Full textAbstract:
French as a Second Language (core French) is not often a popular subject among Canadian elementary and high school students. Negative attitudes and low motivation for learning French contribute to attrition at the high school level. In this thesis, an alternative teaching approach is applied to the core French context. This action research study investigates the outcomes of using a drama-based approach to instruct core French to elementary school students. Ten students received core French instruction twice a week over a six-week period. They worked together with a teacher/researcher using drama strategies and improvisational activities to practice and improve their French language and literacy skills.
The use of drama strategies proved motivational for the students who participated with enthusiasm and expressed a desire to continue learning French through drama strategies. The use of improvisational activities encouraged students to build an understanding of vocabulary and syntax and reduced their fear of making mistakes in the target language. It also increased self-confidence and motivation for continuing to learn and use French.
The action research approach combined with the use of drama strategies allowed the students a greater degree of autonomy – their input and feedback was constantly requested and was used to develop content and lesson plans. This engagement in their own learning contributed to improved student attitudes towards attending French class. Overall students expressed enthusiasm for learning French actively, without having to sit at desks or repeat after the teacher throughout the lesson. Ways of implementing this teaching approach in regular classrooms need to be the subject of future research.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis establishes the extent to which theatrical treatments of the notion of women as threat, in England and France from 1553 to 1610, participated in contemporary pro-feminine discourses, and identifies the specificities of female representation in drama as a genre. In studying the diverse theatrical representations of female threat (e.g. political, sexual, ethnic, verbal), it draws on recent studies of gender, sexuality and race in Renaissance France and England. The thesis engages with a broad corpus, which includes relatively little-studied French dramatists such as Etienne Jodelle, Gabriel Bounin, Robert Garnier and Antoine de Montchrestien, and focuses on inconsistencies in representations of femininity, with a view to revealing the ideological tensions and contradictions in the plays’ depictions of threatening female characters drawn from Biblical, classical, or more recent history. This research therefore enhances understanding not only of late sixteenth-century drama, particularly in France, but also of early modern concepts of sexual, class, and racial difference. The thesis illustrates the contested nature of the discourses of class, gender and race in contemporary social debate in this period, indicating the differences between French and English cultures in the modalities of the representation of women, acknowledging the plays’ ambivalence in this respect, rather than minimizing it or explaining it away. It is an interdisciplinary work, drawing on gender and feminist theory, social history, new-historicism, post-colonialism and theories of sexuality, in order to explore concepts, discourses and representations of normative and non-normative femininity in a number of plays. In the plays the female characters are represented as negotiating and subverting the cultural constraints imposed on women, and the gendering of power, violence, language and sexuality. The first chapter analyses the representation of women and power, through the transgression of gender codes and appropriation of masculine values. The threat that women represent is manifested by their rebellion against, resistance to and subversion of patriarchal power and structures, which enable them both to question and to validate them, as power is both fuelled and destabilised by resistance. The second chapter considers the extent to which certain forms of violence are sanctified and others abhorred, in order to acknowledge the threatening potential of female violence and to understand the strategies of social repression of women’s violent instincts and masculine qualities both within the plays and as part of their overall social context. Verbal and psychological violence are addressed in the third chapter which analyses the representation of women as rhetorical threat. Chapter Three demonstrates how women can seduce men with their words, not only to arouse desire but also to provoke action. Seduction can also be physical when the male characters are represented as dependent on women’s beauty, as explored in Chapter Four. The preceding chapters point to one common feature, the imbrication of the issue of gender with those of sexuality, race and class; this is the main concern of the fourth chapter, where the issue of female sexuality is tackled through its link with race.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the figure of Cleopatra in Early Modern English and French tragedy from 1553 to 1635 in the plays of Jodelle, Garnier, Montreux, Sidney, Daniel, Shakespeare, May, Mairet, and Benserade. There has been a dearth of full length studies investigating the figure of Cleopatra, to date only Mathilde Lamy's 2012 thesis has tackled the topic in depth. This thesis considers dramatic tradition, poetics, and contemporary events in order to trace the influences on the development of the figure of Cleopatra. The thesis examines, the authors, their plays, and performance as well as Early Modern English and French poetics before engaging more deeply with the figure of Cleopatra. The characterisation of the figure of Cleopatra is considered together with the notion of exemplarity. Her representation is framed through a discussion of the 'other' in Early Modern thought. Finally a consideration of the politics of speech in the Cleopatra plays links the plays firmly to the external circumstances surrounding their writing. The examination of all of these areas allows for the conclusion that the figure of Cleopatra while influenced by the nationality of the author and the attendant socio-political events, is more strongly effected by differences in poetics and dramatic tradition. The application of this mode of study, considering the changes in a single literary figure across multiple texts, through the lens of poetics, genre, and contemporary events allows not only for the detailed study of a single figure but also allows for some conclusions to be suggested about the changes taking place in literature as a whole throughout the period under consideration.

Notre étude a pour objet d’examiner comment le genre et les relations de pouvoir et d’affinité sont construits à travers le discours dans deux pièces de théâtre françaises et deux pièces de théâtre américaines écrites durant l’époque moderne (1890-1914), Margaret Fleming (1890) de James A. Herne, He and She (1911) de Rachel Crothers, Les avariés (1902) de Eugène Brieux et La triomphatrice (1914) de Marie Lenéru. Le but de l’étude est de combler l’écart entre le champ d’étude du langage et du genre ainsi que dans le champ de l’analyse linguistique des textes de théâtre dans les mondes francophones et anglophones. Pour combler cette lacune, nous avons choisi de développer un modèle d’analyse ancré dans l’évolution récente du champ de langage et de genre tout en prenant en considération l’analyse linguistique des textes de théâtres. Le modèle joint les théories anglophones de l’analyse critique du discours ainsi que les théories de l’analyse du discours françaises et les théories d’énonciation. Notre analyse nous a démontré que dans les pièces françaises et américaines, les systèmes linguistiques français et anglais utilisent les mêmes stratégies et procès linguistiques pour représenter le genre et les relations. Nous avons également constaté que dans les textes dramatiques, le genre est situationnel, dépendant du contexte, et intersectionnel, se croisant avec d’autres catégories tels la classe, l’âge et l’ethnicité, et dans le cas des textes dramatiques, les genres dramatiques et les rôles des personnages. Nos résultats présentent de nouvelles façons d’étudier et de lire le genre dans les discours dramatiques et montrent aussi l’importance de joindre des approches multiculturellesThe purpose of this study was to investigate how gender, and power and affinity relationships areconstructed via discourse in two French and two American plays composed during the modern period (1890-1914): James A. Herne’s Margaret Fleming (1890), Rachel Crothers’s He and She (1911), Eugène Brieux’sLes Avariés (1902), and Marie Lenéru’s La Triomphatrice (1914). The study sought to fill the gap between,on the one hand, research in the field of language and gender that unsystematically analyzed literary anddramatic texts, and, on the other hand, studies in the field of the linguistic analysis of drama that analyzedlanguage and gender in plays without recourse to the theoretical underpinnings in language and genderstudies. To address this gap, a three-partite model analyzing the dramatic text, the situation of enunciation,and gendered discourses was developed, building on Critical Discourse Analysis and French DiscourseAnalysis, as well as research from the fields of language and gender, and the linguistic analysis of drama. Aclose examination of gendered representations and gendered usage using the model revealed that in Frenchand American drama, similar linguistic features are mostly deployed to construct gender and relationships.Results also showed that in dramatic texts, gender is situational, depending on context, and intersectional,often intersecting with other categories like class, age, and ethnicity, and in the case of dramatic texts,dramatic genres and roles. These findings present new ways of researching and reading gender in dramaticdiscourse. They also highlight the importance of combining multi-cultural approaches to analyze gender indramatic texts

