Fandi, Siham. "Le théâtre syro-libanais et les influences françaises (1847-1914)." Aix-Marseille 1, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992AIX10017.
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

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 This literature, almost unpublished, with a mostly incaic thematic, has never been studied and we try first to rebuild a story of the performances.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
Marques, Fernando Carmino. "Le théâtre au Portugal, 1800-1822." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040251.
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
Patierno, Alvio. "Le théâtre français à Naples dans la seconde moitié du XIX siècle." Saint-Etienne, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008STET2126.
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 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 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
Giannouli, Angeliki. "La Grèce antique sur la scène française dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle." Paris 8, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA082834.
Full textThis study aims at enlightening the image of ancient Greece the way the French scene represented it during the first half of the 19th century, between 1797 ant 1873. A historical and dramaturgic analysis handling with a hundred of plays attempts to demonstrate how a reinterpretation and a reappraisal of the antique Greek hero and topics drawn out of mythology are gradually structured, besides the doctrine of the French classical theater's imitation. The grouping of performances by dramatic genders and mythological cycles having been given at the Opera, the Odeon, the Comédie Française or even on popular stages throws light on this renewal of interest in Greece by revealing changes in mentality, procedures, esthetic aspect and yet in politics. Back from the last imitations of tragedies to the first theatrical productions of ancient Greek authors, going through restructured plot of dramas, comedies and vaudevilles, in which the romantics often got the best part, the thesis follows the variations and the new requests of the stage and the theatrical writing
El, Fakhri-Frem Sonia. "Le théâtre au Liban d'expression arabe et française de 1848 à 1975." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040249.
Full textIs there a Lebanese theater ? Our work aims at addressing this question. The play entitled Al Bakhil (L' "Avare" de Molière), that was adapted by Maroun Naccache in 1848, represents a starting point and a reference in the history of the Arabic theatre. We study the theatre in the period between 1848 and 1975, as well as the other forms of performing arts present before 1848, and consider the periods of development, regression and the underlying causes. The work includes a general overview of the Lebanese theatre in Lebanon, Egypt and France as well as an analysis of the different movements and the characteristics of each evolution period. We have stressed the problems and difficulties of the theatre in relation with the socio-political and economic context. This work consists in five sections that address 1- the aspects of the different forms of performing arts before Naccache; 2- the birth of theatre in Lebanon with Naccache and the difficulties encountered as well as the contributions of his successors in the development of theatre in Lebanon and Egypt; 3- the period of instability due to World War I and II, local wars and economic crises; 4- the renewed rise and growth of Lebanese theatre between 1960 and 1975; 5- the French-speaking (francophone) Lebanese theatre. The theatrical works of different play-writers and directors have been analyzed and categorized. In a effort to preserve a record of the theatrical works of this period, a unified record listing the main play-writers, directors and actors, as well as theatre companies, theatres and play titles was created. Although the main aim of our work was to analyze the different factors affecting the evolution of the theatrical genre, it was necessary to undertake a general historical overview to better understand the interaction between these factors in their socio-political and economic context
Salgues, Marie. "Nationalisme et théâtre patriotique en Espagne pendant la seconde moitié du XIXème siècle (1859-1900)." Paris 3, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA030144.
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. .
Pécastaing-Boissière, Muriel. "La place de l'actrice dans la société victorienne (1831-1908)." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040134.
Full textThe situation of Victorian actresses within their society is very original, especially as women. Indeed, their work enables them to be economically independent, contrary to most Victorian women. Furthermore, the actresses who manage theatres can even command their male colleagues. Nevertheless, the rest of Victorian society is very suspicious of actresses, because, like prostitutes, these performers use their bodies and their emotions to earn their living. Under the influence of the evangelical revival and of the non-conformists, who violently reject actresses, most members of the middle and upper classes shun theatres, whereas the working classes find their favorite entertainment there. However, from the mid-1860s onwards, actresses become aware of the importance of their image and of that of the theatre in general when it comes to their careers. An increasing proportion of actresses come from the middle and upper classes then, and they are even more wary of their status than their colleagues who are mostly born in the profession. Under these newcomers' influence, actresses from the top of the professional hierarchy try to attract the middle and upper classes back to the theatre, and they strive to be considered as respectable women. The consequence of this movement is growing conformism, often detrimental to dramatic art. However, this enables actresses from the top of the profession to be largely accepted by society, especially from the 1880s onwards, when their salaries spectacularly increase
Reuter, Francesca. "Le débat sur les pratiques scéniques en Allemagne au début du XIXe siècle." Lyon 2, 2005. http://theses.univ-lyon2.fr/documents/lyon2/2005/reuter_f.
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
Masclet, Virginie. "La parole dans le théâtre de Musset." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040132.
Full textIt is a well-known fact that most of Musset's plays were not written to be performed. This refusal of the stage should not be explained as the result of the author's ideological views on literature, but rather as a consequence of a wound to his pride. Young Musset's works had been badly greeted and mocked, and thus the author gave up the audience and intended his drama to be read rather than performed. One must then conclude that to read Musset's plays is to accept the original experience of a drama which exists only through its words, which distances itself from Aristotelian mimesis and catharsis, and which is built through the sole speech of characters. Speech is therefore the core of Musset's drama. It represents its very substance, its meaning, and at the same time its means of expression and its subject for reflection. This work on speech as a means of expression and as an end in itself has some important corollaries. If speech animates this drama to be read and not to be performed, it plays its part as much as a character would. As a character, then, speech has its own story which originally quite resembles its speaker's story. The originality of Musset as a playwright must be seen in contrast to the tradition he went against
Caire, Marie-Pierre. "La vie théâtrale à Barcelone pendant le "sexenio" démocratique (1868-1874)." Perpignan, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PERP0551.
Full textTheatrical life in Barcelona was very intense during the years of the democratic sexenioʺ (1868-1874). The first part of this work presents the historical, economic, social, cultural and linguistic context of this theatrical activity and attempts to bring out the aspects which influenced its expansion and development. After identifying the main public theatres where performances took place and outlining their characteristics and how they functioned, the study focuses on the dramatic productions of the period. This aspect is based on a systematic analysis of theatre programmes announced in the contemporary press, a statistical analysis of which enables the main characteristics of the works to be defined: titles, genres, authors, importance of Castilian, Catalan and bilingualism, premises, etc. Two chapters are devoted to the analysis of certain works which reflect specific aspects of the time, that is current affairs, political events and debates of the "sexenio", and the use of Castilian and Catalan. The results of the statistical study are commented on in the final chapter. Volumes 2, 3, 4 and 5 present catalogues and graphs - drawn up from the theatre programmes in the press - for the years 1868, 1869, 1873 and 1874

