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

Full textThe 18th century historiography of French theatre opens with a series of ecclesiastical works which make this history an instrument against dance and theatre, though there are some sharp retorts. Beginning in 1730 several theatre histories appear. Authors such as Brumoy, Riccoboni, Maupoint and Beauchamps, who are mainly not scholars but often have ties to professionnal theatre, engage in research in both public and private libraries, using collections of wealthy theatre lovers as well as the medium of press and the erudition of private individuals. Fontenelle had opened the door with his History of French Theatre which served as a beacon for its sources, framework, literary style and above all his intelligent reading of the past, whitch ruptured the thread of those publications that were either for or against the theatre. Empowered, our historians organize their material according to known models : Renaissance bibliographies give them the matrix for lists of authors of plays. Previously unseen original material as well as extracts and analyses are published. They create a virtual history of drama and theatre. This history offers them a new space where they can reflect on cultural relevance regarding the relationship of dominant moral and religious values. The essays of academicians accompany this mouvement. Their disciples are journalists, encyclopaedists or 'literay bohemians'. Publications of almanachs and dictionaries which chronicle the history of the times multiply, amassing materiel that will be left to succeeding generations to sort out. Solicited by the misomimes, they invest their energy in reforming a theatre which for them is an engrossing utopia , a place where they sometimes display astonishing ingenuity. They are called Mouhy, Du Coudray, Rétif or Nougaret. With the passing of the century, Suard returns to Fontenelle's History of French Theatre, paving the way for Sainte-Beuve

Full textThe study of the plays given in Paris between 1880 and 1914 and selected from l'illustration, its theatre supplement and the revue des deux mondes, shows that many foreign plays appear on the parisian stage : British plays in the 1880's, Scandinavian drama in the 1890's and Italian, German and Slavonic plays in the early twentieth century. Besides, French drama gives a reflection of reality through middle class eyes. In term of numbers the first social group on the stage, the middle classes, are also represented in a favourable light. The other social groups (nobility, peasants, the working class and artists) looked at from the middle class point of view, are laughed at, despised or hated. Finally the mains reasons for middle class fears appear on the stage : social problems, religious preoccupations, questions about the emancipation of women and children from male authority, the legalization of divorce and specially patriotic fears in a period which is more and more characterized by international tensions between France and Germany in the immediate pre-first-world war period
Di, Bella Sarah. "L'expérience théâtrale dans l'oeuvre théorique de Luigi Riccobini : contribution à l'histoire du théâtre au XVIIIe siècle." Paris 10, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA100159.
Full textTaking its point of departure in the theoretical writings of Italian actor Luigi Riccoboni (1676-1753) this study proposes a reflection on the relationship between the theory and the experience of theatre. The writings of Riccoboni on the artistic and historical dimensions of theatre reveal a genuine theory of experience, encompassing both the concrete practice and the sedimentated Erlebnis. From this theory emerges the professionalism of theater and a genuine disciplinarian discourse. In this reformatory project, the disciplinarian discourse and the social ambitions of Riccoboni converge in a panoptic vision of the very space of theater. Luigi Riccoboni leads his combat, on which his social success depends, by connecting the discourse on the art of the comedian to the disciplinarian language of the "honorable" social practices which were present in both political thought on disciplinary surveillance as well as in the contemporary social rites of freemasonry

Full textHenriot, Eric. "Prosper Mérimée et le théâtre." Nancy 2, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007NAN21007.
Full textThe literary career of Mérimée does not begin with his first short stories. Since 1825, the Clara Gazul's theatre has been an important factor in the battle new playrights have fought to liberate the stage from the still strong presence of classical tragedy. His writing of theatre plays continued, albeit irregularly, throughout his life. This study is a plea for the recognition of this theatre and of his dramatical qualities. A lot of relationships, many theatral innovations, a real participation in the literary battles of the 1830ies predispose Mérimée to be interested in dramatical writing. The inventory of the works and their possible performances, the comparison beetween other contemporary creations, the observation of his theoretical texts, of the different forewords and of the public reception of this production, give an idea of this successful theatre in the 19th century and of his importance in the artistic creation of this time. The literary analysis of these plays, concerning the structure, the protagonists, the choice of the places and of the times, of the local colour and of the style confirms the extraordinary effectiveness of this underservedly neglected theatre