Full textAbstract:
Les quarante "Miracles de Nostre Dame par personnages" constituent l'immense majorité du corpus dramatique de langue française du XIVe siècle. Malgré cette importance historique majeure, ces pièces n'ont jusqu'à aujourd'hui pas fait l'objet d'une étude littéraire spécifique. Victimes du manque de légitimité poétique que l'on prête au théâtre médiéval en général, mais aussi tributaires de leur apparente simplicité, ces drames présentent pourtant de nombreuses similarités qui témoignent de l'homogénéité stylistique du corpus. Envisageant tour à tour le corpus en tant que texte, spectacle et livre, le présent travail vise donc à rendre raison de sa concertation dramaturgique. L'étude se donne d'abord pour objet de repérer les lois implicites du recueil : tandis qu'une analyse en synchronie permet de dégager les lois structurelles et discursives du corpus, une étude en diachronie permet de comprendre ses lois de composition, élaborées au fil du temps et des expériences scéniques. C'est finalement dans le dialogue incessant entre la scène et les spectateurs que s'élabore la spécificité du Miracle dramatique, dont la dramaturgie propose une approche singulièrement subtile de son public. Cette relation étroite entre la scène et les spectateurs se poursuit lors du passage des pièces de l'espace scénique à l'espace du livre. Mises en drame, en scène et en texte, ces quarante histoires miraculeuses offrent finalement l'évidence de la profonde cohérence de leurs transpositions successives. Témoignages de la vocation éducative des confréries, elles s'avèrent être de riches et étonnants objets de théâtre, dont la portée esthétique ne s'est pas tout à fait éteinteThe forty "Miracles de Nostre Dame par personnages" stand for the immense majority of the dramatic French-language corpus of the fourteenth century. Despite this major historical importance, these plays have not been the subject of a specific literary study. Despised for the lack of poetic legitimacy attributed to medieval theater in general and for their apparent simplicity, these dramas present many similarities which show the evidence of the stylistic homogeneity of the corpus. Considering in turns the corpus as a text, a show and a book, this work aims to reveal the dramaturgical project behind the plays. First of all, this study intends to identify the implicit laws of the collection. A synchronic analysis allows to identify the structural and discursive laws of the corpus, while a diachronic study reveal its laws of composition, created by succesives scenic experiences. Finally, the specificity of the dramatic Miracle appears to be based on this constant dialogue between the stage and its audience. This close relationship continues as the pieces move from the stage space to the book space. Dramas, stagings and texts, these forty miraculous stories offer the evidence of the deep coherence of their successive transpositions. As these plays are proofs of the brotherhoods' educational vocation, they turn out to be amazing theater objects, whose aesthetic significance has not quite extinguished

Full textAbstract:
Non-francophone teachers of French as a second or additional language (FSL) often struggle with overwhelming oral anxiety, consequent low self-confidence, and workplace marginalisation. Core French or Basic French teachers, in particular, and their subjects have been undervalued (Carr, 2007; Lapkin, McFarlane, & Vandergrift, 2006; Richards, 2002). Moreover, recent national FSL research points to challenges in the areas of teacher attrition, lack of methodological and /or linguistic preparation, and lack of professional development opportunities in the FSL context (Karsenti, 2008; Salvatori, 2007). In this dissertation, I present the findings of my qualitative research study, which examined the conditions and experiences of non-francophone FSL teachers in Manitoba. To do so, I looked at the teachers' relationship with French and how French oral competency and oral language communicative confidence are intertwined to foster the teachers' sense of agency. The theoretical orientations underpinning this study draw from socio-constructivism (Bruner, 1985, 1990; Vygotsky, 1978), Feminist Standpoint theory (De Vault, 1999; Lather, 1991), Bakhtinian dialogism (Vitanova, 2005), and Institutional Ethnography (Smith, 1987, 2005). The lens I used to understand and interpret the voices and self-perceptions of the teachers is Process Drama, delivered in the form of professional development workshops. Process Drama (Heathcote, 1991) consists of thematically based improvisations, which are used to explore a topic and, at the same time, to invite self-exploration. It possesses unique characteristics, and has been successfully used in the second and foreign language classroom (Dicks & Le Blanc, 2009; Kao & O'Neill, 1998; Liu, 2002; Marshke, 2005). My particular focus, however, was on the Manitoba FSL teacher as a student, rather than as a teacher of language. Findings from this study indicate reduced oral anxiety as related to French language competency, reduced performanceLes enseignantes et enseignants non-francophones du français langue seconde et additionnelle (FL2) se trouvent parfois aux prises avec l'anxiété orale, le manque d'estime de soi et la marginalisation au travail. En particulier, les enseignants du Français de base sont souvent sous-valorisés par rapport à la matière enseignée (Richards, 2002 ; Lapkin, McFarlane & Vandergrift, 2006 ; Carr, 2007). Des sondages et des études récentes à l'échelle nationale indiquent des défis dans le domaine de l'attrition professionnelle, du manque de préparation méthodologique et/ou linguistique, et de la pénurie d'occasions de perfectionnement professionnel dans le contexte du FL2 (Salvatori, 2007 ; Karsenti, 2008). Ce mémoire de thèse présente les résultats de mon étude qualitative où j'ai examiné les conditions et les expériences des enseignants non-francophones du FL2 au Manitoba. Je me suis concentrée sur la relation entre l'enseignant et la langue française et comment la compétence orale et la confiance communicative se combinent pour construire l'identité linguistique et l'agentivité du locuteur non-natif. À la base de cette étude, mes orientations théoriques proviennent du socio-constructivisme (Vygotsky, 1978 ; Bruner, 1985, 1990), de la théorie de « Feminist Standpoint » (De Vault, 1999; Lather, 1991), du dialogisme bakhtinien (Vitanova, 2005) et de l'ethnographie institutionnelle (Smith, 1987, 2005). Les voix et les perceptions des enseignants-participants de cette étude sont interprétées sous l'optique du Process Drama. Le Process Drama (Heathcote, 1991) consiste en épisodes thématiques improvisés où les participants explorent un sujet et s'explorent parallèlement. Le Process Drama possède des caractéristiques uniques qui font l'objet de recherche dans des classes de langue seconde et de langue étrangère (Dicks & Le Blanc, 2009 ; Kao & O'Neill, 1998 ; Liu, 2002; Marshke, 2005 ).

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the interrelationship between spatiality and subjecthood in the work of Stéphane Mallarmé, Guillaume Apollinaire, Maurice Maeterlinck, and Alfred Jarry. Concerned with various modes of poetry and drama, it also examines the cross-pollination that can occur between these modes, focusing on a relatively narrow corpus of core texts: Mallarmé’s Igitur (c. 1867-70) and Un Coup de dés (1897); Apollinaire’s “Zone” (1912) and various of his calligrammes; Maeterlinck’s early one-act plays—L’Intruse (1890), Les Aveugles (1890), and Intérieur (1894); and Jarry’s Ubu roi (1896) and César-Antechrist (1895). The poetic and dramatic practices of these four authors are assessed against the broader cultural and philosophical contexts of the fin de siècle. The fin de siècle witnessed a profound epistemological shift: the Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm, increasingly challenged throughout the nineteenth century, was largely dismantled, with ramifications beyond physics, philosophy and psychology. Chapter 1 introduces three foundational notions—Newtonian absolute space, the unitary Cartesian subject, and subject-object dualism—that were challenged and ultimately overthrown in turn-of-the-century science and art. Developments in theatre architecture and typographic design are examined against this philosophical backdrop with a view to establishing a diachronic and interdisciplinary framework of the authors in question. Chapter 2 focuses on the spatial dimension of Mallarmé’s Un Coup de dés and Apollinaire’s calligrammes—works which defamiliarise page-space by undermining various (naturalised) conventions of paginal configuration. In Chapter 3, the notion of liminality (the experience or condition of the betwixt and between) is implemented in an analysis of character and diegetic space as constructed in Jarry’s Ubu roi and Maeterlinck’s one-acts. Chapters 4 and Chapter 5 undertake a more abstract investigation of parallel inverse processes—the subjectivisation of space and the spatialisation of the subject —manifest not only in the works of Mallarmé, Maeterlinck, Apollinaire and Jarry, but in the period’s poetry and drama more generally.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis showcases the work of four costume designers working within the genre of costume drama during the 1950s in France, namely Georges Annenkov, Rosine Delamare, Marcel Escoffier, and Antoine Mayo. In unstitching the cinematic wardrobes of these four designers, the ideological impact of the costumes that underpin this prolific yet undervalued genre are explored. Each designer’s costume is undressed through the identification of and subsequent methodological focus on their signature garment and/or design trademark. Thus the sartorial and cinematic significance of the corset, the crinoline, and accessories, is explored in order to determine an ideological pattern (based in each costumier’s individual design methodology) from which the fabric of this thesis may then be cut. In so doing, the way in which film costume speaks as an independent producer of cinematic meaning may then be uncovered. By viewing costume design as an autonomous ideological system, rather than a part of mise-en-scène subordinate to narrative, this fabric-centric enquiry consolidates Stella Bruzzi’s insightful exploration of film costume in Undressing Cinema, Clothing and Identity in the Movies (1997). Where this study diverges from previous work, however, is in its focus on specific costume designers to illustrate the way in which the costume of costume drama may operate as a complex component of cinematic signification in terms of gender, authenticity, status and power.

