Full textAbstract:
Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), irlandais d’expression française et anglaise, peut être considéré comme un des écrivains modernistes du XXe siècle les plus influents. Son nom est surtout associé au théâtre de l’absurde, un style de théâtre des années 50 inspiré des surréalistes et des dadaïstes, dont l’origine était le traumatisme de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Parmi les pièces absurdes les plus importantes se trouve En attendant Godot de Beckett, une pièce connue et jouée dans le monde entier. Ce que Samuel Beckett nous montre dans En attendant Godot est évidemment l’absurdité de la vie, et l’absurdité de ce qui n’est pas encore venu ou déterminé. Le point central dans cette pièce est – malgré l’absence d’histoire, de sens et de but – sa représentation de la condition humaine : les relations, la communication, l’inquiétude et, bien sûr, l’attente. Le but de se mémoire sera d’examiner de quelle manière Beckett révèle son image de la condition humaine à travers d’une pièce rompant avec toute convention théâtrale classique.

Minha dissertação consiste em desenvolver a relação estabelecida entre o texto e o leitor no processo de leitura literária como produtividade, considerada como um conjunto, compreendendo o produtor do texto e seu leitor. A leitura vista como ‘‘jogo", em que o retorno do diferente não desdenha a tradição da leitura, conduz o leitor à produzir um texto múltiplo, plural. O texto é o mesmo e um outro ao mesmo tempo. Este estudo compreende três textos singulares da obra de Samuel Beckett: Malone meurt, L’Innommable e En attendant Godot. Tudo o que é assimilado, assim como refutado por Beckett, é convidado a entrar em cena no decorrer deste trabalho. Como via de acesso para a composisão da escritura becketiana, foi necessário seguir os passos da memória de leitura do autor para chegar a uma conclusão, segundo minha própria leitura, a partir da leitura dos três textos escolhidos. Por isso, reencontrei em Proust, a idéia do leitor ‘‘livre’’ e ‘‘independente’’ mantido por Beckett. Seguindo os traços da tradição, foi possível desenvolver uma memória de leitura como uma repetição, conduzindo a um resultado imprevisto. Balzac é a primeira referência da leitura beketiana. O autor é trabalhado como fonte principal da leitura becketiana. Assim, a composição da memória em Beckett não pode ser recuperada senão na articulação dos estudos textuais como ‘‘produção’’ e, cujas imagens repetitivas fornecidas pelos três textos de Samuel Beckett asseguram a continuidade, a produtividade de leitura, em que, esta memória, torna-se inevitavelmente, memória do texto.

Full textAbstract:
When the Irish writer Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) wrote Waiting for Godot in 1948-1949 he was in a state of artistic depression and confusion. He had already turned to French instead of English and with a manuscript for the stage he made an effort to get away from what he called ”the awful prose” he was working on at that time. Waiting for Godot had its first opening night in Paris in 1953, and during the years since then many different interpretations have been made of this challenging work of art. In this essay, with the meta textual elements in Waiting for Godot as a foundation, I’m reading the drama as a writer’s struggle with his material – not strictly biographical, but with Beckett as an artistic example. Vladimir and Estragon, as well as Pozzo and Lucky, then become personalizations of the voices in the mind of the author, where intellect/reason/analysis on one hand and intuition/feeling/fantasy on the other are working side by side, or as a pair of opposites, to try to get along through conflict and cooperation; conferring, clashing, and complementing one another. Godot will then function as the mystical and driving force, the necessary lack of purpose or fundamental meaning that keeps the artist in touch with art. In this aspect Godot has not to come; his absence is an absolute condition to get the play going, to keep the writer writing, to make all artists continue their lonely, tiresome, difficult work. Waiting for Godot tells us something about the struggle every writer has to face when writing a play, or a novel, or a poem, where he, or she, has to speak with and listen to the inner voices of intuition and intellect and try to get by in spite of the overall sense of hopelessness of it all. Art is at the same time without meaning and of infinite value and I believe that this paradox is alive and working in Waiting for Godot.

