Abstract:
Diese Dissertation liefert einen kulturhistorischen Überblick über die Darstellung der Frauenfiguren Gertrude und Ophelia in Hamlet-Verfilmungen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die beiden weiblichen Gestalten werden dabei im Hinblick auf ihr äußeres Erscheinungsbild wie auch ihre Charakterzeichnung vor dem historischen, kulturellen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Entstehungshintergrund der Filme beleuchtet. Die Analysen konzentrieren sich ausschließlich auf Kinofilme, da diese ein wesentlich breiteres Publikum erreichen als etwa die diversen Bühnen- oder Textfassungen des Stücks. Die erste der insgesamt zwanzig untersuchten Leinwandfassungen entstand im Jahre 1900, die letzte kam 2000 in die Kinos – die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt also eine genau 100-jährige Tradition der Hamlet-Verfilmungen
This doctoral thesis provides a comprehensive historico-cultural analysis of the figures of Gertrude and Ophelia as portrayed in Hamlet film adaptations of the 20th century. The two female figures are examined with a special emphasis on their outward appearance and character disposition, which are set against the historical, cultural, political and social background of when the films were produced. These analyses focus exclusively on film adaptations made for cinematic release, which have a larger audience than the various book versions and TV and stage productions of the play. The first of the overall twenty Hamlet films discussed here was made in 1900, the last one in 2000 – the work at hand comprises therefore a one-hundred-year-old tradition of Hamlet film adaptations

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciada en Lengua y Literatura Hispánica
En términos generales, este trabajo presenta el estudio y análisis comparativo entre la obra Invitación a la Muerte del mexicano Xavier Villaurrutia y la tragedia clásica de William Shakespeare Hamlet, con el cual se pretende demostrar cómo Villaurrutia realiza una reelaboración surrealista de la obra renacentista, a partir de la recepción del os movimientos europeos de vanguardia de la primera mitad del siglo XX por parte de los artistas y escritores latinoamericanos con el fin de renovar la producción literaria de la época. Villaurrutia, particularmente, innovará en la producción dramática de México con el teatro experimental, el neopsicologismo y una poética surrealista fuertemente influenciada por el trabajo del artista y escritor francés Jean Cocteau, la que no solo encontramos en su obra dramática, sino también poética. Con estos nuevos recursos estéticos, el autor mexicano escribirá Invitación a la muerte, cuyo argumento es elaborado a partir de la tragedia Hamlet, donde Villaurrutia encuentra motivos que le permiten trabajar su drama desde una estética surrealista; entre ellos encontramos el motivo de la muerte, el sueño, la soledad, el amor, la locura y búsqueda por la verdad.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the religious aspects of William Shakespeare's Hamlet which, I argue, form the foundation of Hamlet's plot and are critical to understanding Hamlet's character and his dilemmas. Early modern culture was particularly saturated with religious allusions. The advent of the Reformation and emergence of printing resulted in an explosive growth in the publication of new Bible translations and other religious materials. While I note that most early modern writers of general literature made frequent use of biblical texts and themes, I add that Shakespeare's use of the Bible and Christian doctrine in Hamlet is especially subtle and substantial. Shakespeare achieves this by establishing Hamlet as a particularly devout Christian Prince who is a student at the University of Wittenberg. I argue that it is Hamlet's theological pedantry which makes him procrastinate throughout the play. Additionally, Hamlet's Christian characteristics exhibit syncretic - Catholic and Protestant - Christianity as represented by Elizabethan religious culture. Shakespeare incorporates contemporary religious beliefs in the play not for dogmatic purposes but rather for dramatic expedience. I compare Hamlet to other contemporary revenge tragedies and establish how the underlying Christian themes, as revealed in Hamlet's character through his soliloquies, set Hamlet apart from other revenge plays. Finally I argue that Hamlet exacts his revenge through a particular performance that operates exclusively within his Christian worldview. Ultimately, as I conclude in the third chapter, through the character of Hamlet, Shakespeare also makes the best dramatic use of contemporary religious beliefs and contentions to make his audience ponder the big question that concerned them: the eventual fate of the human soul.

Abstract:
The present thesis consists of a study on some rewritings of three plays written by William Shakespeare: Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Othello. Firstly, terms like translation, literal translation, free translation, rewriting, adaptation, updating, appropriation, condensation and recreation will be tackled with the purpose of understanding the process of interlingual and intralingual translations. The analysis of the theories developed by Hans J. Vermeer and Georges L. Bastin will be extremely important in order to justify and exemplify translations (adaptations) which are not so faithful and are aimed at specific types of public. The historical study of a number of French translations show how erotic, bawdy and grotesque parts of the Shakespearean texts were altered or omitted. Lastly, I analyse the bilingual adaptations of the three plays mentioned above, which I carried out with John Milton.