Full textAbstract:
The histories of the Theater and of the Novel have rarely been linked to one another. Nevertheless, studying the evolution of the two arts as of the seventeenth century, allows us to pinpoint and define the sources of contamination. It is more precisely in the nineteenth century that the history of both the Theater and the Novel became envenomed, going from fresh influences to disloyal relations during which time the Theater faded by admitting romanesque realism to take the stage. By denying its capacity to reveal the "real", the Theater failed its possibilities and let its art be disinterested from the theatricality showing all that should have been evoked. Men of theater participated at recapturing the theatrical art so to regain confidence on stage and near 1950, an avant-garde movement flourished to favor a renewal of vitality for the theater with a new language which utilizes all of what the scene could provoke. This "New Theater" is soon followed by a similar romanesque enterprise, the "New Novel", a group of novelists also wishing to acknowledge the right to explore a new style of writing.

Full textAbstract:
This study is inspired by social discourse theory and sociocriticism of literature. it aims to describe an organizational system that informs theatre practice in Quebec and to go beyond aesthetic form, critical interpretation and institutional structure to reveal Quebecois theatre in its most synthesized form.To comprehend the model's overall operation, three broad sectors of the theatre's sphere of activity were explored and juxtaposed: institution, reception and creation. For this purpose, a preliminary set of quantitative and discursive data was assembled from a study of the network of professional schools, associations, and festivals in the theatrical milieu. Following this, examination of a number of scholarly texts made it possible to observe the way in which these elements are linked together into a more comprehensive ideological structure, while analysis of a representative body of contemporary (1945--1990) Quebecois plays served to consolidate and refine these observations.
The central thesis of this work is that, at the level of the representation of the "world", there are a series of characteristics that may be thought of as the distinctive elements of Quebecois drama. In general, Quebecois theatre feeds off the denial of the theatrical in order to present itself to the spectator as a site of an impossible theatricality. This dynamic inscribes itself in sociocultural representation in general, and is perceived both in the spatio-temporal dimension of the play, and in the structure of dramatic character and dramatic conflict.

The subject of medicine in the works of Moliere has been traditionally treated as a matter of satire. While it is important to consider this view and while biographical approaches relating Moliere's personal illness to the content of his medical comedy are illuminating, this study proposes that a plurality of views offers a more complete picture. Such analysis discovers that Moliere's medical comedy is much more than satire, that it contains elements of black humor and even approaches the theater of cruelty in its treatment of sickness and death. The metaphor in this approach is in the perception of a composite image of this part of Moliere's theater, much like the pattern that a kaleidoscope discloses. As we may sort out the various elements that compose the kaleidoscopic impression--light and shadow, color, form, change of image through manipulation of the instrument--there is a similarity in the division of elements in Moliere's medical theater. Light and shadow correspond to the opposition of fact and fantasy in seventeenth-century French medicine and constitute the historical view of his work; color corresponds to the notion of Galenic humor theory and suggests that the comedy of character may be analyzed according to humoral temperaments; form corresponds to the language Moliere used in his medical plays; the change of image occurs in Moliere with the passage of time--his medical comedy being farcical at the beginning of his career and much darker towards the end of his life. The purpose of this approach is to identify these separate elements in order to better understand their function as an organic whole. For this reason, the notion of organic unity is also treated. In an effort to relate Moliere's theater to the present day, this study compares Moliere's work with Artaud's notion of the nature and function of theater, with the two meanings of semiology--sign theory and symptomatology, and using an archetypal approach, concludes with the suggestion that sexuality, death, and medicine form a hidden mythology in these plays.

Full textAbstract:
At first glance, the long tradition of Quebecois adaptations of Shakespeare might seem paradoxical, since Quebec is a francophone nation seeking political independence and has little direct connection to the British literary canon. However, it is precisely this cultural distance that allows Quebecois playwrights to play irreverently with Shakespeare and use his texts to explore issues of nation and gender which are closely connected to each other. Soon after the Quiet Revolution, adaptations such as Robert Gurik's Hamlet, prince du Quebec and Jean-Claude Germain's Rodeo et Juliette raised the question "To be or not to be free" in order to interrogate how Quebec could take action to achieve independence. In Macbeth and La tempete, Michel Garneau "tradapts" Shakespeare and situates his texts in the context of the Conquest. Jean-Pierre Ronfard's Lear and Vie et mort du Roi Boiteux carnivalize the nation and permit women to rise to power. Adaptations since 1990 reveal awareness of the need for cultural and gender diversity so that women, queers, and immigrants may contribute more to the nation's development. Since Quebec is simultaneously colonial, neo-colonial, and postcolonial, Quebecois playwrights negotiate differently than English Canadians the fine line between the enrichment of their local culture and its possible contamination, assimilation, or effacement by Shakespeare's overwhelming influence, which thus allows them to appropriate his texts in service of gender issues and the decolonization of the Quebec nation.

Full textAbstract:
Although historians have written extensively on both the early modern era and the development of an absolute monarchy, the history of Jewish communities in France and the role they played has been largely ignored. Beginning with the French Wars of Religion, this study analyzes to what extent France’s religious situation affected the growth of absolutism and how this in turn affected the Jews. Taking advantage of the fractured nature of the early French monarchy, Jews began settling in provinces along the border of both Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. Affected by economic jealousies and cultural perceptions of Jews, the treatment of these communities by local officials led to requests by Jews for royal intervention in these regions. Perceptions of Jews evolved through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as the French Enlightenment influenced the way Jewish characters were presented. This study then ties these perceptions of Jews to the political and economic reality of these communities in an attempt to create a unified history of France’s early modern Jewish population.

Full textAbstract:
The plays of James Boaden, an author all too often forgotten in the pages of theatre history, are usually dismissed by scholars as mercenary adaptations of popular Gothic novels for the stage. Boaden’s plays of the 1790s—Fontainville Forest (1794), The Secret Tribunal (1796), The Italian Monk (1797), Cambro-Britons (1798) and Aurelio and Miranda (1799)—were certainly popular successes in their own time, but this should not discount them from serious consideration as aesthetic and ideological objects. In fact, these plays are intelligently wrought, using popular Gothic conventions to further a conservative ideology that was not originally associated with this genre. This fact has gone unrecognized by scholars partly because these plays have not been previously analysed for their dramaturgical structure as adaptations: Boaden borrows conventions from the Gothic, to be sure, but he also borrows dramaturgical techniques from Shakespeare. In so doing, Boaden harnesses both popular appeal and theatrical legitimacy to write Tory propaganda at a time when the stage was a key tool in the ideological war against France and French sympathizers in Britain. Political threats, both domestic and foreign, were of ongoing concern in Britain in the years following the French Revolution. Immediately after 1789, the Gothic was ideologically charged in ways that promoted revolutionary thinking. Boaden’s adaptation of the Gothic form responds to the revolution and the Reign of Terror by replacing the genre’s iconoclasm with a strongly nationalist orientation, drawn, in part, from eighteenth-century Shakespeare reception, itself often strongly nationalist in tone. Boaden’s plays are reactionary in that they comment on the current political situation, using allegory to play on the audience’s emotions. In his first phase, Boaden depicts the demise of a villainous usurper, a scapegoat figure, but his second phase reintegrates the villain into domestic and social harmony. In so doing, Boaden serves as a case study in the shifting attitude towards Britain’s revolutionary sympathizers, the Jacobins, and illustrates the important use of the Gothic mode for conservative purposes. Boaden emerges, in this study, as a figure whose relevance to theatre history in this fraught period requires reassessment.