Cette etude est basee sur l'esthetique moderne, dont la decontextualisation et la recontextualisation d'une oeuvre a travers la reception d'une oeuvre par le spectateur/lecteur. En posant la question de l'objectivite dans l'oeuvre, elle permet de definir les diverses tendances litteraires d'aujourd'hui et specifiquement dans le domaine du theatre contemporain. Cette etude concerne aussi la question sur la litterarite d'une oeuvre dans le vingtieme siecle, pour arriver au jugement clair sur categorisation d'une oeuvre comme litteraire et non-litteraire. Elle met en question le theatre moderne qu'on s'appelle le nouveau theatre, qui a domine la scene dramatique du vingtieme siecle. Ce travail en premier temps met en question l'effet de l'idee de la modernite dans le domaine litteraire et specifiquement dans le genre theatral.

Full textAbstract:
O foco dessa dissertação é analisar o papel, as características, e a presença dos bobos ao longo da história, focando em sua constante aparição no teatro. Os personagens principais da minha análise serão o Bobo, na peça Rei Lear de William Shakespeare, e Vladimir e Estragon, na peça Esperando Godot de Samuel Beckett. Na análise desses personagens, discuto semelhanças entre os autores, que já foram notadas por críticos como Martin Esslin, Jan Kott, e Northrop Frye, e mostro como os personagens de Beckett são similares aos bobos de Shakespeare. Bobos, no teatro, frequentemente agem como mediadores entre o palco e a plateia, guiando os espectadores e falando verdades. O Bobo de Lear diz verdades criticando seu mestre e o lembrando das decisões erradas que ele tomou; os personagens em Esperando Godot dizem verdades sobre a falta de sentido de nossas vidas e, mais importante, nos mostram essa falta de sentido no decorrer da peça. Em relação à linguagem, o uso dela pelos bobos é diferente do uso dos outros personagens porque eles a manipulam para criar desentendimentos e jogos de palavras. No teatro de Shakespeare, a principal razão para esse uso peculiar da linguagem é que os bobos querem mostrar sua sagacidade; no teatro de Beckett, eles usam uma linguagem sem sentido para mostrar que ela está quebrada e que tentativas de comunicação são inúteis. Através das ações e diálogos dos bobos de Beckett em Esperando Godot, podemos ver que a vida é absurda e que vivemos em um mundo cheio de incertezas. Apesar de personagens bobos geralmente serem vistos como superficiais e insignificantes, especialmente nas peças de Shakespeare, eles são extremamente importantes no teatro e têm uma maneira única de interagir com os outros personagens e com o público.The focus of this thesis is to analyze the role, characteristics, and presence of fools throughout history, focusing on their recurrence in the theater. The characters I will focus on are Lear's Fool in William Shakespeare's King Lear, and Vladimir and Estragon in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, discussing similarities between the two authors, which have been mentioned by critics such as Martin Esslin, Jan Kott and Northrop Frye, and showing how Beckett's characters are similar to Shakespearean fools. Fools in the theater often act as mediators between the stage and the audience, guiding spectators and telling truths. Lear's Fool tells truths by criticizing his master and reminding him of the wrong decisions he has made; the characters in Waiting for Godot tell truths about the meaninglessness of life and, most importantly, show us this meaninglessness throughout the play. The use of language by fools is different from that of other characters because they manipulate it to create misunderstandings and word games. In Shakespeare's theater, the main reason for this peculiar use of language is that fools want to show their wit; in Beckett's theater, the characters use nonsensical language to show that language has broken down and that attempts at communication are pointless. Through the actions and dialogues of Beckett's fools in Waiting for Godot, we can see that life is absurd and that we live in a world full of uncertainties. In spite of the fact that fool characters are often seen as shallow and insignificant, especially in Shakespeare's theater, they are of extreme importance in the theater and have a unique manner of interacting with other characters and with the audience.