Abstract:
Les héros des grandes tragédies de Shakespeare s'égarent et grâce à cette dérive orchestrée par le dramaturge parviennent à transcender leur nature pour accéder à un savoir précieux. Ils quittent la pénombre ambiante et s'élèvent vers une connaissance lumineuse qui leur permet de reconsidérer la signification de l'expérience humaine. Hamlet s'enlise dans les sables mouvants de la conscience, Lear est terrassé par la folie et Macbeth se lance corps et âme dans le mal. Ces trois personnes fascinent du fait de la grandeur dont ils sont investis au terme de leur parcours et du mystère qui dramatique : Shakespeare ne présente pas des hommes mais des "êtres de mots" et tout ce qui leur arrive n'est que l'image d'une destinée. Le théâtre obéit à des lois qui lui sont propres et l'analyse du langage, de même que le rapport au spectateur sont au cœur de la démarche que le critique doit adopter. Le public assiste à la désintégration de personnages soudain grandis par la reconnaissance (anagnoris en grec) de la petitesse des hommes mais qui s'avèrent incapables de tirer parti de ce savoir chèrement acquis. Les spectateurs, inclus dans la représentation par un jeu de miroirs vertigineux, sont les seuls bénéficiaires de l'expérience représentée. Shakespeare s'est efforcé de débarrasser ses contemporains du carcan de l'espérance afin de privilégier une approche plus vraie et plus enrichissante de leur parcours
The heroes of the great tragedies of Shakespeare lose their way and manage, thanks to this drift organized by the playwright, to transcend their nature and attain to a precious knowledge. They leave the darkness of their world and rise to a bright light which enables them to take a new look at the meaning of human experience. Hamlet sinks into the quicksands of his consciousness, Lear is overcome by madness and Macbeth commits himself body and soul to evil. These three characters fascinate owing to the greatness they are endowed with at the end of their course and to the mystery they are shrouded in. Their fates are approached in terms of dramatic writing technique: Shakespeare does not introduce us to men but to 'word creatures' and all that happens to them is nothing but the image of a destiny. The theatre obeys its own rules and the analysis of the words; along with the relation to the spectators are the be-all and end-all of the method the critic must use. The audience attends the disintegration of characters that suddenly grow in stature as they realize how meaningless man's life is. This recognition (anagnorisis in Greek) proves pointless in that the dramatis personae are unable to take advantage of that painful revelation. The public, included in the performance thanks to breathtaking mirroring effects, are the only people who can actually draw

Abstract:
La présente étude tente de montrer que Shakespeare a été influencé par la culture grecque dans Hamlet, Macbeth et King Lear. Au travers de correspondances textuelles et thématiques troublantes, l'auteur cherche à établir qu'il paraît manifeste que Shakespeare ait eu recours à la tragédie grecque dans la composition de ces trois pièces majeures. Néanmoins, comme l'atteste la présente recherche, il ne peut être établi avec certitude que ce dramaturge ait lu Eschyle, Sophocle ou Euripide en grec ou en traduction vernaculaire que ce soit en anglais, en français ou en italien, traductions qui étaient pourtant nombreuses du vivant de Shakespeare. Cette thèse se divise en trois parties principales lesquelles explorent les principaux champs pour lesquels une ressemblance est flagrante avec Shakespeare ce qui amène à penser qu'il aurait pu avoir recours à la tragédie grecque. La première partie explore les moyens par lesquels le dramaturge aurait pu avoir eu connaissance de ces textes (scolarisation, traductions). Dans cette optique, cette partie expose les apports de la Renaissance, notamment dans l'instruction et la transmission des lettres grecques. La deuxième partie rapporte, pour chaque pièce, les correspondances textuelles et thématiques remarquables avec des œuvres littéraires majeures de la Grèce antique, surtout les dramaturges et Homère. La troisième partie se consacre à l'étude de ces héroïnes exceptionnelles que l'on trouve dans ces trois tragédies. Sans établir de portrait psychologique, cette étude cherche à dégager trois fils directeurs qui relient l'héroïne shakespearienne à l'héroïne tragique grecque : la stature de ces femmes, la représentation de la noblesse et l'absence de discours amoureux, thématiques centrales de la tragédie grecque
The main objective of this dissertation is to consider the possibility of a Greek influence, namely mythology and tragedy, on Shakespeare's masterpieces Hamlet, Macbethand KingLear. This study first draws an impartial account of the current knowledge concerning Shakespeare's supposed education and of the major role played by Byzantine scholarship in the rediscovery of Greek texts which led to a huge wave of translations into Latin first and then into the vernaculars. The second part tries to establish textual and thematic correlations between Shakespeare's works and some Attic plays together with the epics of Homer and several other ancient Greek authors by picking passages drawn from both sides and explaining the common point between them. Finally, the third part deals with the place Shakespeare gave his main heroines in these plays, a place which corresponds in some significant aspects to the Greek tragic heroine