Full textAbstract:
La présente étude porte sur la pratique du genre de la tragédie classique au XIXe siècle, en particulier sous la Restauration et la Monarchie de Juillet. Ce qui nous intéresse, ce sont les développements les plus tardifs du genre tragique en France, genre dont nous documentons l’évolution et le déclin progressif au cours de la première moitié du XIXe siècle, c’est-à-dire jusqu’à sa disparition des théâtres français, qui a lieu autour de 1850. En nous basant sur un corpus de quatre-vingt pièces, nous essayons de brosser un tableau complet de la tragédie et des auteurs tragiques de la Restauration et de la Monarchie de Juillet, ou plus exactement des quarante années comprises entre 1814 et 1854. Conçu comme l’étude d’un code littéraire, ce travail s’articule en deux parties : dans la première, nous définissons le code tragique post-napoléonien sur la base des constantes formelles qui le caractérisent, en montrant l’évolution que le genre connaît des points de vue stylistique, structurel et plus strictement dramaturgique ; dans une seconde partie, nous examinons les constantes thématiques de ce code, en étudiant les stratégies par lesquelles la tragédie transpose, à travers les sujets historiques fortement allusifs qu’elle traite, les grandes problématiques politico-sociales de son temps. En documentant la continuité qui existe entre cette tragédie tardive et le drame romantique, nous cherchons enfin à valoriser les pièces de notre corpus et à mettre en évidence leurs traits modernes, ce qui nous conduit à rechercher les raisons de la persistance d’un genre traditionnel comme la tragédie classique et les facteurs qui déterminent sa revitalisation au XIXe siècleThis study concerns the practice of the genre of classical tragedy in the nineteenth century, particularly during the Restoration and the July Monarchy. It focuses on the last developments of tragedy in France and documents the evolution and the progressive decline of this genre during the first half of the nineteenth century; that is until its disappearance from French theatres, which took place around 1850. By considering a corpus of eighty plays, this work aims to give a clear picture of the tragic genre and tragic authors of the Restoration and the July Monarchy, or more exactly of the forty years from 1814 to 1854. This work is conceived as the study of a literary code and is divided into two parts: in the first part, we try to define the tragic code of the post-Napoleonic era on the basis of the formal constants which characterise it, showing the evolution of the stylistic, structural and dramaturgic features of tragedy. In the second part, we look at the thematic constants of this code, studying the strategies that tragedy uses to transpose – through the historical and highly allusive subjects that it treats – the principal social and political problems of its time. Finally, by showing the continuity which exists between the declining tragic genre and the romantic drama, we try to valorise the texts in our corpus and to underline their modern features. This leads us to look for the reasons behind the persistence of a traditional genre like the classical tragedy and for the factors which revitalise it in the nineteenth century

Full textAbstract:
Critical studies on the comic drama of the seventeenth-century French playwright, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin de Moliere (1622-1673), center attention on biography, production, stylistics, and thematic development. Because of the diversity of themes, and because of the considerable productivity of this dramatist, the analyses of the style and substance of these comedies have often been focused on the use of themes or techniques employed in a single comedy or associated with one single sort of comedy. This thesis, "Farce, critique sociale, et ccm6die morale chez Moliere," proposes to deepen, in two ways, our appreciation of Moliere's combined use of themes and techniques that, in turn, create three sorts of comic modes. First, through a close reading of three of Moliere's major plays (Le medecin malgre lul, Les Precieuses ridicules, and Misanthrope), this thesis attempts to describe the techniques that develop and elucidate a particular comic focus, and thereby enhances our awareness of Moliere's recognition of the necessary relationship between theme and technique in the creation of comedy. The description of this use of comic techniques and the subsequent development of themes encourage classification of these representative plays into three sorts: farce, social comedy, and moral comedy. Such a classification thus expands the narrow perspective of criticism, and encourages a study of the necessary relationship between theme and technique and, perhaps, will suggest future study of the development of Moliere's comic artistry.Department of Foreign Languages

Resumo: A presente pesquisa se estrutura por dois eixos principais. O primeiro se orienta pela análise dos processos de transformações das dramaturgias da Companhia Philippe Genty, especialmente a partir da década de 1980. Esse momento foi marcado por mudanças nos processos criativos do grupo, desencadeadas com a inserção do humano na cena como parceiro de jogo do inanimado; com a investigação do corpo, do movimento e de suportes expressivos como o papel e o plástico; com a ressignificação artística de ideias psicanalíticas, possibilitando à Genty desenvolver dramaturgias fincadas na memória, no sonho e nas suas experiências de vida; além do desenvolvimento de novas técnicas cênicas e de novas relações de Philippe Genty e Mary Underwood com as suas criações. O segundo eixo se norteia pelas mudanças acarretadas, a partir de então, na poética da Companhia, que passou a se orientar, cada vez mais, pelos jogos de ilusões capazes de tornar visivelmente possíveis situações insólitas, e pelas dicotomias que nascem do encontro entre o humano e o inumano. O teatro gentyniano desenvolveu-se na direção de um teatro de constantes metamorfoses visuais, que desafia as convenções espaciais, gravitacionais e volumétricas e que amiudadamente coloca o espectador diante de encadeamentos de imagens incomuns e impossíveis
Resume: La présente recherche est structurée en deux axes principaux. Le premier s'oriente sur l'analyse des processus de transformations des dramaturgies de la Compagnie Philippe Genty, particulièrement à partir de la décennie de 1980. Ce moment a été marqué par des changements dans les processus créatifs du groupe, déclenchés par l'insertion de l'humain dans la scène en tant que partenaire de jeu de l'inanimé; avec l'étude du corps, du mouvement et des supports expressifs tels que le papier et le plastique; avec la re-signification artistique des idées psychanalytiques, permettant à Genty de développer des dramaturgies ancrées sur la mémoire, sur le rêve et dans leurs expériences de vie; ainsi que le développement de nouvelles techniques scéniques et de nouvelles relations entre Philippe Genty et Mary Underwood et leurs créations. Le deuxième axe est guidé par les changements apportés, de partir de là, à la poétique de la Compagnie, qui s'est de plus en plus orientée vers les jeux d'illusions capables de rendre visible ment possibles des situations inhabituelles, et par les dichotomies qui naissent de la rencontre entre l'humain et l'inhumain. Le théâtre gentynien a muté vers un théâtre de métamorphoses visuelles constantes, qui défie les conventions spatiales, gravitati onnelles et volumétriques et qui place largement le spectateur devant des fils d'images inhabituelles et impossibles

