Lochert, Véronique. "L'écriture du spectacle : formes et fonctions des didascalies dans le théâtre européen des XVIe et XVIIe siècles." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040201.
Full textThis study investigates the modes of writing and reading performance in the dramatic text through the forms and functions of stage directions and through their variations in France, Italy, Spain and England, from the sixteenth to the seventeenth century. It analyses the development of a specific notation of performance in the practices of playwrights, actors and editors, which are brought into light by the theory of theatre. Stage direction is approached in its double function, serving both performance and reading, in relation with style and typography which ensure its efficiency for actors as well as for readers. Whether redundant or complementary, stage direction plays an essential role in the economy of dramatic dialogue and the diversity of its uses in Europe reveals the status of dramatic text in the different national aesthetics

Full textThe first part of this study deals with the genesis of the syrian-libanese theatre. The first theatrical work written and played in arabic, largely influenced by moliere and italian farce, is that of marun al-naqqach. The syrian libanese theatre reached its climax in egypt through the works of salim al-naq qach, qabbani and qirdahi. Our study extends from the first religious presentations until the appearance of the first written arabic play which is a product of arabic islamic heritage, modern arabic renaissance and western drama. The second part of our study deals with foreign influences mostly french, like racine, corneille, moliere and hugo who were the major source of inspiration for syrian-libanese dramatists. These dramatists relied on the greek-roman and spannish histories for their subjects. The work of qabbin and its influences are presented in a separate chapter. And the problem of translation and production of technical terms and words are also studied in detail
Louvat-Molozay, Bénédicte. "Poétique de l'introduction musicale : le statut de la musique dans le théâtre français entre 1550 et 1680." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040400.
Full textThis dissertation aims at articulating a theoretical reflection on the status of music in French theatre with an analysis of the practices of musical insertion in drama from the renaissance to the creation of the Comédie-Francaise. Because it depends on the definition of theatre as a spectacle and concerns all dramatic genres, the question of music is marginalized by the theoreticians. The second part of this study propounds therefore a poetics of musical introduction in relation to a poetics of the dramatic genres : in the renaissance and throughout the first third of the seventeenth century, the presence of music in humanist tragedies, protestant drama and dramatic pastorals is linked to the conception of a lyrical theatre, which postulates a kind of union between theatre and poetry. From the 1630s, music is submitted to the requirements of action. The second half of the seventeenth century is then characterized by a reflection on the conditions of possibility for a theatre in music to exist, and by a resistance to the Italian model: against it, the “tragédie à machines” and the “comédie-ballet” offer a model of total spectacle, which favors alternation over simultaneity. The dramatic pastoral evolves towards an operatic pastoral, while sacred drama and the comedy remain faithful to the pattern of theatre with music
Triau, Christophe. "Dramaturgies du monologue dans le théâtre du XVIIe siècle." Paris 10, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA100097.
Full textThis study is about the status and the dramaturgical uses of the monologue in French seventeenth century theatre, from 1616 to 1677. It first analyses its numerical evolution, how theory talks about it, and its specificities on the stage (performance, metadramaticity). It studies it through the works of Racan, Viau, Corneille (from Mélite to Rodogune), Molière and Racine (and, sometimes : Mainfray, Mairet, Rotrou). The monologue appears as a problematical element of the dramatic mimesis, a base of the game on the internal points of view and their contradictions : in the pastoral defile, by constructing singular commentaries of the comic fiction, or inside the tragic perspective it makes more complex ; it also appears as a privileged way of the exposition of the persona, and, so, of the relation the audience can build with her, wether it “imposes” her in a tautological and hyperbolic way or, in these times of split between public and particulier, it plays with making her uncertain

Full textThis thesis considers the meaning and scope of idolatry in the french and english polemics against the stage in the 16th and 17th centuries. Because the condemnations of the early Church Fathers were aimed at spectacles closely related to pagan worship, the argument of idolatry is discussed in debates on the status of these authorities in the modern controversy. It questions the evolution of the stage and the possibility of its "conversion" to Christianity. Idolatry also supports the assimilation of the theatre to a "devil's church", as it has been understood as a deviation of divine worship to its benefit. It echoes the religious controversies of the time: the Puritan or Calvinist association of theatre and papism, as well as the Augustinian condemnation of passions, find in the idea of idolatry a significant rhetorical motif. Articulating discourse analysis and the history of ideas, this study follows the ramifications of a grievance that combines the Platonic disqualification of illusion with the Biblical condemnation of vanity. It illustrates the propensity of polemics to redirect arguments that it seems to repeat. An examination of plays that stage idolatry (whether amorous or religious) also shows the dramatic interest of this theme, whereby theatre can face the attacks launched toward it