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

Full textThe art of statuary in the Elizabethan and Jacobean era has suffered from the repercussions of several centuries of political and religious instability. However, early modern England proved particularly interested in, if not totally fascinated by, Italian and Flemish artists famous for their artistic and theoretical approach to sculpture. Although many studies have already been made on painting and the problematic place of images in Reformation England, only a few books have focused on three-dimensional images and on their reception.My dissertation therefore seeks to analyze the political, religious and cultural context in which the statues were inscribed at the time, on the one hand, and to precisely reassess the ways in which they appeared on the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage, on the other hand.First, I pay attention to the historical events and texts in which statues have had a prominent place, taking into account the legal aspect related to the production of early modern images. This leads me to study from a more literary perspective major plays from the Shakespearean corpus such as Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra and The Winter's Tale. Finally, I seek to highlight the art of stasis and statuary in the Jacobean drama by focusing on the moments of immobility and petrification of the characters in George Chapman’s Bussy d’Ambois, John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi, and Thomas Middleton’s A Game at Chess.The double objective of this thesis is, in fine, to compare the impact of the statue and its representations on stage on two different types of audience both belonging to the early modern era (one Elizabethan, the other Jacobean), and to prove the importance of the statuary within the dramatic universe of Shakespeare and his contemporaries

Full textThis thesis aims at demonstrating that the representation of the sitxteenth century is a criterion which defines Romantic theatre. First, it underscores the relationship between playwhrights and their sources, which enlightens the Romantic taste of the sixteenth century and shows the establishment of a dramatic heritage and of the safeguard of a poetic that wants to break away from the classic theatrical tradition. Then, it focuses on Romantic-sixteenth- century favourite settings : France during the time of Francis the First, Spain (and Empire) of Charles the Fifth and then of Philip the Second, France during the period of the Religious Wars, and finally England and Italy
Filippi, Bruna. "La scène jésuite : le théâtre scolaire au Collège romain au XVIIe siècle." Paris, EHESS, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994EHES0333.
Full textProduction of theatrical performances at the roman college in the 17th. Century is analyzed from two perspectives: in one, placing this pedagogical theater in the context of jesuit educational me thods, while in the other, following the developement of the dramaturgic model and of the theatrical structure in one of the most significant cultural expressions of baroque rome. Withing the colle ge the rhetoric class was chosen as the milieu for elaboratind and learning the numerous specific exercises intended to train the actor-orator. This was the ideal objective of the society of jesus's educational system. A collection of plot summaries relating to the theatrical performances held at the roman college and seminary, has thus made it possible to single out the structural components of the "christian traged" and to describe their development through the course of the century. Finally, through the historical accunt of a student uprising which occurred during a carnival performance in 1647, social roles and the internal relations of life in the college are described, as are the wordly aspect and ludic function of jesuit theater

Full textThe study analyses the ways by which a social group consumed and produced a world of goods in order to shape its own social and cultural identity. With a view to reconstruct the social and cultural uses of things in a city which underwent deep commercial and spatial changes, the thesis identifies the nature and forms of the Parisian bourgeoisie’s consumption, through private and business archives. It studies how the bourgeois home was redefined in flat and in the growing city and how daily technology forged the bourgeoise’s private scenography and self-awareness. It studies then the material culture of 19th century Parisian bourgeoisie, understood as a set of signs and narratives designed by dealers and consumers, whilst industrialisation radically transformed the nature and hierarchy of materials and commodities. Finally, this work sheds light on phenomenons of imitation and distinction as social mobility increased and analyses how fashion trends came to being onto specific urban scenes, through the mediating role of taste legislators and the means of new forms of urban advertising

