Ryan, Angela. "L’Héroïne absente : la tragédie comme inscription culturelle." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040061.
Full textDoes the tragic heroine play the same Aristotelian role as the hero? Six plays are examined: Euripides’ Andromache, Iphigeneia in Aulis and Hippolytos, and Racine’s Andromaque, Iphigénie and Phèdre et Hippolyte.The three pairs of heroines, considered in turn, have specific limits to their capacity for direct heroic action, compared to typical heroes. At the same time, their presence and actions, even constrained, open the question of women’s condition – which the Greeks were the first to conceptualise, and which the French XVIIth c. also foregrounded, at least for educated women. The fourth chapter looks at some further examples of heroines, illustrating aspects of their representation in tragedy.Fifthly is considered the impact, of the presence and absence of the tragic heroine, on tragedy as a form of cultural inscription which has contributed to the evolution of the imaginaire. Different aspects of the Aristotelian model of tragedy such as muthos, hamartia, hubris, anagnorisis, catharsis are explored in terms of how the tragic heroine represents these functions.The conclusions reflect on the cultural transmission of the heroine from myth to epic, cult, the tragedy of antiquity and of French classicism, to contemporary forms). A recent linguistics theory, the X-bar theory is mentioned as a possible cognitive model to conceptualise this continuity in discontinuity, through societies which have so differently validated the female, but may all have been affected by the performative heroine. The author’s own theory of structure and counterstructure is a possible model for observing the evolution of men-women relations, beyond polarising or binary-oppositional cognitive frames. Finally, “heroine studies” are a possible fruitful research area for literature and cultural studies
Zoubovitch, Olga. "Le tragique comme catégorie critique dans la pensée littéraire française du XXème siècle." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040115.
Full textThe category of tragedy is usually linked with tragedy as a literary and theatrical type. In reality, it is a category embracingall types of arts. Besides, it is the object of different sciences: philosophical, literary, theatrical.Firstly, our reflexion will be focused on tragedy as vision of the world, as category at the same time, as illustratedby Lucien Goldmann, of theoretical, emotional order. Tragedy is unthinkable without its relation to the value system.Secondly, we will study tragic conflict at the root of this vision as insolvable conflict between the man and the world, thebeing and existence. During our review of the tragic vision, we will show his kinship with the existentialist vision aspresented in Albert Camus's work.Our study will address various aspects of the tragedy in particular: its nature, the opposition of the tragic vision tothe rationalist vision, the conditions for the appearance of the tragic, its relationship with the Myth and optimism-pessimismcategories, the question of the eventual disposition of the tragic etc.We will examine tragedy under the light of theoretical concepts of the authors of our critical corpus, in forms whichit takes in Greek tragedy, tragedy of Racine, in novel of Dostoïevski and in the Camus's work

Resumo: Este estudo tem como objetivo ler uma tragédia do teatro clássico grego escrita por Eurípides, Ifigênia em Áulis, com base em um tema mítico, e analisá-la sob o olhar dos helenistas, estabelecendo, a partir daí, um diálogo com a mesma temática em tragédias do período clássico e do teatro contemporâneo de autores franceses, através das obras Iphigénie e Iphigénie ou le Péché des Dieux, de Jean Racine e de Michel Azama, respectivamente. Apoia-se esta pesquisa em conceitos da filosofia moderna e pós-moderna para explicar o movimento do mito nessas diversas etapas da temporalidade que fazem parte do processo evolutivo do teatro, desde a Grécia Antiga até a época atual, sem perder de vista o período clássico. No caminho que se percorreu, procurou-se destacar a questão do conceito de sacrifício nesse mito que impulsionou as peças teatrais que são a base do corpus deste trabalho. Verificou-se que todas as obras levantam a ideia do sacrifício simbolizada através da Guerra de Troia e revisitada no momento em que esses autores comparavam valores políticos, sociais e religiosos moldados de acordo com a noção do poder vigente, em suas próprias épocas. Conclui-se, assim, que os três autores fazem uso da tragédia para denunciar o sacrifício e que Ifigênia continua viva no mundo atual. Desde a peça euripideana, a ação está subordinada à palavra, refletindo as tensões entre o poder e o sacrifício do ato