Full text
Abstract:
Chacun est-il unique ? Cinq pièces de Shakespeare parfois appelées problem plays - All's well that Ends Well, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Measure for Measure et Troilus and Cressida - problématisent le singulier ou l'unicité de soi, un aspect de la question du sujet à l'ère pré-moderne. L'unicité est en crise dans ces pièces : l'analyse des substitutions dans l'action, l'amour et la mort montre l'absence et le surgissement des doubles au lieu des preuves d'unicité attendues. Celle des scènes de perception du singulier et d'énonciation de soi dans les dialogues ou monologues montre la confusion identitaire : le soi unique vacille et s'efface devant les doubles. La crise de l'unicité est aussi une crise du rapport à l'espace social et intérieur et à la temporalité. Les sujets se diluent dans la communauté et peinent à tracer des frontières entre eux-mêmes et les autres. Les plis censés révéler un espace intime découvrent un lieu paradoxal. Les effets de perspective déplacent le personnage qui regarde et qui n'a pas de lieu propre alors que le retour du politique restaure la fixité des places. Les sujets désirent s'inscrire dans une linéarité temporelle qui est déconstruite par les répétitions. Ils n'élaborent pas une histoire linéaire propre mais s'énoncent comme traces de ce qui n'a pas eu lieu et inventent un présent impossible. Il n'y a pas de temps pour soi : Hamlet, jouet d'une action sans agent et d'une durée qui le dépasse, vit et meurt la vie et la mort des autres dans le temps des autres. La dramaturgie de l'espace et du temps dans les problem plays s'avère liée aux paradoxes du singulier qui interrogent la relation entre soi-même et l'autre et à l'autre en soi-même
Is every human being unique ? Five Shakespeare plays sometimes labelled problem plays - All's well that Ends Well, Hamlet, Julius Caesar Measure for Measure and Troilus and Cressida - raise the issue of the singularity or uniqueness of the self, one aspect of the question of the subject in the early modern age. Uniqueness is in crisis in these plays : the study of the substitutions in action, love and death shows the absence of the self and the emergence of doubles instead of the expected proofs of uniqueness. This study of the scenes of perception of singularity and of self-speaking in the dialogues or soliloquies shows confused identities : the unique self flickers and is superseded by doubles. The crisis of uniqueness also questions the link to social and inner space and to temporality. The subjects dissolve into the community and fail to draw borders between themselves and others. The veils supposed to unveil an intimate space uncover a place of paradox. Perspective effects displace the watching character, who is then deprived of a proper place, and the return of the political reestablishes set places. The subjects wish to engage in a linear time which is deconstructed by repetitions. They do no build a proper linear history but present themselves as traces of events that did not happen and make up an impossible present. There is no time for oneself : Hamlet, the victim of agentless action and of unmastered duration, lives and dies the lives and deaths of others in the time of others. The dramatic art of space and time in the problem plays is linked to the paradoxes of singularity that question the relationship between oneself and the other and to the other in oneself

Full text
Abstract:
This study is a feminist-based reading of three of William Shakespeare’s works: Othello, Much Ado About Nothing, and Hamlet. The reading, although borrowing from the feminist perspective, is not a full-blown feminist reading of Shakespeare’s works. The focus of the study comprises the social circumstances and the misogynistic actions of the male characters and how these impact on the lives of the female characters. The relationships between the male and female characters are often characterized by physical and psychological victimization arid their feelings of misery and shame, and even total destruction of life (as in the case of Desdemona and Ophelia). The three Shakespearean plays portray male rivals who take part in significant roles that cause destruction of well established relationships. The men allow their egos to persuade their decisions, attack their internal emotions, and demolish virtuous women who are forced to become victims of political intrigues and machinations. Shakespeare shows two types of women throughout the plays: women who refuse to submit to men and demand equal rights, and submissive women who carry out the roles of an Elizabethan woman. Those who followed the roles of the Elizabethan woman, which is to be submissive to men, also demonstrate that bowing down to patriarchal rules does not guarantee happiness for women. In fact, it may actually lead to their domination and victimization. Furthermore, all female characters, whether submissive or not, suffered the consequences of male dominance and victimization. However, the females who lived up to the women roles of the patriarchal society suffered more than the women who fought against male dominance.

