Beaudoin, Antoine. "Theâtre et architecture sous le Troisième Reich : les scènes de plein air au service de la propagande de masse." Thesis, Paris 10, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA100133/document.
Full textThe open-air theatre construction movement under the Third Reich or Thingbewegung is a relatively unknown aspect of National Socialist cultural policy. This propaganda theatre was to gather several thousand spectators in outlying places, spaces specially built by the regime to celebrate the community of the people free of any social differentiation or, to use Nazi terminology, the Volksgemeinschaft. The central aspect remains the regime’s desire to bring together, on a considerable scale, a new form of architecture and mass theatrical performance. The objective, clearly expressed from the beginning of the movement in 1933, was to develop 400 stages throughout the country. By 1934, twenty were actually under construction and, at the beginning of the Second World War in 1939, there were about thirty of them. This research project is based on the hypothesis that a better understanding of the phenomenon becomes possible when it is replaced within the dual historical tradition of theatre and architecture. This approach, both synchronic and diachronic, based on a multidisciplinary approach, aims to uncover the specific forms of creation of these scenic places while emphasizing the association with the totalitarian ideological policy of National Socialism

Full textAfter the repression of the “Communes”; with the recovery of the worker revolutionary movement, the socialists launched into taking over the political power. They strove to win over a growing number of workers and used theater- this archetypal social art which, at the time, had a central role- as one of their means of propaganda. Even though impacted by transient experiences, theater, as embraced by the socialist movement, expresses itself by the programming of performances, the formation of companies, reruns, compositions and impressions of plays; at least till the coming of World War I. It spread, over the years, into three domains of activity- those of elders, young people and that of children. Thanks to the attention that was paid to sources which are usually ignored by performing arts, theater- such as the one that was organized and/or performed for socialist propaganda- is shed to light in our study, regarding its various aspects. The first part tackles the reflection of this theater, and after a section concerning socialist propaganda as a purpose, explores the reasons for resorting to stage. The second part deals with its actual activity and hitherto reviews its frameworks and the conditions of its emergence, the organization and the functioning of its companies, the reception of its performances. The third and last part is devoted to plays that were on, that were performed, written and/or advised by socialists. Plays are tackled in accordance with the two main roles that socialists assigned to theater. But dramatic art- since militants put a stress on these texts- was focused on texts that were supposed to meet the purpose of persuasion.Thus, our study sheds light on one stage of militant theater in France, and hitherto brings about caveats for research concerning the history of theater in general. It also makes one wonder about the emergence of a socialist culture in France before 1914

Full textWhereas the cinema of the Thirties and Forties has been the center of attention, photography remains one of the most effective weapons of the propaganda for this period. Studies on the subject remain scarce. Photography has been very much used by National-Socialist Germany between 1933 and 1945, and in France during the occupation. But the Nazi Germany is not the only one to have used the photography, which is especially conveyed by the illustrated press and the booklets of propaganda. The French government also used photography for its own propaganda and was strongly inspired by the techniques implemented in Germany. If local circumstances often influence the topics chosen for photography propaganda; main characteristics remain the same, whatever the country is, the cult of the chief is omnipresent. Photography served totalitarian propaganda of the Nazi Germany and Vichy’s France, but it was also the weapon of the antifascists. They oppose other uses of this medium to Nazi propaganda, such as the political photomontage

Full textIn Munich, the roots of the Volkstheater ("people's theatre") are anchored in a tradition profoundly marked by both the counter-reform and the aufklarung, as well as reactions to the latter. In the 1850s, thanks to the drama by F. Prüller set in the mountains, suburban theatres had become the bastion of a particularism which was attempting to preserve the Christian values of "old Bavaria", and defend the autonomy of the kingdom of Wittelsbach from cultural invasion by the "north". In 1865 they had to give way to a prestige establishment, the symbol of a bourgeoisie laying claim to its own cultural domain, and this phase heralded the dislocation of "theatre for all" in Munich. The "popular" spectacle was not to be spared from the confrontations engendered by resolution of the German issue and the Kulturkampf, but assertion of identity, as symbolised by dynastic figures, and then even more so by the peasant hero and the Haberfeldtreiben, that popular tribunal of mores, was ever-present. By disseminating throughout the Germanic domain the image of an ever-rural Bavaria, the Gebirgsschauspiel was a public refusal of a modern world which was simultaneously destroying inherited values and yet, in its own way, contributing to the struggle for cultural supremacy between berlin and Munich. The 1890s, with the emergence of authors influenced by naturalism, were to signal the end of the celebration of old myths. J. Ruederer and l. Thoma mark the culmination of the literisation process of the "popular" spectacle: they are active in the artistic trends of their time, adapting old themes to social and political reality in works aimed at elite establishments. They transcend the Bavarian horizon and herald the critical popular drama, yet at the same time assert the specificity of a "south" with Munich and Bavaria as its main pole