Full textThe French XIXth Century assigned the theatre a foremost place, specially the comic genre. It became the vector for social and individual forceful trends. Hence, the death of a once famous actor enlightens him as well as those who survive him. Words and attendance to the burial display recollection and oblivion, the look put on an art and his artists placed until then under secular bias. The death ritual replace the dead among a cultural nebula very dense and show a man often exemplary of his century with his respectable way of life – a new look and position. The result of the actors’ thoughts and fight through professional associating, promotion of their art history, helped with the soar of the press. The journalists were often playwrights and part of the audience such the attraction for the drama was strong
Février, Jean. "Le théâtre en breton vannetais aux XVIIIeme et XIXeme siècles d'après les manuscrits de Vannes et Keranna." Rennes 2, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994REN20031.
Full textThe aim of this thesis is the study of the tragedies that were composed in Breton, in the Vannes dialect, in the eighteenth century and that were played successfully in a part of Morbihan until the middle of the nineteenth century. A first part deals with the economical and social situation of the environment during that period : this expression of popular culture developed in a rural society which was rather closed up on account of its particular dialect and which was strictly controlled by the catholic clergy. Then, the religious nature, the aims and the sources of the plays are explained as well as their importance compared with the contemporary literature written in the same dialect, the way they were spread, the personality of the people who copied the manuscripts, the places and the conditions of the performances, and finally the reasons why this theater declined. A second part analyses the nineteen well-known tragedies, their sources, some French models, the variantes, the particularities of the language in the manuscripts. Finally, annexed to this study, the reproduction of the manuscript texts of two significant tragedies will be found : "st Juliana’s martyrdom" and "the prodigal son" and, facing the texts, their transcription into "unified" spelling with some explanations. A summary in French is added to the thesis written in Breton
Gray, Henri. "La prise de parole du théâtre irlandais a travers les pièces de John Millington Synge." Paris 3, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA030084.
Full textSynge selects a language: the conflict between social speech and individual speech is all the more complex in ireland as the victory of English plunges Gaelic into the turmoil of politics. Synge chooses a blend of everyday Anglo-Irish and literary Anglo-Irish. Synge seeks his speech: his poems show a theatrical tropism in flashes of tragedy or comedy. Synge focuses his prose on abjects, gestures, events, crowds, oral speech, written speach, humour, conflicts. Opts for plays about the prople. Synge strikes a rhapsody: theatrical speech is the confluence of oral speech and written speech, catharsis is an orgy in a confessional. Synge's creation makes Anglo-Irish more Irish, more poetic and more dramatic through a selection of Anglo-Irish forms, concentration, orchestration. Linking proceds from the visible and the invisible, from sounds and silence, from a transoposition of conversation and echoes of anglo-irish forme. Rhythm springs from conflicts, plots, themes, gestures, speeches, tenses, naglo-irish forms, resonance chambers. Concentration radiates from the theatrical beat: a genetic approach reveals a quest for energy through parabolic reflectors in the dramatic field