Full text
Abstract:
Cette étude présente, dans une première partie, une réflexion sur l'idée de nature dans quatre tragédies de William Shakespeare dans la perspective d'un lien que nous établissons, dans une deuxième partie, avec l'idée fondamentale de pouvoir. L'analyse des personnages en tant qu'éléments centraux à cette tension entre les deux notions, le rappel de la façon dont Shakespeare les situe par rapport à l'une et à l'autre, nous amènent à envisager le passage de la dyade "nature/ pouvoir" à la triade "nature- homme - pouvoir" comme le ressort essentiel de la tragédie shakespearienne. Cette prise de conscience de la centralité du thème du pouvoir, qui s'articule sur la tension et non sur le parallélisme entre macrocosme et microcosme, nous a conduite à tenter de découvrir non pas comment mais pourquoi Shakespeare a semé tant d'allusions et de références à la nature dans les œuvres analysées. Nous sommes ainsi arrivée à la conclusion que le thème de la nature remplit la fonction de masque, de "décor", de "bruitage" à plusieurs autres messages et, par voie de conséquence historique, à postuler l'hypothèse de l'appartenance de Shakespeare à deux courants de pensée qui prévalaient déjà à l'époque élisabéthaine, le stéganographie et l'herméneutique
This study, which is centered on four tragedies by William Shakespeare, puts forward a reflection not only on the notion of nature in these plays - the object of the first part - but also on the deep-rooted problematic link which it entertains, we purport to prove, with the notion of power - the object of our second part. The analysis of the characters as central elements to this tension between the two notions, supported, as will be shown, by a reminder of the way Shakespeare situates their decisions and actions precisely in relation to nature and power, leads us to consider the passage from the nature/power dualism to the nature/man/power triad as the mainspring of Shakespearian tragedies. This realization of the central position of the theme of power which actually hinges on the tension, and not on the parallelism, between the macrocosm and the microcosm, induces us to try to find not how but why Shakespeare introduces so many allusions and references to nature. We thus come to the conclusion that nature as a theme has taken on the function of a mask, a setting, a kind of "background noise", almost acting as a cover of many other messages, so that we may eventually venture the hypothesis that Shakespeare may well belong to two trends of thought already prevailing in Elizabethan times: steganography and hermeneutics

Abstract:
Hamlet a longtemps été une partie inséparable de l'identité nationale russe. Cependant, les mises en scène d’Hamlet en Union soviétique (surtout en Russie) durant l'époque de Staline présentèrent des problèmes spécifiques liés aux doctrines idéologiques imposées sur les arts et la culture en général ainsi qu’aux idées reçues concernant l’opinion personnelle de Staline envers de la tragédie. Les deux mises en scènes principales d’Hamlet en Russie au cours de cette période ont été celles réalisées par Nikolai Akimov (1932) et Sergei Radlov (1938). Un réexamen approfondi de ces mises en scène, entrepris dans les chapitres centraux de cette thèse, révèle des détails précédemment inconnus au sujet de leurs conceptions, réalisations, réceptions et au-delà. Cela met en évidence l'importance du rôle de la musique de scène composée pour elles par Dimitri Chostakovitch et par Sergei Prokofiev, respectivement, et suggère l'interaction complexe des agendas individuels et institutionnels. Ce travail a été rendu possible grâce à de nombreuses visites aux archives russes, qui contiennent de précieux documents tels que des livrets des mises en scène et les rapports sténographiques de discussions, précédemment non référencées à l'Ouest. Ces chapitres centraux sont précédés d'un aperçu historique d’Hamlet en Russie et de la musique et de Shakespeare en général. Ils sont suivis par une enquête au sujet des adaptations notables d’Hamlet à la fin de l’époque de Staline et après la mort du dictateur, se concentrant sur ceux qui contiennent les contributions musicales les plus importantes. Le résultat est un aperçu plus riche et plus complexe de l'image familière d’Hamlet comme miroir de la société russe / soviétique
Hamlet has long been an inseparable part of Russian national identity. Staging Hamlet in Russia during the Stalin era, however, presented particular problems connected with the ideological framework imposed on the arts and culture as well as with Stalin’s own negative perceived view of the tragedy. The two major productions of Hamlet in Russia during this period were those directed by Nikolai Akimov (1932) and Sergei Radlov (1938). Thorough re-examination of these productions, as undertaken in the central chapters of this dissertation, reveals much previously unknown detail about their conception, realisation, reception and afterlife. It highlights the importance of the role of music composed for them by Dmitry Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev, respectively, and it suggests a complex interaction of individual and institutional agendas. This work has been made possible by numerous visits to Russian archives, which contain invaluable documents such as production books and stenographic reports of discussions, previously unreferenced in Western scholarship. These central chapters are preceded by a historical overview of Hamlet in Russia and of music and Shakespeare in general. They are followed by a survey of major adaptations of Hamlet in the late-Stalin era and beyond, concentrating on those with significant musical contributions. The outcome is a richer and more complex account of the familiar image of Hamlet as a mirror of Russian/Soviet society