Full textAbstract:
En mettant en scène Warten auf Godot en 1975 au Schiller Theater, Beckett déclare : « Je ne connaissais rien au théâtre quand j’ai écrit cette pièce. » Constat précieux : l’auteur parle au passé. Entre l’écriture et la mise en scène, un savoir a été acquis. Le défaut de savoir constaté concerne la dimension pratique du théâtre. C’est le théâtre tel qu’il se fait auquel Beckett s’est peu à peu confronté, jusqu’à assumer la mise en scène de ses propres pièces. Devenu praticien, l’auteur s’empare de se première œuvres, les reprend : dans cette reprise lui apparaissent les failles et les manques initiaux. Loin de relever d’une continuité ou d’une évidence, la mise en scène par l’auteur de son premier théâtre et les réécritures auxquelles elle donne lieu offrent un aperçu sur la façon dont l’intériorisation par Beckett de deux fonctions qui ont joué un rôle fondamental dans l’histoire du théâtre au XXe siècle soumet ses pièces à une dynamique de création seconde qui fait évoluer sa poétique initiale. Beckett ne considère pas l’œuvre écrite comme une partition dont il faudrait assumer l’exécution. Au contraire, au fil de sa pratique scénique, il les dramatise et les théâtralise, témoignant de l’évolution même de sa conception du théâtre. Il passe d’un « théâtre rêvé » à un « théâtre pratiqué ». Dans ce passage se dévoilent les méandres et les détours d’une écriture dramatique façonnée initialement dans un creuset romanesque, qui va progressivement acquérir une théâtralité plus marquée. La pratique soumet alors la poétique à une dynamique de reprise et d’ajustements dévoilant en définitive un « Beckett en mouvement », qui allie pratique scénique et poétique du drame pour fonder une poétique théâtrale complexeWhile staging Warten auf Godot in 1975 at the Schiller Theater, Beckett says : « I knew nothing about theater when I wrote this. » The use of the past tense points out the fact that between the writing process and the staging process, something has been learnt. What he did ignore is theater as an artistic practice, as a performance. He will discover it progressively during the 1950’s and the 1960’s and eventually will become the director of his own plays. Our work aims at showing how this shift from desk to stage will lead him to rewrite them, carrying on the creative process directly from the theatre, and, in return, how his very conception of directing is shaped by the singularity of these plays. Far from considering stage directing as a mere execution of the stage directions, Beckett dramatizes and theatricalises his works. Thus, his very conception of theater evolves from an abstract vision, drama as it appears in a literary form, to very a practical one, transforming the very theatricality at stake in his plays. Stage directing and theatre writing are then offering a constant interface, which leads to the emergence of what may be called a theatrical creation in which practical standpoint and literary creation are linked together

Tucker, Amanda. "Godot in Earnest: Beckettian Readings of Wilde." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2003. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4248/.
Full textAbstract:
Critics and audiences alike have neglected the idea of Wilde as a precursor to Beckett. But I contend that a closer look at each writer's aesthetic and philosophic tendencies-for instance, their interest in the fluid nature of self, their understanding of identity as a performance, and their belief in language as both a way in and a way out of stagnancy -will connect them in surprising and highly significant ways. This thesis will focus on the ways in which Wilde prefigures Beckett as a dramatist. Indeed, many of the themes that Beckett, free from the constraints of a censor and from the societal restrictions of Victorian England, unabashedly details in his drama are to be found residing obscurely in Wilde. Understanding Beckett's major dramatic themes and motifs therefore yields new strategies for reading Wilde.