Full textEven though they live on good terms (and especially during the baroque age), death and tragedy are not to be depending one from another: a play could be called "tragedy", not because of the powerful reign of death, but in consideration of the very nature of the situations; and death itself could, instead of dramatizing the action, "dedramatizing" the latter
Losco-Lena, Mireille. "La réinvention de l'espace et du temps dans le théâtre symboliste." Paris 3, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA030111.
Full textSymbolist theatre, as it developed in France and Belgium towards the end of the nineteenth century (1890- 1900), ventured towards a renewal of play-writing. The theorizing discourse of the authors is characterized by a denial of the real and a reassessment of the poetic which remains often vague ; yet their plays stand as tokens of a richness which transmutes their idealist reaction into a genuine reinvention of space and time marked by a concern for discontinuity and plurality. While addressing the modem transformations of the notions of space and time, the symbolist cosmos thus reactivates the medieval pattern of space (part one). This generates a poetics of relavity which jeopardizes dramatic forms, and which the symbolists set out to transcend along two main paths: that of the dramatic structure of wander on the one hand, seen as a tentative process of inventoring the multiple loci of the cosmos, which ceaselessly comes up against some sense of infinity overflowing the structure of the drama, thereby pointing to its incompleteness, or to its fragmentation (part two); and, on the other hand, the path of the short form, governed by a desire to embrace and to possess the invisible, which, on its part, is necessarily bound to come up against (and acknowledge) the irreducible chasm that cuts it from the being (part three). Studying the formal contradictions inherent to symbolist drama thus allows us to address its inscription within the larger frame of the revolutions in drama at the turn of the century, and especially the essential role which this theatre played in the process of setting drama in jeopardy
Coulaud, Sandra. "Crime, histoire et politique : la représentation du régicide dans le théâtre anglais et français au tournant du XVIe et du XVIIe siècle." Thesis, Paris 4, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA040070.
Full textThe regicide is a topical crime between the sixteenth and the seventeenth-century. It is an object of many reflections and an actual event for french and english people. In both kingdom, there are debates on this issue while the schism has begun a reality. Because of the controversy, it is possible to speack about régicide as a punishment. Playwrighters perform this problematic subject. Jacques de Fonteny represent the murder of Henri Ird, Claude Billard de Courgenay represent Henri IVrth’s one, Antoine de Montchrestien represent the execution of Marie Stuart, Shakespeare and Marlowe perform the murders of Richard IInd et Edward IInd. A priori, such subject can move the audience. Nevertheless, such a performance isn’t an evidence. How, indeed, can a playwrighter show such an enormous crime during troubled period ? How can he justify the show in a crisis context ? Playwrighters have to consider ideological and aesthetic restrictions, which are sometimes in contradiction, to perform the murder of the sovereign. In many cases, they rewright history. Because the crime is usually ineffective as a politic action, it is effective for dramatic art. Tyranny justify that the prince is murdered. Some moral failures make this one acceptable. And because the king is falling, he appears as a pathetic victim for the spectators. When it is difficult to show the crime scene, the regicide is described by a messenger
Peyré, Yves. "La mythologie dans la tragédie élisabéthaine." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA040013.
Full textThe analysis of mythological expression in Elizabethan tragedy rests on a study of the functions and conceptions of mythology in the culture of the English Renaissance. A diversity of mythographic approaches led to multiple, simultaneous readings of each myth, while inviting reflection on the problems of interpretation. At the same time, mythology contributed to literary and religious controversies. The emergence of a fashion for mythical elaboration centred on the sovereign paralleled that of scientific scepticism. Tragedy, which explores the magnifying and belittling potentialities of mythological rhetoric, and sets in play symbolic structures that progress from allegory to irony, raises questions about the nature and role of signs. Mythology, a language of stimulating syntheses also expressive of deep fractures, is used to create dramatic tension or ironic effects of anamorphosis in which it may be possible to apprehend what the Elizabethan mind viewed as tragic, that is to say, whatever undermined the combined ideals of renovatio and integratio. Finally, in exploring the expressive potentialities of mythology, the Elizabethans may have arrived at an intuitive inkling of what would become the concept of myth, as related to tragedy
Hausermann, Christophe. "Apprentis et apprentissage dans les comédies citadines élisabéthaines." Thesis, Paris 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA030110.
Full textIn Elizabethan times, apprenticeship marked the beginning of a long professional journey. After completing his training, the young craftsman was granted his freedom and became a full member of the livery company that had hired him. This status of freeman gave him London's citizenship and compelled him to exert his civic rights and duties. Every apprenticeřs ambition was to become in his turn a master and a householder. His upward mobility depended on his ability to comply with his master's judgment until he obtained his freedom. Many Elizabethan playwrights staged the training of apprentices, thus making the apprentice a stock character, criticising his excesses and praising his high deeds. Through the representation of apprenticeship, city comedies have faithfully described the life of the City and that of its livery companies