Full textThe theater scene, key element of several novels yet unexplored, questions the bounds between the medium and the œuvre within. Supported by a corpus made of French and French Canadian novels published between 1871 and 1949, this work argues the recurrent specificities of the theater scene, whatever the time, the aesthetics or the place from which the novelist writes. Becoming a privileged topos for the text that operates « a return on itself », the questions of reflexivity and specularity enlighten what theater can do to the text. From a sociocritic reading articulating social and art matters, our study on the theater scene covers not only the dramatic art’s aspect but also the theater aspect thought as a social classification tool. The costume, the body of the artist, the lights, but also the theatrical spaces, the category of public and the society life happening in the theater hall are, if anything else, some facets our work would like to point out. The prism of the theater scene once revealed goes beyond the interiority of art and the exteriority of the social behavior through and thanks to the body. Between what André Belleau calls the « code » and the « parole (speech)», the theater scene embodies both aspects, links them both tight and goes past them thanks to the bodies that are both eroticized and socialized

Full textThe three major English-speaking poets of the modern age, W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden have all devoted a significant part of their careers to the theatre. There were many studies of their contributions to drama at the time of their success, but the concept of “verse drama”, which was coined to characterize them, has proved of doubtful value. It denies the specifically modernist nature of their reflection and a approach to the theatre, particularly by underestimating the importance of the European theories of drama as utopia, such as Wagner’s and Mallarmé’s. The aim of the present thesis is to offer a new reading of the dramatic works of these poets, whether they were explicitly intended for the stage or they are implicitly dramatic in form and content, taking into account their utopian dimension and attempting to redefine their place in the history of British drama

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.

Full textThis study aims analyzing the official festivals, the theatres and the "spectacle de curiosités" in the eleventh theatrical and imperial district uring the Consulate and the First Empire. He was a tragedy lover who took on the legacy of the Revolution and yet who openly revived the monarchic ceremonials, the First Consul resorted immoderately to propaganda. Official festivities and shows were abundantly used so as to stage power, to control and watch people's minds. Inthe heart of the Empire, this study focuses on the way the imperial worship was developed thanks to the festivals, the theatres and the companies between the year VIII and 1815. About strengthening the devotion for Napoleon and those of the decrees voted in June 1806 and April 1807 about the theatrical life in the departments. This work studies the political relations between Paris and the provinces, highlighting people's obvious reluctance to respect the calendar of the festivals or the theatrical censorship. It shows how the official culture was spread connected to the economical and financial constraints and the local traditions and opinions. Is presents e new sociology of the main actors in the festivities. It studies the planned places, the repertoires and the speeches. And it shows how the official messages were transmitted and how they were received by the people : their approval or their objection as well as the dramatic criticisms. This study thus tries to present a new cultural history of the politics and of its cultural practices at the time of the Consulate and of the First Empire

Full textThe prolific playwright Bernard Shaw was also an intellectual whose concern it was to expose the injustice of his time and propose reforms to remedy them, playing a crucial part in the initial making of Fabian doctrine. While Shaw holds true drama as resulting from commitment to ideas, the dramatic discourse in the plays partakes both of the theory developed in his tracts, prefaces, articles and treatises and of practice, as a means of acting upon the public and society. The dramatic works criticize the commonplaces of bourgeois conventions, fashionable theatre and capitalist profit, and point to the intellectual as an alternative to the established order, who resembles the ruling administrator advocated by the reformist. In this respect, they unfold a system of thought which is rooted in Fabian socialism and bring to light the ambiguities of the middle-class intellectual taking a stand in the city