Resumo: Considerando o Silêncio como um elemento inerente aos processos de criação do teatro moderno, esta pesquisa dedica-se à investigação do Silêncio na obra "Esperando Godot", de Samuel Beckett, construindo cuidadosa reflexão sobre a sua presença em categorias específicas da dramaturgia beckettiana. As inquietações que surgiram ao longo da pesquisa convergiram para que essa análise se configurasse a partir da seguinte proposição: o Silêncio que subsiste em "Esperando Godot" não se restringe à partitura das rubricas e ao dialogismo pautado na palavra, mas na dialética construída a partir da linguagem de seus elementos cênicos inseridos na escrita e no visual estético. Por ora, esta pesquisa denomina "Caligrafia Apagada" o Silêncio aqui investigado
Abstract: Considering the Silence as an inherent element to creation processes of Modern Theater, this research is devoted to research the Silence on the Play "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett, building careful reflection on its presence in specific categories in the Beckettiana dramaturgy. The concerns that arose during the research have converged to make this analysis shaped by the following proposition: The Silence that remains in "Waiting for Godot" is not restricted to the punctuation of the rubrics and dialogism based on the word, but in the dialectic constructed from the language of their scenic elements inserted in the writing and the visual aesthetic. For now, this research is called "Off Calligraphy" Silence here investigated

Full textAbstract:
La figura del gran ausente es una de las principales influencias de Esperando a Godot del irlandés Samuel Beckett en la obra El señor Galíndez del argentino Eduardo Pavlovsky. A través de un cotejo entre los grandes ausentes de ambas obras se puede delinear mejor cómo el teatro del absurdo europeo estaba preocupado especialmente por condiciones humanas abstractas, mientras el latinoamericano retrataba realidades inmediatas, especialmente, realidades políticas. Las características de la puesta en escena de El señor Galíndez en Lima en 2007, con la “peruanización” del gran ausente, revela que la reflexión sobre la realidad política desde el teatro peruano responde a una tendencia de las artes limeñas a la reflexión por el pasado conflicto interno, particularmente, después de la publicación del Informe de la Comisión de la Verdad y la Reconciliación.

Full textAbstract:
The play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett has for a long time been considered one of his best works. Grasping the significance of key factors such as modernity, modernism and historical background is of great importance to situate and contextualise the play. As Beckett´s play belongs to the “Theatre of the Absurd”, the complicated aspects of where the play belongs has given opportunities for questioning. The intricate layers of the play have opened several doors for interpretation which has allowed diverse conclusions from various researchers. For that reason, further investigation on that matter may perhaps add another viewpoint which can be considered important to fully understand the potential of this piece. This essay examines Samuel Beckett´s famous play Waiting for Godot through the complex lens of Soren Aabaye Kierkegaard´s and Jean-Paul Sartre´s perspectives within the existentialist philosophy. Certain features of each perspectives within the philosophy such as the for-itself,in-itself and the three stages consciousness facilitate the linkage needed between the play and the theory. By using these two perspectives, this essay analyses how the elements of nothingness, purpose and meaning are apparent throughout the play. The analysis of the essay was done to: firstly, attempt to discover new possible meanings and secondly, to deepen and widen my understanding of the Beckett´s play. This essay argues that these elements provide evidence that the play contains components of both Sartre´s and Kierkegaard´s perspective of existentialism.

Full textAbstract:
There are many parallels and points of similarity between the themes of the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the themes explored by Friedrich Nietzsche. This essay examines the play in light of some of Nietzsche’s key concepts, such as the Will to Power, the Übermensch or Overman, the Eternal Recurrence, as well as the aesthetic conception of existence. The essay argues that while Waiting for Godot shares many of the premises and conclusions of Nietzsche’s philosophy, the play can also be interpreted as a critique of the same. The play presents a post-religious world marked by pessimism and resignation rather than affirmation and Nietzschean amor fati. The characters are as far removed from the heroic Overman ideal as can be imagined, unable to harness the Will to Power, which is absent or distorted or even unknowable. Communication is fraught with difficulty and uncertainty. The dynamic of the Eternal Recurrence is present but rather than being affirmed it is a source of crushing boredom, tediousness and existential angst. The characters are unable to embrace the Eternal Recurrence and are in a continual state of mental flight from its implications. They suffer from a vague recollection of the past while projecting their hopes into the future in order to diminish the unbearable suffering of the existing present, or state of perpetual becoming. Beckett can thus be said to be offering a satirical critique of the concept of salvation, both in its traditional religious sense as well as in the sense implied by Nietzsche’s concept of the Eternal Recurrence. However, Beckett does offer a sense of hope by suggesting, paradoxically, that the abandonment of hope of salvation may lead to a sort of salvation of resignation.