Full textThis study realized during the era of illustrated editing in the 17th century examines how images are the product of a number of factors suseptible to multitude of analysis. This illustrated editing crosses several fields of expertise : literary, editorial, political, artistical. The first idea given by Horace in the Ut pictura poesis enables the image to become complementary to the written material at every level : internally with the icon context of the frontispiece, externally in relation to the introductory elements or, in its link to the dramatical text that it represents, in a litteral and allegorical level that aims for the uplifting enlightenment of the reader. There exists as intimate a connection between painting and poetry (Ut pictura poesis) as there is between painting and drama (Ut pictura theatrum). The parallism is made is three ways : metaphoric (comparative mode), esthetical (crossed thoughts between drama and painting) and scenic (scenography based on pictoral models)
Aragonès, Riu Núria. "Iconographie des Petits Théâtres en France au XVIIIe siècle." Paris 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA030028.
Full textDiffering from the history of painting which is based on the physical existence of the studied object, theatre art history – where the object of study is by definition an ephemeral piece of art – is elaborated by the assembly of documental sources (images and texts) that the theatre historian uses to analyse the missing object. Theatre iconography has to be studied through an interdisciplinary approach in which the methodology of theatre historians is combined with that of painting historians. Our departing hypothesis is that the analysis of form and style of the image can provide many plausible interpretations for theatre history. In addition, the consideration of the social and cultural context of the epoch (issues on the production, function and destination of the image) will allow the reinterpretation of known images as well as an interpretation for previously unknown images. The analysed sample is made of images having as subject “petits spectacles” in eighteenth-century France (mainly in Paris), that is to say fair theatres, theatres of the boulevard du Temple, Palais-Royal spectacles and other kind of street theatre (puppets, charlatans, singers, etc. ) that composed the non-official theatre life of the eighteenth-century. Through the iconographic analysis we will find a dynamic and transformable image, with multiple forms and functions, that covers current theatre events by using in some occasions traditional pictorial records. The interdisciplinary approach of theatre iconography opens new multiple fields of study that will advance our knowledge on the theatre of the past
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