Full textThe taste for tears and the ethics of sensibility deeply influence the theatrical practice and theory of the Enlightenment. An original dramatic model elaborates itself from the efficiency of pathos considered as a sentimental adhesion. The analysis of theoretical texts allows a description of this homogenous and coherent system's constitutive elements. The disruptions induced in the dramatic thought by the pathetic expectations are considered first : the promotion of the effect to the rank of a decisive criterion of value, the change from a pœtics of beauty to an aesthetics of pleasure, the effects of the lacrymomania on the genres. Then, the examination of dramatic texts sheds light on the emergence of a rhetoric and a dramaturgy spécifique to the pathos. Finally, the beholder's viewpoint is analysed and the pathetic experience considered, in order to understand how the drama gets integrated into the philosophical system of the Enlightenmnent

Full textThe 18th century historiography of French theatre opens with a series of ecclesiastical works which make this history an instrument against dance and theatre, though there are some sharp retorts. Beginning in 1730 several theatre histories appear. Authors such as Brumoy, Riccoboni, Maupoint and Beauchamps, who are mainly not scholars but often have ties to professionnal theatre, engage in research in both public and private libraries, using collections of wealthy theatre lovers as well as the medium of press and the erudition of private individuals. Fontenelle had opened the door with his History of French Theatre which served as a beacon for its sources, framework, literary style and above all his intelligent reading of the past, whitch ruptured the thread of those publications that were either for or against the theatre. Empowered, our historians organize their material according to known models : Renaissance bibliographies give them the matrix for lists of authors of plays. Previously unseen original material as well as extracts and analyses are published. They create a virtual history of drama and theatre. This history offers them a new space where they can reflect on cultural relevance regarding the relationship of dominant moral and religious values. The essays of academicians accompany this mouvement. Their disciples are journalists, encyclopaedists or 'literay bohemians'. Publications of almanachs and dictionaries which chronicle the history of the times multiply, amassing materiel that will be left to succeeding generations to sort out. Solicited by the misomimes, they invest their energy in reforming a theatre which for them is an engrossing utopia , a place where they sometimes display astonishing ingenuity. They are called Mouhy, Du Coudray, Rétif or Nougaret. With the passing of the century, Suard returns to Fontenelle's History of French Theatre, paving the way for Sainte-Beuve
Gutierrez, Laffond Aurore. "Théâtre et magie dans la littérature dramatique du XVIIè siècle." Toulouse 2, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998TOU20067.
Full textThe purpose of this study, "theatre and magic in the dramatic literature of the 17th century" is to show how and why the theatre of that century reflected the different forms of the irrational. It is meant to shed light on a subject often left in the shade, perhaps on account of the prevailing image of French classicism yearning for order, reason and clarity. Pre-scientific thinking in the early 17th century remained indeed highly dependent on the learned magic of the renaissance. Kepler and Galilee were as many astrologers as astronomers and the passing of a comet, seriously interpreted as an ill-fated foreboding still in 1680, spread terror among the population. Medicine was still astrophile and influenced by Paracelsus's theory of marks. The most enlightened minds remained under the spell of the marvelous, kept alive and renewed by emblematic. Royal mystic under Louis XIV took on a magic dimension, magnified by the solar emblem. Awe of the devil and of woman assumed the form of witch hunting until after 1650 through the affairs of possession of Loudun, Louviers, and Aix. . . Etc. The Affair of the Poisons in 1679 was also a resurgence of the magic spells and black masses. The first part of the study analyses the reality of this magic. How this magic mentality was depicted varied with the literary genres. Such serious genres as tragedy, musical tragedy and to a lesser extent tragi-comedy - in the second part of the study - reveal the constant fascination of the 17th century for the magic marvelous, both veiled and sublimated by myths. Armida's gardens were the symbol of the dream of love just as the destruction of the enchanted palace was the symbol of its impossibility. Magic in comedy, developed in the third part, reflects more directly the reality of magic and of its avatar, witchcraft. The theme showed a great variety of registers in the pre-Moliere productions, in pastorals, tragi-comedies and comedies. Sometimes a lofty poetry is inspired by the baroque themes of the illusion, of the mirror, of the metamorphosis of the self and of the world, of the dead-alive, while the theme of the devil, the witch and the satire played upon the whole spectrum of laughter. From Moliere onwards comedy stressed the denunciation of imposture previously initiated with a determination that testified to the long-lasting survival of superstition and the ancient magic mentality