Full textLeading figure of the modern theatre, August Strindberg combines a tremendous dramatic creativity with a constant attachment to the theatre of his time and with a remarkable diversification in the aesthetic expression. Situated in the social and historical background of Germany between 1890 and 1912, the theatre of Strindberg was influenced by the culturel climate of the wilhelm period and faced to new ideas, such as naturalism and neo-romantism. Therefore Strindberg became the witness of the history of the German theatre. By the controversies he raises (audience and critics) and the problems arising from the realization of his plays (directors and actors), he reveals us the contradiction of the German cultural system: censorship, court and commercial theatres as opposed to marginal theatres, travelling companies, cabarets and dramatic associations. His plays underline also the slow evolution of theatrical aesthetics illustrated by Otto Brahm, Max Reinhardt and Georg Fuchs. The part played by Strindberg as an inventor and a practitioner of the stage (projection equipment, scenery, "intimate theatre", "dreamplay stage") as well as the integration of his ideas in the revival of the German theatre, are particularly studied in this thesis
Mazellier-Grünbeck, Catherine. "Sécularisation et sacralisation dans le théâtre expressionniste allemand 1910-1924." Paris 10, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA100044.
Full textThis thematic study analyses the phenomenon of literary secularization and the sacred manifestations in the German expressionistic theatre throughout about fifty plays, in particular three main authors: Georg Kaiser, Ernst Toller and Ernst Barlach. The different forms of literary secularization are shown: allusion, variation on biblical characters or themes and structural variation in the case of the "stationendrama", interpreted as the transfer of a religious structure (the passion) into a dramatic structure. A functional typologie is established from these forms, with three functions: referential, parodical and blasphemous function. On the oher hand, the expressionistic theatre expresses the sacralization of the secular world and the realization, here and now, of the message of love and hope in the gospel. The ideal of the "new man", the communal utopia and the theatrical experience, conceived as a communion, illustrate that. The conception of the sacred is shown by the role of the irrational, of the immanence and subjective experience of the religious sphere
Dauphin, Sandrine. "Art et totalitarisme : l'esthétique comme instrument de propagande." Paris 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA020070.
Full textIn the first part of the twentieth century, the antagonism between communism and facism was not limited only to ideological and military levels but was also present at cultural levels. Indeed mussolini's italy, hitler's germany and staline's ussr created a common aesthetic in spite of political opposition. Thus, these totalitarian states exploited art for the purpose of propaganda. If art is an active agent of communication between men, then art can also be the manner for ideological expression. How then did art change, orientate and modify an individual's perception of the world in general? architecture reflected pomp and luxury while its large scale works expressed authority crousing fear and admiration at the same time. As for support of the "plastic arts", they allowed, deification of the supreme chief and permitted the announcement of the new man. Art was giving rise form to the totalitarian utopia which existed to transform human nature. Art was not simply the society's reflection but the reflection of the idea the power made of its people. Its allowed the people to believe in spiritual union with the state and its chief

Full textThis work is about national theatre at munich court between 1818 ans 1848. We studied its drama repertoire during this period and its reception. The first one - the wittelsbach and theatre : history of a tradition - allows us to discover the interest taken by the bavarian sovereigns, century after century, in scenic arts in munich. With the enumeration of their personal contributions to theatre and opera development. The second one, the most important too, is entitled study of the drama repertoire from 1818 to 1848, analysis of the newspapers reviews, mirror of tastes. It aims to grasp the repertoire main aspects. So one part deals with german theatre in classical times with goethe, kleist, lessing and schiller as well as babo, collin, iffland, etc. A great part deals with the german theater in biedermeier times, another one with the viennese theatre at the same period. Then a last part is about foreign theatre whose most authors were adapted for the german stage. The mentionned theatre are french, english, spanish, italian and danish. In a third and last part, we approached the music and choregraphy styles in the repertoire : operas, ballets, entertainments, pantomimes, concerts and other manners. But we insist on the fact that this part was not dealt at the previous one. We simply approached it on statistics levels, as we did in the first part of the second chapter

Full textSeveral studies since 1945 have elaborated the constitutive character of ceremonial acts for Hitler’s state. However the fact that the most important of these were live radio broadcasts has so far received little consideration. The aim of the present work is to remedy this omission and to analyze National Socialist celebrations regarding their relation to radio. The broadcasts were accepted by all stations and heard during community listening sessions. Thus one may conclude that the celebrations were not only to be experienced by the spectators present but by the population as a whole. From the beginning they were conceived as media celebrations. D. Dayan and E. Katz have coined the term “media events” for important, national or even worldwide events broadcasted live. Following this usage the National Socialist celebrations are called radio events in this work. I. Kershaw has shown to which extent Hitler’s role has been charismatic. This kind of domination presumes a personal relationship between the leader and the led. Although this was not actually practical during the Third Reich, the radio arrangement made it possible for the Germans to feel the “Führer” was speaking to them directly. Further radio events allowed those in power to display the unity of the people and the “Führer” and thereby to prove Hitler’s legitimacy. For both reasons one can claim that radio events were an important instrument to secure power. Radio events offered more than just an occasion to make the Volksgemeinschaft tangible. They contributed to the fact that the Volksgemeinschaft was experienced and understood not as an empty propaganda term, but rather as a political project worth supporting