Full textIn the 18th century, theatre deeply altered perception. Theatrical arts introduced a new perception of image. Painting could not in any way miss this type of evolution. Dramatical authors brought a large contribution to this critical perception. In their works, they convey a different image for the painter and his work. Public grows increasingly demanding. Painting is ridiculed. Painting is contested. In the 17th century, painting and theatre are two truly different kinds of art. When theatre is concerned, the image appears to be steady. In tragedies, motion is reduced. The setting of the stage is generally closed. With paintings, characters must show a lot of motion and sceneries are generally open. In the 18th century, theatre goes through a change. Players act very naturally. Decors become close to reality. Thus, theatre shows lively images. On the other hand, painting appears to be lifeless. Art critics convey this new image. Historical paintings are described as still lives. Theorical texts about theater, from Noverre, Engel, are the testimony of this evolution. . Authors state that theatre only can bring an impression of life. Thus, historical painting is not source of delusion any more. As it altered public's expectation, theatre compelled painting to go through a change
Coffin, Charlotte. "Echanges mythologiques dans le théâtre de shakespeare." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040052.
Full textShakespearean drama is permeated with mythological references, with more than 850 allusions disseminated throughout the 38 plays in the canon. While critics have deployed a sophisticated approach to these references, they can also be understood as a commonplace discourse, made up of conventions shared by the general public. Thus it is necessary to reconstruct the conventions that shaped popular mythological culture, as well as to explore the poetic implications of the convention. Romantic theory introduced an antithesis between creation and convention which has resulted in the dismissal of the latter in favour of the former. Yet convention is not rigid but dynamic, as is shown by the exchanges that constitute the main axis of this work. With both concrete and symbolic implications, the concept encompasses the notions of mobility (displacing and adapting ) and negotiation (giving and gaining). The analysis unfolds on the three districts planes of context, text and stage. The fisrt part assesses the range of Elizabethan mythological culture, and shows how cheap prints and familiar images contributed to spreading conventional myths throuhout society. The central part is dedicated to textual references : inscribed within a specific dramatic situation, they participate in rhetorical persuasion, as well as in poetic reformulation. Though they may sond like "dead metaphors", trivialized by commonplace-books and transplanted from one text to another, mythological commonplaces function as exploratory tools in the world of the play. Finally, the analysis of gods and heroes on stage details the relationships between the conventional and the spectacular
Teulade, Anne. "Le théâtre hagiographique en France et en Espagne au dix-septième siècle : essai de poétique comparée." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040179.
Full textThis dissertation presents a comparative study of the French and Spanish seventeenth century hagiographic drama. The first part is devoted to the theoretical problems raised by the two genres : a study of the generic terminologies, of the places where the plays were staged, and of the way their contemporaries (theorists and playwrights) considered them thus allows us to draw the outline of an essentially hybrid theatre. Indeed, in the two countries, it seems contradictory to associate a saint's life and a theatrical form. The second part presents a dramatic analysis of the plays. We show how the authors managed to integrate the figure of the saint in a real dramatic plot despite his passionless nature. The structures of the dramas rely on a conflict between the saint and his circle, on a conversion of the hero himself, or on a series of adventures through which the saint becomes an epic hero. This part reveals that the theatrical forms created by the French and the Spanish authors are less divergent than the traditional opposition between Spanish and French aesthetics of this period suggests. Finally, the third part deals with the spectacle of saintliness. We study how the playwrights succeeded in transforming the inward and unspectacular character of the saint into a living spectacle before the other characters' eyes. Being a perfect character, this specific hero cannot arouse the fear and pity Aristotle described and generates instead works in which admiration is the prominent aesthetic effect. These works thus rely on specific poetics which this dissertation attempts to define
Kerautret, Flavie. "Le phénomène « Bruscambille » : édition, théâtre, actualité." Thesis, Paris 10, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020PA100091.
Full textLiterary history conveys an image of Bruscambille that is linked to the world of farce and mountebanks, and portrays him as a minor author of the early 17th century. However, the extent of the success of his collections of prologues was such that, in the space of a few years, dozens of editions invaded the book market, while very few dramatic works of the time met the same fate. In order to understand the mechanisms of this success and identify what lies behind the name of “Bruscambille”, we propose to approach it as a phenomenon, and not only as an actor or singular author. This supposes to study his renown as the result of an elaboration due to various publishing operations, which involve various agents who are sometimes difficult to identify. That is how we analyse how “Bruscambille” is the product of a historiographical and editorial construction, composed of different features unified under the name of the author, the aesthetic and socio-economic components of which we then describe. As the prologues are gathered for publication in various booklets (the collection of which then became one of the most important unit in the “Bruscambille” system), their function is modified : cleared of their part as introductory discourses, the prologues can better fulfill a pragmatic role. They program the conditions of representation and socially and symbolically promote theater and its actors. More broadly, they appear as opportune places to discuss and shape various events of the time, through the use of comic and cryptic expression. Starting from the case of Bruscambille, it is the interferences, ever more numerous and complex, between the world of print, the world of theater and the society of the time that can be examined

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

Full 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

This new rule decreed that within one act, at least one a character must appear in the two successive scenes. This rule completely changed the aspect of plays in the long term. It imposed an aesthetics of continuity that broke with the discontinuity that had prevailed up until then. In plays from the beginning of the century, action progressed by the juxtaposition of scenes that each presented different characters, thus permitting the playwright to introduce abrupt changes in place, time, and situation. On the contrary, the plays that respect the rule of connection between scenes can no longer count on the intermission alone to renew completely the characters present on stage. Within each act, the action must evolve by successive shifts in meaning, each scene conserving a part of the parameters of the preceding scene. By shedding light on the choices the playwright confronts, the difference between these two aesthetics bares witness to the importance of dramatic composition: writing a play is not simply imagining a plot, but rather giving it a visual form and specifically a theatrical one. This dissertation thesis, then, is interested in both the stakes of the rule for linking scenes itself, and more generally, in the poetics of the positioning of scenes, and in dramatic “editing” with which the playwright engages in order to give body to fiction

