synopsis d'Agamemnon et d'Antigone ont alimenté la discussion de groupe, l'improvisation et l'écriture de scénarios. La tenue d'un journal, la conception de masques, la transcription de performances sur vidéo, la capture sur écran de performances, la correspondance électronique et les entrevues ont fourni des données inédites pour enrichir la réflexion des adultes quant à leur processus d'apprentissage par le théâtre. Les constatations de cette étude révèlent que le théâtre éducatif est essentiel au développement de la créativité, à la collaboration et à l'empathie des jeunes, nos futurs dirigeants du monde.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-292).Recently, a number of scholars (Bilezikian, 1977; Hooker, 1991; Botha, 1993; Shiner, 2003; Dewey, 2004; Fast, 2005; Byrskog, 2006; Holland, 2007) have alluded to, or highlighted, the dramatic nature of, and the performative possibilities in, the Gospel of Mark. Their comments and explorations are appropriated as the basis for engaging in a theoretical work that seeks to establish both why and how the Gospel of Mark may be read as a dramatic text, and, consequently, to suggest a manner in which to dramatize this account of the Gospel of Mark. The task is undertaken with Michel Foucault and Aristotle as the guides, and, significantly, with Foucault as the interpretive guide to the processes of forming Aristotle's treatise on drama. It endeavours, first, to emphasise the physically inscriptive power of texts (why the Gospel of Mark may be performative); second, to demonstrate the diverse and complex processes which form the specific discourse of the Poetics by Aristotle, and to foreground some of its central interpretive protocols (how the Gospel of Mark may be read as a drama); and, finally, informed by the body-power of texts and employing certain of the Aristotelian protocols, to venture an approach to the Gospel of Mark as an Aristotelian tragedy, and one that may possess a contemporary relevance.

Alsop, James. "Playing dead : living death in early modern drama." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/17122.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks at occurrences of "living death" – a liminal state that exists between life and death, and which may be approached from either side – in early modern English drama. Today, reference to the living dead brings to mind zombies and their ilk, creatures which entered the English language and imagination centuries after the time of the great early modern playwrights. Yet, I argue, many post-Reformation writers were imagining states between life and death in ways more complex than existing critical discussions of “ghosts” have tended to perceive. My approach to the subject is broadly historicist, but informed throughout by ideas of stagecraft and performance. In addition to presenting fresh interpretations of well-known plays such as Thomas Middleton’s The Maiden’s Tragedy (1611) and John Webster’s The White Devil (1612), I also endeavour to shed new light on various non-canon works such as the anonymous The Tragedy of Locrine (c.1591), John Marston's Antonio's Revenge (c.1602), and Anthony Munday's mayoral pageants Chruso-thriambos (1611) and Chrysanaleia (1616), works which have received little in the way of serious scholarly attention or, in the case of Antonio's Revenge, been much maligned by critics. These dramatic works depict a whole host of the living dead, including not only ghosts and spirits but also resurrected Lord Mayors, corpses which continue to “perform” after death, and characters who anticipate their deaths or define themselves through last dying speeches. By exploring the significance of these characters, I demonstrate that the concept of living death is vital to our understanding of deeper thematic and symbolic meanings in a wide range of dramatic works.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the destructive effects of infidelity in the old-aged husband-the young wife marriages which end up with tragedy. In John Ford&rsquos Love&rsquo
s Sacrifice (1633) and Lope de Vega&rsquo
s Punishment Without Revenge (1631), tragedy turns out to be the inevitable consequence of the plays since the motives of jealousy, honour, revenge and love converge and lead people to commit sinful crimes. Within this scope, the first chapter of the thesis is devoted to the historical information about the state of English and Spanish theatres together with the biographies of the playwrights. In the second chapter, the tripartite relationship between jealousy, revenge, and honour is dealt with based upon examples from the primary sources in a historical framework. The reasons and results of these themes are studied through the characters in the plays. The third chapter covers the theme of love, its history and its influence on characters. In this chapter, the nature of love between the characters and its consequences are examined. The conclusion asserts that the old-aged husband and the young wife create a mismatched union and accompanied with the motives of honour, jealousy and revenge, the institution of marriage breeds tragic consequences. The analysis of the above mentioned themes is based on a historical context and it is also concluded that although Love&rsquo
s Sacrifice (1633) and Punishment Without Revenge (1631) belong to the Renaissance age, both plays bear the influences of the Greco-Roman drama tradition. Thus, the similarities and differences between classical and Renaissance tragedy are demonstrated.