Full textThis PhD is the result of 3 years of research on theater in the nazi camps. It deals mainly with the plays performed and written in the German camps, and three other camps: the Therensienstadt ghetto, the Westerbork transit camp, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Depending on the specificity of each camp, the creations were official or clandestine, and either served the nazi propaganda or contributed to the prisoners’ survival and resistance to national-socialism. Those differences in the living conditions enable us to understand why artistic creation was more prolific in some places. In those camps, male and female prisoners and deportees who did or did not belong to the world of show business, chose theater as a means to express themselves as early as August 1933 with the Cirkus Conzentrazani, and also after the war, with the Kazet theater or Zebra, two concentrationary theater troupes which performed plays in the camps during the days that followed the Liberation in 1945.This work explores the information contained in many interviews ( about 30 interviews which were conducted especially for this thesis), archives ( about twenty previously unpublished plays translated for this study), and private funds ( letters, manuscripts). We wish to attempt to draw a portrait of these theatrical creations, whether they were imagined, written, performed in the camps or on tour. The initiative the prisoners took was often so remote from our traditional conception of theater that it is delicate to talk about theatrical creation or even theater. We will focus on what happened, what was at stake and the posterity of these initiatives created in an extreme environment which questions the very possibility of doing theater but also man’s survival. It was an extreme experience which should never have been
Die Vorliegende Doktorarbeit ist das Ergebnis dreijähriger Forschung über das Theater in den Konzentrationslagern des Zweiten Weltkriegs.Dabei geht es hier vor allem um Lager in Deutschland, mit drei Ausnahmen: dem Getto Theresienstadt, dem Durchgangslager Westerbork und dem Lager Auschwitz-Birkenau. Je nach Besonderheit des jeweiligen Lagers fand das künstlerische Schaffen offiziell oder im Verborgenen statt, diente der Nazipropaganda oder trug ganz im Gegenteil zum Kampf gegen den Nationalsozialismus oder zum Überleben der Gefangenen bei. Aufgrund dieser unterschiedlichen Bedingungen versteht man, warum das künstlerische Schaffen an manchen Orten ergiebiger war, an anderen sehr viel sporadischer stattfand. Die Gefangenen und Deportierten, Männer und Frauen, unabhängig davon, ob sie aus der Welt der darstellenden Künste kamen oder nicht, machten in den Lagern Theater, um sich zu äußern, von der Vorstellung 'Cirkus Conzentrazani' im August 1933 an bis zum 'Kazet Theater oder Zebra', zwei KZ-Theatertruppen, die 1945 nach der Befreiung im Lager Stücke aufführten. Die Arbeit stützt sich auf zahlreiche Zeugenaussagen (aus etwa dreißig speziell für diese Doktorarbeit geführten Interviews), auf Archivdokumente (ungefähr 20 unveröffentlichte und für diese Doktorarbeit übersetzte Stücke) und private Bestände (Korrespondenz und Manuskripte). Die vorliegende Arbeit möchte ein Bild von diesen Theaterproduktionen zeichnen, ob sie nur ausgedacht, schriftlich fixiert oder gespielt worden waren oder als solche auf Tournee gingen. Vom satirischen Kabarett bis hin zur ätzend-scharfen Revue über Neuinterpretationen von Klassikern oder autobiographische Stücke haben die in den Lagern schaffenden Künstler in vielen Stilrichtungen gearbeitet. Manchmal war das Unterfangen so weit von unseren klassischen Vorstellungen von Theater entfernt, dass es schwierig ist, von Theaterschaffen oder überhaupt von Theater zu reden. In Verbindung mit Lager hat sich das Theater neu erfunden. Das Hauptaugenmerk dieser Arbeit richtet sich auf die Fakten, Probleme und Nachwirkungen dieser Unternehmungen, die in einem extremen Umfeld entstanden sind, das die Möglichkeit von Theater überhaupt, aber auch das Überleben von Menschen generell in Frage stellt. Unternehmungen in einer unglaublichen Extremsituation. Warum sind Menschen in einem Lager schöpferisch tätig – wie und für wen?

Full textThe present study aims at observing the form or forms taken by a political theatre in France and Germany in the period between 1995 and 2015. At stake is an evaluation of the aesthetic strategies developed by artists so as to renew the ways of representing politics in the theatre when the ideological and theoretical structures which, until then, underpinned this dimension seem to have collapsed. The title’s quote of the German academic Hans-Thies Lehmann’s paradoxical assertion: an “interruption of politics in the contemporary political theatre” introduces and defines the limits of the domain under scrutiny. Is the illusory and rhetorical interruption of politics in the artists’ discourse to be understood as the end for the theme or, on the contrary, as a momentary suspension of its categories aiming at working around the post-modern situation of political aporia ? We propose to address the question by means of a transversal analysis of different artistic discourses. In the notion of discourse we intend to include the plays as well as meta-artistic declarations and interviews. This method aims at overcoming the apparent oppositions in order to find a way to take into account the complexities and contradictions of the problem. These oppositions often take the form, in the artists’ words, of a refusal to be affiliated to a historical political theatre whereas, paradoxically, the plays prolong and rejuvenate the aesthetic conventions of this theatre

Full textThis study concerns itself with the origins of the opera as an art form in the german language in the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. It was in Hamburg where the first german permanent theater opened its doors in 1678. This opera was called "Gänsemarktoper ". The theater was performing successfully for 60 years (1678-1738), while all the other operatic projects undertaken before in Germany by territorial princes or music-loving bourgeois ended up in failure. This theater where 250 works were represented in the vernacular language and where the vast majority of the librettists and composers were local can be considered to be the first " national opera " and the final achievement of the musical and literary style of baroque. The artists here laid down the foundations of an original dramaturgic opera repertoire and also tried to define a specific german aesthetic opera, which was emancipated from french dramaturgic rules and at the same time also from italian melodramatic repertoire

Full textOur work compares the French productions of Thomas Bernhard’s plays with the German and Austrian ones, from 1970, marking the first success of the Austrian playwright, to this day. The chosen method is at the crossroads of German Studies and Theater Studies.Stage director Claus Peymann has staged most of the first productions of Thomas Bernhard’s plays. His productions are very faithful to the text. In France, the stage directors have a more original interpretation of the text. Thomas Bernhard writes his plays for specific actors. Minetti is for a tribute to the German actor Bernhard Minetti. The play, performed by French actors, is to be understood as a challenge for actors and as a reflection about dramatic art. The Austrian playwright also writes in accordance with the political context. Heldenplatz was first played 1988 at the Burgtheater in Vienna, for the 50th anniversary of the annexation of Austria. The play and its reception in Austria serves as a model for the reception in France, which can lead to a misunderstanding. The attacks against Austria do not have the same meaning any more, when they are played in France. Thomas Bernhard is often considered as a gloomy author. Theatre, in which comedy plays a bigger part than in novels, puts this reputation into perspective. However, this comic and grotesque dimension is not always perceived by the French audience. The comic dimension of Thomas Bernhard’s work is difficult to translate. The French audience therefore discovers this comic dimension of Thomas Bernhard’s plays only much later, in the 1990’s and 2000’s, when the reception scheme of Heldenplatz tends to fade away

