Full textModern studies on Greek tragedy are usually based either on the structural contrast between « individual characters » and « collective character » (chorus) or on a social-type contrast between heroes (born into an illustrious mythical family) and people of modest origins. In fact, both reading grids don’t take into account the characters which are at the same time « individuals » and « ordinary people », the anonymous characters (some fifteen in Sophocles’). Regarded as simple « small parts », they have never been the subject of a specific study. In the ancient and modern stage directions (didascalies) of the text, they are refered to by a common noun, most of the time reflecting their function (messenger), their work (shepherd) or their age (an old man), but this common noun can vary for the same character from an edition to another. The survey first deals with the origins and the history of these designations, from the oldest manuscript of Sophocles’text to the most recent editions. The second part of the thesis studies the position and the part of these characters in the tragical plot : if , as expected, their influence on the action is limited, in return they are essential instruments for the construction of space and time, characteristics of every tragedy, they are the « go-between » required for an internal communication between the other characters, as well as the necessary vehicle for communication from the author to the audience. Last, the third part presents the ancient concept of « character » and tries to decide in which extent these anonymous can be given a « nature » in the aristotelician meaning

Full textThe work consists of a formal, non-linear analysis of the Remarks on Oedipus and of the Remarks on Antigona by Hölderlin, the two texts juxtaposed to the translations of Sophocles published in 1804. In a general sense, it aims at countering the idea of a theoretical continuity, or a dialectical progression within Hölderlin’s thought. The argument proceeds partly by way of criticism of every sign of a theological-philosophical cohesion, discernable in most efforts of philological appropriation. On the other hand, the figure of the chorus is given a central role, in order to underline the connection between dramatic structure and metaphysical-historical discourse. Rather than standing for lyricism as a structural paragon of the tragic form, or serving as prefiguration of the hymnic poetry after 1803, the rooting of the chorus in the link between action and reflection allows us to shed light upon four instances of a given conceptual partition: historical, poïetic-dramatic, political and philosophical

Full textEasily identifiable by their syntactical structure and their vocabulary, the general reflections in the plays of Sophocles are declarations of aTuthority. They appear in both spoken and sung parts of the plays. They take on their full significance only within a dramatic context, through the point of view of the speaker and through the situation in which they occur. They are used to support lines of argument, and thus depend on the speaker's tactics. They play an important role in recurring dramatic situations such as speeches of defence, accusation, supplication, and consolation. They constitute the didactic force of the plays of Sophocles and are an appeal to the political maturity of the audience, encouraging listeners to reflect on the variability of situations and on the fragility of human happiness

Full textInfluenced by the premier magico-religious greek thought (vi century:orphism, "greek shamanism"), sophocleu's universe is founded on the vision of the "the total man":the antithesis of the original principles, the ethic the tragic hero defends (cult of dead) and the tragic language affirm the presence of the myth in sophocleus. In ajax, the trajic hero becomes divine and he, as the orphic god dionysus, passes through passion from death to the restoration of the dionysiac body. Artaud's theatrical vision springs from the mythic sources: his actor, incarnation of the mythic hero, mediator of the conflicts, from a ritual space by his acting. Artaud evokes the greek thoght as well as sophocleus, especially in his ideas bout the body (orphic conceptions) and the culture (heraclitu's influence). His search follows the sophoclean mind in recreating the divine united body. So ajax could constitute a model of the theatre of cruelty : the trajic language and the acting from a ritual space, as artaud wanted to realise in his theater. Our project of direction proposes a space conbining the structures of the ancient greek theater and artaud's theater (the spectators are encircled by the action): the chorus could transform the space (according to his acting). The acting (voice and movement of the actors), the light and the sound would create a ritual space, exercing a "physical" role, as in artaud's theater