Abstract: This study has as its aim to read a tragedy of the classical Greek theatre written by Euripides, Iphigenia in Aulis, based on a mythical theme, and analyse it from the perspective of the Hellenists and from this, set up a dialogue with the same theme in tragedies of the classical era and contemporary theatre of French writers through the works Iphigénie and Iphigénie ou le Péché des Dieux, of Jean Racine and Michel Azama, respectively. This research is underpinned by modern and post-modern philosophical concepts in order to explain the movement of the myth in those distinct stages of temporality that are part of the evolutionary process of the theatre, from Ancient Greece to modern times, bearing in mind the classical period. In undertaking this trajectory, special focus was given to the question of the concept of sacrifice present in this myth, which inspired the theatrical plays that are the basis of this study. It was confirmed that all the works raise the idea of sacrifice, symbolized by the Trojan War and revisited when these authors compared political, social and religious values molded according to the notion of power present in their respective times. It is concluded that the three authors make use of tragedy to denounce the sacrifice and that Iphigenia is still alive in the contemporary world. Moreover, since the Euripidean play, action is subordinated to the word, reflecting the tension between power and the act of sacrifice

Full textWithin the quest of renewal of the French Classical Tragedy of Regency period (1715-1723); the work closely explores the way how looking for a tragic impact leads to the philosophical tragedy birth. This work is grounded on an analysis of the French Comedy dramas performed during this period, but in the process, it gives a special attention to their contemporaneous acceptance in periodicals and brochures. First of all, the work speculates about the tragedy renewal in terms of two polemics – the dispute between Olds and News, and the dispute about theatre morality, but in this process it demonstrates how the thoughts of a theatre lead authors to the searching of the better adapted dramatic impact in view of spectators’ expectation whose sensibility is under evolution in the low of 18th century. Afterwards, the work specifies how the greater impact generating is related to a rising intensity of a great fear through a baddy on the one hand and to the searching for a greater story through numinous elements (prophecy, priesthood and choir) on the other hand. Finally, the work shows the fact how far the blasphemies found in some tragedies are calculated only to make a greater impact, on the contrary the Voltaire’s Oedipus can be considered as the first philosophical tragedy with respect to the fact when a dramatist creates the real critical strategy and to the fact when the tilts at religion are distinctly perceived by contemporary spectators. Thus, the work analyses a phenomenon how the changes related to the dramaturgical “statement” under the impact seeking can change the tragedy into the instrument for dispensing ideas which are a part of the Enlightenment birth. This phenomenon is prevailing both for future philosophical fights and for society transformation whereof philosophers will strive this via a medium available to a general audience
Sprogis, Frédéric. "Le Cothurne d'Alecton : la fureur dans la tragédie française (1553-1653)." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SORUL041.
Full textAfter Jodelle’s 1533 initial play, in which he made his Cleopatra a furious character, the Tragedy genre throughout the 16e and 17e centuries never stopped questioning the motif of Fury, a force which profoundly undermined the characters’ ethos, jeopardized as they were by the threat of personal destruction, innermost disorders, and outbursts of passion. My thesis endeavour to elucidate the reasons why Tragedy’s playwrights probed so enduringly into Fury, which persisted as a motif, irrespective of all the metamorphoses of the genre, from Jodelle’s ‘Cléopâtre captive’ until the fiasco of ‘Pertharite’ in 1653. Although Fury appeared peripheral to the theory of Tragedy, it was central to its writing. Thus, from the standpoint of the material, it provides a form of unity in over a century of varied production. Subsequently, the perpetual reworking of the motif of Rage by these authors sheds light on the manner in which they envisioned the representation of extreme passions, from the Renaissance to the tragédie galante. First of all, the complex elaboration of the motif is investigated, exploring how Antiquity’s legacy was being reinvented by dramatic writing. Then, through the prism of Fury, the large corpus of plays under scrutiny is given fresh insight, revealing new dramatic influences and how the motif was espoused by the authors and interwoven with their personal style – or rejected. After that, owing to the fact that Fury was devoid of any clear theoretical and moral contents, it is detailed how it became a field where authors could engage freely in aesthetical, ethical and political discussions. Eventually, the problematic rendition of Fury on stage is investigated: from the outset, the spectacular quality of the motif begs the question of its various modes of representation. By means of poetic and scenic writing, how did the authors and then the comedians appeal to the audience and bring this uncontrollable madness to life?
Melai, Maurizio. "Les derniers feux de la tragédie classique : étude du genre tragique en France sous la Restauration et la Monarchie de Juillet." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040038.