Full textMy thesis bears on the utopia of the New Man, which is supposed to be a remedy to the crisis of the modern man at the end of the 19th century. It also bears on the different conceptions of the social ties by means of which the individual is attached to the community ; it explores these conceptions in two domains of expression : theater and dance, whose diverse manifestations in the field of the French and German arts of expression reflect a large spectrum of esthetic, moral, ideological and political significances. Those manifestations reveal the profound cultural mutations of the years 1880-1920. In a time of great political and intellectual effervescence related to the particular moment of European history, artists and intellectuals incessantly evoke the neccessity of a radical change of the man and the world. It is in the arts of spectacle that this hope appears in its most vivid, but also in its most ambivalent : dramatists and choreographs have the tendency to replace to a properly revolutionary idea by the thematics of a spiritual conversion and redemption, that should reconcile the individual with herself and her community, as we can see, on both sides of the Rhin river, the works inspired by Wagner in the years 1880-1920. From the last pieces of Villiers de l’Isle-Adam to the mystical theater of Péladan and the pre-christian pieces of young Claudel, from the first choral stagings of Rudolf Laban to the parisian representations of the Russian and Swedish ballets, from the People’s Theater to the futurist scene and to the Bauhaus, the dream of a total work of art is indissociable from a manifold reflexion on the possibilities of an esthetic and religious renewal of decadent humanity

Full textFollowing a more general discussion of dramatic writing and the scenic acting in Germany during the 18th century, a new debate of decor, costumes, and theatrical effects appeared at the beginning of the 19th century and was mainly localized in Berlin, where two successive theatre directors A. W. Iffland (1796-1814) and K. V. Brühl (1815-28) attempted to reform scenic practises. This esthetic debate, even in 1816, appeared as a more concrete form of theatrical dispute in Berlin newspapers, allowing a larger diffusion of debate in the public arena. They were several participants including romantic writers, directors, intellectuals, and artists. The main goal of the Germans, construct a national theater of quality. Therefore, the directors made the choice of realism, historical truth and visual effects. They provoqued the opposing Romantics who acclaimed (inspired by the elizabethan stage) a sober non-historical decor, allowing the imagination to take flight. A consensus appeared rejecting the contrasting baroque esthetic proposed by the Italian decorators. Amongst pratical and theoretical propositions, certain ones (unity of show, respect for the spirit of the work) had already evoked in part the "mise-en-scène" that appeared toward the end of the 19th century. The debate itself was an important one. It introduced the problem of poor or rich, non-temporal or historical scenery, a problem that has traversed the history of theater up to present day

Full textThe theater of cruelty of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) participates in a liberation of artistic language over decisive meaning in the history of 20th century art. In this theater the actor is the starting point for a language of origins founded on breath and gesture, which promotes affective communication with the audience. The musical theater of Wolfgang Rihm (1952) takes it’s inspiration from this language via the themes of ritual, myth, and dream, all which bear a theater inherent to life. These themes are developed through a vocalization, which renders visible the corporeality of the singer through a deconstruction of language matter. Rihm exploits the phonic matter of language in the form of glossolalia, seeking different aspects of the scream as the primal element of language, employing breath as sonorous matter. This vocalization rejoins his instrumental approach, which uses sound drawn from timbre, rhythm and intensity without seeking to enclose it within a logical system. Integrated into the compositional process, the spacial arrangement of the musicians and the singers rejoins the concept of a living scenic space in Artaud’s theater. As Rihm’ s musical theater of cruelty progresses, it allows the sonoral matter inspired by Artaud to rewrite itself in a form of palimpsest

Full textFar from the mythic and fragmented image of Theatre of the oppressed, this study intends to bring to light the ongoing processes in the development of this praxis developed by the Brazilian director Augusto Boal. Systematically considered as both a theory (the poetics of the oppressed) and a practice, Theatre of the oppressed is comprehended in all its historicity. Drawing on a theoretical corpus as well as archives – including unpublished funds from the Parisian Theatre of the oppressedCentre – and interviews with practitioners who used to be members of the Parisian centre, these researches lead us to trace Theatre of the oppressed political and aesthetical history.Organised in chronological order, this study begins in Brazil during the 1930s, in order to discuss Augusto Boal’s artistic concerns – while he works as Teatro Arena’s director in São Paulo – focused on the search for a renewal of dramatic forms tied up with a political imperative: performing popular theatre, that is a theatre performed for Brazilian people. From this time, we attempt to uncover the early stages of a theoretical reflection but also the roots of some theatre techniques, thatconstituted the fertile ground for the further development of Theatre of the oppressed during the mid 1970s, while Boal is in exile.The rest of this study takes place in France, a country where Boal starts to become known in 1971 through the Nancy World Theatre Festival and the revue Travail théâtral. By the end of the 1970s, in Paris he starts the first permanent group of Theatre of the oppressed, whose mission is to spread this method. Progressively, this group will become more professional and institutionalised, and will finally find its place in the field of sociocultural intervention theatre, a place where this structure continues its activities until 1988, when it breaks out and leaves the door open for many companies spread throughout France, leaving the old centre whose theatre identity has been radically altered.The French history of Theatre of the oppressed is the story of a permanent dialogue between theatre, the activist and political fields and popular education. This is also the story of a collective gathered around the use of the same theatrical method over two decades, while the face of society is being deeply reshaped. Thus, this history is fraught with many contradictions, evolutions but also strong positions being held and reaffirmed. Our task is to bring them to light. From activist movements to urban policy, Theatre of the oppressed Centre’s path is nothing else but the path of a group in touch with its time. However, the Parisian structure grounded by Boal is at the core of the spread of Theatre of the oppressed techniques in the whole world. That’s why writing Theatre of the oppressed history in France is a way to modestly contribute to writing its world’s history, in which the Parisian centre represents a major step