Full textIn the Elizabethan period, the image of the labyrinth was being re-appropriated in several ways, all based on an ideal first championed by Horace : discordia concors. Throughout Antiquity, the story related to Theseus and the Minotaur had been retold many times, by authors such as Pliny, Ovid, Plutarch, whose texts were to be digested by translators. Renaissance England could boast, too, of an impressive medieval heritage, which favoured the didactic transmission of the myth : the influence of clerical writings linked to the idea of the unicursal maze, one way leading to God, contributed to the popularization of the legend. Gradually, the symbol was secularized during the sixteenth century. Although mythic multicursal paths proliferated in gardens, representations, danse and poetry, they reached their climax on stage. As an obsessional motif, the labyrinth is a hermeneutic key revealing new interpretative tracks exploring a multisemic theatre, whose possibilities remain to be exploited

Full textBetween the years 1885 and 1950, cuzco city (peru) saw the flowering of a theatre in quechua language, developed by the local dominant social class. This literature, almost unpublished, with a mostly incaic thematic, has never been studied and we try first to rebuild a story of the performances. Then, we contemplate what, in their social and ideological context, favoured their birth, development and decline, and that we have to take into account to understand the texts themselves : sociolinguistic composition of the cuzquenian society of cvtime, economic expansion of the local dominant social class, their keen regionalism in facing limenian oligarchic power, incaist identity affirmation legitimating their aspirations, notions about culture, language anbd society etc. . . This theatre inherits from a creaole linguistic and poetic tradition which goes b2ck tot he xvie century and wghose traces can be followed through a specific vocabulary and poetic characteristics that we analyse. An anthology of quechua texts with translation takes up about half of this volume

Full textThe myth of Troy provided more subject matter to 16th and 17th century French playwrights than any other ancient fable. The exceptional scope of this legend, the multitude of its scenes and characters, and the variety of available themes and viewpoints can partly explain this phenomenon. Yet this study seeks to demonstrate how the Trojan myth, through its unique legacy and structure, served as a model for exploring the problematics of an era marked by massive political and cultural transformation : the second half of the 16th century saw the birth of both the modern State and the modern theatre. Throughout the 150-year period which followed this simultaneous development, the use of the Trojan theme in different dramatic contexts can be understood in the light of the progression of aesthetic, political, ethical and theological ideas that accompanied the cultural transition at hand
Losada-Goya, José-Manuel. "La conception de l'honneur dans le théâtre espagnol et français du XVIIe siècle." Paris 4, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA040089.
Full textIn the first scholarly part of this work, the author expounds the main characteristics of seventeenth century Spanish comedy and deals with the vicissitudes of its adaptation to the French scene at the time. This finer investigation will later on enable the author to tackle the four ways in which honor is considered in those plays, namely as reputation, as virtue, as lineage, as purity of blood. In the last part of his work, Mr Losada Goya studies the loss and recovery of one's honor: the consequences of losing it, the various ways of recovering it ranging from reasonable accommodation to bloody revenge. This thesis which includes forty-two corresponding Spanish and French plays uses a comparative literature approach, the author thus pointing out the main resemblances and differences in the way honor is seen and treated in seventeenth century Spanish and French theatre
Ntantinakis, Konstantinos. "Femmes et pouvoir dans le théâtre tragique crétois (1590-1647)." Paris 3, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA030020.
Full textThe Cretan Theatre (1590-1647) is the only theatre existing in Crete following the ancient classic theatre and is also the only theatrical sign in the Greek Renaissance. The question "Women and authority" in the tragic plays (Erophile and Delivered Jerusalem of G. Chortatzis, The Abraham's sacrifice of anonymous author, Rodolinos of I. A. TroÔlos) presents a great interest on women's situation in Crete, during that period, facing the multiple sides of authority. Despite the universality of that theatre and its influences from the Italian theatre, women's characters are absolutely Greek and they also bring the echo of a forgotten world, the matriarchal period. The rhetoric of women's characters doesn't only lead the reader into the mere problem of love but also into a sociopolitical problem: the heroines allow the authors to personify ideas that they cherish, in a serious historical reality, under the Venetian occupation and the Turkish threat. The heroines' exhortations against the varied machinery of the power they suffer from reflect the soul of a people without hope under the burden of a tyrannical power

Full text“Let's place our selues within the Curtaines, / for good faith the Stage is so very little we shall wrong / the generall eye els very much”. John Marston's stage directions for his play What you Will stresses that the Renaissance playing space is hardly thought about without curtains as material landmarks. Yet, this prop is constantly denied its existence and its impact on the Shakespearean stage. . . Despite textual evidence as the murder of Polonius behind the arras in Hamlet, there are still doubts about the role of curtains in Renaissance scenography. The purpose of this study is not only to reassert the existence of curtains thanks to archaeological data but to assess the impact of the material culture on the writing and the performance of dramatic texts. Since the Middle Ages, acting troupes have used a varied amount of cloths, tapestries and veils on stage. Those props are keys to the scenographical consciousness of the 16th and 17th centuries playwrights and actors. We will consider the flexibility and the complexity of the theatrical space and practices through an object belonging to both the domestic and the dramatic worlds