Full textThis 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 textBetween 1561 and 1681 several French tragedies and tragicomedies borrowed their subjects from a recent episode in the history of the Ottoman Empire. Although Solyman ou la mort de Mustapha (1639) by Jean Mairet, Ibrahim ou l’illustre bassa (1641-42) by Georges de Scudéry, and Bajazet by Jean Racine are probably the most emblematic works of this trend, they are not alone. Other authors from different literary circles and belonging to different periods also belonged to the same tradition. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the corpus of French tragedies with Oriental subjects and to determine their origins and consequences, particularly regarding the construction of plots. The answers to these questions should allow the definition of an identity for these tragedies with Ottoman subjects

Full textThis is to prepare the scientific edition of the complete theatre work of Joséphin Péladan. The thesis in four volumes offers all of the work of the playwright, namely fifteen plays – seven of which are unpublished – according to its different characteristics: idealistic theater (artistic collaboration), renewal of ancient tragedy (outdoor scenes), historical dramas (willingness to access the national theaters), dramatic adaptations (translation and transposition). The plays, transcribed and annotated (variants and notes), are accompanied by some analysis (introductions and detailed descriptions). The general introduction presents the playwright and allows to understand his complete work, his stage experience and his reflections on the art of drama. The critical edition of the theatrical works of Joséphin Péladan aims to render accessible his plays unjustly neglected in spite of his profound influence on the theatre creation during the late 19th century and the early 20th century
Aronica, Claire. "L'illusion heroïque : Rodrigue et la représentation du héros tragique dans le premier XVIIe siècle." Thesis, Lyon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSE3030/document.
Full textThe basis of this work lies primarily in the discovery of a huge nature difference between the hero in “Le Cid”, and the far less glorious contemporary drama protagonists. On the other hand, it is based upon the intuition that most literary analysis almost exclusively use Rodrigue as the character of the first decades of the17th century.The first step of our work was therefore to try to confirm these impressions by conveying the very special status of this character. We have studied the treatment of “Le Cid” and its hero throughout the centuries with this goal in mind, assessing that the way audiences, readers and critics reacted to the play steadily built our perception of Rodrigue. We have tried to understand how the play and its hero were welcomed from January 1637 to the outcome of the 21st century. We have thus established the longevity of the text as well as the outstanding praise reactions it met with. This enabled us to substantiate the mythification of the play and bring into light its universal scope.From these first conclusions, we then tried to find out the reasons why the success of the play has never been denied. Here again it is the study of the critic treatment that quickly showed us that the unanimous public feeling was essentially due to Rodrigue as a character. For it is he mainly who seems to captivate the audience and the readers’interest. In the second part, we therefore tried to understand why Rodrigue is so mesmerising. With this purpose in mind, we confronted our character to the very hero notion. The stiking coincidence that public reactions convey between this archetypal character and “Le Cid” protagonist brought us to a first conclusion: the play is enthusiastically welcomed in the 17th century because the main character updates the human ideal as it was viewed at the time. Yet, the passion that the play generated in later periods is based on the same principle: it is because Rodrigue embodies the 17th century hero that the public from the age of enlightenment, from the great romantic era, from the French 3rd Republic or the interwar period do feel fond of him. “Le Cid” protagonist appears both as a revered and missed hero because he belongs to days gone by, a past example of the ideal man. In Corneille’s entire works, he is also regarded as a heroic paradygm and is viewed as the Cornelian male reference from which other male characters are derived in the works of the playwright. He is the very source of “the Cornelian hero” myth.However, Rodrigue’s unanimous critic treatment brings forward another issue: does “Le Cid” really stand apart in the early 17th century drama? At the outset of our third part, a brief survey of the period drama reveals the gap between Rodrigue’s image as it was made by the critic treatment and the dramatic reality of the 1630-1650 era. Corneille’s tragicomedy is not the only successful play and its hero is not the only stage embodiment of the male figure as it was then represented. Several other playwrights were successful too. Yet, the critic treatment does not take them into account. It seems as if Corneille is the only author to be remembered in the history of literature. Thus, “Le Cid” is the play reference. But it alters our vision of the 17th century drama and mentalities.In fact, scores of critic theories were based on the idea of a glorious early 17th century (impersonated by Rodrigue) as opposed to a gloomier and declining period at the end of the century. But can one guarantee their truthfulness if they are only based on the character of Rodrigue to assert the grandeur of the early 17th century decades?To conclude, a precise and detailed reading of the period literature allows one to study many misinterpretations, particularly because of “Le Cid” unmatched success, and to consider the early 17th century with a brand new perspective

Ambrus, Gauthier. "Marie-Joseph Chénier, un poète en temps de révolution (1788-1795)." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL144.