Denton, Megan. "Beyond Reason: Madness in the English Revenge Tragedy." VCU Scholars Compass, 2013. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/554.
Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the depiction and function of madness on the Renaissance stage, specifically its development as trope of the English revenge tragedy from its Elizabethan conception to its Jacobean advent through a representative engagement of Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy, William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi. Madness in these plays selectively departs from popular conceptions and archetypal formulas to create an uncertain dramatic space which allows its sufferers to walk moral lines and liminal paths unavailable to the sane. “Madness” is responsible for and a response to vision; where the revenger is driven to the edge of madness by a lapse in morality only visible to him, madness provides a lens to correct the injustice. It is the tool that allows them to escape convention, decorum and even the law to rout a moral cancer, and, in this capacity, is enabling rather than disabling.

Almond, Clare Louise. "Rehearsing modern tragedy : a Benjaminian interpretation of drama and the dramatic in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's writings." Thesis, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10443/2540.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a reappraisal of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s dramatic theory and writing. Although critical interest in Coleridge’s dramatic work is relatively small in comparison to other areas, it is increasing. A central aim of the thesis is to add to this field of criticism by suggesting a greater significance of the dramatic in Coleridge’s oeuvre. This is an area of Coleridge’s work that can be illuminated by way of its interpretation using Walter Benjamin’s reassessment of dramatic genres in The Origin of German Tragic Drama. A key assumption of the thesis is that Coleridge’s dramatic work extends beyond the parameters of his activity as a playwright. It therefore positions key moments of his critical theory and poetic writing as dramatic. In viewing selected works in this way, a greater coincidence between Coleridge and Benjamin’s work emerges most significantly through their shared themes of truthful representation and correct interpretation. A short introduction highlights common themes between Coleridge and Benjamin and proposes a view of the two writers that follows Benjamin’s concept of the ‘constellation’. Chapter One draws together key critical interest in Romantic drama. It also aims to connect Coleridge’s dramatic theory and works with key themes in On German Tragic Drama. Chapter Two explores Coleridge’s dramatic theory in his Lectures before 1812 and offers a reading of the ‘Critique of Bertram’ that seeks to reassert the importance of this piece. Chapter Three aims to reveal a dramatic current running through ‘The Eolian Harp’ and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The thesis culminates, in Chapter Four, with a reading of Remorse informed by Benjamin’s critical model of the Trauerspiel in The Origin of German Tragic Drama. In conclusion, the thesis offers up aspects of Coleridge’s works that can be termed as dramatic so as to reveal their anticipation of a Benjaminian modernity. In this sense, it proposes that drama should be accorded more significance within Coleridge’s oeuvre as it reveals a better understanding of some of his lesser known material and highlights some of his most original thinking.

Resumo: Destinada ao público não especializado na questão da poesia dramática grega, a pesquisa de doutorado tem como foco principal a tradução em prosa da tragédia As Fenícias, de Eurípides. Apresenta-se, também, um ensaio sobre o prólogo e o primeiro episódio, possibilitando aos leitores da tragédia compreender um aspecto por vezes esquecido, mas que é fundamental para a sua dramatização: a audiência teatral. Desse modo, pretende-se construir uma ponte entre o mundo grego antigo e o mundo do leitor moderno
Abstract: Not specialized for the public on the issue of Greek dramatic poetry, the doctoral research is focused on the translation in prose of the Euripides' tragedy Phoenissae. It presents also an essay on the prologue and the first episode, which enable readers to understand an aspect of tragedy that is sometimes forgotten, but that is essencial for its enactment: the theatrical audience. Thus, we intend to build a bridge between the ancient Greek world and the world of the modern reader

