Vasserot, Christilla. "Les avatars de la tragédie dans le théâtre cubain contemporain, 1941-1968." Paris 3, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999PA030059.
Full textThe expression cuban theatre means much more than an artistic category or a place. It represents an art always seeking for its own style : the dramatization and the production of a national identity, the search of typical cuban forms. This quest had created different kinds of theatre's experiences. Nevertheless, beyond the diversity of genres, different levels of quality, and of course individual specificities, several common points and similarities allow us to assert the existence of a generation. Such observations justify our study that aims at presenting a serie of thoughts in a way to define a contemporary cuban dramatic way of writing. This study more precisely deals with a period of time between 1941 and 1968 (these two dates are symbolic and related to the composition and the publication of virgilio pinera and anton arrufat's plays : electra garrigo and los siete contra tebas). These years represent a step of theatre's revival that was marked out by the will to create a specifically cuban dramaturgy using technics and aesthetic models of international avant-garde. The choice of tragedy as the federative element of the plays mentioned in this study is not fortuitous. The appropriation of the tragic genre is indeed linked to the most interesting researches carried out by the authors of that period : - revival of the cuban dramatic art's traditonal forms - quest of modernity related to foreign models - creation of an appropriate genre to express what is commonly called cubania ; elaboration of a national and contemporary style : the cuban tragedy, which we define in our whole study

Full textThis thesis examines the theatrical production of Virgilio Piñera (1912 – 1979) via the major dramatic and theatrical ideas which overlap in his plays, in which their fundamental characteristic is to find a place in the “New Theatre” of the 1950s. This assertion is confirmed by analyzing the principal dramatic categories, and the development of several of these towards a perfection of the “new form”. In addition, we show that in many plays there is an oblique or veiled allusion to a Cuban reality which, while enriching the text, leaves the spectator free to interpret according to his experience of the context, or lack thereof. This constitutes a particular feature of the theatre of Piñera. Studying the “game”, in the larger sense of the word, enables us to approach the repeated use of theatricality, parody, and intertextuality which is unique to this playwright. These resources, which we find in the “New Theatre” in Europe (Ionesco, Beckett), show a link between the work of Piñera and this movement. Finally, in questioning the tragic element, we provide evidence that this Cuban playwright’s vision of the world is inseparable from his conception of human nature and of the human condition. By showing a violence inherent in the world, and by employing various dramatic categories, this tragic vision is supported and takes form in his plays. Questioning these various themes permits us to reveal unexplored aspects of Piñera’s theatre and to show the renewal of the tragic element by this playwright

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 textClassical theatre did not permit death on stage. This ban had been laid down by Horace in his Ars poetica and justified by Medea’s infanticide: “Medea should not slaughter her children in the presence of the people […]. Whatever you show me like this, I detest and refuse to believe. ” Due to this illustrious reference, from the 16th to the 18th century, Medea became a choice example for reflections on verisimilitude and on the means of achieving dramatic effectiveness. Stage adaptations of the story of Medea raised the issues of the limits of what could be represented and the reasons why violence had to be controlled and limited by playwrights in order to become acceptable. While they stand for a climax of violence, Medea’s crimes also call for investigations in specific fields. Compendia of myths, medical treatises, books of demonology, theories on power and women: texts from all these fields of knowledge, in which Medea served as a paradigm, have been consulted to shed new light on the theatrical treatment of the subject. Making violence plausible does not imply eliminating it entirely; violence is effective dramatically, as the popularity of the subject-matter demonstrates. Therefore, this study focuses on confronting the theoretical discourse on theatre with the plays themselves, in order to understand better the advantages and risks for the tragic genre entailed by the representation of violence. These Medeas mark the limits of what is tolerable on stage and sketch out a history of the theatrical representation of bloody crimes. In this respect, the scandal represented by Medea appears as a particularly rich theoretical and dramatic object