Full textMy thesis deals with two topics : philosophical aesthetics and the debates concerning the legitimacy of theater in 17th-century france and england. My goal is to provide an empirical evaluation of some of the main tenets of aesthetic autonomy, and to develop a genuinely pragmatic approach to theater. To that end, i contrast aspects of the history of drama to a particular philosophical aesthetics, namely the neo-kantian tradition that insists on the autonomy of art. My claim is that this tradition's universalistic theses concerning the non-referential nature of literature, the disinterested nature of aesthetic conventions and rules, are flatly contradicted by the documents that make up the "querelles du theatre". The conclusion to be drawn, then, is that we should not accept the claims typically made for the descriptive validity of the doctrine of aesthetic autonomy
Sabatier, Armelle. "Mort et résurrection dans le théâtre élisabéthain et jacobéen." Paris 10, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA100153.
Full textResurrection lies at the heart of Christianity – it epitomizes the triumph over death and symbolizes the hope for eternal life. Despite underlying changes, the varied representations of death and resurrection are imbued with medieval patterns in early modern England. Elizabethan and Jacobean drama integrates the different funerary codes. Drama is also aware of its power of resurrection in so far as it brings the past back to life. Before the final reunion of the body and soul, resurrection is linked to death. English Renaissance drama explores all the aspects of the first resurrection and questions the meaning of all the rituals celebrating the passage from life to death and preserving memory. Apparent death and false resurrections become a comical pattern in Jacobean comedies. The return to life in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale praises the dramatist's divine gift

Full textAny approach of French drama in the 1630s, whatever the angle, inevitably focuses on key dramatic and theatrical features, such as the blurred and constantly changing frontiers between genres, the surprisingly similar themes, the relatively stable basic structures, the mixture of styles and registers, or the rather stereotyped language patterns reflecting a style typical of the times. Our subject centres on the blurring of dramatic genres and therefore the often arbitrary definition of what a given 'genre' entails in this context. The lack of any clear differentiation between genres in the early 1630s was conducive to cross-fertilisation at many different levels, including thematic elements, technical processes and dramatic discourse. The basic concept of cross-fertilisation is used to describe the network of relationships developing between genres, which was generally based on more than purely mechanical interaction. The key aim of this work is to identify the main defining elements of the three genres current at the time, i. E. Tragi-comedy, comedy and pastoral drama, to analyse their underlying dramatic mechanisms and to study the effects of cross-fertilisation between these genres

Full textThe resounding success of chivalric drama in German-speaking countries at the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth has not secured for this "genre" the attention it deserves from researchers. Based on better quantitative survey of this dramatic from and a broader corpus of references, the present study invalidates the theses founded on fragmentary material. This phenomenon, as the point of convergence of questions of aesthetics and of historical and political realities, is reinserted in the German theatre at a moment which coincides with the awakening of a Germanic identity, the acceptance of Shakespeare and aesthetic conflicts. The analysis of the concept of patriotism, which is inseparable from the idea of a "national theatre", clarifies the point of view transmitted by these plays as regards the life of the city and the established powers and gives the "genre" its place in the debate concerning the image of foreigners and the contrasting effects of stereotypes. The metamorphosis of this theatrical vein, once revealed, rejects the positions considered acceptable until now. The dispute concerning levels of

Full textThis dissertation presents a comparative study of the French and Spanish seventeenth century hagiographic drama. The first part is devoted to the theoretical problems raised by the two genres : a study of the generic terminologies, of the places where the plays were staged, and of the way their contemporaries (theorists and playwrights) considered them thus allows us to draw the outline of an essentially hybrid theatre. Indeed, in the two countries, it seems contradictory to associate a saint's life and a theatrical form. The second part presents a dramatic analysis of the plays. We show how the authors managed to integrate the figure of the saint in a real dramatic plot despite his passionless nature. The structures of the dramas rely on a conflict between the saint and his circle, on a conversion of the hero himself, or on a series of adventures through which the saint becomes an epic hero. This part reveals that the theatrical forms created by the French and the Spanish authors are less divergent than the traditional opposition between Spanish and French aesthetics of this period suggests. Finally, the third part deals with the spectacle of saintliness. We study how the playwrights succeeded in transforming the inward and unspectacular character of the saint into a living spectacle before the other characters' eyes. Being a perfect character, this specific hero cannot arouse the fear and pity Aristotle described and generates instead works in which admiration is the prominent aesthetic effect. These works thus rely on specific poetics which this dissertation attempts to define