Full textConcerning "The myth of the hero in the theater of Sophocles", this thesis subjects the myth to the test of the theater. So it re-questions the relationship traditionally established between the myth and the tragedy. If, in the epic, the myth was perceived as the word of the age-old origin, restoring the brightness of the divine and heroic actions, to the tragic theater, where the verb is assumed by alive characters in the here and now of the dramatic performance, this myth appeared rather under a substantial shape and a reality. From then on: what authorizes to speak about heroic myth at Sophocles and which are the outlines of the sophoclean heroism? The examination consisted at once in identifying the mythical circles which are the configurations updated by the myth at Sophocles. They are: the fate, the truth and the violence by which the god shows himself. Here the mythical expresses itself in and by the excess of the imperious power passing off on the hero and characterizing his world as a demonic world. The study attempts then to define the relation weaved between the hero and these mythical circles. It is cleanly a question of naming the reaction of the hero in front of what oppresses him. On this matter, the study reveals that the revolt of the hero is followed at once by a movement of reappropriation of the forms of the myth. In the point where, after all, the hero makes body with the violence or the truth or the fate. Finally, the study reconstitutes the Sophoclean creative gesture around the notions of "agôn" and of sacrifice. All in all, the sophoclean heroism is a heroism of the revolt which puts the hero in front of god, in a paradoxical equality

Full textThe text of Sophocles' last tragedy, Oedipus at Colonus, is based on A. Dain and R. D. Dawe's work. This line by line translation endeavours to respect stylistic differences between the parts that are spoken and the ones that are sung. A general presentation introduces the play and emphazises the main character' rehabilitation. Oedipus defends himself in a speech, absolving himself from the crimes linked to his name. In Athens, he finds the gratitude he was denied in Thebes. Oedipus at Colonus concludes the analyse of the character, whom mythical status is underlined a second time. The line by line commentary gives explanations for the choices made about the text. Syntactic, lexicological, stylistic and literary remarks take words as a starting point. For each stasimon or epeisodios a literary analysis precedes commentary

Full textThe thesis provides an analysis of the role of objects in four tragedies (Ajax, Trachiniae, Electra, Philoctetes) and a Satyr play (Ichneutai) by Sophocles. The purpose is to investigate the initial observation that objects have a key function in the general economy of each of the plots and the specificity of this function in Sophocles. The introduction highlights the emergence of the material turn in the humanities, the flexible and operative nature of the category "object', the link with the question of the sign and non-verbal language and points to the absence of the category in Ancient Greek, The object is not discussed as a theatrical prop, but as an entity within theatrical fiction. A distinction is made between the moments when objects are likely to appear on stage and moments when they do appear in a narration or evocation. Within the fictional world of each plot and in the context of the theatrical genre, which combines speech and actions, the focus is on the textual and poetic modes of appearance of intra-fictional objects. Metaphors and images play a major role. Five chapters offer a detailed analysis of objects and their functions and leed to the conclusion in which several overarching observations are made: by means of objects, Sophocles plays on presence and absence, shifts between speech and actions as well as between verbal and non-verbal communication, alludes to absent characters, time frames and spaces, plays on the misuse of their functions, the modalities of giving, sharing and deprivation, personification and reification. In Sophocles, objects play a key role in the expression of the fulfillment of destiny

Full textThrough the ambiguity of the language of Oedipus Tyrannus, this thesis aims to emphasize the link between the ipseist isolation in which Oedipus left himself be locked and his misunderstanding or misuse of language : she gets efficiency only when satisfying semantic, syntactical and formal criterions. When dialogue has been renewed in seeking after Laius' murderer, the hero learns again that understanding is not immediately produced by visual perception, that "knowing for having seen" (eidenai) needs words exchanged as constituting the city, and that man can master his action, i. E. His happiness (eu prattein), only collectively. The ultimate addressee taught by the tragic crisis is the Athenian audience, who is led by the self-reference of the play, through the waverings as well as the certainties of the chorus, to make himself be the ideal subject, possessing the logos which he deciphers in the tragic irony