Abstract:
William Shakespeare es, sin lugar a dudas, uno de los dramaturgos más brillantes y más representados del teatro universal. Su obra es ampliamente reconocida y considerada en la literatura y las artes escénicas por la riqueza temática que guarda y las múltiples posibilidades interpretativas que alberga, según el punto de vista de cada director. El reto de montar un Shakespeare no es sencillo, pues hay que combatir cierta resistencia del público hacia los llamados autores clásicos. El hecho de pretender acercar a Shakespeare al espectador de hoy conlleva siempre riesgos. Muchas veces se pretende actualizar a Shakespeare empleando recursos escénicos modernos, como vestuario, escenografia, modismos al hablar, etcétera. Pero sólo se consigue una modernización artificial que no cumple con la misión de revelar la verdadera esencia de la obra. La pieza, entonces, se puede convertir en el mejor de los casos, en una buena crónica moderna pero su temática pasará desapercibida, descontextualizada. Ante el problema de la modernización superficial, surge la invitación a realizar el montaje shakespeareano bajo la perspectiva de una verdadera contemporaneidad, la cual buscará compenetrar la temática de la obra con el contexto social del público. La coincidencia se vuelve un resultado feliz cuando el público encuentra en escena una problemática en la cual se reconoce y se identifica.

Abstract:
Ce travail s'appuie sur la critique littéraire, l'histoire des mises en scène, la narratologie, la psychanalyse et la sémiologie, pour étudier la transformation des pièces shakespeariennes lorsqu'elles sont adaptées au cinéma par Kenneth Branagh. Celui-ci construit une trajectoire du regard par le montage et les mouvements de caméra, et compose un discours de mise en scène qui lève de nombreuses ambiguïtés. Par des images antérieures et intérieures, Branagh présente des personnages dotés d'un passé et de pensées. Ses adaptations oscillent entre l'exhibition forte d'interpolations et la création d'une diegese naturaliste, s'inscrivant dans une esthétique hollywoodienne qui privilégie les liens logiques et les rappels nostalgiques. Le caractère méta-dramatique du théâtre shakespearien tend alors à se dissiper au sein d'une fiction où la construction narrative prévaut sur la révélation de renonciation. Cette esthétique a des conséquences importantes sur l'interprétation de Henry V et de Hamlet. Les flash-backs, la musique, l'échelle des plans et les références à d'autres films s'ajoutent à la mise en scène et au jeu des acteurs pour opérer un brouillage générique. Chez Branagh, Henry V tend vers une tragédie du doute et Hamlet se transforme en épopée héroïque.

Abstract:
Le but de cette these est d'etudier le probleme du destin a travers les cinq pieces qui correspondent aux differentes etapes de l'evolution de shakespeare. Le premier chapitre- plan intellectuel de l'epoque concernant les notions qui definissent le mot destin. Cette partie demontre la preoccupation du poete qui s'exprime par un langage symbolique. Nous constatons que le dramaturge s'oriente de plus en plus vers une idee deterministe du destin. Il fait l'analogie entre son art et le monde ; ainsi la nature serait une scene ou l'homme-acteur est appele a jouer son role. Le deuxieme chapitre, qui est consacre a l'etue des pieces en particulier, illustre comment shakespeare traduit sa pensee a travers les images et la structure des ses oeuvres
The aim of this thesis is to study the problem of destiny in shakespeare's five plays selected for this end. These plays correspond in fact to different stages of the poet's evolution. The first chapter looks at the intellectual background of the tine. In this chapter we find a recurrent imagery concerning the notions which define the word-destiny. The poet turns into his art in order to clarify the mysteries : he compares the world to playhouse where man-actor is called by a divine power to play his part. The second chapter goes down into a more detailed study of the plays. It finds that shakespeare conveys his ideas through dramatic means such as imagery and the structure of his plays

Abstract:
As an icon of drama and culture, William Shakespeare was the target of the Romantic genre of the burlesque or travesty. This study concentrates specifically on Shakespeare`s Hamlet and John Poole`s Hamlet Travestie: In Three Acts (1810) in order to indicate the ways in which this travesty functions as a distorting mirror of the tragedy. By investigating the transformation of soliloquies into songs and the subsequent dilution of their seriousness in Hamlet Travestie, I will argue that there is a thematic defamiliarization of the content. This thesis examines the deformed image of Hamlet reflected by Hamlet Travestie and, in doing so, identifies the formal features of burlesque or travesty.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents a detailed comparative analysis of four important settings of Ophelia's song texts from Shakespeare's Hamlet composed by Brahms, Strauss, Chausson, and Pasatieri. Each of the first three represents a different facet of song composition during the period 1873-1919. The "Five Songs of Ophelia" by Brahms recall the simplicity of Volkslied. Strauss's "Drei Lieder der Ophelia" assume a more complex and formal demeanor, while Chausson's setting, "Chanson d'Ophelie," demonstrates French preoccupation with setting the natural speech rhythms of language. Pasatieri's "Ophelia's Lament," from 1975, uses operatic gestures within the context of piano-accompanied song. An interview with Pasatieri which defines this song as monodrama is transcribed in the appendix.