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 textHaving as a context the French drama of the seventeenth century, significant period for modern French, we aim to analyse the general aspect presented by the negative utterance at a specific moment of its evolution, in a perspective rather descriptive than theoretical. Special emphasis is given to the signs used by classical French for negation purposes and to their progressive combination into a system validated, to a large extent, by the current usage even after that period : from the compound morphemes (type : ne pas / point / ), the pre-eminence of which is generally confirmed at every language register, to the simple adverbs (type : ne, non, ), to which classical French still reserves a large variety of functions. The analysis, in an additional basis, of the integration of negation into the different processes which determine discourse, reveals the various possibilities of its exploitation in assertive or non-assertive contexts

Full textThe mythic image of the triple goddess, Diana, a huntress on earth, Hecate in Hell and Phœbe / Cynthia in heaven, derives from classical and medieval commentaries. In the XVIth century, the allusions to chaste Diana (related to other hunters such as Actaeon or Hippolytus, to her opponent Venus, and also to Endymion) undergo poetic metamorphoses which unveil how the mythical scenario can be changed by the use of structures: parallelisms or oppositions, additions to, shortening or interchangeability of mythic motifs. How does intergeneric refashioning of the myth (transvestitio) intervene in poems, drama, mythography, emblems and political celebrations of Elizabeth I? These uses point to mythological creation and to the working of how the legendary allusion is woven into dramatic and performance text. Linking several levels of the performance, Diana's Body, enticing but forbidden, brings into question human passion for desire, power and knowledge while embodying the quest for an ideal

Full textThe evolution of drama in England in the 16th century is linked to the social, political and religious evolution. Drama evolves from well-established forms and structures. Under the influence of classical drama, the French farce and Italian comedy, it integrates new elements, but also retains the essential components of its own native traditions, adapting them to the new modes and conditions of performance met by the adult professional actors and the children's troupes. The use of the vernacular and the constant presence of music with well-defined functions are permanent aspects of this drama. Through established patterns and conventions, the musical element is closely linked to the structure and themes of the plays. It is analyzed here in its context throughout the repertoire of adult and children's troupes. The concept of a distortion and misappropriation of celestial harmony by the vices of the moral plays constitutes a basic element in the use and function of music, and in particular some forms of songs often associated with servants, pages, and in general low characters in pre-shakespearean court comedies

Full textDuring the 1760’s years, new small theatres are setting up on the “boulevard du Temple” in Paris, in competition with the three official theatres of the Capital: the Opéra, the Comédie-Française and the Comédie-Italienne. Their institutionalization during the Revolution brings about their proliferation but also implies a new conception of the theatre, which is not anymore a subsidized art in the service of the King, but a real company which intend to survive by making profits, trying to attract more and more audience. This thesis first intends to analyse the performances in their totality and to understand how were created success plays or star actors embodying theatrical characters. It tries to understand the theatre of this period as a society phenomenon inferring new modes of creation focused on the audience’s reception. This study is centred on laughter, as a supposed effect of the theatrical comic but also as an effective audience’s demonstration during performances, attesting the success of dramas performed in these theatres and revealing, by its diverse meanings and its evolution, tense relations between theatres, intellectual elite, moral and political authorities, during a period of major historic upheaval. Beyond, this work aims at revalue a whole piece of a neglected funny theatrical heritage at the end of the eighteenth century, that nonetheless could boast important comedy writers, plays and actors

Full textPresenting french prose theater in Naples between 1860 an 1900 involves not only illstrating the specific traits of the italian mania for all things french, the prestige of french literature in the world and the dramatic arts in that historic period, but also to place these phenomena in the historical, political, sociological and cultural context of a country which had experienced the fall of the Bourbon Kingdom of Laples before proceeding with its own unification and the slow process of modernization. Naples transformed itself from being the capital of a kingdom to being a regional capital, but il neverless could boast of the largest number of theaters on the peninsula, while its dialect theater was independent and parallel with respect to the international circuit. Research for information regarding french works performed in the 40-year period was conducted in sources such as archives, newspapers, magazines and posters, which were compared to information found in a vast bibliography, allowing for the verification of dates through a dua historical-textual approach. The objective of this research, which provides an overall view, is to uncover and explore the true dimensions of the french colonization of theater in Naples and to provide an analytical repertoire of authors and works that were popular with audiences and critics for different reasons. Among the widespread prejudice and little-known details, it has been possible to evaluate the effective influence and the importance of thse theatrical works, vaudeville shows and dramatic pieces overall, on the dramatic evolution of italian theater in general and on napolitan theater in particular