This analysis was representative of a period during which the weight of institutions allowed only the king's fools or the artists to express themselves freely. In the twentieth century, we can witness a shift of interest. From 1960 to 1990, British and American playwrights were more interested in the treatment of madness, than in madness itself. The general dynamic of their plays is one of denunciation, thanks to a comical vein or to a scathing satire. Dramatists have actually exploited psychiatric issues to incriminate totalitarian powers

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. .
Silva, Alexandra Moreira da. "La question du poème dramatique dans le théâtre contemporain." Paris 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA030138.
Full textApplying the concept of “dramatic poem” to contemporary theatre may be considered irrelevant and even anachronistic. However, there is a growing number of authors who call themselves “dramatic poets” or simply “poets”. The fact that these authors regard their texts as dramatic poems does not mean that they are seeking to categorize their works within a specific genre, but rather that they are questioning and permanently reinventing forms and languages which are at the very basis of the scenic transformations and changes in the relation between author and audience. Our proposal for an analysis of the dramatic poem presupposes a reflection on the many changes introduced, especially since the 1980s, in the relation between author, theatre director and audience, as well as on the experimental character of theatrical texts, which show an increasing tendency to “overflow”, i. E. , to transcend the canon of drama. Thus, contemporary dramatic poem is the ideal form of a new genre, which Jean-Pierre Sarrazac terms “infradramatic”. We can therefore say that contemporary dramatic poem constitutes a positive reaction against the announced death of drama, showing the power of drama to reinvent and revive itself

Full textIn Rome, where theatre is a theatre of pure play, ghosts appearing in Seneque’s tragedies are no anthropological ghosts but pure images with a theatrical operator purpose : within a prologue they have a performing function lying in starting the show, and within the narration they release the characters from the “dolor” so that the show can be genuinely started. In Greece, ghosts appearing in Eschyle’s and Euripide’s plays have a mixed function : informative, for the stories originate in mythology but get modified by dramatists, and performing for they act on the course of the show. In contemporary theatre (Pasolini, Gabily, Bond, Koltès, Müller) which, unlike the other two, is not a ritual and codified theatre but a theatre of representation, phantoms are built after signifying images. However, dramatists systematically release themselves from these original images in order to set up specifically theatrical space and time, proper to ghosts, especially by using different forms of meta-theatre. Meetings with the living do not ever reproduce extra-theatrical patterns but occur, within each play, as unprecedented meetings taking place concurrently to the theatrical narrative. They are used for defining the theatrical space as a space of play where, thanks to the ghosts, a specific relations created between the stage and the audience, based on recognition and taking the place of the classical relation of identification. Ghosts are pointers of playfulness and allow the director to consider playful stagings, sequences in which they intervene, establishing an ephemeral but real sociability between the actors and the audience
Viviescas, Víctor. "Représentation de l'individu dans le théâtre colombien moderne 1950-2000." Paris 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA030009.
Full textThis thesis carries out an investigation on the modern Colombian writing during the second part of the XX century, around the concept known as "the individual's representation. " Primarily we had investigated three aspects of the contemporary writing context, which are the crisis of drama, the crisis of the representation and the crisis of the individual. This triple crisis creates the context in which the dramaturgy we are about to study is borned and developed. The colombian modern theatre takes its source from the drama crisis and arrives at the end of the XX century, to the experimentation of the postdramatic and post representation writing in the context created by the simultaneous presence of three alternative concepts which are: the hybridization in the dramatic way and the experimentation of the fragment like form; the overflow and the setting in crisis of the representation that is experienced as simulation ; and the individual's explosion and its representation of broken fragments through the theatrical character