Full textThere is an undeniable french prescence in the theater of latin america : it can be appreciated through the writings about indigenous theater, and the tours around the continent made by the most celebrated french masters. This influence is also manifest in some historical motives of the evangelization theater, as well as in the french-writt en plays staged by latin-americans. Through the study of texts, reports and historical testimony, our work intends to seize the traces this exchange left in the formation of the public's taste, the conception of the mise en scene, and in the perspectives of a new creativity
Lo, Shih-Lung. "La Chine dans le théâtre français du XIXe siècle." Thesis, Paris 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA030030/document.
Full textFrom 1789 to 1905, China is one of the most exotic topics represented on the French theater stage. This China can evoke the imagination inherited from the eighteenth-century “chinoiseries” taste. And moreover, it witnesses the nineteenth-century Sino-French socio-political events, which are never detached from the rising colonialism or even the Orientalism.This work attempts to build up a repertoire of Chinese-subject plays, and to analyze the production and the reception of the Chinese image on the French theatre stage during the nineteenth century. The corpus of the entire repertoire can be divided into three categories: the French playwright’s creation, the plays translated or adapted from Chinese literary works, and the performances given by Chinese actors. Chronologically organized, each chapter in this work follows the decisive Sino-French bilateral events. The first three chapters examine the Chinese and Oriental elements which have been applied to the French theatre in the previous centuries, and which are reinvented and appropriated under the influence of Sinology, a new scientific discipline institutionalized in the first half of the nineteenth century. The last three chapters develop with the two Opium Wars, the Sino-French War in Vietnam, the Boxer’s rebellion, as well as the birth of the concept of the “yellow peril.”For the playwrights and the artists, this “China” is therefore familiar but strange, approachable but intangible, cliché but ever-changing, exhausted but exploitable. All these contradictions contribute to create a kaleidoscopic China on the French theatre stage

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
Oliveira, Moura Monize. "Sarah Bernhardt vue du Brésil (1886- 1905)." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015SACLV006/document.
Full textThis work proposes an analysis of the french actress Sarah Bernhardt's (1844-1923) three tours in Brazil, precisely in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in 1886, 1893, 1905. Taking the thoughts about the flow of artists and the cultural globalization of the 19th century as a background, the present study considers Sarah Bernhardt tours as a precious example of the French theater diffusion process and of the internalization of audiences. In what regards Brazil, it is noticeable that the referred period, marked by a strong foreign artistic presence, is also the moment in which the country’s literate elite reflected about a project of a nation and about the construction of a national dramatic art. The focus of this thesis is, therefore, to locate Sarah Bernhardt’s tours in this panorama. More than a study about French “theatrical influence” in Brazil, our main goal is to ponder about the construction of the Brazilian artistic practice in a context of a broader process of cultural globalization in the 19th century, in which theater played a fundamental role. In what concerns Sarah Bernhardt specifically, this thesis intends to demonstrate the actress’s relevance in this phenomenon. Sarah was a great media star and, at the same time, associated to the french theater erudite repertoire. It attempts, therefore, to understand in what way this “repertory theater” is internationally broadcasted, also impregnating itself with commercial strategies common to the period’s theater industry. In that sense, the construction of the actress’s image abroad, specially in Brazil, is questioned. Also, what part of the cultural “market” Sarah Bernhardt and her managers tried to dominate is evaluated. In other words, how did the actress became Sarah Barnum, with a flair of ambassador of the génie français ?

Full textThe world where nodier lived in during his child hood and his youth put the theatre on the top of his preoccupations, making him an enthusiastic spectator, a pertinent critic and a fertile author, though rarely performed. His admiration for the great classics and shakespeare, who he praises in his dole's litterature conferences and in the newspapers, his frequentation of the theatre world, lead with a certain efficiency only to a whole series of dramatic feuilletons in the journal des debats (1814) (except some creations of which there is very few left); his ideas are classic although he accepts the rights of the genius. - his theatrical carreer covers the 1820-1828 period ; he is the author (jointly) of five plays which show some original characteristics : the frenetic inspiration, the genre -half popular, half litterary- between the melodrama and the romantic drama, the subjects coming from the foreign theatre which he defends actively and with conviction in the newspapers. - however, in his fifties, nodier shows a significant turning point : he doesn't go to the theatre anymore, his creation changes, the tale replaces the drama ; the actress reappears, as a myth ; the criticism hands o- ver to the account of real-life experience ; after having tried the pantomime for a while, nodier rediscovers the qualities of the pup- pets, which he considers now as the essential theatre, incarnating the eminent worths liberty and childhood spirit, satisfying the ima- gination and the sensitiveness