Full textAbstract:
Using recent scholarship on intersubjectivity and cultural cognitive narratology, this project explores the disruption and reformation of early modern identity in Elizabethan revenge tragedies. The purpose of this dissertation is to demonstrate how revenge tragedies contribute to the prevalence of a dialogical rather than monological self in early modern culture.
My chapter on Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy synthesizes Debora Shuger’s work on the cultural significance of early modern mirrors--which posits early modern self-recognition as a typological process--with recent scholarship on the early modern dialogical self. The chapter reveals how audiences and mirrors function in the play as cognitive artifacts that enable complex experiences of intersubjectivity.
In my chapter on Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, I trace how characters construct new identities in relation to their shared suffering while also exploring intersubjectivity’s potential violence. When characters in Titus imagine the inward experience of others, they project a plausible narrative of interiority derived from inwardness’s external signifiers (such as tears, pleas, or gestures). These projections and receptions between characters can lead to reciprocated sympathy or violent aggression.
My reading of John Marston’s Antonio’s Revenge explores revenge as a mode of competition. Marston suggests a similarity between the market conditions of dramatic performance (competition between playwrights, acting companies, and rival theaters) and the convention of one-upmanship in revenge tragedy, i.e. the need to surpass preceding acts of violence. While other Elizabethan revenge tragedies represent reciprocity and collusion between characters as important aspects of intersubjective self-reintegration, Marston’s play emphasizes competition and rivalry as the dominant force that shapes his characters.
My final chapter provides an analysis of Shakespeare's Hamlet. I argue that recent scholarship on intersubjectivity and cognitive cultural studies can help us re-historicize the nature of Hamlet’s “that within which passes show.” Hamlet’s desire for the eradication of his consciousness explores the consequences of feeling disconnected from others in a culture wherein identity, consciousness, and even memory itself depend on interpersonal relations.

Esse trabalho busca interpretar as duas primeiras obras do crítico Peter Szondi (1929-1971), Teoria do drama moderno e Ensaio sobre o trágico, à luz de suas principais referências teóricas e do percurso pessoal e intelectual do crítico de Budapeste a Berlim entre os anos de 1944 e 1961. Acredita-se que esse período não só condensou as leituras e esperiências de maior impacto para as convicções do futuro filólogo e ensaísta, mas deu a obra um forma que sofreria, a seu término, uma inflexão decisiva, a qual suspendia e refletia justamente os anos referidos. Vê-se como traço definidor desses anos tanto o embate com a tradição artística e filosófica sedimentada nas obras analisadas nos dois livros como a reelaboração, em sentido próprio, de uma teoria critica então recente que procurara, em função de seu próprio presente, refletir sobre a crise dessa tradição, sendo esse fio tenso - entre a modernidade e tradição - não só o que dá vida a esses dois livros, mas o que justifica aqui o interesse pela obra de Szondi. No centro desse embate e reformulação se encontram as noções de drama, drama moderno e tragédia, que - além de justificar o título - são a chave da presente tese.This work intends to interpret the first two books written by Peter Szondi (1929-1971), Theory of the modern drama and An essay on tragic, in view of his main theoretical references and the criticist\'s personal and intellectual itinerary, from Budapest to Berlin, between 1944 and 1961. It\'s argued that this period not only concentrates the most striking readings and experiences of the future philologist and essayist, but shaped an oeuvre which would later inflect decisively towards the suspension of and reflection upon the assigned years. The period\'s defining feature is seen here as both the confrontation with the artistic and philosophical tradition condensed on the works analyzed in those two books, and the remaking, in a peculiar way, of a then recent critical theory which, in face of present circumstances, intended to reflect upon the crisis of that same tradition. This tense line - between modernity and tradition - which gives life to both books is our source of interest on Szondi\'s oeuvre. In the nucleus of this confrontation and remaking process one can find the notions of drama, modern drama and tragedy, which - besides justifying the title - are the key to the present dissertation.