O objeto da dissertação é a poética do jornalista, poeta, escritor, diretor teatral, dramaturgo e cineasta Armand Gatti, tendo como critério norteador do presente trabalho sua atuação como dramaturgo. No universo de suas peças escritas e publicadas, me concentro naquelas que compõem o Pequeno manual de guerrilha urbana (1968), uma compilação de quatro peças curtas de temática política, escritas pelo autor durante e logo após os eventos de maio de 1968 na Europa. A partir das quatro peças que compõem o Pequeno Manual, comparo a produção gattiniana com a de dois outros autores, o alemão Bertolt Brecht e o brasileiro Augusto Boal, apresento uma amostra da produção dramatúrgica gattiniana - por meio da tradução integral do texto A máquina escavadora ou para entrar no plano de cerceamento da Colônia de Invasão Che Guevara - e demonstro os esforços do autor para prever a participação do espectador teatral desde o momento de escrita de seus textos. Através de suas teorias, Anne Ubersfeld, Jean-Jacques Roubine, Luiz Fernando Ramos, J. Austin e Umberto Eco são os principais autores que oferecem suporte para meu trabalho, em especial na análise das marcas paratextuais inscritas na escrita gattiniana e na relação de sua escrita dramatúrgica com a participação dos espectadores das encenações que dela resultam.
L'objet de ce travail est la poétique du journaliste, poète, écrivain, metteur en scène, dramaturge et cinéaste Armand Gatti. Les critères de orientation adoptés a cette étude sont son travail notamment aux textes théâtrales de cet artiste monégasque basée en France depuis 1924. Dans l'univers de ses écrits et pièces publiées je me concentre sur ceux qui composent Le Petit Manuel de Guérilla Urbaine (1968), une compilation de quatre pièces courtes de thème politique, écrites par l'auteur pendant et peu après les événements de mai 1968 en Europe. En utilisant les parties qui composent le Petit Manuel pour extraire un échantillon de la production de l’auteur, je compare ses oeuvres avec des deux autres hommes: l'allemand Bertolt Brecht et le brésilien Augusto Boal. Par ici je présent une traduction intégrale du texte La Machine Excavatrice – Pour entrer dans le plan de défrichement de la colone d'invasion Che Guevara afin de démontrer les efforts de l'auteur pour assurer la participation du spectateur à partir de la création de leurs textes. Par leurs théories, Anne Ubersfeld, Jean-Jacques Roubine, Luiz Fernando Ramos, J. Austin et Umberto Eco sont les principaux auteurs qui soutiennent mon travail, en particulier dans l'analyse des marques paratextuels de Gatti entrés par écrit et par rapport à leur dramaturgie.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse porte sur la maladie mentale dans les écritures dramatiques contemporaines d’expression française ainsi que son incidence sur la mise en scène. Le théâtre s’est toujours intéressé à la maladie mentale, et pour certains chercheurs l’art dramatique va même trouver son origine dans celle-ci, à travers des rituels consacrés à la transe et aux rêves. Après un rappel des grands « fous » qui peuplent l’histoire du théâtre européen, que ce soit dans les tragédies grecques, le théâtre shakespearien ou le théâtre classique (nous verrons ainsi que la « folie » sur scène est un thème qui a traversé les siècles), nous nous focaliserons sur une période d’ « ultra-contemporanéité » : en effet, l’essentiel de la thèse portera sur des pièces ne remontant pas au-delà du début des années quatre-vingt. Cela nous permettra de voir que malgré la démocratisation de la psychanalyse, de la psychiatrie et de la psychologie, toutes ces disciplines restent fascinantes et un peu mystérieuses, et que les auteurs aiment à manipuler l’ambigüité entre maladie mentale et originalité du comportementThe thesis is about mental disorders in French contemporary drama as well as their representations on stage. Theatre has always been concerned by mental diseases and for some researchers origins of the dramatic art have to be found in rituals and dreams. After a recall of the most famous “fools” presents in the history of European drama (Greek tragedies, Shakespeare’s plays or classic French drama) – we will see that “madness” is a long-lasting theme. We will focus on contemporary period: in fact, this thesis studies plays which were written since the beginning of the eighties. We could see that, despite the democratization of psychoanalyse, psychiatry and psychology, they all remain mysterious and fascinating. Playwrights like to use ambiguities about mental disorders and original behaviour

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes to apply Queer theory as the framework for examining Michel Marc Bouchard's play Les Feluettes. This study is built around two methodological axes, one being the analysis of dialogue; the second, the application of Queer theory. Dialogue and staging are scrutinized in an effort to discover the Queer. The links between sex, power, language and knowledge will be specifically studied. The intention is to show how their relationship, based on opposition, can be modified by a subversive discourse. By way of introduction, a brief discussion of Queer theory will be presented to familiarize the reader with its origins, sources of inspiration and strategies of deconstruction. The first chapter will focus on the homosexual's interior monologue. Chapter two will focus on the homosexual's dialogue with other homosexuals. The third, and final chapter, will round out the analysis by studying the dialogue between the homosexual and heterosexuals. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

La présente étude a pour but d’examiner comment un groupe d’enseignants suédois travaille en pratique avec les activités dramatiques en classe de FLE. De plus, l’étude a l’objectif d’analyser les attitudes de ces enseignants concernant l’emploi de cette méthode de travail et les facteurs qui influencent leur choix d’activités pour développer la communication orale en classe de FLE. Après une analyse de notre corpus, qui comprend des interviews avec quatre enseignantes et douze réponses à une enquête, nous avons tiré la conclusion que les enseignants ont en général une attitude positive au sujet de l’emploi des pratiques théâtrales comme outil alternatif dans l’enseignement du FLE. De plus, ils sont conscients de tous les avantages que possède cette activité pédagogique. Cependant, ils n’utilisent pas toujours la notion de pratiques théâtrales dans le sens de simulacre ou d’imitation d’un état en vue d’entrainer à la fois la communication verbale et non-verbale comme il arrive dans la vie quotidienne, et comme nous l’avons décrit dans notre premier mémoire (Le théâtre éducatif dans l’enseignement du FLE, Mihart, 2016).The aim of this study is to investigate how a group of Swedish teachers works with creative drama activities when teaching French as a foreign language. Also, the aim is to analyse the teachers’ attitudes towards the use of these activities, as well as the factors influencing their choice of activities in order to develop the pupils’ oral communication skills. After an analysis of the corpus, which includes interviews with four teachers and twelve responses to a survey, the conclusion is that, in general, teachers have a positive attitude towards the use of creative drama activities as an alternative method when teaching French as a foreign language. Moreover, they are aware of all the advantages that this pedagogical tool implies. Nevertheless, they do not always use the concept of creative drama in the sense of "simulacre", or imitation of real life events, which involves both verbal and non-verbal communication, as it has been described in the first paper, namely Le théâtre éducatif dans l’enseignement du FLE (Mihart, 2016).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of the effects of translation into French and of adaptation for the stage, in English, on the dialogue of Philip Pullman’s novel Northern Lights (published in North America as The Golden Compass). The study focuses on the speech of Lyra, the novel’s protagonist, in terms of both its linguistic qualities and the functions it supports within the novel and the trilogy of which it forms part, His Dark Materials. The study aims to identify the ways in which not just the linguistic surface of fictional speech is affected by translation and adaptation but also the degree to which the roles played by the dialogue in the source text are reflected or transformed in the different versions. The unusual research design, involving a comparison of the effects of interlingual translation and intermedial adaptation on the same text, consists of two main elements. In the first quantitative section, the relative incidence of three variables is measured for the purposes of identifying how features of spoken style and non-standard variation are treated. This analysis is followed by a detailed qualitative evaluation of a small number of dialogue passages that exemplify the key linguistic features and likely textual functions of Lyra’s speech in the novel. The passages concerned are compared with equivalent stretches of dialogue in the French translation and the theatrical script. The study finds evidence to suggest that Pullman uses dialogue in support of characterisation, plot, and also ideological and intertextual concerns. All of these aspects are affected, in subtle but significant ways, by the different decisions made by the translator and the dramatist in respect of Lyra’s speech. The study also finds that aspects of both user-related and situation-related variation in fictional speech may be worthy of further research.

Full textAbstract:
Les dramaturgies contemporaines répondent à l’exigence d’une écriture du temps au théâtre en renouvelant notamment leur forme, leur langue et leur adresse. Le drame n’est plus « action » au présent. Il devient l’expression d’un retour, celui du passé. Le jeu avec le passé est le va-et-vient sans fin et toujours renouvelé du passé vers le drame et du drame vers le passé. Cette étude se concentre sur neuf pièces écrites entre 1980 et 2000 par trois dramaturges français, Patrick Kermann, Jean-Luc Lagarce et Philippe Minyana. Dans ces écritures, le passé revendique sa place [et la prend] dans l’actualité de la représentation. En investissant toute la structure du drame, il bouleverse l’organisation du discours, la représentation de l’espace et la possibilité de l’action. Cette revendication s’effectue également à la faveur du retour des morts et sur la mort. Tandis que la catastrophe a déjà eu lieu, le désastre continue d’abîmer et déconstruire la fable. Joués par le passé, le drame et ses protagonistes témoignent d’un héritage « sans testament ». Privé d’identité, le personnage accepte ou subit le jeu sans pour autant parvenir toujours à en proposer une interprétationContemporary theatre answers the requirement of a theater writing of the time by renewing in particular its form, its language and its addressee. Drama is no longer an “action” taking place in the present. It becomes the expression of a return, that of the past. Playing with the past corresponds to endless comings and goings from the past to drama and from drama to the past. This study focuses on nine plays written between 1980 and 2000 by three French dramatists, Patrick Kermann, Jean-Luc Lagarce and Philippe Minyana. In these writings, the past claims its place [and takes it] in the performance actuality. By investing the whole drama structure, it disrupts the organization of speech, the representation of space and the possibility of action. This claiming also proceeds from the return of the dead and to death. Whereas catastrophe already took place, disaster keeps on damaging and deconstructing the fable. Played by the past, drama and its protagonists testify an inheritance left “by no testament”. Deprived of identity, the character accepts or suffers the way he is played, without necessarily and systematically managing to offer an interpretation