Full textThe Periclean Athens showed great tensions and significant social inequalities. Authority and its limits, the ideal regime and political art as the relation between public interest and individual freedom, are the main central questions of political debate, supported by Sophocles, Herodotus and Protagoras. Pericles wants to reconcile the tendencies inside the city : the aristocratic mind and the democracy of all citizens. As such, the institution of democracy is achieved, in an imaginary way. On one hand, the self creation of the society and its transformation into a rational society takes place based on its own norms, values, laws (dèmokratia, philosophia, ta koina, politikè technè, astynomoi orgai). On the other hand, the aristocratic values (arétè, déos, agraphoi nomoi, aidôs, dikè), enrich the civic life of Athenians. So, archaic ethics have to be considered as an indispensable component of the identity of the secularised Periclean regime
Nicolas, Christian. "La relation authentique (présupposés philosophiques) : Œdipe de Sophocle comme fil conducteur." Tours, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997TOUR2019.
Full textA short definition of the authentic relationship is necessary. The greek term "authentes" which means basically "one who murders with his own hands" can be found at the origin of the word "authentic". The presence of the root "autos" refers to the idea of cause and power, i. E. Who is the cause of, the master of, i. E. Again, the real author. The authentic relationship is the passage from submission to freedom, it is tearing the veil. It is having access to what is in oneself this release is impossible without one's fellow-beings. That is why we have wished to make it a unique concept. It is an unconscious psychological process, going through 5 stages, among which the most spectacular is the third, which we have called "the founder-situation", which has been rejected for too long as an artefact of collective life. In order to be able to interpret this unconscious process, we had to use the myth. The character who was obvious because he is living in a founder-situation is paradoxically the most unauthentic of all the characters in greek mythology: he is Oedipus. The one who bravely applied himself to discover his own truth. The successive stages in Oedipus’s life in the work of Sophocles will become our mythical model. The authentic relationship is much more than an obstacle in the life of a group. It is a meaningful individual unconscious process. It is a passage beyond the frontier. It is asserting new values, a new metaphysical deal. This newfound authenticity engenders conflicts and break-ups with the family and close relatives. The person who experiences them will wander before reaching full self-acceptance. Without being aware of it, he or she will be living through the present mythical model in Sophocles’ diptych

Full textBy nature, theatre and time are linked. In Sophocles’ seven remaining tragedies, χρόνος is in the heart of the characters’ speeches, as a subject of their thought about human life, but first of all, as an agent of the progressing plot. On the first level, his action is destructive, because Sophocles’ hero, “a man of one day” (Aj. 399 and Ant.790), is afflicted by the brutal nature of time, made of arbitrary reversals to which he tries to resist to, as much he can, unless he makes light of them. But, on the second level, action in progress, time is also constructive of the tragic effect. This is attested by many and diverse words, showing fate going through the tragedy. So, time, that is impossible to represent on stage, because it is outside of the mimesis, reveals the hidden tension, commonly named the tragic, a woolly concept, never really defined by the texts, which will find here a poetic consistency and a new definition by the observation of the playwright’s choices. Thus, it is Sophocles’ creative reasoning that is analysed. According to the vocabulary in some passages selected, his reputation of not being a very spectacular author is belied: delay, haste, reversals, luck, opportunity… are highlighted in the texts, as major indicators of the action progressing to its end. And then, by crossing the lexical data, the enunciation marks and elements of civic rituals showed on the surface of the texts, we can then clearly distinguish the logical sequences of events making the tragedies’ coherence and the own temporality of each work. Sophocles builds his tragedies like a “carpenter” of the tragic effect. He makes up a dramatic present scattered with a plenty of signs showing χρόνος going through. At the end, Sophoclean tragedies are conscious of their own structure, because they develop a performative language to speak about the sensitive relation between man and time, and also, about their relation with time making of their poetic organization.KEYWORDS: tragedy-tragic effect-deixis-time-temporality

Full textWhy does Heidegger discuss the words of Pindar and Sophocles in his 1935 course of lectures, “Einführung in die Metaphysik” ? The sole aim of the present study is to demonstrate that poetry cannot be seen simply as a means to get away from metaphysics: the Greek preoccupation with Being is evident in Greek poetry. Even though the intention of the two poets is not to determine the nature of “Being”, the songs of Pindar as well as “Oedipus the King” and “Antigone” assume that there is a relationship between the Greeks and the entirety of what is involved in the Appearance. The references to poets’ words are not decorative but are crucial in granting us access to Greek thought: this becomes clear through a close textual examination of Heidegger’s commentaries and translations, and also by a re-reading of the work of the poets that are suggested by his comments. Heidegger’s course brings to our attention two poets whose words facilitate our access to the historical beginnings of metaphysics