Abstract:
The study described in this dissertation was conducted during a three week period and encompassed four senior high school English classes. The data derived from the study were elicited from a pre test of knowledge and a pre treatment attitude survey; a post test of knowledge and a post treatment attitude survey and a delayed post test of knowledge. The four groups of students were given the following treatments within the Shakespearean drama unit on Hamlet: (1) Group I - Students in this group were shown four teaching films on Hamlet and read the play aloud in class with students taking parts. (2) Group 2 - Students listened to a taped recording of the play and followed along with their books. (3) Group 3 - Students in this group listened to the taped recording of the play and were shown the four teaching films. (4) Group 4 - Students in this group, which was the control group, read the play aloud in class with students taking parts. The research questions which guided the research and were addressed through the statistical analysis were as follows: (1) What significant knowledge differences, if any, exist between and among the groups receiving the non-print media treatments and that group which did not? (2) Is there a difference in appreciation (attitudes) of Shakespearean drama between the groups which received the non-print media treatments and the group which did not? The statistical analysis of the data revealed that although all groups improved on the knowledge post test, groups 1 and 2 improved the most. Attitude scores also increased for group 1. Interestingly, the difference between pre treatment and post treatment attitude scores for group 2 was negligible, and for groups 3 and 4 decreased. The following conclusions were then drawn from the statistical analysis: (1) The use of non-print media does improve knowledge of and attitude about Shakespearean drama. (2) The use of non-print media should be limited, for example, to either taped recording or film for optimum results.

Full text
Abstract:
Au XVIéme siècle, il est courant d'affirmer une parenté ontologique entre les univers du surnaturel et de la scène. Autant dans les ouvrages théoriques que dans les pièces, l'acteur est envisagé comme une ombre, et la représentation comme une apparition. Le théâtre de Shakespeare est tout entier empreint de cette poétique de l'invisible dont les origines remontent à l'Antiquité. Si cette conception précède donc de loin le XXème siècle, elle est reprise, dès les années 1900, par des metteurs en scène soucieux d'élever la pratique scénique au rang d'art à part entière. Craig, Vitez, Brook définissent la scène comme un espace capable de saisir l'invisible et dégagent, à partir de cette définition, une essence propre au théâtre. La mise en scène cesse d'être appréhendée comme l'illustration du manuscrit dramatique et gagne son autonomie. Le visible devient le champ de l'écrit, l'invisible, celui de sa représentation. Fondée sur la mise en scène shakespearienne, cette pensée fait du spectre d'Hamlet le paradigme d'une réalité scénique qui existe sans exister. A travers une sélection d'Hamlet, ce travail retrace la généalogie de cette théorisation de la représentation, et interroge ses limites
In the 16th century, it is quite frequent to claim that the sphere of the supernatural and that of the stage are ontologically linked. In the theoretical works as well as in the plays themselves, the actor is depicted as a shadow, and the performance, as the appearance of the dead. Shakespeare's art bears the imprint of this poetics of the unseen, whose origins date form the Antiquity. Therefore, if this conception far precedes the 20th century, it has been reaffirmed since the 1900's by producers who's intention was to put forward the staging as an art. Craig, Vitez and Brook now define the stage as a space capable of seizing unseen forces and retain, from this definition, a dramatic essence more properly suited to the theatre itself Staging stops being considered as an elementary translation of the text, and gains its autonomy. The visible world becomes the field of the written text, and the invisible that of its performance. Based on Shakespearian staging experiences, this idea made of Hamlet's ghost the paradigm of the theatrical reality, which is and is not. Through a selection of Hamlets, this work discusses the genealogy of this metaphysical theory of the staging, and examines its limits