Full textAbstract:
Le second dix-huitième siècle est marqué par une profonde reconfiguration du cadre politique qui se traduit par un essor concomitant de la critique publique et du patriotisme. Le théâtre participe au mouvement. Dans le sillage de Voltaire, des auteurs très divers s’emparent de l’Histoire de France, renouvelant les genres théâtraux et le rapport au spectacle. Aux pièces épiques ou sentimentales du « genre troubadour » s’ajoutent bientôt les anecdotes biographiques consacrées aux Grands Hommes, puis les « apothéoses dramatiques » et les « faits historiques » contemporains de la Révolution. Cet ensemble hétéroclite de pièces jouées sur des théâtres officiels, en société ou seulement diffusées par écrit, constitue ce que nous appelons le théâtre national des Lumières et de la Révolution. À travers l’étude des textes et de leur réception, nous analysons comment la représentation de l’Histoire de France participe aux transformations des mentalités, selon un effet de miroir passé-présent plus ou moins explicite. Aux enjeux esthétiques et dramaturgiques emblématiques de cette période charnière entre classicisme et romantisme, le théâtre national mêle des enjeux politiques et mémoriels : plus qu’un divertissement moral, il est conçu comme un dispositif civique. Il construit un patrimoine historique collectif avec des mythes et des légendes, mais les intentions idéologiques divergentes des auteurs et la participation active des publics en font un lieu de dissensus. Le théâtre national médiatise également les tensions de la société et recherche des émotions qui oscillent entre l’admiration, l’attendrissement, la déploration indignée et l’horreur face aux blessures du passéThe second half of the eighteenth-century is characterized by a thorough transformation of the political world, a change which reflected the simultaneous development of public criticism and patriotism. Theatre plays a key role in this process. Following Voltaire, a variety of playwrights use French history for their plots, and in so doing they update genres and audience expectations. Alongside epic or sentimental plays of the troubadour genre, bio-dramas of “Great Men” soon appeared, followed by dramatic apotheoses and the Revolution’s “faits historiques”. This varied corpus of plays – performed ¬ or not, on official or private stages – constitutes what we may call the national drama of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution.By studying these texts and their reception, I analyse how the theatrical representation of French history and its ability to act as a mirror between the past and the present contribute to the contemporary changes in thought. National drama not only showcases the esthetical and dramaturgic debates of this turning point between classicism and romanticism, but it additionally implicates issues of politics and memory: it is more than simple moral entertainment, it has civic value. These productions create a collective historical heritage with its own myths and legends, but the playwrights’ contradictory ideological intentions and the audiences’ active participation also make this theatre a site of dissent. National drama also expresses contemporary social strains and seeks to evoke specific emotions such as admiration, empathy, outrage and horror in the face of the past’s wounds

Elle scinde l’activité théâtrale de Krejča en Belgique en deux parties, chacune placée sous le sceau d’une réalité politique différente. La première correspond à un moment de détente dans le paysage politique tchécoslovaque et débute avant la création du Divadlo za branou. Assimilée à la seconde avant-garde théâtrale tchèque, elle inaugure aussi la série de succès internationaux de Krejča dans des pays non socialistes. La seconde période survient après la liquidation du Divadlo za branou par les autorités communistes tchécoslovaques et après le départ de Krejča en semi exil. Théâtralement, la Belgique francophone est alors en pleine émulation, qui s’observe notamment dans les propositions artistiques du « Jeune théâtre » (1976-1986). L’arrivée de Krejča, dans les années 1960, sur la scène du Théâtre National de Belgique s’inscrit dans la dynamique des échanges théâtraux européens et dans une volonté diplomatique de rapprochement entre la Tchécoslovaquie et la Belgique. La thèse insiste sur ces rencontres entre les artistes belges francophones et les artistes internationaux car elles jouent un rôle fondamental, auquel prend part Krejča, dans l’histoire du théâtre belge de langue française. Fort de sa réappropriation de la tradition théâtrale tchèque et des concepts de Stanislavskij, Krejča est l’un des premiers à apporter en Belgique francophone un regard dépassant la dimension représentationnelle de la première lecture du texte et à proposer une alternative au manque laissé par le retard de l’avant-garde théâtrale belge francophone. Sa poétique, principalement influencée par le théâtre atelier d’E.F. Burian, le théâtre poétique de Frejka, le civilisme d’Hilar, les théories préfigurant la sémiologie théâtrale initiée par l’école de Prague et par les développements du « Mchat », rencontre un accueil mitigé parmi les journalistes polygraphes mais ne manque pas d’impressionner certains animateurs de la scène théâtrale belge à l’instar de Janine Patrick ou de Marc Liebens. Aussi trouve-t-elle notamment un prolongement dans le Théâtre du Parvis.
La thèse situe l’apport le plus évident de la poétique krejčaïenne en Belgique francophone dans le traitement dramaturgique, polyphonique et préfigurant le théâtre postdramatique, que le metteur en scène propose. A Louvain-la-Neuve, c’est à nouveau la puissance de la tradition tchèque et la conviction philosophique de Krejča qui impressionnent ses collaborateurs et se déclinent à travers les excroissances théâtrales francophones belges dont la plus manifeste est une expérience théâtrale, toujours en cours aujourd’hui :le théâtre de l’Éveil.
La dissertation délimite d’abord les spécificités de la poétique théâtrale de Krejča, puis, après une analyse des mises en scène de Krejča, elle retrace et détaille les diverses formes sous lesquelles son esthétique se manifeste :transmission d’un héritage théâtral (avant-garde historique tchèque, sémiologie théâtrale développée par l’Ecole de Prague) et littéraire (mise à l’honneur de Schnitzler et de Nestroy), prolongement de la recherche théâtrale jusqu’à l’approche postdramatique (révélation de la dramaticité des pièces de Tchékhov, importation du théâtre musical), regards dramaturgique et philosophique, écriture dramatique (influence sur l’écriture d'auteurs dramatiques, Krejča-personnage dans des pièces d’acteur)…
/ The thesis focuses on Czech theatre from first avant-garde to second avant-garde; mainly it is focusing on Otomar Krejča’s theatre and its relationship with Belgian theatre within the second Czech avant-garde theatre to the end of the Normalization.
Krejča worked an intensive part of his artistic life in Belgium. His Belgian theatrical activity can be divided into two distinct periods. The first one was coinciding with the foundation of his “Theatre Beyond the Gate” (Divadlo za branou) in Prague in 1965 and took place in the Belgian National Theatre in Brussels. Those years were squaring with Czechoslovakian destalinization and were particularly productive in the artistic field. In Brussels Krejča directed four plays: in 1965, Hamlet, in 1966, The Seagull, in 1970, Three Sisters, in 1978, Romeo and Juliet. The first three plays occurred before the Normalization and his departure in specific exile. The last one marked the beginning of his second period in Belgium, closely bound to Louvain-la-Neuve city. The two following Krejča’s productions were first created for the Festival d’Avignon: in 1978, Waiting for Godot and Lorenzaccio in 1979, before being performed at Atelier théâtral Jean Vilar in Louvain-La-Neuve. The three following plays were the last of Krejča’s Belgian works: Three Sisters in 1980, A. Schnitzler’s The Green Cockatoo in 1981 and Dostoevsky’s The Possessed adapted by Krejča himself in 1982.
In Belgium, the reception of his plays was mitigated. Duality between critics can be explained by Krejča’s new regard on plays, by Krejča’s use of dramaturgy. Krejča’s productions in Belgium were innovating because through dramaturgy they paved the way for something new :it was the end of a romantic Hamlet in the Shakespearian tradition and the end of Pitoëff’s aesthetic in Chechov’s productions.
Krejča’s work of art, impregnated by Czech tradition theatre of avant-garde, influenced his Belgian collaborators. Krejča was influenced by leaders in Czech first avant-garde theatre such as Burian, Frejka, theatrical theory of Honzl and Hilar’s theatre conception. When Krejča started to work in Belgium, the country was undergoing a theatrical revolution. At the end of the 1960s, French-speaking Belgium lived at the rhythm of its first avant-garde in staging. According to me, this fact is the main explanation to Krejča’s significance in French-speaking Belgium. Thanks to Krejča’s Belgian productions, a part of the first Czech theatrical avant-garde and the second Czech theatrical avant-garde penetrated in Belgium.
All of Krejča’s concepts (human beings, ethic of responsibility, importance of dramaturgy, personal appropriation of Stanislavski’s approach) slowly instilled French-speaking Belgian theatrical life. Sure an evident mark of continuity of his aesthetic cannot be seen in the long time, nevertheless Krejča’s influence was considerable and briefly materialized in many fields. It is obviously still vivid in the way some actors play, feel and teach theatre.