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

The state of his prey and the character of the obstacles to be overcome set the tone of the pay; if seduct ion is based on fantasy where hedonisme easily triumphs, the play is amusing. On the other hand, if seduction is based on the the reality qhere morals predominate, the play is serious. But regardless of the tone used, seduction is the most cherished theme for all authors from the boulevard who take on interest in private life. We propose to study all of the aspects of seduction from 1900 to 1940 through the "theatre de boulevard" ; in the first part, the global framework of the dramatic arts : the story, the time and the space of seduction; and in the second part, the dramatic arts in practice : the staff and the language in the first section, the situation and the functioning of seduction in the second section and in conclusion the repersussions of seduction
Ruiz, José-Manuel. "Des désirs illusoires aux désirs dérisoires dans le théâtre espagnol contemporain." Toulouse 2, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009TOU20005.
Full textThe subject of desire is dealt with in a selection of contemporary Spanish playwrights from the last three decades. This work highlights the changes in a society which transitions from a period of excitement and enthusiasm at the end of an oppressive regime, to one which is self-questioning and almost disenchanted at the end of the millennium, and eventually to a return to values which are more humanistic and definitely more expressive of a social consciousness. This study shows that the most enthusiastic plays from the 1970s understate the illusion of desire whereas following generations, who at first appear more disillusioned, are actually more optimistic and more involved in commonplace events; through this, things which are trivial tend to become more pragmatic. Desire is here described in relation to perversion, melancholy, vampires, sexualities, circularity, mystery, magic, utopia, dreams and tragedy. The semiotic, linguistic, anthropological, philosophical and social approach is first and foremost one of a literary basis. The intention of this thesis is to draw attention to the evolution of Spanish theatre and to spark interest in the exciting and dynamic productions that are uniquely Spanish drama
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 contemporary drama, the amazing abundance of corpse and odd apparitions between life and death is due on the hand to the exhibition of the body and its involvment to signification, and the other, to the return of death, a death which is no longer seen as a punctual event, but a situation or a state of being as itself. From beckett to copi, from ionesco to vinaver, the corpse happens to be place where ideological, phantasmatic, esthetic and dramatic challenges appear. In a strategy of inscription, the dead body is the expression of historical violence or witness to the alienation of modern man. While language and symbolization fail to make sens, while words have lost any power to mean, only the corpse seems to be able to signify; it identifies also with the "other" imaginary body, the schizophrenic, anal body, close to the instinctive life. Actuated by subversive phantasm, the housebreaking strategy of death endeavours to reach the center of the body, the very nakedness under the signs and deceitful masks. This major obsession of body and death generates a diversified, chequered and lively dramatic art. .

Full textThis research aims to analyze the image of the black man in french drama, as seen by whites, from the renaissances to the twentieth century, and in particular from the first representations of the black magus to theatrical attempts to destroy the "nigger" character on the eve of decolonization. We intend to consider the black man as dramatic character. Above all, however, by studying the theater, we strive to understand how cliches and stereotypes from which the "nigger" originated were formed. Whilst the black man was only a vague color during the renaissance, he was enveloped in a shell of prejudice which gradually locked him into the image of the "nigger"; we attempt to analyze these successive strata of ideological and cultural concretions. The theater is consequently primarily considered here as reflection of society and the survey makes ample use of the press to assess the changes in mentalities and to draw a history of how the public reacted to the black man in drama. The study is presented in chronological order and implements the political and economic environment within which the plays and shows under consideration lie. Closely linked to the political context, representations of the "nigger" were both objets of censorship and instrumental in propaganda. This history of the image of the image of the black man in theater is also regularly clarified by means of a study of the iconography and in particular of representations of blacks in art, as artist' aesthetic research, as well as the ideological influence they undergo, are often at one with those of playwrights