Full textThis thesis focuses on collective theatrical practices in Germany in the 1960s/70s and at the beginning of the 21st century. Our particular interest is the spirit of the collective: the political ideas and aesthetic concepts that encourage theatre people to work collectively and to organize themselves as collectives. We assume that the spirit of the collective has developed in parallel with the changes in the world of work since the late 1960s as described, for example, in Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello's publication The New Spirit of Capitalism. While in the 1960s/70s, collectives were unanimously perceived as the theatrical way of anticipating socialism, the current discourse about theatre collectives is marked by a heterogenization of positions. While some see them as the vanguard of the neoliberal deregulation of the German-speaking theatre landscape, others see in the collective functioning a new form of the Political. In the 1960s/70s as well as today, collective theatre work is linked to specific aesthetic strategies, which raise the question of the interdependence between the mode of production and aesthetics. This thesis seeks to link reflection on the organizational and production practices with the aesthetic concepts of the theatre collectives. Based on a discourse analysis methodology, the thesis brings out the spirit of the collective specific to the 1960s/70s on the one hand and to the beginning of the 21st century on the other hand. Divided into two main parts, it exposes the lines of continuity as well as the ruptures between the two generations of theatre collectives
Diese Dissertationsschrift beschäftigt sich mit den Theaterkollektiven der 1960er/70er-Jahre und des 21. Jahrhunderts. Das besondere Interesse gilt dem Geist des Kollektivs, d.h. den politischen Vorstellungen und ästhetischen Konzepten, die der kollektiven Theaterarbeit zugrunde liegen. Wir gehen davon aus, dass sich der Geist des Kollektivs parallel zu den Veränderungen in der Arbeitswelt seit dem Ende der 1960er-Jahre entwickelt hat, wie sie beispielsweise Luc Boltanski und Eve Chiapello in Der Neue Geist des Kapitalismus beschreiben. Während die Theaterkollektive in den 1960er/70er-Jahren relativ einhellig als der theatrale Vorgriff sozialistischer Produktions- und Gesellschaftsstrukturen wahrgenommen wurden, ist der aktuelle Diskurs von einer Heterogenisierung der Positionen geprägt. Die heutigen Kollektive werden einerseits als die Avantgarde der neoliberalen Deregulierung der deutschsprachigen Theaterlandschaft angesehen, andererseits werden die kollektiven Arbeits- und Organisationsweisen als neue Ausdrucksformen des Politischen wahrgenommen. Sowohl in den 1960er/70er-Jahren als auch heute ist die kollektive Theaterarbeit mit spezifischen ästhetischen Strategien verknüpft, was die Frage nach der Interdependenz zwischen der Produktionsweise und den theatralen Ausdrucksmitteln aufwirft. Diese Dissertation bringt die Überlegungen zu den kollektiven Organisations- und Produktionspraktiken mit den ästhetischen Konzepten der Kollektive in Verbindung. Die Arbeit basiert auf einer diskursanalytischen Methodologie mittels derer der jeweilige Geist des Kollektivs herausgearbeitet wird, der für die Theaterkollektive der 1960er/70er-Jahre bzw. für die heutigen Kollektivformationen typisch ist. Sie gliedert sich in zwei Hauptteile und hebt, die beiden Kollektivgenerationen diachronisch untersuchend, die Kontinuitätslinien und Brüche hervor, die den neuen Geist des Kollektivs mit demjenigen der Vorgängergeneration verbinden
Maier-Schaeffer, Francine. "Heiner Müller et le "Lehrstück"." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040050.
Full textHeiner Müller’s dramatic work, a direct confrontation with the theory and practice of the "didactic play" of Brecht, is the contribution of a practician to the debate opened by the scholar Reiner Steinweg. The "fatzer-fragment" which shows the transition instituted by Brecht to the "lehrstück" is a pivot of Müller’s work. It contains the historical and political interrogations which show him to be close to the contemporary French philosophers, and the formal experimenting which places his work within the modern linguistic currents. The "cycle of essays", reflexion of the role of the Marxist writer and training, bears witness to the transition which he has also completed from a classical dramaturgy to the "lehrstück". His later work contradicts the protestations of the critics according to which he has abandoned the "lehrstück" for the fragment. By radical formal transformations, rejection of plot, use of collage and montage techniques, exploration of the unconscious, he tries out an original application of Brecht’s theory. Abandoning the "fundamental rule" which Steinweg made into the chief characteristic of the "lehrstück", but which has proved utopic in the current state of society, no longer giving priority to the notion of "agreement", he develops an aspect which has not been taken into account by the reception: the "focus of fear". Near to the theater of the cruelty of Artaud, his work gives a new definition of the "lehrstück " and of the "fragment"

Full textDisplaying contemporaneous events on the theatre stage does not necessarily need to involve mythological or historical transposition. Often neglected or even despised by theatre critics, the representation of contemporaneousness, however, offers a particularly fertile field of study when it comes to analysing how individuals reflect on their own existence in Time.During times of religious conflict in Europe, both Catholics and Protestants alike used the stage as a powerful vehicle to stir controversy; situated at the crossroads between multiple forms and influences, theatre can provide its public with a re-presentation of present time both entertaining and critical, designed to strengthen a community’s actual and intellectual unity. What is more, forms and functions of “topicality” on stage evolve and develop further as religious conflict shifts from the theological to the political battleground and hope for reconciliation is overshadowed by escalating armed conflicts.Whilst Protestant topical theatre finds numerous concurrent signs of the imminent end of the world, the topical theatre created and represented at the Catholic Valois court tries desperately to maintain the illusion of a Golden Age of concord; soon thereafter, however, an Age of Iron is acknowledged, in which theatre reflects the violence and bloodthirstiness of its time and calls on the audiences to take action. When the compromise of the edict of Nantes imposes peace and amnesty, this pragmatism is substituted by a drive towards memorialisation: performing the present on stage becomes a matter of remembrance, at a time when the Bourbon monarchy tries to turn the recent past into a legend