Full textThe secret, in the psychoanalytic field, is distinguished from a wide range of possibilities which more often lead to confusion. It emerges into an idea of a secret of which the inner value would confine to an inaudible and unspeakable truth sent back to an unlimited withdrawal. Travelling through literature and sciences, it is established that such secret, mainly, hold up through a cipher. Sent back to the writing field, Freud helps us to apprehend this secret through the interpretation of dreams, the deciphering of hieroglyphics and the exemplary nature of Œdipus the king. The text by Sophocles witnesses the circulation of the secret but also the revelation as a devastating experience for the subject. This rises the question about the listening of this secret in the cure. Therefore we go back, with the helps of Lacan and Freud, to deciphering as being a possible reading of the secret, allowing the subject's stowing and the articulation of a position where the subject is experiencing what desire is

Full textIn fifth-century Athens, tragic dramatists were responsible for the whole production of their plays, from plot-writing to casting, musical composition to choreography, staging to actor’s direction – performance was therefore an essential part of their work. Materialized by props on stage, objects are things with which the characters interact and a potential source of scenic effects. Swords, shields, vases, funerary urns, beds or even wheeled chariots, among many other objects, are mentioned in the extant tragedies and invested with dramatic function and symbolic meaning. Emblematic objects give an insight into the status and ethos of the characters; as instruments, objects are a means to achieve a goal, but they might resist to the characters’ intentions. All of them contribute to characterize them as tragic heroes. Therefore, this dissertation aims to show that the object can be considered as a principle of dramatic composition and of construction of the performance in Greek tragedy; it also questions the existence of a thought or an imagination of the relationships between human beings and objects, animate and inanimate, in the tragic plays. Looking at the whole corpus of extant tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides (including the most significative fragments), this work describes the specific dramaturgy of the object developed by each poet to translate into visual and dynamic terms a tragic vision

Full textTheatrical problems related to Greek tragedy (translation, scenic space, characters, chorus, etc. ), as well as the ancient theater's 'message' today, are the essential themes of this essay. Through contemporaneous directions of three Sophocles's plays: Antigona, Oedipus rex, Elektra, the author strives to follow and analyse the evolution concerning the way Greek tragedies have been directed in France from 1960 to 1986. In his thesis's first part, the author considers, emiting some critics, the solutions suggested by the directors from this period to solve the problems brought up by the tragic repertoire, intending to give a general vision of the situation and to propose a typology of antic drama's scenic treatment. Finally, the second part of this study is dedicated to the work of three French directors on Sophocles's opera: Jean Vilar, Jean-Paul Roussillon, Antoine Vitez, as the author considers their point of view on Greek tragedy as the most relevant according to the period and domain herein studied, therefore deserving a monographic treatment

Full textWe analyzed the two sophoclean tragedies regarding Oedipus (Oedipus-Tyrannus and Oedipus at Colonus), through the expressions (philosophical, civic and cultural) of the political of the 5th century. By suggesting that the tragedy make us think of the city, without reflecting her directly, we enlightened the two tragedies through the examining of the political-historical-cultural expressions, by the history of athens. The political "tyrannical" self-sufficiency, connected with the conquer of the family-city, the intellectual "tyrannical" self-sufficiency, the stasis within the expressions of the political, linked on the other hand with the moderation and the unification within the city, are detected in the tragedy and in the city of Athens. Oedipus passes from the anti-model of the theban citizen to the model "athenian" citizen, through his heroisation at Colonus, in the city model of king Theseus

Full textThe aim of this work is to show how an influence of sophistry upon the theatre of sophocles can be felt. Too often critics have thought that euripides alone was inspired by the reflexions of the sophists. But if one studies the problem of truth, falsehood and deceit in sophocles, then one notes that his tragedies set the problem of likelihood and illusion. Besides, it is clear that sophocles always shows the consequences of deceit, a point that distinguishes him from euripides. Our analysis is based upon four tragedies: ajax, the trachiniae, electra, and philoctetes