Previous issue date: 2016-12-20Esta tese pretende refletir sobre a condição humana na atualidade, a condição do sujeito pós-moderno como aquele suposto ser efeito de uma mutação do discurso que o engendra. E isso numa articulação entre o texto literário de Beckett e conceitos da psicanálise com o objetivo de lançar luz em relação ao que se passa com o sujeito, em nossa contemporaneidade, tanto no âmbito mais geral, no campo da cultura, como no privado de sua experiência. A suposição é a de que alguns sintomas indicam essa mutação: a posição de exílio e de espera em que se encontra o sujeito em questão, a dificuldade para refletir sobre si mesmo em um mundo que tenta expulsar o trágico, seus impasses frente ao necessário da construção de sua posição sexual e de uma ficção que sustente sua vida amorosa lhe permitindo fazer face à angústia e à possibilidade da loucura inerentes à condição humana. Sem recursos, o homem pós-moderno tem sucumbido diante do vazio da existência. A hipótese é que Beckett, como artista contemporâneo, possa instruir sobre esta posição que fala de uma nova economia psíquica. Outra suposição é a de que esse autor, ainda que com uma estética/poética difícil de situar, antecipa o comparecimento desse sujeito com seus personagens e o modo como comparecem em suas páginas e palco. Além disso, trouxe para este trabalho uma tentativa de refletir sobre a criação artística a partir da psicanálise, no intuito de trazer uma contribuição para uma perspectiva psicanalítica de abordar a obra de arte, mais especificamente a obra de Beckett, esse artista criador de vazios.

The purpose of this communication is to present and analyze the representation of theatrical performance Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, promoted by Máskara – Núcleo Transdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Teatro, Dança e Performance, from Escola de Música e Artes Cênicas (EMAC), Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG) in 2005. This examination is based on the concept of performative time drawn from the analysis of prospects that blend the study of performances of Richard Schechner and Victor Turner, with time trials established in studies and reflections of Henri Bergson, Marcel Proust, Reinhart Kosellec and Paul Ricoeur, in conjunction with the practical discussions emerged in the production of Beckett presentation, as well as the dialectic of the human condition and time established by Beckett in that piece. Performers, time and human nature dialogues, construction, perception and representation of theatrical production are made. All these actions will be closely articulated in the development of this research in order to understand and explain this process, and as such proposals reflections approximate the studies inherent Cultural Performances, the work of the Máskara and reflections and concepts proposed by playwright in the theatrical text Waiting for Godot.

Este exame parte do conceito de Tempo Performático elaborado a partir das análises de perspectivas que mesclam os estudos das performances de Richard Schechner e Victor Turner, com os ensaios temporais estabelecidos nos estudos e reflexões de Henri Bergson, Marcel Proust, Reinhart Kosellec e Paul Ricoeur, em conjunto com as práticas discussões emergidas na produção do espetáculo beckettiano, assim como da dialética da condição humana e temporal estabelecida por Beckett na referida peça. São constituídos diálogos performáticos, temporais e de natureza humana, na construção, percepção e representação dessa montagem teatral. Todas essas ações serão minuciosamente articuladas no desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa, com o intuito de entender e explanar esse processo, e, como essas reflexões propostas aproximam-se dos estudos inerentes às Performances Culturais, do trabalho desenvolvido pelo Máskara e das reflexões e conceitos proposto pelo dramaturgo no texto teatral Esperando Godot.