My research is based on the study of the intentions behind the artists' production of cultural objects in accordance with their interests and objectives, their social position as intellectuals, and their valuations, categorizations, and judgments, all of which limit and influence those cultural objects (on one hand, the bonds of national belonging that have always been a constant source of dispute in Argentina, and on the other rand, certain cultural objects central in literature and theatre and which were colonized by the republican elites in the earl y days of the formation of nation-states in latin america in service of the initial construction of nationhood), in hopes of persuading the greatest possible number of spectators that a rupture of social normalcy had occurred

Full textThe reception of Shakespeare in Germany between 1815 and 1850 has, until recently, attracted little sustained critical attention. Modern research on the poet-playwright's 19th century reception has thus far focused principally on its aesthetic and literary aspects before 1830. The present study aims to shed new ligth on the coexistence of several Shakespeares during the Vormärz period, i. E. Before the institutionalized German discourse on the Shakespeare - supported mainly by the newly founded Deutsche Shakespeare-Gesellschaft (1864) - determined the ways he entered German national consciousness. Between 1815 and 1850 debates on the dramatist continued to have a bearing on the fashioning of German national theatre and appearance of a "second" Shakespeare on the scene. But because of the political, and cultural divisions which characterize te Vormärz period, the traditional aesthetical discussions inherited from the 18th century were enriched with a new, more political dimension : the Vormärz saw Shakespeare's promotion from a literary authority to a more moral and ethical one that his supporters could use in the working out of a German national identity. The rising numbers of editions of his complete works, his presence in literary journals, almanacs, "galleries", anthologies of the time alongside the publication of the first critical monographs devoted entirely to his life and works attest the astonishing breadth of this cultural transfer. Moreover

Full textRather than a study in translation theory, this work is a history of the German poetical debate on French comedy in the XVIIIth century. It is based upon the French plays chosen by German translators and on a corpus of 137 prefaces that they wrote for the publication of their translations. The sheer number of translations (over 500 involving more than 120 playwrights in 1300 different editions) made it necessary to exercise selection. Particular attention is given to prefaced comedies; however, other works which were translated several times and also left their mark are considered too. Analysis is grounded on the theory of cultural transfer. In the first period (1694-1724), the translations of French comedies were mainly instrumental in legitimizing the comic genre. Over the second phase (1725-1759), German receivers gradually established a French cultural reference that was used as a model and basis in the creation of regular German comedy. French plays of the late period (17601799) were mostly translated in order to broaden the repertoires of theatres in the German-speaking area. However, if each of the [. . . ]

Full textThis thesis is about the history of the discipline of theatre studies in France and in the two Germanies, from 1945 to the early 2000s. It examines the historical and social conditions in order to understand its emergence and development. My main hypothesis is that the creation of this discipline happened at the intersection of the academic and theatrical fields, and at the crossroads of local, national and international logics. Unlike older disciplines, theatre studies avows a larger openness vis-a-vis logics external to the academic world, both in terms of training and job prospects. Participating perhaps in the contemporary challenges to “disciplinary order”, the history of this discipline must also be resituated within the broader metamorphosis of theatre and the university over the course of this period. Our approach relies on historical sociology, whose aim is to bring together methods from history and sociology in order to simultaneously think about events, institutional history, and structural analysis. Without abandoning the basis for comparison between France and the two Germanies, our methodology also draws heavily from histoire croisée, which allows us to broaden the scope of our analysis without accepting at face value the national framework of the discipline
Diese Dissertation behandelt die Geschichte der Disziplin der Theaterwissenschaft in Frankreich und im geteilten Deutschland, von 1945 bis zum Beginn der 2000er Jahre. Sie untersucht die historischen und sozialen Bedingungen, die es ermöglichen, ihre Entstehung und Entwicklung zu verstehen. Die zentrale Hypothese ist, dass die Konstituierung dieser Disziplin durch die Verbindung des akademischen und theatralischen Bereichs und dem Zusammenwirken lokaler, nationaler und internationaler Logiken ermöglicht wurde. Im Gegensatz zu älteren Disziplinen beansprucht die Theaterwissenschaft in der Tat eine größere Offenheit gegenüber Logiken außerhalb der akademischen Welt, sowohl in Bezug auf Ausbildung als auch auf Karrierewege. Die Geschichte dieser Disziplin, die wohl an der gegenwärtigen Krise der "Disziplinarordnung" teil hat, muss daher in die breiteren Metamorphosen des Theaters und der Universität in dieser Periode - insbesondere in ihre jeweiligen Internationalisierungen und Politisierungen - eingeordnet werden. Der Ansatz dieser Dissertation basiert auf der historischen Soziologie, die darauf abzielt, die Methoden der Geschichte und der Soziologie zu kombinieren, um Ereignisse, die Institutionengeschichte und die Strukturanalyse gleichermaßen zu berücksichtigen. Ohne die Prinzipien des Vergleichs zwischen Frankreich und den beiden deutschen Staaten aufzugeben, verdankt die Methodologie auch viel der histoire croisée, die es erlaubt, die Skalen der Analyse zu multiplizieren, ohne a priori den nationalen Rahmen der Theaterwissenschaft vorwegzunehmen