Université Marc Bloch (Strasbourg) (1971-2008), 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994STR20008.
Full textThe present study focuses on three 19th century plays (buchner's woyzeck, musset's lorenzaccio, and strindberg's miss julia), whose heroes represent an uncertain subject. The two other plays (sophocles' oedipus the king and beckett's end game) serve as reference points, so as to get the full measure of the passage of the "i" from articulation to dislocation. The identity crisis feaztured in modern tragedy takes shape at the precise moment in the history of consciousness when two patterns of the self (the "i") coexist - a homogenous pattern (enhanced and fixed self-image) and a heterogenous pattern (when an otherness in oneself is discoverd and rejected). The coexistence of both these patterns determines the dislocated dimension in the modern tratic character. The modern dramatization of the self that is at the heart of the present analysis thrives on this coexistence. It deconstructs the myth of the pure self by setting up the image of a fixed, ideal self against the experience of a changing inner and outer reality. The gap between image and reality is expressed in the metaphoric and stage representation of a tension between visage and mask. The marks of this tension are imprinted on the body. It also shows itself in a dramatization that wawers between continuity and discontinuity as well as in the way the character relates to his surroundings, in theimages of others that prolong and explain his

Full textThis work consists in studying the expression and the functions of pain and disease and their tragic potentialities in Sophoclean drama. Il investigates the ways of expressing pain, the metaphoric disease, and the experience of distress as revelating the tragic shape and the dramatic elaboration of each play. A few figurative standard expressions are used to convey subjective sensation of pain and distress, and their metaphoric value is renewed in a poetic way. Subjective sensation is mentionned when suffering plays an important dramatic part. The “double-suffering” pattern stresses the singularity of the tragic hero's awareness. The use of disease in a figurative sense and of metaphors derived from medicine, and especially therapeutics, are investigated. The pathologic behaviour, the disease of love, or the sickness of the polis points out the boundaries between character and tragic disaster. The experience of suffering not so much leads to wisdom than it reveals the sophoclean characters, and clarify their tragic tendances. Learning and understanding are often confined to endurance or to vivid consciousness of suffering. In the last plays, the character only suffers and this suffering paradoxically influences the dramatic progress

As it is archetypal, adventurous solitude could be a creative experience and for the individual, it could be an exhortation to self-exigency, which builds up identity. Solitude could materialize in rhetoric, its inventio, dispositio and elocutio, its figure and links, which are the tools of the individual's fulfilment. The question is to realise how the individual organizes a poetized world whose first aim could be to rhythm the individual's “opening out”, in a word their quest for identity. From the initial crisis i-e solitude, the individual could exist only in this aesthetics
Murrali, Eugenio. "Les hapax dell'Edipo re di Sofocle : comunicazione scenica e ricezione." Paris, EHESS, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013EHES0062.
Full textThe thesis Gli hapax dell'Edipo re di Sofoele: comunicazione scenica e ricezione is a study analyzing the 25 hapax of the Sophocle's tragedy. In the introduction the aim of the research is presented. At the beginning, the hapax is defined and the theory of the composition of the ancient Greek names is briefly presented. This introductive part is completed by a general summary about the hapax in the play, and by some tables giving an overview , by a definition of the style, and by the status quaestionis about the date of the tragedy. Chapter one is the core of the work. In this section, the analysis about each hapax is presented. Each analysis is introduced by the relative passage and by its translations. In Chapter two the hapax is linked with four lexical fields: the walking, the divine, the relationship with the polis, the vision. Starting from these results, an interpretative thought about the play is given. Chapter three concerns the pragmatic value of the Oedipus king. The last chapter is focussed on the translations of these hapax, and sometimes, new translations are proposed. In the conclusions, results are summarized, stressing the pragmatic aspects. These aspects are referred to the theory of the "interpretative cooperation". Moreover, a personal interpretation of the Oedipus king is proposed