Full textBetween 1800 and 1822, an ensemble of major political events appreciably upset the history of Portugal. While studying the theatre of this period, we have sought to unravel the principal lines of the most appreciated kinds. More than seven hundred plays presented to the public, has never - to our knowledge - been studied in detail. This is the goal of our work, in which we underline the specificity of this theatre and what it brought to the history of the theatre, particularly in Portugal. It is a theatre which inscribes itself in line with the continuity of the European theatre of the same period but which also takes into consideration previous new aesthetic and categorical preoccupations, and many aspects of ideas dear to romantics
Brailowsky, Yan. "Divination et prophétie dans le théâtre de Shakespeare : herméneutique et poétique." Paris 10, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA100106.
Full textThis thesis aims at studying the role of prophets, prophecies and divination in Shakespeare's plays, through the analysis of eight plays : two Roman plays (Julius Caesar and Coriolanus), two Romances (The Winter's Tale and Cymbeline), three Histories (2 Henry VI, Richard II, Richard III), and Macbeth. By analyzing ancient and contemporary sources (Cicero, Plutarch, Holinshed, Montaigne and Bacon, among others), I first show that the ``survival” of the gods of yore explains the “survival” of antique divinatory practices. The presence-absence of Mars in the Roman plays evidences the influence of the gods on man's destiny, an influence that works by indirection. The analysis of pagan rituals, notably oneiromancy, augurs and oracles, enables one to compare priests and soothsayers whose role as interpreters is defined by those in power. The study of deviant pagan practices in a Christian context (spiritism and necromancy) makes it possible to see what makes Christian prophecies unique, all the while showing the interpretive problems posed by prophecies uttered by equivocating spirits or apparitions. As for the tetralogies, they serve to understand the role of self-proclaimed prophets in an apocalyptic historical setting. The War of the Roses is as much emblematized by onomastic puns in a series of dynastic prophecies as it is by the claims of rival factions. Lastly, prophecies are not only a temporal, but also a spatial conundrum: the marginal location of Elizabethan playhouses is part and parcel of their prophetic nature, and accounts for Shakespeare's constant double-play on “utterance” and the French “outrance”

Full textThe Italian theater of the late 19th c. And early 20th c. Is little known and neglected by critics, though it contributed to the national revival once political unity was achieved in Italy. Turning away from dialects it chooses the national Italian language ; through its original approach to contemporary social issues it takes an independent stand against the overwhelming influence of French and Scandinavian drama. Hundreds of new plays are written each year by professional or amateur playrights. The plays are produced by dozens of itinerant troups, travelling all over the Italian territory, and even going on tours abroad. Leading actors according to tradition direct their own troup. This period is also a time of experiments : "permanent" theaters are created ; playrights, actors and company directors organize themselves in the defence of their respective interests ; a specialized press develops and increases the theater's impact on a large and enthusiastic audience. Authors deal with subjects that reflect the concerns of a rapidly rising bourgeoisie. Such themes as family and money are part of all plots. Some problem plays stage familiar concerns on the contemporary social scene, like duels and suicide. Others illustrate the new laws, underline the difficulties implied by their enforcement and suggest necessary reforms in the fields of marriage, separation, divorce, heritage, etc. All plays rely on traditional moral standards. The present work pertains to both literature and the sociology of theater. As we study the texts of the plays, the letters exchanged by authors and actors as well as the archives of the theater companies we draw attention to a literary genre which often provides an accurate image of the new Italy while revealing the obsessions of a rapidly transforming society
Douguet, Marc. "La composition dramatique : La liaison des scènes dans le théâtre français du XVIIe siècle." Thesis, Paris 8, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA080114/document.
Full textIn the seventeenth century, dramatic composition, that is, the art of introducing characters on stage in a specific order to relate a story, was revolutionized in the period around 1640 by the establishment of the rule for linking scenes. This new rule decreed that within one act, at least one a character must appear in the two successive scenes. This rule completely changed the aspect of plays in the long term. It imposed an aesthetics of continuity that broke with the discontinuity that had prevailed up until then. In plays from the beginning of the century, action progressed by the juxtaposition of scenes that each presented different characters, thus permitting the playwright to introduce abrupt changes in place, time, and situation. On the contrary, the plays that respect the rule of connection between scenes can no longer count on the intermission alone to renew completely the characters present on stage. Within each act, the action must evolve by successive shifts in meaning, each scene conserving a part of the parameters of the preceding scene. By shedding light on the choices the playwright confronts, the difference between these two aesthetics bares witness to the importance of dramatic composition: writing a play is not simply imagining a plot, but rather giving it a visual form and specifically a theatrical one. This dissertation thesis, then, is interested in both the stakes of the rule for linking scenes itself, and more generally, in the poetics of the positioning of scenes, and in dramatic “editing” with which the playwright engages in order to give body to fiction