Full textThis thesis makes a study of the revival of theatrical life in germany after world war ii and the collapse of the nazi regime from two points of view : the nature of the repertory (das drama) and the apparatus of the theater (das theater). The first part describes the material, political as well as moral conditions of this revival in the context of the foreign occupation and the cold war. Major debates during that period of history (denazification, the return of exiled, the reeducation of the german people) are evoked in relation to the atrical scene. The second part is dedicated to the repertory which took roots in the exile of antinazi playwrights. There are five outstanding wawes in a group of authors in which variety can be found in the form as well as in the substance : wolf, bruckner, brecht, weisenborn, zuckmayer. In reference to five famous plays, this study focuses closely on the path which leads from the origininal intentions of the authors to the writing of the play as well as well as to the degrees of acceptance of this work - which vary according to the production, the places of performance and the audience. It is founded upon documents which, to this day, have not been quoted (dissertations, letters, critical material about theater published in newspapers in berlin and other cities. A third part lay stress on the foreign drama repertory and the authors that thanks to the armies of occupation - have been brought to the knowledge of an audience who could fancy novelties after a period of 12 years of autarky. Cultural policies in each of the occupied zones influence the choice of the authors, especially in the case of "political"subjects. In berlin, the four-zones-city, wilder, sartre and simonow sparked off passionate debates in the press as well as in the public opinion. The fourth part emphasizes the production of drama in the german language. It is indeniable that exists a new generation of young authors but, except for borchert, their literary art is rather traditional. Innovations come from "outside". This is the case for brecht who opposes a new langage of the drama and of the stage to the champions of naturalism. This is also the case for the young swiss authors frisch and durrenmatt who gave birth to a form of writing which is innovative and tainted with skepticism. They also renew styles by blending them - imaginary parable and historic farce among others

Full textTwo weeks after the VE-Day, a group of survivors performed a show in the displaced persons camp of Belsen singing and playing the life they endured in the sadly famous concentration camp nearby and the life before it all happened just as the future they wanted up to now. This theatre was the first of dozens of Jewish theatre groups to perform shows all over Germany in DP camps where refugees from the non-enemy nations and victims of the Holocaust were waiting in the hope of a next emigration to Palestine or the United States. They lived in camps opened by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), behind gates or even barbed-wires of the “assembly centers”, controlled by military forces. Opened in 1945, the last assembly center closed down no less than eleven years later. While waiting on the “cursed soil” of Germany, the Jewish DPs, unable orunwilling to work for or even in Germany, dedicated their time to perform and represent themselves, not only on the theatre, but also in sport events, bals, ritual plays and every imaginable kind of performance. This research focuses on the Jewish DPs temporary settled in West Germany and the way they built up a new life by performing the past and the next future in Eretz Israel. This work interrogates the possible significances of the performances in Yiddish just after the Holocaust and the way survivors dealt with their past in the present of the new camp. After 1948, the rate of the DPs in Germany progressively decreased, the cultural, artistic and politic experiences disappeared at the same time, therefore, this work ends up in 1952 and focuses mainly on the years 1945-1949

Full textThe comparison of drama schools in France (cours Florent and CNSAD, Paris) and in Germany (HfS "Ernst Busch", Berlin) makes it possible to understand the reactivation of the ideology of the gift or the rationalization of the know-how as dependent upon the relationship between schools and the labor market. The French schools 'expectancy of an unsteady theatrical labor market favours the predominance of recruitment during schooling and prevents the formalization of training by teachers. The idea of the innate nature of "talent" of students tends to be foregrounded. Contrastingly, for German studnets, the prospect of a more stabilized insertion into public theatres both fosters professional engagements after training and preserves the teaching staff's autonomy of evaluation. This professional recognition thus reaffirms the teachers' capacity to utilize theatrical texts both as detective evaluative instruments, as well as the meants to transmit theatrical skills

Full textThe number of theatrical forms based on documentary research has increased considerably in recent years in the German-speaking world. The works explored are complex, fragmented, often characterized by a porosity between reality and fiction. This study explores how current documentary performances are rooted in reality, especially when developing new forms of participation during creative processes. Although "documentary theatre" is part of a tradition in Germany, this expression is no longer appropriate to the diversity of current documentary practices and aesthetics. Indeed, the experience is now at the heart of these practices, which are based on social exchanges, investigation and long-term process. We highlight the emergence of journalistic aesthetics, the production of a new knowledge and the displacement of politics in theatre through today's documentary practices. A central aspect of the work is to observe the relationship between practices, production methods and dramaturgies in a corpus consisting of biographical accounts. The social and aesthetic transformations generated by these practices reinvent theatricality, interrogate history and presents shifting identities

Full textCarl Sternheim's drama (1878-1942) has long been considered as a satire of German bourgeoisie under Wilhelm II. In 1963, referring to the playwright himself, W. Emrich stated that this drama is “the very opposite of satire” and an incentive for everyone to bring out his/her own “nuance”. Since then, this major point has been much debated. This dissertation confronts those contradictory appreciations, through the analysis of seven plays written between 1910 and 1922 and studied together according to their themes, examining their genesis, their “schema actantiel” and the texts themselves. It also resorts to the analysis of staging practices presented in press reviews or to film adaptations. This dissertation concludes that these plays extol individualism – which has led to differing interpretations and to a frequent lack of understanding from the public; it nevertheless has a satirical dimension which is not directed at a social class in particular but at any stereotyped behaviour

Full textThe study undertaken here aims at analyzing the impact of contemporary reality on German drama in the 1990s (or last decade of the 20th century). The emergence of a new political, social and economic context caused by reunification called for a theatre that allows critical discourse on the radical changes throughout society. The fundamental question is thus whether writers of drama respond to these expectations and which aesthetic means are used. Can political theatre still be effectively used at times of general defiance towards the great theories of explaining the world ? The dramatic texts are examined both by investigating the influence of the socio-economic and political conditions- in particular within the German theatrical setting- at times of their publication as well as by looking at the textual autonomy in the sense of the double dimension that T. W. Adorno attributes to a piece of art. Through the examination of a representative number of dramatic productions of this period while discussing whether traditional definitions of the political theatre are still valid, it is possible to extort three critical positions within drama with regard to reality ; three modalities of the political dimension within dramatic literature. Drawing upon the tradition of the forms of realism, the first modality is denoted here as THEATRE DE MONSTRATION. The next one distinguishes itself learly through the integration of a historical dimension which dramatizes the personal experience of an individual deeply rooted in his historical context. Finally, a third form can be distinguished and is characterized by a far more radical notion of "reality" as well as the perception thereof which leads to questioning the traditional forms of dramatic texts