Esta Dissertação tem como objetivo mostrar a recepção do Beethoven de Wagner na obra de Nietzsche, mais precisamente em seu livro O Nascimento da Tragédia. Wagner tenta explicar aos alemães as razões de Beethoven figurar no mesmo patamar de Goethe e Schiller, Wagner utiliza-se de uma exposição do homem e do gênio Beethoven para chegar a esta conclusão. A partir de uma breve análise da Nona Sinfonia podemos perceber porque esta obra foi tão importante para Wagner dar sequência em seu drama musical, e justamente nesta junção que houve da palavra com a música na composição de Beethoven é que Nietzsche vê a importância destes dois compositores alemães, utilizando-os para sua primeira obra. Em resumo, mostraremos a apropriação que Nietzsche realiza não apenas do texto Beethoven, mas de Wagner e de Schopenhauer para explicar a questão musical no Nascimento da Tragédia.
This dissertation aims to show the reception of Wagner’s Beethoven in the work of Nietzsche, more precisely in his book The Birth of Tragedy. Wagner tries to explain the reasons for the Germans Beethoven appear at the same level of Goethe and Schiller, Wagner uses an exposure of Beethoven as a man and as a genius to reach this conclusion. From a brief analysis of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony we can see why this work was so important for Wagner to give sequence to his musical drama, and precisely at this juncture between word and music in Beethoven’s composition Nietzsche sees the importance of these two German composers, using them for his first work. In summary, we will show the appropriation that Nietzsche performs not only of Beethoven, but of Wagner and Schopenhauer to explain the musical issue in The Birth of Tragedy.

Leinenbach, Trenton Robert. "Manfred, Don Juan, and the Romantic Tragedy of the Subject." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2016. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/6226.
Full textAbstract:
While the Romantic lyric has long been understood as an exploration of human subjectivity, the era's dramatic works have been viewed as more oriented toward objective or mimetic representation. As such, scholarship on Romantic subjectivity from Harold Bloom to Andrea Henderson has bypassed dramatic and quasi-dramatic explorations of subjectivity. These explorations, however, add to the conversation about subjectivity in powerful ways by addressing the paradoxes of mimetically representing subjectivity. These difficulties spring from a question that surrounds mimetically represented subjectivity: how can a supposedly objective medium portray experience that is by definition non-objective, purely interior, and therefore incommunicable? This paradox calls for a reassessment of criticism on Romantic subjectivity, this time attending not only to the Romantic lyric with its recognized formal emphasis on interiority, but also to Romantic drama, which productively resists interiority by underscoring the paradoxes inherent to representations of subjectivity. This thesis traces the development of dramatic explorations of subjectivity in two of Byron's works, the closet drama Manfred and the trans-generic mock-epic Don Juan. Manfred attempts to mimetically portray the horrors of subjectivity by showing how the title character's solipsism leads to his demise. The work ultimately falls short of this purpose, but in so doing reveals a crucial paradox: the tragedy inherent to subjectivity lies in the very inexpressibility the play hopes to express. Don Juan, on the other hand, embraces this paradox by allowing the work's theme of Manfred-like subjectivity to leak from content to form—from the story of Juan to the very act of diegesis. This blurring of textual lines results in generic inversions, marked in Don Juan by the constant irruptions of comedy into the otherwise tragic tale. Ultimately, if Don Juan succeeds as tragedy of subjectivity, it does so by failing, tragically, at being tragedy. Such a tragedy must be understood based on a dynamic, rather than a static, conception of genre; rather than being defined based on a resemblance to recognized tragedies, Don Juan's tragic associations come from the work's constant movement between genres. As such, Don Juan's method for treating the paradoxes of mimetically portrayed subjectivity is to imagine them as the play between content and genre, substance and form.