Denna kandidatuppsats utgår från en egen översättning från franska till svenska av delar ur pjäsen Hôtel Pacifiqueav den franskkanadensiska författaren Fanny Britt.Syftet med examensarbetet är, förutom att skapa en spelbar text som fungerar i sin målspråkskontext, att undersöka det specifika i att översätta dramatik. I syftet ingår också att belysa och skapa förståelse för Québecfranskan och problem relaterade till att översätta språklig varietet. Det talade ordet står genomgående i fokus: replikerna i dramatexten och de karaktäristiska muntliga dragen för Québecfranskan. Newmarks kommunikativa översättningsmetod används som övergripande översättningsprincip för arbetet och visar sig vara kompatibel med texttypen trots vissa undantag. Resultatet blev en modern svensk pjäs med talspråkligt och idiomatiskt språk i replikerna. För att avgöra om texten är spelbar krävs dock att dramat uppförs på scen, vilket är ett framtida mål.This essay is based on my own translation from French to Swedish of parts of the play Hôtel Pacifiqueby the Québécois author Fanny Britt. The purpose of the essay, apart from creating a text performable in its target language context, is to discuss and analyze the specialized nature of translating drama. The essay also aims to provide new perspectives on Québécois French and problems related to translating language varieties. The spoken word is the focal point: i.e. the lines of the drama and the characteristic oral features of Québécois French. Newmark's communicative translation method is used as the main translation principle. The method proves to be compatible with the text type despite certain exceptions. The result was a modern Swedish play with colloquial and idiomatic language. However, in order to determine if the text is performable, the drama must be presented on stage, which is a future goal.

Full textAbstract:
Dès 1830, le théâtre s’empare du thème de la conquête de l’Algérie puis il accompagne l’expansion coloniale en Afrique du Nord, événements majeurs qui ont marqué la vie politique française du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle. Véritable phénomène social et culturel de masse, il a fortement contribué à imposer l’esprit colonial et l’idée d’empire dans les mentalités. Mais dans quelle mesure exacte a-t-il été un acteur culturel de cette politique d’expansion et de domination ? Avec quelle fréquence, quelles inflexions ? Quelles représentations de l’« Arabe » a-t-il véhiculé, et comment les a-t-il transformées en discours idéologiques, reçus en direct par un public donné ? A-t-il été aussi le lieu d’une prise de distance, voire d’une contestation de la colonisation ? Au théâtre, l’altérité est mise en mots, mais aussi et surtout portée sur scène, par le corps et la voix du comédien, presque toujours français et blanc. L’autre, « indigène », celui qui interpelle, inquiète ou fascine, acquiert une visibilité accrue, le temps de la représentation. L’altérité est réduite par certains auteurs à des stéréotypes que d’autres mettent au contraire en question. L’image de l’Arabe, mais aussi du Kabyle, du Touareg et du métissé, a suivi les courants idéologiques qui ont sous-tendu les grandes étapes de l’expansion coloniale, jusqu’aux prémices des mouvements de décolonisation. Sur le plan esthétique, la représentation de l’« Arabe » est-elle l’occasion d’un renouvellement en matière de jeu, de langage, de décor et de costume ? La recherche de l’« exotisme » dans les formes spectaculaires laisse-t-elle parfois place au souci de rencontre et (re)connaissance de l’autre ? La portée à la fois littéraire, culturelle, sociale et historique du sujet nécessite de mobiliser et croiser des approches esthétique, dramaturgique, sociocritique et postcolonialeSince 1830, drama has taken over the Algerian conquest theme then backed the colonial expansion in North Africa, two major events which marked French political life from the 19th century to the early 20th century. As a real social and cultural overall phenomenon, it has strongly contributed to impose the colonial spirit and the empire idea into people's minds. But to what extent exactly has it played a cultural role in this expansion and domination policy? At what frequency and with which inflexions? Which representations of the "Arab" has drama conveyed, and how has it transformed them into an ideological discourse, through a live performance received by a given audience? Has it also been a place of distancing, even contesting colonization? Otherness is put into words with drama, but it is also and mostly brought onto the scene through the body and the voice of the actor, almost always French and white. The other "native", the one who puts question, worries or fascinates, gains an enhanced visibility, for the time of the performance. Otherness is reduced to stereotypes by some authors while others call them into question. The image of the Arab – but also of the Kabylian, the Tuareg, and the mixed-race – has followed the ideological currents that have underlain the great steps of the colonial expansion, until the beginnings of the decolonization movement. On the aesthetic level, is the representation of the "Arab" the opportunity of a renewal in terms of performance, language, setting, and costumes? Does seeking "exoticism" in spectacular forms give sometimes way to concern about meeting and knowing, or acknowledging, the other? The literary, cultural, social and historical significance of the subject requires to mobilize and cross aesthetic, dramaturgic, sociocritical and post colonial approaches

Full textAbstract:
The various transformations that Quebec society was undergoing throughout the 1980s are reflected in the dramaturgy of the period, notably in the critique of nationalist discourse, and in the writing of hitherto marginalized groups such as women, immigrants, and gays and lesbians.The tensions within the family unit are one of the leitmotivs of Quebec theatre in the 1980s, which usually represents the mother either as a sort of monster who suffocates her children, or as a victim of the Law of the Father. When a woman decides to speak and to redefine motherhood, this dual model of the "patriarchal mother" crumbles and the universe of the family must be reconfigured.
In this thesis, we propose a semiological analysis for each of the plays of our corpus. The first chapter analyzes Addolorata, by Marco Micone. In this play, the mother's taking possession of speech not only destabilizes her family but also calls into question established structures within the Italo-Quebecois community. The second chapter examines Marie Laberge's Aurelie, ma soeur, a play which illustrates the (re)construction of the family unit around a nonbiological maternal bond. The third and final chapter studies Michel Marc Bouchard's Les Muses orphelines, in which access to speech and to the condition of mother is achieved through lies and truth. In the conclusion of this thesis, we bring together the principal characteristics of the feminine and maternal voices which are heard in the three plays, voices which are all defined by the desire, the need to affirm their subjectivity.

L’objectif de ce mémoire est d’étudier le rôle que le théâtre éducatif peut avoir sur le développement de la compétence de communication orale dans l’enseignement du français langue étrangère (en abrégé FLE) en cadre scolaire. La recherche montre que le théâtre éducatif donne aux élèves la possibilité d’utiliser leurs compétences linguistiques en les préparant pour des situations réelles. Il leur donne aussi l’occasion de découvrir toutes les émotions et tous les mouvements physiques qui font partie d’une langue vivante.This thesis aims at studying the role that educational drama can have on the development of oral communication skills when teaching French as a foreign language in the classroom. Research shows that creative drama gives pupils the opportunity to use their language skills, as well as it prepares them for real life situations. Moreover, it gives them the opportunity to experience the emotions and the body movements that come with a living language.