Full textThe period to be studied, a domain that has been until now little explored, extends over the first decades of the eighteenth century and is characterized by different ruptures with the previous century, particularly with the formal and conceptual heritage of the second Silesian school. The psychological situation of the epoch is defined by the German consciousness of deficiencies in the dramatic and cultural sphere, increased by the reactions of foreigners who mock German literature. The specific German situation is the origin of the reception of French dramatic theories. The reception, or the passage from one cultural sphere to another, meets German expectations, and the borrowings play a cardinal part in the elaboration of a new dramatic theoretical edifice. The model advocated by Gottsched, who is the focus of the study, is France, a successful example of a national culture, an ideal of dramatic theory which is based on norms. The method employed consists in a reading of texts in French and German theory with the consideration of major themes. The study shows that Gottsched is inspired by the French classical and neoclassical tradition. It attempts to reveal the coherence of the French contributions that the German writer integrates into the edification of his national program
Plagnol-Diéval, Marie-Emmanuelle. "Le théâtre de madame de Genlis." Paris 10, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA100043.
Full textMadame de Genlis wrote a theater of education, today forgotten. This work analyses this theater and brings out valuable criterions for other similar works, such as the genesis of the play, the morals, the art of the theater (plot, tempo and characters) and fitness for performance. This theater is based upon a neo-classical aesthetics including morals, unequal struggle between good and evil and breakdown of the characters by the virtuous, the unperfected and the wicked. Morals secularize religious ethics. Temperance, moral strength and charity are praised, while pride, laziness, gossip, intrigue and perversity are criticized. The aim is social harmony. The adaptation of morals to society however does not imply an objective historical testimony, as the genlisian ideology and myths (family for instance) take the place of realism. The art of the theater is consequently a compromise between didactic and dramatic necessities, which explains the metamorphoses of tempo and plot. Edifying style is characterized too by original turns of phrases, for instance moral sketches, abstractions and mottos. Characters are influenced by performances of a theater of society, schematic of edifying theater, reversal of traditional comic characters and creation of new heroes. These works nevertheless care for performance because of the publicity of virtue. Madame de Genlis's theater is characterized by unity and originality; it corresponds to a moral, social and pedagogical expectation: this work shows the transition between the age of enlightenment and the nineteenth century of Louis-Philippe

Full textThrough an analytical description of its working, we will be questioning the status of enunciation and subjectivity in Classical Age plays. We began by recapitulating on theatre semiotics studies : they have shown that the representation of any dramatic text should be considered as a collective process of enunciation where complex relationships arise between multiple instances of enunciation, wether real or fictitious. The second and third part of our work is devoted to the analysis of the theatre play as it appears in book format. We define this object through its different elements, develop the study of the enunciatory status of each paratextual ensemble, and by showing that the instance of enunciation is both unique and complex we evaluate the authorial presence in the work of theatre. Then turn to the type of reading that theatre specifically requires, thus detailing the modes of enunciation at work in such textual elements as directions and the lines attributed to the characters. We will show that the dramatist's voice is an oblique one : he makes as if he could be assimilated to the heterogeneity of speaking characters and leaves it to the reader appreciate his implication in the Classical Age : when monarchical society does not allow its subjects free expression, it leaves them read themselves in the representations theatre gives of human characters. Lastly, we study how from the Antiquity to the 17th century theatre text has been progressively conceived and eleborated for reaging

Full textThe patriotic plays, with appeared with the War of Independence opening the 19th century in Spain, were very popular during the Africain War (1859-1860) and continued to develop thanks to forty years of uninterrupted conflicts leading to the "Disaster" of 1898 and the lost of the last Spanish colonies. Their writers come from the Bourgeoisie and present the ideal society of which they dream and in which the good people goes to get killed without rebelling, thus allowing the Bourgeois to pay not to send their own children. Becoming sometimes a tool of propaganda, these plays use the preexisting theatrical bases and perfectly fit in the production of this period ; by using the usual theatrical resorts, they make their message particularly efficient. .