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

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 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 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 textHoward Barker is a playwright, poet, director and English painter born in 1946. He began to write early 1970 and has developed since the 1980's the concept of The Theatre of Catastrophe. His theatre recognizes Greek tragedy as a model, cutting off its catharsis effect and keeping its climax, the chaos. It puts the actor at the centre because it is the bearer of language. This text analyzes the concepts of this theatre through five selectedplays : The Europeans, Gertrude the Cry, The Twelfth Battle of Isonzo, Und and Don’t Exaggerate (Desires and insults) A Political Statement in the Form of Hysteria. In the first part, we develop the broad principles of this drama : the tragic and its adaptation, the omnipresence of death ; speculation that the author practices from a historical or literary standpoint and questioning morality through the savage ego which characterises the catastrophist character. The second part focuses on the construction of the catastrophist play : what is its dramaturgy, how is it an expression of desire and places the language at the centre of the theatre and how the chaos concept cannot be separated. The third part analyzes the poetic aspect of the last three plays cited in which secrecy is predominant and the language of the theatre of Catastrophe is radicalized. The fourth part relate experiences with this theatre : spectator, free observer , intern and workshop assistant. Such various viewpoints are confronted. The conclusion summarises the concepts of The Theatre of Catastrophe and assesses its place in the contemporary theatrical landscape

Written by clerics, it contributes to the doctrinal and moral teaching of the church. Christianity, which was founded on the idea of man being created in god's image and on divine incarnation in the human figure of Jesus, provided fertile ground for emerging dramatic forms, the more so in that the mass is conceived as a symbolic reenactement of event that Christ leaved though. However, manifestly secular themes are to be found in that performed in the churches. The concerns of urban society mingle with those of the church. Secular themes contribute to the dramatic art of this jeu : the french language is used to flesh out the characters presented, as are comic episods. The stage escapes the influence of ecclesiastic symbolism. The latin and french dramas also have a pre-christian magic element which the population had never really abandoned. Motifs from folklore are figured in characters who are highly active on stage : fools, wild men, certain female characters or messengers. The presence of much contradictory features in the sphere of the sacred can only be elucidated in the light of anthropology. The basis constituant of though necessarely find form in the drama because they provide the key to the way that man represents himself and the world around him. Hence, dramatic art acquires its own language : it transcends its own materiality by virtue of being consacrated. The dramatic character exists though the contract tacitly linking the spectator and the spectacle. As the authors discover a specifically dramatic consciousness, they elaborate a corresponding form of writing that intern influences other mod of expression. The theatre becomes capable of translating all literary genres into its own terms, it equally influences the other arts. The spectator and communicative sign-system of the drama recreates an autonomous world nevertheless based on society's acknowledgement : it is thus a consecrated world

Full textToday, the Devil is back. Curiously, in spite of many works about him, nobody write about what he was in the Golden Age, in the drama principally. The Devil is not alone, he's multifarious. This thesis is in fact an essay about the history of the diabolic's characters from the Middle Ages down to the seventeenth century, principally centred about the Spanish drama of the golden age. She's also criticism about diabolic's characters. We're going to study their physique, psychism, environment, behaviour and evolution. In the course of Sabbath, people venerate the Devil. Others die for him. In drama, the diabolic's characters divert wonderfully readers and spectators. Sometimes they create laughing, sometimes they spread terror. Moreover, they play with theirs victims, and check theirs lifes. Diabolic's representation means also demon, withcraft, bewitchment, possession, necromancy, fright, wood-pile, hell. .

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 early Sixties mark the beginning of a significant evolution in the theatre of Tennessee Williams. The playwright mostly known for works such as A Steetcar named Desire or Cat on a hot tin roof takes a new direction, if not exactly spectacular then nonetheless surprising and challenging. This impulse stems from a wish to innovate and to take risks, artistically speaking, resulting in a somewhat negative impact on his career : Williams saw his popularity decline considerably and he lost the support of most drama critics. In these difficult circumstances where most of his plays were dismissed as incoherent, Williams' almost legendary determination only increased. In the plays written between 1962 and 1983, the playwright opens the stage to the founding figures of his literay landscape, the androgyne and the artist, and pursues the (con)quest of his ideals. These two figures share a common desire to regain harmony ; their aim is also to bring about a revival on several levels (artistic, sexual, social, racial and even religious) and, finally, to put an end to an inherent, yet intolerable, feeling of loneliness. In so doing, the androgyne and the artist work for the realization of Williams' premier ambition : the meeting and union with the other. The plays under consideration are : The Milk train doesn't stop here anymore, Slapstick tragedy, In the bar of a Tokyo hotel, Kingdom of Earth, Small crafts warnings, The Two-character play, The Red devil battery sign, Vieux Carré, A lovely sunday for Creve coeur, Clothes for a summer hotel and Something cloudy, something clear