Full textThis doctoral dissertation explores the role that historical theatre played in the process of nation-building in Peru between the mid-nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. Local theatre’s dynamics mirrored the development of nation-building in this country. The period under study is of particular complexity in Peruvian history, and it allows us to understand the difficulties arising between the construction of the nation and the development of a Peruvian national identity. This research focuses on Lima, Peru’s capital city. It demonstrates that the historical dramas written in this period, even when not all of them were set on stage, sometimes conveyed a realistic image of the past whereas other times that representation was fictitious. These plays expressed the middle and/or upper classes’ national aspirations and ideals. Most play writers and the audiences that attended the plays belonged to the middle and/or upper classes and considered themselves as liberals. This dissertation also argues that Peruvian historical theatre only evolved in circumstances in which the local elites were filled by nationalist enthusiasm and optimism about Peru’s contemporary present and future

Full textBased on the Polysystem Theory of Itamar Even-Zohar, this thesis aims to study the translation and adaptation of Molière’s theatre plays in China. The purpose of the author is to focus on the influence of the socio-historical factors in the transmission of the works of the great French playwriter in China, and identify the dominant traits of the translation and adaptation of each era. This thesis is divided into three parts. The first part, after a preview of the first encounter between the western theater and the Chinese public in the late 19th and early 20th century, is dedicated to the study of the first Chinese version of the play L’Avare. Then, the Chinese translation of Molière’s works in the modern era (between 1919 and 1949) is considered in terms of two questions: why the translators during the New Culture Movement couldn’t resist the literalist temptation, and why this strategy has given way to adaptation in the next decades? The last part focuses on the fate of the Molière’s plays in contemporary China. Molière’s comedies were first promoted by the regime to the rank of literary canon before being entirely excluded from the Chinese scene during the Cultural Revolution. With the end of political disorder, his plays have aroused interest among the Chinese public, and have encouraged new translations or adaptations

Full textNowadays, at the time of the cinematographic development, the adaptation falls under a dynamics which makes increasing great strides, but it has a long tradition which goes up at the XVII century. The novel of Benito Pérez Galdós, whose theatricalness of prose had aften been advanced by literary cristicism, thus was the subject of several adatations, notammently theatrical adaptation of its novels, among wich Marianela, Fortunata y Jacinta and Misericordia, carried to the save by the brothers Alvarez Quintero, Ricardo López Aranda and Alfredo Mañas. The analysis of the process of theatrical adjustament of novels in this study evokes the suppresion of descriptions, the clarification of the intrigue, the oralisation and dramatization likely to clarify the parameters of the theatricalness: the space, fictional time and his report at the real time of the representation the dialogue spoken about the character condensation of the fable The process about textual transformation thus makes it possible to determine various specifities specific to the novel and with the theatre; one perceives in the concrete one what is novel pure and one detects the power of the theatre which, by the presence of the actors, exerts a particular authority on the public
Einman, Maria. "Lector in drama. Les enjeux fictionnels et imaginaires du suicide dans le théâtre français du XIXe siècle." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA048/document.
Full textThis study examines the reading of drama texts as the reading of fictional texts, aiming to broaden the current approach according to which the reading of drama texts is mainly limited to text analysis. This question is examined in the light of the issue of suicide in 19th-century French drama. The principal aim of this study is therefore to understand the impact of the character’s suicide on the reader via the detailed analysis of the ins and outs of the suicidal act. The study applies Vincent Jouve’s concept of the virtual reader, who is defined as an implicit and atemporal recipient of the text effects. This reader emerges in a fictional world that is supported by an operative device (dispositif) based on the Lacanian triptych of the Real, the Symbolic and the Imaginary.The dissertation consists of five chapters. The theoretical discussion is followed by four chapters that deal, respectively, with melodrama, romantic drama, naturalist drama, and symbolist drama. In addition to the effect of the fictional suicide on the reader (which is systematically connected to the catharsis), the evolution of theatrical genres and forms is explored from the perspective of “virtual” reading. Thereby, the reading of 19th-century French drama could be viewed as a journey from the optimistic certainty of melodrama to the tragic indeterminacy of symbolist drama, from actual to probable suicides, from “sorrowful” catharsis to anticatharsis