Full textFor a long time, the French Revolution has been seen as a black hole in the universe of literary history, a vision that scholars have yet been reconsidering in the past decades. The study of the literary career of Marie-Joseph Chénier (1764-1811), a tragic poet reputed in his time and the younger brother of André Chénier, offers the possibility for a better understanding of the many ruptures and continuities that the period underwent. Marie-Joseph Chénier enters the literary world at the very end of the Ancien Régime and unexpectedly makes himself a name in the fall of 1789 with a theatre play that he succeeds in putting on stage despite censorship: Charles IX, a tragedy in which he places artistic freedom and more specifically that of theatre at the heart of political events. The stage seems due to secure the author an unprecedented influence. Chénier attempts in this context to accompany in his later tragedies the evolution of the Revolution albeit not without some critical distance and together with an involvement in public life, first among the Jacobins then within the Convention. He thus becomes an important figure of the cultural institutions of his time notably through the anthems that he composes for nearly all the revolutionary festivals between 1790 and 1795. The events during the Terror have a lasting personal impact on Chénier who then decides to mark a pause in his theatrical vocation after 9 Thermidor. He abandons the literary world and focuses on the cultural and political reconstruction of the new Republic that follows the fall of the Montagnards. Chénier is subjected to tenacious political hatred that will lastingly affect his reputation as a poet. To that respect his life and career are representative of the transformations that inform the status and work of a man of letters under the Revolution. They also illustrate the new kinds of obstacles met by authors in that period
De, Santis Vincenzo. "Le dramaturge dissident. Le théâtre de Louis Lemercier entre Lumières et Romantisme (suivi de l’édition critique d’Agamemnon et Pinto, ou la journée d’une conspiration)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA040039.
Full textThe 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
Bousiopoulou, Efthalia. "Personne tragique-personnage tragique dans les écritures dramatiques contemporaines en France et en Grèce." Thesis, Lille, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LIL3H018.
Full textContemporary playwriting turns often towards the tragic Greek myth as source of inspiration.However, the concept of “the tragic” is far from being evident, sometimes understood in anexistential meaning, tightly attached to the German philosophical thought who has given it birth,sometimes in an esthetic meaning, as a result of its close relation to the genre of tragedy. Thepresent study examines the concept of tragic in contemporary plays of different origin: moreprecisely, we study twelve plays, French and Greek, that cover the second half of the twentiethcentury in the broadest sense, characterized by the use of the tragic myth or of tragic motifs. Ourapproach is based on two axes: on one hand we examine the notion of character, a fundamentalelement of a dramatic work, in his becoming tragic. In this way and according to the two phasesof what we call “the tragic movement”, the character, after passing from the identity to the alterityof self, he then “chooses” himself as a finite being, or, in other words, as a being “inscribed indeath”; finally, he arrives at the point of transcendence of his own finitude. On the other hand, weexamine the notion of the tragic person, namely the conception of the “real” human, as it isformulated on the basis of the tragic hero, by the reader/spectator. The meaning of the tragicperson lies in a passage from the ordinary world to a “new reality”, where the becoming of thehuman being and the openness to the Other dominates. In this context, the spectator experiencesthe catharsis that can be identified with the “tragic joy”

Full textBased on a corpus composed of about forty tragedies published between 1566 and 1640 in Normandy, most of which staging acts of cruelty carried out by strongly antagonistic protagonists, this doctorate thesis studies the specific stage designs shown out through those texts. Thus throwing into prominence the existing similarities between the components described in the internal stage directions, the few stage indications of the works, and the practices at the hotel de Bourgogne such as defined in the Mémoire de Mahelot. After recalling the shapes and the dramatic events performed in the province, the thesis goes on studying the editorial practices in Rouen. Historiography of wars of religion and Henri IVth and Louis XIIIth reigns once established, it observes how the Norman theatre is being corrupted by the Parisian production on its move to classical normalization, and then gradually vanishes as well as the meaningful stage designs, demonstrating then how their meaning is being perverted in order to celebrate a political unity, to make way for “palais à volonté” in the Parisian dramas
Maglione, Erminio. "Albert Camus et la réception de Nietzsche en France de 1877 à 1960." Thesis, Tours, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019TOUR2020.