Full textAbstract:
Towards the end of the 19th century Oscar Wilde wrote the four society plays that would become his most famous dramatical works: Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). The plays combined characteristic Wildean witticisms with cunning social criticism of Victorian society, using stereotypical characters such as the dandy, the fallen woman and the “ideal” woman to mock the double moral and strict social expectations of Victorian society. These plays, and to an extent also Wilde’s symbolist drama Salomé (1891), have been the object of a great deal of scholarly interest, with countless studies conducted on them from various angles and theoretical perspectives. Widely under-discussed, however, are Wilde’s two Elizabethan-Jacobean tragedies, The Duchess of Padua (1883) and A Florentine Tragedy (1894). This thesis therefore sets out to explore The Duchess of Padua and A Florentine Tragedy in order to gain a broader understanding of Wilde’s forgotten dramatical works, while also rediscovering two of Wilde’s most transgressive female characters—Beatrice and Bianca. Challenging traditional ideas of gender and female sexuality, Beatrice and Bianca can be read as proto-feminist figures who continually act transgressively, using their voice and agency to stand up against patriarchy and asserting their rights to experience their lives on their own terms. Through an in-depth study of these plays, this thesis will demonstrate that Wilde’s Elizabethan-Jacobean tragedies, with their strong, modern female characters Beatrice and Bianca deserve greater critical attention on a par with the extensive scholarship on Wilde’s well-known dramatical works.

Full textAbstract:
Seneca’s contribution to the development of Western European theatre and conceptions of theatricality has been underestimated in comparison to that of Greek tragedy. This thesis argues for the continuous importance of Senecan drama in theatrical theory and practice from the sixteenth century until the present day. It examines significant instances of Seneca in performance, and shows how these draw on particular aspects of Seneca’s style and dramaturgical technique to coalesce into a sub-genre of tragedy termed here ‘hypertragedy’ or the ‘senecan aesthetic’. The underlying premise of this representational mode is that verbal (vocal) performance is a physical act and induces physical responses. This entails the consequential inference that Senecan theatre is not mimetic – that is, based on an isomorphic identification of character with performer – but rather affective; like oratory, it functions through direct, quasi-musical manipulation of the auditor’s senses. The goal of this theatrical form is to articulate extreme states of mind or experiences which cannot be conveyed via conventional mimetic means: pain, frenzy, dissolution of the self. In tracing the theories of tragedy which comprise a narrative contrapuntal to the reception of Seneca onstage, it is possible to identify the factors which have successively constructed, promoted, suppressed, reviled and finally reinstated the senecan aesthetic as philhellenism’s other.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I investigate the textual tradition of the Cretan tragedy Erofili by Georgios Chortatsis (16th century). The play, accompanied by a set of four Interludes, has survived in three manuscripts and two editions, all originating from the 17th century. All the witnesses are examined and presented thoroughly, both as autonomous texts and in comparison to each other. The examination of each witness separately sheds light not only on the history of the transmission of Erofili, but also to the production of manuscripts and printed books in Crete, the Heptanese and Venice in general. As far as the condition of the text is concerned, three witnesses preserve the most reliable texts: the second edition and the two manuscripts originating from Crete. The investigation of their relationship shows that two groups can be identified: one includes the two Cretan manuscripts and another one the three other witnesses. Νo important alterations in the plot and the sequence of events are found, so the textual variation concerns mainly the phrasing. There are indications that variation among the witnesses might have resulted from revisions by the playwright himself. The evaluation of the two groups of witnesses shows that it is not possible to consider one of them as superior, and this leads to the question which would be the most appropriate editorial method. Previous editors have followed the eclectic approach, which has many positive aspects, but cannot help the readers to realize all the stages of the transmission of the play. Since various theoretical approaches have appeared during the last decades, it has been understood that no edition can be called “definitive” and that editions following different methods can address different questions and achieve different aims. Erofili, and other texts with a rich and complicated textual tradition, can be edited in various ways and each edition can offer new insight in the history of the production, transmission and reception of the work.