Full textThe French theatre in the beginning of the 17th century presents the sentimental adventures which reflect the different ideologies of love. In this dramatic world where love is the principal factor of plot, the characters let themselves be guided by numerous codes of passion and react according to certain conventional procedures. On the way to amorous conquest, some of them idealize their emotion, make the beloved an object of devotion, and in order to deserve it - try to perfect the virtues of faithfulness and bravery. Others, being victims of the ardent passion, do not hesitate to satisfy their instinct, even by committing murderous acts. Some others indulge in flighty love and pass from one sensual pleasure to another. As different as they are, all these lovers make an effort to fulfil their desires. Inspired by the force of love, they apply a typical language full of comparisons and images, which does revive the poetic world of Petrarch

Full textFrom 1716 to 1729, Luigi Riccoboni (also known as "Lelio") directed the "Nouveau Théâtre Italien" in Paris. His troupe of Italian comedians performed many new plays in French. They gave voice and life to a theatrical language of its own, which blended several theatrical genres. . . Yet the spirit of the repertoire was remarkably homogeneous, to a large extent. Harlequin's simple-minded fantasy allowed him for instance to express some mere philosophical ideas on stage. In Riccoboni's repertoire, the commedia dell'arte traditional buffoonery makes way for a kind of melancholic mood : in search of genuine sincerity, the Lovers turn a blind eye to their real feelings until the happy endings settle the twisted plots. . . Marivaux's recent glory must not overshadow the other authors who once were a part of Lelio's theatre (like Autreau or Delisle). Our work aims to focus on a chapter of French and European theatrical history which indeed deserves a wider recognition

In view of the thematic study, this subject is too vast, so we restrict our research to the games and the torments of the love. Love is comic and tragic at once : how complex is the relationship between the happiness and the unhappiness of the love in the comedies of moliere ?

Full textBetween 1686 and 1719, Madame de Maintenon composed two series of short aducational plays entitled respectively "Conversations" and "Proverbs". Initially written for the Demoiselles of Saint-Cyr, i. E. , for an aristocratic public, these dramatic dialogues were conceived for the moral education of female boarding school students. Eventually, they were also used as practical exercises to improve politeness. A new literary style is thus created, the educational theatre, greatly followed in the next century. This type of plays issued from pre-existing literary forms, were inspired by civility used in the polite upper class society during the second part of the seventeenth century. The Maintenonian theatre play appropriates these models and adapts them to its pedagogical project : it institutes the child as its main character and as its privileged addressee

Full textThe analysis of mythological expression in Elizabethan tragedy rests on a study of the functions and conceptions of mythology in the culture of the English Renaissance. A diversity of mythographic approaches led to multiple, simultaneous readings of each myth, while inviting reflection on the problems of interpretation. At the same time, mythology contributed to literary and religious controversies. The emergence of a fashion for mythical elaboration centred on the sovereign paralleled that of scientific scepticism. Tragedy, which explores the magnifying and belittling potentialities of mythological rhetoric, and sets in play symbolic structures that progress from allegory to irony, raises questions about the nature and role of signs. Mythology, a language of stimulating syntheses also expressive of deep fractures, is used to create dramatic tension or ironic effects of anamorphosis in which it may be possible to apprehend what the Elizabethan mind viewed as tragic, that is to say, whatever undermined the combined ideals of renovatio and integratio. Finally, in exploring the expressive potentialities of mythology, the Elizabethans may have arrived at an intuitive inkling of what would become the concept of myth, as related to tragedy

THIS STUDY, WHOSE STRUCTURE WAS INSPIRED BY THIS IMAGE AND THAT OF THE SEVEN AGES OF MAN, WILL ATTEMPT TO FOLLOW THE BODY ON ITS DWNWARD PATH TO THE TOMB. THE ELIZABETHANS AND JACOBEANS HAD AN EXTREMELY COMPLEX ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE BODY THAT AROSE PARTLY FROM THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PHILOSOPHIES AND IDEAS OF THE MIDDLE AGES AND THE NEW DOCTRINES OF THE RENAISSANCE AND PARTLY FROM THE JUXTAPOSITION OF TWO CONTRADICTORY IMAGES AND THEIR ANTAGONISM : THE HEROIC BODY, BUILT IN THEIMAGE OF THE UNIVERSE, AND THE CORRUPTED, EVEN MONSTROUS BODY OF WHOSE WEIGHT THE SOUL DESIRED TO BE FREE. THIS ANTAGONISM CREATES THE DRAMATIC TENSION THAT IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PLAYS OF THE PERIOD AND PARTICULARLY THE TRAGEDIES. EACH PLAYWRIGHT USES THE PHILOSOPHICAL, RELIGIOUS AND MEDICAL THEORIES OF THE TIME TO CONSTRUCT HIS OWN IMAGE PF THE BODY. THE SOUL IS IMPRISONED IN ITS ENVELOPE OF FLESH, BUT THE ECHO OF THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES GIVES THE BODY AND SPIRIT THEIR HEROIC strength AND LIMITLESS AMBITION.