Brake, Steven Ian. "Legendary fathers, transient victories, and ambivalent histories : continuity and development in Shakespeare's exploration of authority and resistance from Henry VI Part One to Hamlet." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/10666.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis explores the development of Shakespeare’s political ideas, in particular his exploration of authority, and the legitimacy of resistance towards it, in the two English history tetralogies (as well as the self-contained history, King John), and examines the ways in which this protracted engagement with the question of kingship – and governance more generally – informs his turn to tragedy towards the end of the 1590s. The thesis argues that criticism has tended to downplay the importance of the first tetralogy in the Shakespeare canon (particularly the Henry VI plays), and as a corollary it has overlooked the important continuities that can be traced from Shakespeare’s earliest engagement with politics to his treatment of power in Julius Caesar and Hamlet. The thesis sees the history plays as essentially paradoxical and ambivalent. Shakespeare presents the past as both a shining example to which each succeeding generation must aspire, but also as a legacy which they are powerless to fulfil, while he treats the dynastic conflicts of the Houses of York and Lancaster as essentially intractable, with each new pretender to the throne – however legitimate his claim – undermined by a host of legal, moral, and pragmatic considerations. It is a central contention of the thesis that it was Shakespeare’s failure satisfactorily to resolve the intractable political conflicts of the first tetralogy which prompted him to confront a similar set of questions in King John, before returning to them yet again in the more highly acclaimed second tetralogy. The thesis concludes by arguing that far from representing a breach with his history plays, the tragedies are continuous with them. So rather than identifying the ‘origins’ of Hamlet either in Shakespeare’s reaction to the fall of Essex or the death of his son, Hammet, in 1596, it is more persuasive to see the play as arising from the debates and problems which were initially addressed in the first tetralogy.

Abstract:
In act I, scene 2 of Shakespeare's Hamlet, one of the key themes presented is the theme of order versus disorder. Gertrude's hasty marriage to Claudius and their lack of grief over the recent death of King Hamlet violate Hamlet's sense of order and are the cause of Hamlet's anger and despair in 1.2. Rather than contrast Hamlet with his uncle and mother, Olivier constructs an Oedipal relationship between Hamlet and Gertrude--unsupported by the text--that undermine's the characterization of Hamlet as a man of order. In contrast, Tony Richardson presents Claudius' and Gertrude's actions as a violation of the order in which Hamlet believes.

Abstract:
El lenguaje sexual es una constante en la obra de Shakespeare durante un periodo de que abarca casi veinte años- especialmente durante el dirty period- y más de treinta obras. Pero no sólo el lenguaje sexual en Shakespeare también encontramos un gran repertorio de actos, opciones y propuestas sexuales: celibato, sexualidad pasional, incesto, violación, matrimonio, relaciones homoeróticas, amistad masculina, prostitución, etc. Centrándonos en Hamlet, nuestro trabajo pretende evaluar de forma objetiva once puns con connotación sexual identificados en el TO, analizando el grado de fiabilidad en cuatro TT- uno en catalán y tres en castellano-, cuyos traductores son Salvador Oliva (1986, 2003 y 2005), Vicente Molina Foix (1989), Instituto de Shakespeare (1992) y Ángel Luis Pujante (1994). Para establecer la validez de los TT partimos, en primer lugar, de las ediciones críticas y anotadas más recientes: desde John Dover Wilson (1934) hasta Ana Thompson y Neil Taylor (2006) y, en segundo lugar, de la larga tradición lexicográfica de Shakespeare existente: C.T. Onions (1911/1986), E. Partridge (1947/1968), M.M. Mahood (1957/1965), E.A.M. Colman (1974), F. Rubinstein (1984/1989), G. Williams (1994 y 1997), etc. Por una parte, aspiramos a identificar las estrategias utilizadas por traductores en su intento de trasladar el doble sentido subyacente -el general y el especializado- de los puns con el fin de recrear la ambigüedad y el plurisignificado del TO y contribuir a una mejor recepción de la obra universal en nuestro país. Por otra, tratamos de ofrecer un modelo útil de análisis que va de "muy satisfactorio" a "no satisfactorio" según grado de traslación conseguida en el intento de traducir los puns objeto de estudio. En algunos casos se ofrecen soluciones para futuras traducciones.

I uppsatsen studeras representationen av William Shakespeares pjäs Hamlet i affischsammanhang. Ett antal Hamletaffischer från 1900-talet framtill 2008 beskrivs, tolkas och analyseras. Fokus ligger främst på det aktuella anslaget från 2008 års produktion på Dramaten i Stockholm. Bakgrunden innehåller kortare teoriavsnitt om klassisk och visuell retorik, bildstruktur, semiotik samt affischens historia och roll i dag. En kortare beskrivning av pjäsens handling ger en naturlig ingång till den kortare presentationen av samtliga affischer som följer. I analysen studeras Hamlet från 2008 i en djupare dimension, där en analysmodell av Roland Barthes tillämpas på ett detaljerat plan. Därefter följer en jämförande analys med tidigare affischer, vilket avslutningsvis följs av en sammanfattande diskussion kring tidigare affischer och hur dess framtida representation kan tänkas ta form.