Aquest treball s’insereix en una línia d’investigació en què la reflexió sorgeix de la confrontació amb el text, per aquesta raó els problemes de comprensió que han sorgit en el moment de posar-nos a llegir la tragèdia de les Eumènides han estat els que ens han permès una nova aproximació al que podria significar que quelcom fos tràgic, i per tant, a allò que podria ser una tragèdia. El treball d’exegesi del text grec, així com les dificultats de la seva traducció han posat de manifest la distància que separa Grècia de la Modernitat, en la mesura que el text només s’ha obert a la comprensió quan hem estat capaços de deixar endarrere els supòsits que ens conformen en tant que moderns i hem intentat una interpretació que busqués la coherència interna del text més enllà de preconcepcions tradicionals. D’aquesta manera hem intentat donar cobertura a diferents escenes de les Eumènides i assajar algun tipus de solució als diversos problemes que ens havien impulsat a fer d’aquest treball la lectura d’una tragèdia, entre ells la importància de la figura de Dionís com a déu de la tragèdia, la irrenunciabilitat a l’oposició entre el cor i els personatges, la possibilitat de la tragèdia com a festa en què la pólis es detenia per anar al teatre o la relació d’aquesta amb la mort.
En el curs de la investigació la tragèdia s’ha revelat com a obra radicalment grega, i per tant, com l’expressió del que nosaltres des de la nostra posició moderna no podem deixar de percebre com la seva estructura. En aquest moment es feia rellevant Grècia com allò altre, i per tant, com el més necessari per entendre qui érem nosaltres.This work fits with research in that reflection arises from the confrontation with the text, which is why understanding the problems that have arisen in the moment we read the tragedy of the Eumenides have been those that have allowed us a new approach to what it might mean something to be tragic, and therefore what could be a tragedy. The work of exegesis of the Greek text and translation difficulties have highlighted the gap between Modernity and Greece, because the text has only been open to understanding when we were able to leave behind the assumptions that shape us as a moderns and tried an interpretation to look for internal coherence of the text beyond traditional preconceptions. In this way we tried to cover different scenes in the Eumenides and try some kind of solution to various problems that had driven to make this work the reading of a tragedy, including the importance of the figure of Dionysus as the god of tragedy, the indispensability of opposition between the chorus and the characters, the possibility of tragedy as the polis party that stops the activity for going to the theatre and its relationship with death. The course of the investigation has revealed tragedy as a work radically Greek and therefore, as an expression of what, our modern position cannot fail to perceive as its structure. At this time, Greece became relevant as the other, and therefore, as the most necessary to understand who we were.

Morton, Sheila Ann. "Satire's Liminal Space: The Conservative Function of Eighteenth-Century Satiric Drama." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2004. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/122.
Full textAbstract:
The eighteenth century is famous for producing literary satire, primarily in verse (and later prose) form. However, during this period, a new dramatic form also arose of which satire was the controlling element. And like the writers of prose and verse satires, playwrights of dramatic satire claimed that their primary aim was the correction of moral faults and failings. Of course, they did not always succeed in this aim. History has shown a few, however, to have had a significant impact on the ideas and lives of their audiences. This thesis is an attempt to demonstrate how these satiric dramas achieved their reformative aims by tracing the theatrical experience of an eighteenth-century audience through Victor Turner's stages of liminality. Turner explains the different ways in which specific genres of theatre (1) create a performance space that is apart from, but still draws symbolically on, the outside world, (2) invite the participation of their audiences in that space, and (3) urge audiences to act in different ways as they leave the theatre space. By examining plays in these ways, we can see how the plays affected the ideas and outlooks of audience members. Because satiric drama invited a high level of participation from audience members, because it invited them into a very "liminal" space, it frequently served to sway audience members' tastes, and in some cases even helped to revolutionize social and literary institutions.