Full textThis thesis aims at identifying the practices of frontal acting in the European performances between the 1990’s and the 2000’s in order to define its challenges with regards to the staging, the acting, the actor’s presence on stage as well as in terms of spectator’s perception. Our analysis distinguishes three modes of frontal acting, by replacing each of them in its historical context. The first one is “interpellation” inherited from the Theatre performances at fairs and the Agit-Prop Theatre. In this case, frontal acting is considered as a medium for communication. The second mode, frontal acting takes a ceremonial dimension and becomes the basis of the theatrical moment in order to create, this time, an indirect relationship between actors and spectators. In its third mode, frontal acting exceeds the face-to-face between actors and spectators either thanks to the use of the video – creating media attention around the face-to-face – or thanks to the extension of frontal acting to the full stage. Finally, the use of frontal acting indicates the emergence of a new performance mode based on a reciprocity principle between the gesture of the director, the commitment of the actor, the performance and the spectator as an individual. Beyond the willingness to lead the spectator to a critical thought processor to a fusional participation, frontal acting invites to question his distant position and his external passivity

Full textMüller's texts, like those of Arthaud or of Bretch in Lehrstücke, are part of a literature an "exceptional state" and can consequently be read as a literary statiology and hantology. We know that if stasis means 'at rest, position, stop (status), stasis means first of ail, for us from now on, movement (kinesis), stirring, revolt and civil war. Civil war rages in Müller's texts and theater (killings, destruction, dilapidation, reevaluation of literary heritage. . . ). I am borrowing the concept of hantology from Jacques Derrida, but give it a limited definition in order to point out the insistence on the trace, the return and the presence of specters and ghosts from the past that inhabit Müller's theater, in his "dialogue with the dead". The revolution is an explanation of the past and with the enemies of the revolution. Appeasement and reconciliation belong to a literature of every day situations, without enemies; a literature of consensus that Müller shakes to its foundation by fragmenting the narrative, by amplifying it, by resorting to the "work" of the dream, by pointing it towards terror, towards a theater of dismembered bodies (disjecta membra). Tragic pitted against dialectic and, as Nietzsche wrote about Wagner: we were hoping for a Greek and found ourselves before a German

Leaders of the Anglo-Saxon powers justified their support of the Reich by public opinions. Historians have said that the latters were deluded about German issues, but what were those illusions and where do they came from ? This comparison of British, American and French newspapers shows that they were not only made from wrong assessments of objective realities, but also from hidden facts or inventions, even a media war serving to justify some financial and political choices. The fast dissemination of the same inventions on both sides of the Atlantic also suggest the existence of priviledged channels of « opinion fabrics » from Germany, to and between Britain and the United States.

Full textThe German Enlightenment comedy has often been labeled as theatre " a la francaise ", or Frenchlike; the present work aims at studying these comedies under the perspective of cultural transfers, in order to measure the extent of the French influence over the German production. First it evaluates the actual presence of French comedy in Germany, from a theoretical and practical point of view. The second part is devoted to originality and comparative analysis of drama. We then turn to satirical themes, so as to underline their links to the French tradition of comedy as well as their specificity. Last, since France at that time was also a role-model in civility, and comedy a " school of good manners ", we concentrate on this aspect, which is so central to German national identity. These analyses qualify the reception of the French model, which is revealing of the complexity of Franco-German relationships

Thesis, Paris 10, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA100076.
Full textThis thesis tackles the critic of the “Society of the Spectacle” (concept brought by the Guy Debord’s eponymous essay) performed in experimental theater works and the performance scenes during the 2000s in Berlin, London and Paris. The studied theater pieces borrow cultural references to the mass media, often considered as machines to alienate the public. The corpus includes authors as well as stage directors and collectives: Martin Crimp, David Alaya, Joël Jouanneau, Falk Richter, René Pollesch, Tom Khünel, Katie Mitchell, the Collective MxM (Cyril Teste), Forced Entertainment (Tim Etchells), Gob Squad and Superamas.The multidisciplinary approach deals with both the dramaturgy aspects and the sociological patterns of representation. One the one hand, this work studies the network structure in which the artists meet each others and collaborate. On the other hand, we investigate the various stage elements, among which cameras and screens take an major part, as well as the actors’ corporeality as well as the spectators’ ways of perception, among others, by the mean of a survey. By trans-contextualizing their sources, the artists create a gap and increase the distance with them using several techniques: literal incorporation, quotation, parody and pastiche, but also irony and cool fun tone.The critical dimension of these works is not straight forward, and often not even claimed. Far from rejecting it as a whole, the authors and actors are fond of the mass media culture’s objects. In order to set in motion their critical function, they place themselves at the heart of the “Society of the Spectacle” and the Zeitgeist. Thus, such a critic has moved from an external point of view to an internal one. Their approach, mixing seriousness and fun, indicates a will not to separate themselves from the spectators to whom they want to set on equal footing in order to make the dialogue and sometimes the interaction possible

Full textThis study of the stage work of three German directors wishes to throw light on the functioning of stage languages that seek emancipation from the dramatic text and incursion of other art forms. The concept of “theatrality” will be used to bring out the specific aesthetic logic of these post-dramatic productions in which the role of the spectator has become absolutely central. The concept of “intermediality” will allow us to assess how these works feed on interactions between all types of “media”, whether this includes reworking ancestral processes (like Einar Schleef’s use of the chorus), incorporating audiovisual media at various degrees (like film and video in Frank Castorf’s work) or the interweaving of several artistic practices (for example Heiner Goebbels’ merging of theatre and music)