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação tem por objetivo promover um estudo comparado entre dois textos distintos. O ponto de partida deste trabalho é o conto "Sarapalha", presente no livro Sagarana (1946), de João Guimarães Rosa. Trata-se da estória de dois primos maleitosos, Ribeiro e Argemiro, que aguardam diariamente a chegada da febre. Toda a ação se desenvolve em torno de uma situação estática determinada: dois homens, sentados lado a lado, em silêncio (ou trocando palavras vazias), impregnados pela solidão e escravizados por uma rotina angustiante - situação que se desestabiliza no instante em que a dor de uma ausência é revelada. Esse retrato particular desenvolvido por Rosa aponta para uma semelhança notável com Esperando Godot (1952), texto dramático do irlandês Samuel Beckett. Obra de peso na dramaturgia do século XX, Esperando Godot trata da estória de dois mendigos, Vladimir e Estragon, que se encontram diariamente para esperar pelo sempre ausente Godot. Observa-se que a mesma dor insuperável daquelas personagens de Rosa permeia esse texto beckettiano, razão pela qual proponho a sua inserção no presente estudo. Mais do que uma situação semelhante, o parentesco detectado parece revelar uma consciência comum que justifica e move esses discursos. Resgatando experiências filosóficas distintas - como o trágico e o absurdo - este estudo procura verificar convergências e divergências entre os referidos textos. E, no decorrer da pesquisa, essa leitura cruzada deverá encontrar um mesmo sentimento, que abraça e atende a esses discursos. Enfim, a leitura que aqui se efetiva busca realimentar as considerações teóricas sobre ambos os textos, além de inseri-los dentro de uma mesma perspectiva.The objective of this thesis is to promote a study comparing two distinct texts. The starting point for this work is the short story "Sarapalha", present in the book Sagarana (1946), by João Guimarães Rosa. The short story focuses on two cousins with malaria, Ribeiro and Argemiro, who wait daily for the arrival of the fever associated with their illness. All of the action revolves around a single scene: two men sat next to each other, in silence (or exchanging empty words), impregnated by loneliness and enslaved in a distressing routine - a situation which deteriorates at the moment when the pain of an absent woman they are in love with is revealed. This particular scene developed by Rosa shows a remarkable similarity with the Waiting for Godot (1952) a dramatic text by the Irishman Samuel Beckett. An important dramatic work of the twentieth century, Waiting for Godot tells a story of two beggers, Vladimir and Estragon, who meet daily to wait for the ever absent Godot. It can be seen that the same dire pain of the characters created by Rosa pervades the text by Beckett, consequently I have proposed its inclusion in this present study. It is not just a similar situation, for the perceived relationship seems to reveal a common awareness that justifies and drives forward the dialogue. Distinct philosophical experiences are highlighted - such as the tragic and the absurd -, and this study tries to show the convergences and divergences between the two texts. As these two matching texts are studied a feeling of similarity is created which embraces and makes contact with the dialogues. In summary, the essay attempts to reinforce the theoretical considerations of both texts, in addition to inserting them within the same perspective.

Full textAbstract:
This essay discusses the relationship between the characters Vladimir and Estragon in Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot and the vernacular clowning tradition. The discussion is supported by analyzing similarities between Waiting for Godot and Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of grotesque realism as it is presented in his work Rabelais and His World, as well as elements of the Italian Commedia dell’Arte and 20th century silent movie comedy. The essay concludes that Beckett was considerably influenced by vernacular comic elements and utilised these influences in his play Waiting for Godot in order to question the high level of artificiality in Modernist literature.