Full textThis Dissertation aims at embracing Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s stage music, more particularly his works composed for the court of the King of Prussia, which were much admired in the nineteenth century. The King of Prussia Frederick William IV wished to renew the theater by imposing the representation of classical and Shakespearean plays, at a time when these two aesthetic models seemed out-dated. I would understand how these works, dictated by an royal arbitrariness, were one of the starting points in Europe of the creation of works inspired by antiquity, music pieces ranging from parodic or serious operas to incidental music. Moreover, this research into and analysis of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s stage works allows us to consider what could be the dramatic ideas of a highly educated composer who could speak Greek and Latin, but never wrote his own librettos – unlike Berlioz or Wagner – and always seemed to have difficulty finding a libretto that would enable him to express his musical ideas and visions for the stage. However, in his incidental music, the composer always went further what was expected in this genre, searching perhaps, in a so-called period of « crisis » of drama genres in Germany, a new way of combining text and music, a new dramatic path between opera, drama, oratorio and melodrama

Full textMy approach in this study is twofold, its basis is a detailed, and in the case of fifteen plays, even an exhaustive reading of the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Racine and Grillparzer, for references to the sea, to fire, to light and shadow, to animals, to all those elementrs which conventionally constitute nature. On this foundation, I examine the relationship between nature and the tragic, my postulate being that such references, far from being pure ornament, have a thematic and structural function. Revealing. Analysis shows that for writers of tragedy, nature polarises between the grandiose, the mysterious, the threastening on the one hand, and on the other the wead, the poignant and the threatened: the elements at their most tempestuous, the most immeasurable, animals hunted and hunters, in short violence and victim. Predator and prey. Revealingly too, references to nature in tragedy are not formally equivalent to those in epic. The homeric simile of the epic, presupposing a distinction between tenor and vehicle, betwwen nature and man, gives way to metaphor which does not interrupt the urgency of the action, and which is the stylistic transposition of the inextricable bonds between man and nature
Mambrini, Francesco. "Sofocle, Aiace 1-865 : un commento antropologico." Paris, EHESS, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008EHES0087.
Full textThe thesis is a textual commentary of Sophocles, Ajax, vv. 1-865, focused on the play as a mythopoietical construction and analysed with the help of anthropological categories. The notion of polyvalence of legendary images, theorised by L. Gernet, lead to a better assessment of the most debated problem: the heroic identity of Ajax. Gestures, postures in the scenic space, ways of manipulating objects and speeches uttered by the characters are studied within the system of associations and connections both with the world of myth and of the social life of Athens. Particularly, Ajax' utterances draw a sort of linguistic journey, whose last stage is the creation of an heroic identity directly related to the athenian cult. The thesis is focused on Ajax as an actual performer, and stops therefore at his suicide (v. 865)

Full textThe aim of this PhD thesis, based on Aeschylus’, Sophocles’ and Euripides’ treatments of the Oedipus myth, is to understand how Greek tragic playwrights – who aroused the public interest while always dealing with the same stories – managed to reinvent theatre and write new plays out of the same myths. Admittedly, mythical material was not fixed, yet, tragedy was a genre which structure was highly codified, and quite limited in terms of visual effects. Thus, it was mainly within the text itself that authors could intervene by way of an ever-repeated work on their own language. Therefore, it is the texts of tragedies themselves which are the subject of this study, and which will be explored from three different perspectives; hermeneutic, philological and comparative. This not only allows for an understanding of the deeper issues each text tackles, but also of the variations on the myth and the effects they create. The corpus (Aeschylus' Seven against Thebes, Sophocles' Antigone, Œdipus Rex, Œdipus at Colonus, Euripides' Phoenician Women) – limited yet reasonable – will be analysed rigorously and with as little a priori as possible. What is proposed in this study is a better understanding of how the mechanics of tragedy worked, as well as of how part of a poetics could evolve through perpetual renewal, as tragic poets explored the possibilities of their language, worked on representations and traditional materials they had inherited. The aim of this study is to better grasp the means of poetic creation in a given cultural context so as to gain the best possible understanding of the limits within which it took place. It also allows for a deepened understanding of a culture in which people still enjoyed plays while already knowing how they would end