Full textIn this thesis, the image of the eastern world in the Elizabethan theatre is first studied in relation with its historical background. Trade with the eastern countries and the war against the Turk are pointed out as the factors which most contributed in shaping the Elizabethan image of the eastern world and its expression on the stage. The vision of the east as the realm of passion, violence and sensuality and as a land of marvels and stupendous wealth can be seen through the different evocations of the eastern world. Strangeness and exoticism are the characteristics which mark the oriental life and customs portrayed by the dramatists. The images of a violent, sensual and thoroughly wicked oriental have their expression particularly in the plays centered on the theme of the confrontation with the Turk or through the figures of the oriental villains such as alcazar (lust's dominion: Th. Dekker) and mulleasses (the Turke: J. Mason ). In Mustapha (Greville, the image of the oriental is less stereotyped because it takes its psychological and thematic depth in the tragedy. The evaluation of the images in the third part shows the value and the importance of Marlowe’s Tamburlaine in the tradition of orientalism in the Elizabethan drama and the distinction of Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra

Full textGreek tragedy is the full and entire expression of the tragic phenomenon. From the former we can deduce three elements capable of defining latter. The tragic concerns the being of man. To be perceived, an ontological continuity needs to be established. It takes the shape of a aporie. Anti-Hegelian philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche demonstrate this hypothesis. The tragic produces a feeling : anguish for the first one, disgust with life for the second one and joy for the third one. A more strickly aesthetic definition of the phenomenon, offered specifically by Maeterlinck and Wagner, shows the tragic mainly as an effect. This first study highlights the conceptual tools needed to comprehend the tragic in the tramatic texts of the twentieth century, and shows how the tragic is invested in the transition between modernism and postmodernism. .

In the first section, we attempt to give prominence to the relationship between the myth and literature in. We then, in two further sections, endeavour to describe the diachronic path of the development of this myth, in order to highlight both the variation and constancy in the essential components of the Oedipus myth. In the fourth section, we attempt to adopt a synchronic approach in order to demonstrate the different ideological aspects which, for each dramatist, endorse the palimpsest style of the Oedipus myth. This is done particularly from the philosophical, psychoanalytical and metaphysical points of view

Full textThis thesis intends, after setting chronological and geographical bounds to its corpus, to give a definition of comedy, as an expression of carnivalesque release, in the broadest meaning of the phrase, as well as of public morals. The existence of a comic pharmakos. Expelled or punished before the fertility rites are accomplished, initiates a pattern from which few subcategories actually differ. The first part, in a historical approach, demonstrates both the permanence and evolution of the male and female disguise, first a transgression of religious rules then a mere plotting device. The transferring of some schemes from Italy to France, Spain or England, allows one to examine the differences in aesthetic treatments (burlesque or romantic situations) and also the degrees of freedom permitted in the various countries or the sublimation by the dramatists themselves. The second part deals more precisely with the struggles inside the family circle: competition between father and son, conjugal strife’s - and their assessment on the grounds of rather dim morals where the idea of nature seems predominant over the rules of either churches or states. It studies rough music as a burlesque means of punishment. The third part demonstrates the desire for reconciliation in and by the means of comedy: the wedding, its specific catastrophe, may be inverted into false nuptials or ludicrous divorce. Traditional festivals, May Day, midsummer, also point to the survival of fertility rites