Full textIn the last decade of the 19th century, works of Lugné-Poe and Antoine experiment a new aesthetic representation and search the essence of the theatrical invention in the mise en scène. The director (metteur en scène) becomes the author; toa certain extent, sometimes, s/he takes the predominant role. Throughout the 20th century, the evolution of the directing (mise en scène) accelerates abruptly and it is so violent and sometimes it reaches to a state of anarchy. This is why the aesthetics of oriental scenic tradition, which goes through reproducible art forms, even stereotypical, could provide beacon and safeguards.Paul Claudel is the first person who acquires knowledge about the Orient due to his long stays in Asia. He incorporates the oriental traditions, cultures and philosophies in his playwriting, and proposes new epic and lyric forms in theater, likeone sees in The shoe of satin and Christophe Columbus. Proposing a symbolist theater, he had staged real poems which reflect his cosmology and his poetic vision. Claudel had achieved what Jean-Louis Barrault dreamed of -the "total theater."In the early 20th century, several colonial exhibitions introduced the East to the West. They gave Westerners an opportunity of directly absorbing the oriental scenic tradition. The formalists acting— sacred and aesthetics— in symbolic poetry attractsintellectuals and artists. Particularily, the representations of Sada Yacco and Mei Lan-fang were most enthusiastically received. The theoretical directors were passionate about the expressive and metaphorical acting of their robust,well-proportioned yet flexible bodies, about their moderate and discreet attitude, which were shaped by the ancient Eastern traditions. Although there were slight differences among various Asian theaters, they were grouped under the common name of "Oriental Theatre". In this sense, I would like to analyze the impacts caused by three major events of the western theater history in Europe: the successive visitings of troupe Sada Yacco in 1901, the Colonial Exhibition in 1931, and the arrival of Mei Lan-Fang in 1935. At the same time, we should trace the origins and common characteristics of Asian theaters.When the innovative artists discovered the eastern theater, they were overcame by the authenticity of its theatricality and they mirror the Western theater in opposition to the Eastern theater, in which they denounce the shortcomings of Westerntheatrical convention. The oriental scenic tradition shows them the paradoxical aesthetic: (1) unornamented decoration yet enriching in the metaphorical layout; (2) stylized artificial acting but realistic-details revealing; (3) short performance butrequiring long-term training; (4) creations constrained by tradition but set free by the talent of artist; (5) one theatrical art integrating various arts.Referring to these oriental characteristic forms, Craig seeks to find a "definite form", Meyerhold tends to establish a new convention of theatricality. As for Brecht, he goes further into developing theory, and his writing aims to produce the effect of"alienation." Artaud, on the other hand, wants to "terminate the masterpieces" and allow real stage language to speak for itself.After these pioneers who discovered sources from the Orient, directors who follow these doctrines such as Grotowski, Barba, Brook, and Ariane Mnouchkine turn their spiritual search and introspective towards the Orient, in hopes of generating their own aesthetics which could be realized in practice. Therefore, their creations reflect not merely Eastern traditions nor do they apply only Western conventions, but they are fertilized and born out of their appropriation to the Orient, mingled with these directors’ own personality, their "tribe" and their cultural preferences

Full textIn the second half of the nineteenth century, Molière's comedies were seen as a fertile source of material for Ottoman playwrights eager to bring new ideas to the popular dramatic arts and to create a new form of national theater. This dissertation concentrates on two primary ways that French theater was transmitted to the theater-going public in the nineteenth century : First, plays that traveled in their original language ; and secondly, translations and adaptations of the French plays most popular at the time. This dissertation aims to analyze Molière's theater in all the complex ways it was transmitted throughout the Ottoman Empire during the Age of Reforms. This dissertation proposes a new perspective on the history of modern Turkish theater, underlining the transformation that the popular dramatic arts went into in the midst of the growing popularity of Molière's theater in the capital and the effect of French theater stars coming to what was a lively and cosmopolitan Istanbul
Johansson, Franz. "Le corps dans le théâtre de Paul Valéry." Paris 4, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040059.
Full textAmong all the literary genres, theatre deals with the human body in a unique way: not only is the body figured in a play but it also becomes a substance, an instrument, a presence on the stage. A playwright will always, in some way or another, be confronted with the body in the meaning of its biological constitution, its shape and movement, its resources and limitations and, ultimately, its essence. Theatre is therefore one of the most interesting fields for studying Valéry’s approach to the human body : in no other part of his work does the writer embrace the body in such an immediate, complex, profound - and nonetheless problematic and ambiguous -way. Valéry is an immense artist of the body. The first part of this work explores how Valéry contemplates the experience of theatrical embodiment: do his dramatic works and projects need and call on the actor’s active matter ? Or do they, at least, tolerate it ? The second part analyses the different ways in which Valéry’s aesthetic principles incorporate the presence and movement of the body in dramatic writing: how are the expressive means of the actor seized and transformed by artistic conventions, processes or techniques ? The last part aims to specify the conceptions of the body that emerge from Valéry’s plays and drafts: what does this theatre, as a language of the body, tell us about the human body ?