Full textAbstract:
Jag har i denna studie av Samuel Becketts (1906-1989) två dramer I väntan på Godot (En Attendant Godot) (1952) och Slutspel (Fin de Partie) (1957) studerat dialogen och monologen i de båda dramerna och diskuterat kring vilka slutsatser man därav kan dra om språk och berättande. Fokus har legat på hur dialogen tar sig ut, vilka faktorer den är under stor påverkan av och dess relation till monologens fundamentala roll i Becketts dramer. Analysen har jag delat upp i två delar vilka för sig behandlar var sitt drama i kronologisk ordning. Först I Väntan på Godot och därefter Slutspel. De båda delarna är sedan i sin tur uppdelade i två delar varav den första diskuterar dialogen och den andra monologen. Första delen av analysen av I väntan på Godot har kallats ”Missförstånd och minne” och där har jag reflekterat kring, som titeln avslöjar, missförståndets roll – hur det tar sig ut och varför – samt dialogens påverkan av karaktärernas bristande minne. I delen som följer har jag fokuserat på berättandet i dramat med utgångspunkt i bland annat Pozzos spel och Luckys förbryllande tal. I första delen av analysen av Slutspel, ”Spelet”, har jag studerat dialogen i relation till det spel vilket karaktärerna i dramat utsätter varandra för. Vidare tar jag upp vanan under samma rubrik och hur den påverkat dialogen. I sista delen, ”Hamms berättande”, har jag undersökt Hamms berättelse, vilket även kommer nämnas under rubriken innan, och monologens roll även i detta drama. För att kunna förankra analysen i de båda dramernas handling, vilka i sig stått fokus för en mängd forskning, har jag valt att använda mig av verk vilka presenterar generella och översiktliga tolkningar av Becketts författarskap, t.ex. Charles R. Lyons Samuel Beckett (1983), Richard N. Coes Beckett (1968) samt portalverket till den absurda teatern, Martin Esslins The Theatre of the Absurd (1961). Jag kommer också bland annat använda mig av två samlingar vetenskapliga essäer om Beckett, Samuel Beckett now (1970) och Samuel Beckett: A Collection of Critical Essays (1964) samt en mer språkinriktad studie om Beckett, Six dramatists in search of a language (1975) av Andrew K. Kennedy. Som stöd till analysen kommer även andra skönlitterära verk av Samuel Beckett användas som kan belysa den tematik om språk och berättande vilket kommer diskuteras i denna analys. Analysen kommer vara en närläsning och allt skönlitterärt material kommer vara i svensk översättning.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines the grotesque in Samuel Becketts wellknown play Waiting for Godot. The play is primarily seen as an icon of absurdism, and it is such not appropriate to examine the play as if it belongs to the litterary genre of grotesque. The primary purpose of absurdism is to reveal the pointless- and emptiness of existence. In order to illustrate these points absurdism will often make use of the common characteristics of the grotesque. With this in mind I present, within this essay, an eximination of whether Samuel Becket makes use of these characteristics to assist his portayal of emptiness in Waiting for Godot. A prior understanding of absurdism is required and i have as such primarly used Martin Esslins famous studies. The studies of the grotesque are mainly represented by two theorists. Michail Bachtin's theory is based around the medieval carnival culture, whose archetype was the duality of the body expressed through the pregnant death. Bachtin seeks to highlight the grotesques close connection with laughter as a relief and covers it's use during the middle ages and the renneissance. Wolfgang Kayser studies the term as it is used during the romanticism and modernism. Kayser describes the grotesque as "cold" and alienating. He describes the word as an ”estranged world”. The analysis relies mostly on Bachtin's theories and examines the play from the viewpoint of the picture of the grotesque body, sense of time, the logic of the upside down world and the connection to the carnivals culture of laughter but also examines if Kayser's theories of the ”estranged world” are compatible. Finally, I reach the conclusion that even though Bachtins theory treats the grotesque in a time long before Beckett's, a reading of Waiting for Godot from the perspective of the carnival culture is interesting. The laughter and the open, grotesque body, plays as expected a large role in the handling of the emptiness, the cyclic sense of time is found in the play and never ceases to repeat, the upside down world's logic and it's abolition of hierarchies is significant and the world in the play seems alien to itself.