Full textThe present work aims to investigate the reception of Nietzsche in France from 1877 to 1960 starting from the first translation of the german philosopher until the death of one of his most original interpreters, Albert Camus (1913-1960). The considered period is the one that prepares the advent of the "Nietzsche Renaissance" of the 1960s and that will contribute to focus attention on the anti-dialectic Nietzsche. Concerning the methodological level, the analysis will be based on the approaches of the history of ideas, of the philosophy of culture and of the history of philosophy, focusing on what appeared to be the dominating guidelines of french interpretation of Nietzsche. The structure of the subject is outlined in three main historical and cultural sections. The first one investigates Nietzsche's relations with french modernity (Descartes, Pascal, Montaigne) in order to show the great influence that the latter had on the first and how this proximity was the basis of his fruitful reception. The second section traces the main stages of Nietzsche's reception from 1877 to 1960. The third one focuses on the reading of Camus and its elements of originality. Two appendices close the work: an italian translation of a juvenile text by Camus, the Essai sur la musique (testimony of his early Nietzschean readings), and a chronological list of the german thinker's translations from 1877 to 1960

Full textThis research intends to underline the paradigmatic change that has occurred reguarding the approach to the tragic phenomenon and the genre of tragedy in the contemporary period. Tragedy, such as dramatized by the Greeks in the 5th century B.-C., was built on the concept of dikè, meaning justice. However, in the twentieth century, the idea of tragic is apprehended through the perspective of human freedom. This transformation of the philosophical and dramatic approaches to the tragic phenomemon arises from the social and political events occuring in the Western world, and more specifically in Eu-rope, during that period. Thus, our research relies on the comparison of several Greek tragedies — Aeschylus’s The Persians, The Oresteia, and Prometheus Bound; Sophocles’s Antigone and Philocte-tes; Euripides’s Medea and The Trojan Women — with some contemporary transpositions that have been produced in France and in Ireland to adress events threatening individual freedom of, at least, a part of the population living in France or in Ireland. Therefore, our research considers three plays creat-ed during or shortly after the Nazi Occupation of France: Sartre’s The Flies (1943), Anouilh’s Antigone (1944), Camus’s Caligula (1945); one play performed during the decolonial period of 1960: Sartre’s The Trojan Women (1965); three plays produced during the period of the Troubles (1968-1998): Paulin’s The Riot Act (1984) and Seize the Fire (1989), and Heaney’s The Cure at Troy (1990) ; and three plays performed to deal with the issue of women’s rights in the Republic of Ireland: Kennelly’s Antigone (1986), Medea (1989), and The Trojan Women (1993)

Full textThe purpose of this study is to present a descriptive and comparative analysis of the play of Aimé Césaire, La tragédie du roi Christophe and its translation by Breslin and Ney, with a particular focus on the rich translators’ notes that accompany the English version. The analysis explains the intended function of the translation and the stylistic stance adopted by the translators in rendering Césaire’s heteroglossic style. Postcolonial literature and the uniqueness of its translation, as well as the expansion of the Caribbean literature and the Négritude literature in terms of translation are approached in the study. Gérard Genette’s (1997) model is used to examine the paratextual elements, while Vinay and Darbelnet’s (1995) model serves to analyse the translation of the play from French into English.

Full textThis dissertation addresses the representation of fury in Jean-Baptiste Lully and Philippe Quinault’s 1685 opera, Roland. It seeks to define the rhetorical means through which fury is conveyed on the classical stage of the second half of the XVIIth century, whether they be found in the music, text or staging. The first chapter considers the mythological figures of fury in a historical perspective, from ancient origins to the famous Orlando furioso and its numerous reinterpretations in the French dramatic repertoire, therefore gathering the basis of the topic of fury. This section also addresses the development of the aesthetics of fury, and its relation to the sublime ideal of classical expression. Guided by the idea of performance and of its effects on the audience, the second chapter studies Roland’s wrath in a rhetorical perspective. Following the traditional rhetorical divisions – inventio, dispositio, elocutio and actio –, the study of this scene shows that dynamics of contrast and balance between strength and softness lie at the core of the rhetoric of disturbance which conducts the representation of fury.