Full textThe first part clearly shows that parisians never stopped enjoying tragedy. From noble to workers, everybody goes to the theatre, and do agree to applaude as much the great classical masterpieces, as the new tragedies, which does not exclude a few particuliarities. Third part includes the results of the analysis of the theater box-office books. Second part tries to describe the structural evolution of the style, to understand how the authors have used the racinian pattern. Quite obviously, xviiith century tragedy is not really racinian anymore, although it is still classical. More and more it stresses show, movement, rythms (both of the different characters and of the play itself), to the prejudice of the text and more or less of the unities. Third part studies the themes mainly used by the authors. Love is one of the most, although theoricians tend to desagree, terror comes back as soon as 1680, and will stay a favourite until the end of the old regime. Ancient themes remain, but more recent history and the new fashion for exotism also open new ways. Anyway, whatever the subject, theoretical discussions, political or not, remain quite important in the tragedy. Therefore, post-racinian authors wrote quite + original ; pieces, and parisians loved them. Following the classical pattern and spirit, they were able to create, to discover their own style, to please their own audience
Bara, Olivier. "Le théâtre de l'Opéra-comique entre 1822 et 1827 : la difficile recherche d'un genre moyen." Paris 3, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA030084.
Full textDuring the French Restoration, the opera comique revived when a new generation of librettists and composers appeared: the six years between 1822 and 1827, centring on Boieldieu La dame blanche (1825), were those of the first successes of auber, Hérold or Carafa, with libretti by Scribe, Planard or de Kock. A very close analysis underlines the institutional, sociological, ideological, theoretical and aesthetic tensions at play within opera comique during this short period of transition. The concept of "genre moyen" helps to apprehend this proteiform theatre at the fringe of the consecrated lyrical and dramatic genres, of the opera and the theatre, of the royal and secondary playhouses, of the popular shows and the so-called noble arts. The established bodies, thanks to the management of pixerecourt, tried to develop an honest artistic average; hesitating between a conservative and a creative theatre without ceasing to fight against the competition of vaudeville, melodrama and italian opera. The opera comique audiences and ideologies mirror the upheavals of the restoration; a compromise appeared between the extremist discourse of the first romanticism and the bourgeois world image. In the press, the theorists themselves hesitated between nostalgia for the pure genre of the ancien regime and annoyance for undemanding musical compositions. An aesthetic approach shows that the opera comique made use of a combinatorial art mixing various consecrated drama techniques, assimilating vaudeville, melodrama and rossinian vocality, and making use of both ornamental and dramatic musical forms in each work. Laughter, in opera comique, is based in fact on desacralization of forms and ironic distancing: the "genre moyen" does not carry out its aesthetic choices; as a stage for entertainment, the opera comique refused to be fully what it could have become

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
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 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

Full textFrom the end of the seventeenth century to the French Revolution, the “chinoiserie” and the passion for drama were developing in coexistence. Did these two social phenomena, lasting for almost one century, unite each other? Did they really influence the social life of France? We are naturally curious about such questions. It can be a quite good way to follow the relevant trails in the history of French theatre in order to trace out how China was apprehended by the French society. The interest about the others often reflects the inner preoccupation of the observer himself. When the French playwrights criticize or compliment China, they think rather of their own country. Therefore, the interpretation of China in the French theatre is the product not only of the information conveyed by the missionaries, the sailors and the merchants but also of the intense meditation about the French society, about its system and its rules. .