Le théâtre contemporain chinois a un lien étroit avec le théâtre occidental. Depuis un siècle, le théâtre chinois, notamment le théâtre parlé, analyse et s’approprie les cultures occidentales en filtrant et en reprenant certains points en fonction de ses propres intérêts et de ses présupposés.Cette appropriation s’accompagne d’une série d’opérations théâtrales.Dans cette perspective, nous avons présenté en détail, la réception du théâtre français dans la Chine des quarante dernières années en deux temps : de 1978 à 1992 et de 1993 à 2014, en analysant des cas précis et variés. Nous avons mis l’accent sur les caractéristiques historiques de chaque période qui influencent clairement l’environnement général du théâtre chinois et son rapport avec le théâtre occidental, en précisant l’influence et le rôle majeur qu'a joué le théâtre français dans le paysage de la culture moderne chinoise et notamment ses créations théâtrales.Ses échanges riches avec le théâtre français permettent au théâtre chinois de dialoguer, des’interroger, d’évoluer et de reconstruire sa propre identitéContemporary Chinese theater has a close connection with Western theater. For one century, Chinese theater, and especially spoken theater, has analyzed and appropriated Western cultures by filtering and summing up characteristics according to its own interests and presuppositions.This appropriation is accompanied by a series of theatrical operations.In this perspective, we have presented in detail, analyzing specific and varied cases, the reception of French theater in China of the last forty years in two stages: from 1978 to 1992 and from 1993 to 2014. We have emphasized the historical characteristics of each period, which clearly influence the general environment of Chinese theater and its relation to Western theater, by highlighting the influence and the major role played by French theater in the landscape of modern Chinese culture and especially his theatrical creations. The rich exchanges with Frenchtheater allow the Chinese theater to dialogue, to question, to evolve and to rebuild its ownidentity

This thesis is a research on Samuel Beckett''s plays Waiting for Godot, Endgame and Happy Days--in the light of Mikhail Bakhtin''s theory of Time-Space Continuum. Beckett''s concept of time and space is manifested in these three dramatic works. These plays are crucial for comprehending Beckett''s concerns about human life of our age. Introduce is devoted to explicating how Bakhtin''s theory has helped to analyze Beckettian time-space structure: how time becomes visible in space, how space becomes more concrete in associating with temporal sequences and what relationship exists between Beckettian philosophical ideas and time-space structure. The forms of time and of the chronotope in Beckettian plays are evocative to Bakhtin''s insistence that time and space are inseparable. The basic construction of this thesis is based on Hanna Scolnicov''s division of the theatrical space. She defines the visible space on the stage as the theatrical space within and the invisible space/verbal space as the theatrical space without. Chapter One looks into the space on the stage－the theatrical space within. Analyzing the meaning of every object present on the stage, I focus on spatial dimension first and then their temporal sequences. On the stage, the time is repetitive and the space is changeless. Beckett implies that this is human beings'' life in the earthly world. Applying Bakhtin''s theory about the intersection of time and space to Beckett''s plays, I emphasize the inseparability of time and space. Chapter Two studies the theatrical space without which is invisible to spectators'' naked eyes. The theatrical space without focuses on the places characters mentioned and the time they will be in the future or had been in the past. The unknowable future and fragmented memory about the past make them lost in the flux of time. The discontinuity of time is revealed in the theatrical space without. Chapter Three accounts for the discussion of conceptual space. The relationship between characters and their surroundings is alienation. They fail to recognize their situation. The relationship between characters and characters, the distance in their concept, is inseparable. Beckett regards humans as being thrown into the earthly existence independently. People are interdependent and need companions. Humans need witnesses in order to make sure of our own existence. The last part of my thesis, Conclusion, concludes the foregoing investigation of time-space continuum.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study of the shifting philosophical trends in the works of Samuel Beckett, Donald Barthelme, and Kurt Vonnegut as representations of a greater shift from modernism to postmodernism. I have chosen to explore Beckett's plays Waiting for Godot and Krapp's Last Tape, Barthelme's short stories "Nothing: A Preliminary Account," "The New Music," and "Kierkegaard Unfair to Schlegal," and Vonnegut's book Timequake to see how each author seeks to find a new hope in the face of a collapsed causal system. This work is an examination of the form and content of each author's work as it pertains to their own philosophical standing and in relation to the other two authors' works. I argue that each author finds a different hope for humanity depending on their place among the philosophical trends during their time.Graduation date: 2012