Esta investigación trata de cómo Sófocles, a través de su magna obra Antígona, nos mostró que el hombre es pantopóros, es decir, un ser que dispone de todos los recursos, industrioso, pero que no posee ninguno, es áporos, pudiendo optar por todos los caminos aunque estos le sean impracticables. Sófocles, aquel que nos señaló que el sabio no puede conformarse con un solo camino, únicamente lo pronunciaría una vez a lo largo de su magna y extensa obra: pantopóros áporos. El carácter indigente del hombre quedaba así señalado a través de un hápax apórico que el Coro de Antígona iba a inmortalizar como un verdadero oxímoron vital en una Oda al hombre, perteneciente a ese primer estásimo que contiene la esencia de la cultura occidental. Cabría preguntarse entonces hasta qué punto la obra sofoclea ha podido proporcionarnos a lo largo de la historia hasta nuestros días un saber primero del fenómeno trágico. Cabría advertir también el hecho de no caer en un mero formulario de las numerosas Antígonas posteriores, sino ahondar en el estudio hermenéutico, con una cuestión trascendente como telón de fondo: ¿A qué se debe la inquebrantable autoridad que los mitos griegos sobre nuestra imaginación y por qué un puñado de éstos, Antígona entre ellos, reaparece en el arte del siglo XX, casi obsesivamente, sin relegarlos a la mera arqueología? El ser humano, al perder su capacidad animal de respuesta automática, deriva hacia una pulsión de muerte, dando paso a un animal simbólico capaz de transformar la cultura en tragedia. El hápax sofocleo se transformaba así en una simbología que caracterizaba la indigencia del hombre, sublimando una aporía que le facilitaba el depender del otro, el temer a todo y a todos. Ora travesía de mito universal, ora poética, ora filosofía de la lectura, las diferentes interpretaciones de Antígona serán de paso obligado en esta investigación, apareciendo el hápax sofocleo como catalizador de las mismas.

Full textAbstract:
Although mythological monsters have rarely been examined in any collective and comprehensive manner, they constitute an important cosmic presence in archaic and classical Greek poetry. This thesis brings together insights from the scholarly areas of 'monster studies' and the 'sensory turn' in order to offer readings of the sounds made by monsters. I argue that the figure of the monster in Greek poetry, although it has positive attributes, does not have a fixed definition or position within the cosmos. Instead of using definitions of monstrosity to think about the role and status of Greek monsters, this thesis demonstrates that by listening to the sounds of the monster's voice, it is possible to chart its position in the cosmos. Monsters with incomprehensible, cacophonous, or dangerous voices pose greater threats to cosmic order; those whose voices are semiotic and anthropomorphic typically pose less serious threats. The thesis explores the shifting depictions of monsters according to genre and author. In Chapter 1, 'Hesiod's Theogony: The Role of Monstrosity in the Cosmos', I consider Hesiod's genealogies of monsters that circulate and threaten in the nonhuman realm, while the universe is still undergoing processes of organisation. Chapter 2, 'Homer's Odyssey: Mingling with Monsters', discusses the monster whom Odysseus encounters and even imitates in order to survive his exchanges with them. In Chapter 3, 'Monsters in Greek Lyric Poetry: Voices of Defeat', I examine Stesichorus' Geryoneis and the presence of Centaurs, Typhon, and Gorgons in Pindar's Pythian 1, 2, 3, and 12. In lyric, we find that these monsters are typically presented in terms of the monster's experience of defeat at the hands of a hero or a god. This discussion is followed by two chapters that explore the presence of the monster in Greek tragedy, entitled 'Centripetal Monsters in Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound and Oresteia' and 'Centrifugal Monsters in Greek Tragedy: Euripides and Sophocles.' Here, I argue that in tragedy the monster, or the abstractly 'monstrous', is located within the figure of the human being and within the polis. The coda, 'Monstrous Mimesis and the Power of Sound', considers not only monstrous voices, but monstrous music, examining the mythology surrounding the aulos and looking at the sonic developments generated by the New Musicians.