Full textFor a long time Ippolito Nievo’s (1831-1861) theatrical production was considered less important than his work of narrative and was considered as “juvenile work”. On the contrary, during the last ten years of the Nineteenth century, it was reconsidered and it brought to the discovery of several comic texts, such as Le Invasioni Moderne and Il Pindaro Pulcinella, which have showed Nievo’s cleverness in writing plays for the theatre.The edition of the last unpublished production, which is presented in this essay, completes and broadens the studies done on Nievo’s theatre, at the same time, opening several doors for a possible reconsideration of some critical points of Nievo’s literary aesthetics. From the study of the unpublished texts produced before Le Confessioni di un Italiano, in fact, Nievo’s dependence on French literature appeared, especially Balzac, Stendhal and George Sand. The setting of I Beffeggiatori –a political comedy which portrays Italy in 1852-1853 – and its study of the characters recalls the Chartreuse de Parme by Stendhal, his ironical glance at political happenings told by Balzac and it moves away totally from contemporary comic theatre. Don Giovanni –notes for a comic text in verses- results from Stendhalian considerations on the figure of the Seduttore, considerations which we can find in the De l’Amour and in the short story Les Cenci; but Don Giovanni also results from the whole French post-Byron tradition of the myth. Consuelo – the libretto- reveals a clear and evident Sandian matrix in its plot and allows to formulate a theory on the aesthetic Nievian music, full of Mazzinian considerations, well known to Sand too.The edition of these texts has allowed to reformulate some judgements on the origin of Nievo’s irony, even in L’Afrodisiaco per l’amor platonico and in Lettere a Matilde, underlining a matrix which is decidedly and only French
Giusti, Jean-Paul. "Machado De Assis et le théâtre." Thesis, Paris 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA030148.
Full textMachado de Assis’first ambition ever was Drama. His is the work of an exalted poet, though sober and contained, apparently discreet and inwardly irrepressible: it sets itself as harmoniously classic in facture. On stage and with effective plots, Machado de Assis provided the theatrical language, which he utterly mastered, with a new function, made of the restlessness and excitability that disturbed and renewed Brazilian theatre in the 1860s and 70s from an aesthetical point of view. His approach as a playwright would cause misunderstanding and unsettle contemporary critics of his time, to date. Interprets have to take his theatre onto the stage, to root it physically and concretely, avoiding too much affectation or lyricism. On that condition only will underlying conflicts become apparent. In Machado, there is a definite, aware restlessness in willing to make a viable sum so as to durably lay the foundations of Brazilian dramaturgy of his time. In parallel, the writer started a career as a theatre critic, hoisting the practice to a high office, as indeed the genre had, before him, been widely despised as lacking legitimacy. Here, the journalist and chronicle writer presents a more heterogeneous body of works showing a complexity still overlooked to date: it became a space of paradoxical tensions to understand and think theatre in a different way. Hence, Machado – a young man of not thirty years of age – would provide the discipline with an autonomy still standing today and comfort his own significance in the theatrical and intellectual milieu of his time. Such critical reflexivity, such passion for drama in general and, finally such mastery of dramatic art, would illuminate the writing of his most accomplished short stories and novels. His immense legacy as a critic undeniably owes everything to his talent as an original and wild, untamed novelist – the greatest Brazilian prose writer of all times. The playwright is overshadowed by the novelist. Nevertheless, through his theatre, Machado de Assis presents a live and labyrinthine matter, intimately linked with the social and historical fabric of his time: an artistically though unaccomplished, and far from consensual, material