Full textThe modern Persian theatre was trully born in the nineteenth century, thank to the discovery of the western theatre. Enlightened politicians have tried to modernise Persia, students were to be send sent to France in order to learn modern science. When these students were coming home they had a lively interest for French culture including its theatre. Moreover, in Persia, we can notice the rise of a middle class where reformist and neo-religious ideas developed themselves. This background is where economical, political and social reforms and changes emerged to create a new literary genre that is to be found in modern Persian theatre. Thus, Le Misanthrope by Molière was traduced by Gozâreš-e mardom goriz by Mirzâ Habib Esfahâni who was in a political exile (in Instanbul in 1869). Nevertheless he took great liberties in the characters’names and their personalities so that the acting was more Persian than French. In addition to direct adaptations, Persian theatre was also influenced by the Classic French theatre with the work of Persian playwrights such as Mirzâ Aghâ Tabrizi. His comedies are mainly ironic and about political corruption and superstitions. These writers tried to compose or adapt modern plays –often in Molière’s way- bringing typical characters to life, describing scenes that are at the same time comical and satirical. It was a mean a means to address their works to every social group. Because of this obvious link between Persian and French theatre. I am considering doing a socio-historical analysis of Persian plays especially from the end of the nineteenth century because they put to light the relation with Molière’s work but also highlight the cultural issues

Full textThis research is a study of the comic and the tragic in the theatrical work of Wole Soyinka. It analyses, on one hand, the depiction and the dramaturgical relations between the comic and the tragic in his drama and, on the other hand, relates them to the sociological and ideological context of modern Africa. The association of the tragic and the comic is one of the most important pillars of contemporary African drama, according to critics. The aim of this research is to examine the nature, the forms and the meaning of this association in Soyinka’s drama. From the same viewpoint, the aim is to determine the place of comedy in African tragedy. The Nigerian dramatist has proposed an African tragedy based on Yoruba cosmogony, rituals and metaphysics. However, as it is usually the case with propositions of African tragedy, Soyinka has underestimated the comic in the process. Yet, the complexity of this comic invites to a different approach. Broadly speaking, critics seem to have misjudged the comic aspect in African tragedy. Although it is less researched area, it is known that African audiences laugh during representations of tragedies. It is also said that laughter and festivity are part of daily life, including during its tragic moments. On this respect, the aim of this research is to identify an African tragedy through the drama of comic. Soyinka’s drama shows that this comic aspect, this laughter, and this festivity are at the expression of man’s modern tragedy. The dramatic text, the historical and aesthetic process, and the poetics of its reception are the pillars of this expression
Béziat, Florence. "Le thème du silence dans le théâtre de Tirso de Molina." Toulouse 2, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996TOU20080.
Full textThis study is concerned with tirso de molina's theatre and the particular use of theme of theatrical silence : the truncation of speech and dialogue - where no words are spoken (explicit silences) and where something is silenced through the use of words (implicit silences). About twenty plays presenting several aspects of silence are analysed, after being classified into four different categories : saintliness, power, honour, and love. Afterwards, i try to determine the ethical values of silence in the chosen plays, in order to establish if the playwright offers us a positive or a negative vision of silence. According to my studies ot these plays, i have been able to ascertain that, in the four categories concerned, the silence, generally speaking, has a positive value in tirso's theater and that it appears to be an attribute specific to characters of rank. A brief chapter on the history of ideas will lead to a better understanding of these findings. Last of all, i consider the theme of silence from the point of view of the playwright, focussing on his use of it as a dramatic technique. This last chapter is only a first incursion, where i study some types of stagecraft like delayed action, interruption, withholding of information, in order to discover the different functions of silence in this theatre. A comparative study between two honour plays, one written by tirso, the other by calderon, reveals that, in tirso's theatre and in this type of plays, the silence is useful for isolating the tragic dimension from the rest of the action and for preserving the possibility of a happy ending

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”