Full text
Abstract:
Fidèle à la tradition rhétorique, Shakespeare ne cesse de mettre en scène une situation de discours particulièrement intense: ce moment fondateur où,. Devant une assemblée, l'orateur doit emporter l'adhésion de tous par la force de sa parole. Le face à face décisif d'un orateur et d'une assemblée (scène rhétorico-politique) est présent dans de nombreux textes du Barde mais avec Ham/et, Shakespeare bannit l'éloquence politique. Changeant radicalement l'orientation de son écriture, le poète invente une nouvelle pratique du discours. Celle d'un anti-orateur. C'est à la lumière de ces observations initiales que nous interrogeons, des Sophistes à Cicéron et Tacite mais aussi de Thomas Wilson à Bacon, les présupposés conceptuels de la tradition rhétorique (notamment le rapport discours/force) et tentons de formuler, en nous appuyant sur une approche moderne des faits de langages (une pragmatique inspirée de Bourdieu), la conception du discours à l'œuvre sur la scène shakespearienne.

Full text
Abstract:
The role of Claudius in Shakespeare s The Tragedy of Hamlet has traditionally been affixed with the label of villain, coupled with a presumption of malice. This prejudice has plagued the role, relegating it to shallow melodrama throughout the majority of the play s 440 odd-year history. Although it has now become more commonplace to see him portrayed as a capable, intelligent, even initially likable king, this has only been the case for the past 50 years or so, and even so the label of villain and the assumption of malice persist and prevail even in contemporary practice. While the author is reluctant to insist on the benevolence of the King as imperative, they do contend that Claudius should not be portrayed as a villain. Doing so undermines the primary conflict - that of Hamlet vs. Claudius - cripples the possibilities for exploration of the King as a role, hinders the potential for Hamlet s journey, and absolves the viewer of active engagement by playing directly into expectations. Within this thesis, consideration of historical analysis and editorial tradition are utilized in order to demonstrate a progressively encompassing disregard that has led to the role s neglect. An account of the 2006 University of Central Florida Conservatory Theatre production is used to validate the necessity of avoiding a villainous portrayal of the King. A brief description of the author s ideal Claudius explores the realm of possibility opened by such non-villainous portrayal, and potential for the role s complexity is examined through a thorough voice/text analysis and brief discussion of Jaques Lecoq s movement equilibrium theory via appendices.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines Hamlet and Measure for Measure as related “problem plays.” In these plays, Shakespeare uniquely combines the genre of parable and the literary device of irony as a means to involve his audience in the experience of ordeal and deliverance that both reorients the protagonists’ personal, political, and ultimately theological assumptions and prompts spiritual insight in the spectator. As in a parable, a spiritual dimension opens subtly alongside each story to inform the play’s action and engage the spectator in the underlying theological discourse. Irony invites the audience to see the disparity between pretended or mistaken reality and the spiritual truth—between what “seems” and what “is.” As these complex dramatized parables unfold, potent tapestries of multilayered thematic irony coalesce into providential irony that exalts, rather than defeats, the protagonists and ultimately determines the outcome.

Este trabalho propõe-se a investigar a presença do Hamlet (1600-01), de William Shakespeare (1564-1616), em alguns textos de Machado de Assis (1839-1908). Procuramos compreender como o escritor brasileiro (des)leu a peça do dramaturgo inglês e a usou em sua criação individual. Intentamos expor a pertinência da leitura de Hamlet feita por Machado para a construção de alguns de seus textos, a saber, a Dedicatória e o prefácio “Ao leitor”, de Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas (1881), os contos “To be or not to be” (1876) e “A cartomante” (1896) e a crônica “A cena do cemitério” (1894). Traçamos o percurso da obra shakespeariana – principalmente Hamlet – através da sua recepção elisabetana, neoclassicista e romântica. Sob o influxo do Romantismo, Shakespeare ficou conhecido no nosso país. Machado de Assis foi leitor das obras do dramaturgo inglês e expectador de apresentações teatrais de peças shakespearianas. Conforme sua literatura e crítica literária revelam, o escritor carioca foi entusiasta das criações de Shakespeare. Acreditamos que poemas, contos, romances e peças nasceram como uma resposta a poemas, contos, romances e peças anteriores, e essa resposta dependeu de atos de leitura e interpretação por escritores posteriores. Defendemos a tese de que a escritura de Machado de Assis é resposta à leitura de Shakespeare, destacadamente a peça Hamlet. Procuramos demonstrar que Machado de Assis apropria-se da obra shakespeariana, com a convicção de que o romancista brasileiro deslê a obra de seu precursor, Shakespeare, em sua própria escrita. Utilizamos o conceito de desleitura segundo Harold Bloom (1991), ou seja, como apropriação de uma obra anterior por meio de uma correção criativa, ou uma interpretação distorcida. Analisaremos os textos machadianos acima listados, em que Shakespeare mostra-se evidente, e os compararemos ao Hamlet do autor inglês, partindo da ideia de que esses textos não existiriam se Machado de Assis não tivesse lido a obra shakespeariana.