Full textThis thesis is a theoretical and practical reflection on different versions of French and Chinese translation of Antigone - a Sophoclean tragedy of ancient Greek. It intends to discover the nature of translation, expose the problems in translation and show the distinctions between different language communities. The study is conducted on the basis of an old but rich literary corpus from the perspectives of translation studies and linguistics, by using interlinear and contrastive approaches. Principles and procedures that developed in the theoretical part are used in the commentary and practices of translation in order to remove doubts and expose the difficulties in translation. Moreover, both synchronic and diachronic methods are employed in the comparisons of the different versions of translation. As a result, the study firstly generalizes some methods of translating ancient literary texts, and then discovers the linguistic, textual and background problems in the translation of ancient Greek in French and Chinese; in the last part it identifies the universal solutions to literary translation as well as the particularities of translation activity in China. The study clarifies the spacio-temporal and lingo-cultural distances among these three civilizations and offers solutions to overcome the untranslatability according to the specific context. These results suggest that translation is an interdisciplinary science, which enriches the cultural heterogeneity and in which the translator plays the role of a mediator

Full textWhen adapting a myth to theatre, the plot from the original antique tradition is often largely modified to suit the audience’s mentality of the time, especially as far as the reprensentation of the family ties is concerned. Perhaps because it proposes a model which is complicated even for ancient Greeks to accept (that of a son killing his mother)The Electra myth has had a difficult transmission through the ages. The rare occurences of Electra in the XVIIth century, and the necessary innovations that playwriters had to invent to adapt the subject during the second half of the XVIIIth century confirm those difficulties. As a sister, Electra’s character is deeply modified. Even if she remains attached to an ideal of family unity, this reunion now includes the mother, which implies a totally different view of the matricide in the original text. Although the young woman’s reactions are sometimes difficult to understand, from a legal and social point of view they can be linked to the norms to which they obey, even when they seem to break them. The Electra myth is at its most dynamic time in Europe when a new interest in familial relationships is growing. In tragedy, there is a noticible transition between plays in the XVIIth century where the role of the sister is widely unspecialized, to plays in the XIXth century where the sister character is recognised for its rich relationship with the brother. Intrigues dedicated to Electra stress the relationship between the brother and sister: that specificity helps to explain why this antique fable is so popular at the very same time as the drame bourgeois

Full textThe comparative study of the tragedies of Sophocles and the dramas of Anouilh points out the evolution in the mentalities concerning the obsessive problem of evil. These two antinomic thoughts that are faith and atheism reveal the distress of man questioning himself about pain. The heroes of Sophocles and Anouilh are remarkable because they escape the paralysis of the suffering being. Their routes bring a new light on the heroical spirit and its altruism. Far from letting themselves dominate by evil, they compose with it in order to look for its meaning or even how to help it in their own essential being. In spite of the pain included in these plays, the fascination of the public for their theatrical performances has remained the same since antiquity. The spectator experiments there all the possible in front of evil and can also evaluate his own capability to dominate his anguishes its depth thanks to the aesthetic experience

Full textOur approach, inspired by the anthropological studies of ancient Greece, is conducted along two mains lines. As a first step, we attempt to examine the specific patterns of filiation delineated by the tragics : firstly, through Oedipus' sons, whose suicidal twinship repeats their father's duality. Then, through Orestes who, in Aeschylus' and Euripides' plays, appears as a mimetic son doomed to a loss of self. Finally, through Euripides' Hippolytus and Hyllus in the trachiniae, paralysed sons who are denied harmonious access to adulthood. Our second direction of research leads us to study the process of "entrapment" which seems to govern the characters' way of relating to their own speech; we use the polysemy of the terms akin to philos as an example allowing us to establish a parallel between the son figures and some female characters participating in their destiny and debates : thus, in the first chapter, we re-examine the tragedies devoted to Orestes, from Aeschylus to Euripides, showing how this conflicting polysemy reveals the tensions between family and elective ties. In the second chapter, Antigone embodies, in the Oedipus coloneus as well, the labdacides' tendency to revert to the origin regardless of the law of reproduction inherent in civic life. Lastly, the third chapter is devoted to Medea, who can only realize herself by consummating her refusal of marriage, and yearning for the paternal home through murdering her sons. In the conclusion, we propose to show that tragic philia is a kind of antidote to "proper" civic filiation-reproduction, and we expose the issue of the effect produced on the citizenspectator of Athens by this projection of the fundamentals of his own condition