Full textAbstract:
La production dramatique de Jean-François-Louis-Népomucène Lemercier s’inscrit justement dans ce moment de transition entre ce que l’on a appelé Néoclassicisme et le Romantisme. Né en 1771 et mort en 1840, cet homme de lettres et académicien a assisté aux bouleversements qui ont caractérisé l’histoire de France du tournant des Lumières jusqu’à la Révolution de Juillet et même après. L’étendue de sa vie et surtout de son activité de dramaturge dépassent donc amplement ce « long dix-huitième siècle » que l’histoire littéraire tend à prolonger jusqu’en 1820. Ce travail s’intéresse donc à la production d’un dramaturge qui, dans son ambigüité intrinsèque, s’avère à plusieurs égards révélatrice d’une ambigüité caractérisant de manière plus générale l’ensemble de cette période de transition. Auteur de celle que l’on retient souvent comme la dernière tragédie classique – c’est le cas de son Agamemnon de 1797 – Lemercier est également considéré, déjà à partir du dix-neuvième siècle et notamment par Schlegel, comme l’un des premiers auteurs proprement romantiques, son Pinto de 1800 étant justement une protoforme de drame romantique. Ce travail se compose de deux grandes parties, la première consistant en une étude monographique sur l’ensemble de la production dramatique de Lemercier, la deuxième en une édition critique des œuvres majeures du dramaturge, son Agamemnon, qui représente un de plus grands succès tragiques de la période directoriale dont les reprises continuent jusqu’en 1826, et Pinto, une « comédie historique » qui fut en revanche un succès de scandale lors de sa création à la Comédie-Française et qui encourût par la suite la désapprobation de cinq régimes politiquesThe dramatic productions of Jean-François-Louis Népomucène Lemercier (1771-1840) reveal a transition between Neoclassicism, Preromanticism and Romanticism. This writer and academician witnessed the political and social upheavals that characterized France from the twilight of the Enlightenment until the July Revolution and thereafter. The span of his life and works amply exceeds the "long Eighteenth Century" that literary historians have extended to 1820 (Claude Pichois). This dissertation includes two main parts: a monographic study of Lemercier’s dramatic production and a critical edition of the playwright’s major works, Agamemnon (1797), one of the most successful tragedies during the “Directoire” and to 1826; and Pinto, a “historical comedy” composed between 1798 and 1800, and which was seen as a “romantic” triumph in 1834. Lemercier has often been regarded as the author of one of the last classical tragedies (Agamemnon i.e.); nevertheless, in spite of being, at times, one of Romanticism’s fiercest detractors, he emerges in Nineteenth century criticism – and above all in Schlegel’s writings – as one of the most influential pioneers of romantic drama. The intrinsic ambiguity of Lemercier’s dramatic production reveals the uncertainties of this transitional age. This ambiguity thus demands a holistic approach: the context of Lemercier’s literary works will be analyzed from an esthetic, historical and political point of view, emphasizing their intricate relationships with literary and political authorities and censorship issues throughout the period
La produzione drammatica di Jean-François-Louis Népomucène Lemercier si inserisce in quel momento di transizione tra Neoclassicismo, Preromanticismo e Romanticismo che caratterizza gli ultimi anni del Diciottesimo e il primo trentennio del Diciannovesimo secolo. Nato nel 1771 e morto nel 1840, questo scrittore e accademico ha assistito agli sconvolgimenti che hanno caratterizzato la storia della Francia dal tournant des Lumières fino alla Rivoluzione di Luglio e anche oltre. La sua vita e la sua attività poetica oltrepassano ampiamente il “lungo Settecento” che la storia letteraria tende ad estendere sino al 1820 già a partire dalla periodizzazione proposta da Claude Pichois. Questo lavoro si concentra sulla produzione di un autore che, nella sua intrinseca ambiguità, è sotto molti aspetti indicativa di un’indeterminatezza che caratterizza più in generale questo periodo di transizione estetico-letteraria. Spesso considerato, in primis da Madame de Stael, come l’autore dell’ultima tragedia classica - è il caso di Agamemnon del 1797 - Lemercier è stato visto, già a partire dal XIX secolo e in particolare da Schlegel, come uno dei primi autori di drammi romantici, di cui Pinto, ou la journée d’une conspiration (1800) rappresenterebbe una protoforma. Il presente lavoro, che si focalizza sul macrotesto teatrale di Lemercier senza tuttavia negligere altri aspetti della sua variegata opera, consta essenzialmente di due sezioni, una dedicata allo studio del macrotesto teatrale dell’autore, con un’attenzione particolare al contesto-storico letterario e alla ricezione; l’altra all’edizione di due opere, Agamemnon e Pinto, che rappresentano per molti aspetti due degli esempi più significativi della sua produzione drammatica. Il rapporto conflittuale di Lemercier con l’autorità politica e con la nascente “scuola” romantica saranno inoltre oggetto di questa riflessione

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet l’étude des métamorphoses de l’écriture de Marguerite Duras. Elle se fonde sur une analyse de ses romans où nous lisons d’abord une conformité aux lois du genre romanesque, puis une révolte qui se traduit par une déconstruction générique et scripturaire. Notre travail consiste en une étude des noyaux de nouveauté qui se trouvent en germes dans la période de conservatisme et leur éclosion qui innove par la suite l’écriture de l’auteur. Ces noyaux, particulièrement liés aux formes dramatiques et poétiques, seront soulignés dans leur développement et dans la façon dont ils transforment l’écriture romanesqueThis thesis investigates the metamorphoses of Marguerite Duras’ writing. It is based on an analysis of her novels where we can first read a compliance to the laws of the traditional novel, then a rebellion against any kind of generic or scriptural constraint. Our work consists in studying the germs of innovation of the conservative period and their blossoming that progressively innovates the author’s writing. We emphasize on these nuclei particularly related to dramatic and poetic forms, and on their development, as well as on the way they transform Marguerite Duras’ novel

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse présente l’édition critique du Mystère des trois doms (1509), d’après un manuscrit unique aujourd’hui conservé à la Bibliothèque nationale de France sous la cote n.a.f 18995. Ce texte dramatique en moyen français d’environ 11000 vers raconte la conversion puis le martyre des trois saints patrons de la ville de Romans, Séverin, Exupère, et Félicien ; il a été composé en vue d’une représentation, qui eut lieu trois jours durant dans cette même ville les 27, 28 et 29 mai 1509. Notre travail comporte plusieurs aspects distincts et complémentaires : une analyse philologique et historique, une présentation littéraire et une étude linguistique. Après avoir présenté les objectifs de notre travail, nous analysons la préparation de la représentation de 1509, tant du point de vue de l’écriture du mystère (analyse du manuscrit et des différentes étapes de sa composition) que du point de vue de la réalisation matérielle de l’entreprise (construction du théâtre et des décors). Nous possédons en effet également le livre des comptes du mystère, qui contient de précieuses informations sur les modalités d’organisation de sa représentation : il s’agit d’un cas unique, ce texte est donc d’une grande importance pour l’histoire du théâtre en France. Nous proposons ensuite une présentation du texte du mystère, une analyse des sources, de la mise en scène, et quelques éléments de versification et de stylistique. La langue du mystère étant d’une grande richesse, notre étude linguistique s’intéresse à plusieurs aspects : les systèmes graphiques des différents scribes, la régionalité de la langue et la représentation de l’oralité. Nous présentons enfin les principes qui ont guidé l’édition critique des trois journées du mystère. Celle-ci est suivie d’un relevé des nombreuses variantes et corrections contenues dans le manuscrit, de notes portant sur le texte, d’un glossaire et d’une bibliographie ; le volume contient enfin en annexes plusieurs planches du manuscritThis thesis presents a critical edition of the Mystère des Trois Doms (1509), from a single manuscript now kept in the National Library of France under the reference n.a.f 18995. This drama play in Middle French contains approximately 11,000 verses, and tells the conversion and martyrdom of the three patron saints of the town of Romans, Séverin, Exupère and Félicien; it was composed for a performance, which took place in the city during three days, on 27, 28 and 29 May 1509. Our work includes several distinct and complementary aspects: philological and historical analysis, literary presentation and linguistic study. After presenting the objectives of our work, we analyze the preparation of the 1509 performance, from a writing point of view (analysis of the manuscript and the various stages of its composition) as well as from the material realization of the representation (construction of the theater and scenery). Indeed, we also have the book of accounts of the mystery play, which contains valuable informations on organizational modalities of its representation: it is a unique case, making this text of great importance for the history of the theater in France. We then propose a presentation of the text of the mystery, an analysis of sources, staging, and some elements of versification and stylistics. The language of the mystery being very rich, our linguistic study focuses on several aspects: graphics systems of the different scribes, regionality of the language and representation of orality. Finally, we present the principles that guided our critical edition of the three days of the play, followed by an account of the various variants and corrections contained in the manuscript, some notes on the text, a glossary and a bibliography. The appendices of the volume also contain several boards of the manuscript