Full textSince 1830, drama has taken over the Algerian conquest theme then backed the colonial expansion in North Africa, two major events which marked French political life from the 19th century to the early 20th century. As a real social and cultural overall phenomenon, it has strongly contributed to impose the colonial spirit and the empire idea into people's minds. But to what extent exactly has it played a cultural role in this expansion and domination policy? At what frequency and with which inflexions? Which representations of the "Arab" has drama conveyed, and how has it transformed them into an ideological discourse, through a live performance received by a given audience? Has it also been a place of distancing, even contesting colonization? Otherness is put into words with drama, but it is also and mostly brought onto the scene through the body and the voice of the actor, almost always French and white. The other "native", the one who puts question, worries or fascinates, gains an enhanced visibility, for the time of the performance. Otherness is reduced to stereotypes by some authors while others call them into question. The image of the Arab – but also of the Kabylian, the Tuareg, and the mixed-race – has followed the ideological currents that have underlain the great steps of the colonial expansion, until the beginnings of the decolonization movement. On the aesthetic level, is the representation of the "Arab" the opportunity of a renewal in terms of performance, language, setting, and costumes? Does seeking "exoticism" in spectacular forms give sometimes way to concern about meeting and knowing, or acknowledging, the other? The literary, cultural, social and historical significance of the subject requires to mobilize and cross aesthetic, dramaturgic, sociocritical and post colonial approaches

Full textÉmile Augier, Alexandre Dumas fils and Victorien Sardou appear among the most important dramatists of the Second Empire era (1852-1870). In this thesis, comedies of manners of these authors are considered from a “socio-poetical” point of view. Rules of etiquette and good manners are analyzed in their dramatic and theatrical function. Theatrical aesthetic of manners which includes locality (Paris), characters (mondaines and demi-mondaines, mondains and servants), and media of communication (letters and cards), is examined first. Afterwards, spectacular aspects of good manners are studied : “distinction”, greeting’s gesture, outfits and “arts de la table”. Components of rules of etiquette lead to think of a certain dramaturgy of good manners which are characteristic of comedy of manners. This dramaturgy, which is considered as ‘old fashioned’ by some people, reflects however typical manners of an epoch

Full textBecause they seemingly have to make the dialog work as well as to construct theperformance, because they seem to encroach upon the director’s grounds and yet cannot level with the magic of the actual staging, because they are not a real piece of literature nor do they belong to the show, the stage directions have long been overlooked by theater studies. In the past few years, a mild interest has arisen. On the one hand, linguists describe in a synchronic fashion the generic features of this particular type of discourse. On the other hand, critics wish to seize the specificity of each author’s stage directions, with an emphasis on the breaches of their theoretical functional purity.In this thesis, we intend to go beyond this fragmented approach by offering an overall poetics of stage directions and, in order for it to carry meaning, weight and nuance, we choose to base it on history and, specifically, on XXth century theater, from Villiers to Koltès, an enlarged century, deeply rooted in the XIXth and already glancing at the XXIst. It is then that stage directions redefine themselves as a result of the advent of the director and his coming to power ;it is then that they spectacularly travel out of joint but appear, nonetheless, incapable or unwilling to get rid altogether of their fundamental usefulness. Unequivocally, they prove to be a form of speech limping “one foot in duty, on foot in desire”, an icarian discourse reconciling what is theoretically opposed.This study starts with the format of the stage directions, their territory, their enunciation (i.e. the exact role they play in the dramatic communication), their graphic characteristics (punctuation, typography, lay-out). Then, we investigate the very fabric of stage directions writing, the perpetual tension between the pact that rules them (clarity, economy) and a fundamental drive to become something else (to become stage, to become poem, to become novel…)

Full textThe study of procedures used in parodies of Hernani in 1830, together with an edition of manuscripts of Harnali, N, I, ni and Oh! Qu’Nenni, of censors’ reports, and of different printed versions, show that parodies of Hernani are at the same time informed by the play that serves as an initial model and by cultural intertexts with which they establish a dialogue. Performance conventions of the time, as well as public taste, create a paradoxical situation in which parodies act as subversive imitation in the service of a norm. Indeed, parodic deconstruction becomes a source of construction of plays which, pointing out the incoherencies and improbabilities in Hernani, create their place in a type of performance that is unique to them. Beyond simple criticism, satire, or imitation of an earlier play through style, intertextuality, and genre, parodies also reflect an image of the context of the times and of plays performed on secondary theatres. These parodies are thus plays in their own right, a part of contemporary style of acting and of the use of airs and refrains in Parisian secondary theatres in 1830