Full textSince the beginning of the 18th century, society in Russia has evolved very rapidly. Russia’s arrival in the European political landscape changed international relations as European nations learned to count with this new player. This new status also brought forth profound changes in Russian cultural behaviours: as the taste for the theater as an exclusive, enlightened form of entertainment grew among the Russian elite, its members started to share with their European counterparts a common culture and an interest in debating the role, impact and evolution of drama. Periodicals, which appeared and spread in Russia almost at the same period, were quickly identified as an exceptional means to communicate and facilitate these exchanges. They enabled both the quick transmission of the latest pieces of information and the diffusion of the background elements necessary to the reader’s general knowledge – specifically by procuring them with the references considered as essential to participate in the ongoing discussions. They also helped with building networks of journalists and zones of intertextuality, which opened the virtual discussion on an international scale.We wish to shed light on a corpus of press articles relating to the theater, mostly consisting in Russian articles little read under that angle until now, which were published in a number of journals between 1759 and 1793. The publication of these articles allows us to analyse them in their European context, engaging in a dialogue with their sources and their recipients. We will show how the transfer and the reappropriation of journalistic genres provides contributors with a space to experiment, and also enables readers/critics, who are also potentially the informed spectators of the plays, to educate themselves to new reading practices. This overall approach is compounded by more detailed analysis on how national drama productions are represented in the European press: the respective image of the Russian, French or English theater in corresponding journals also reflects relationships between countries, and the efficiency of their cultural policy strategies. At the heart of those converging or diverging interests lie questions relating to the reception of new theatrical modes of expression at the end of the century in a changed European press landscape

Full textWith the rejection of Purgatory by the Reformed Church, the ghosts became a fashionable subject in demonological debates, just as the rediscovery of Seneca encouraged spirits to haunt the European stages. The study of the relations between these two fields shows some similitude but mostly underlines the differences in apprehending the phenomenon itself : for the demonologists, the Devil always lurked behind apparitions of the souls, whereas the playwrights developed a paradoxical ghost figure insisting on its authority but questioning its reality. Beyond this contradiction, drama better than any other genre reflects the ghost's essential ambivalence, both human and supernatural, but also the ambivalence of its perception as a phenomenon, oscillating between credulity and scepticism

Full textTragedy was a genre that flourished in Italy in the 16th and 17th century of which numerous examples were dedicated to the eponymous heroines. Created in the process of rewriting (réécriture) of myths, historical narratives and various religious and literary sources, those characters bring up questions concerning the relation between women and power encouraging authors and their public to take part in the debates that are crucial for the contemporary society. Through more or less explicit literary means, tragic theater becomes a political theater for it raises the city to the dignity of the spectacle that reflects on its civic and cultural mechanisms

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

Full textThe story of Jason is a most ancient myth and survives in various forms. A more widespread interpretation relates the myth of the fleece to a method of washing gold from streams. More often, the Golden Fleece represents royal power, the spring-hero or a book on alchemy. According to Apollonius of Rhodes, a flying golden ram rescued Phrixus and Helle as their stepmother wantedto kill them. Phrixus safely reached Colchis where he sacrificed the ram and gave its skin to Aetes. Meanwhile, Pelias had usurped the throne of Eson and as his son reclaimed it, sent him to fetch the Golden Fleece. Jason assembled a remarkable group of heroes on board the Argo. At Colchis, the witch Medea helped Jason to complete the mortal tasks. Upon returning, she plotted the death of Jason's uncle, so both took refuge with their children in Corinth. There, the hero betrayed her as he fell in love with Creusa. The witch got rid of this rival, burnt the palace and slaughtered their chidren.In 1430, the Duke of Burgundy founded the Order of the Golden Fleece. As a shield, a sheepskin was suspended from a jeweled collar of firesteel linked by flints. But the choice of Jason caused controversy, so Bishop of Chalon linked it to the fleece of Gideon. As part of the Burgundian inheritance, the Order was a welcomed instrument to the ambitious Habsburgs to strengthen the bonds and Charles V added as a motto « Plus Oultre ».Performances of the Spanish Golden Age Theater were used to develop the ideology of the Catholic Monarchy. When Lope de Vega published el “Arte nuevo”, he introduced the tradition of the « Mirror for Prince » giving opportunity to express one's point of view, despite the censure

Full textFrom its apparition in 1550, French tragedy tends to draw most of its subjects from history. Though most dramatic authors, according to the taste of the times, tend to favour classical or mythological plots, subjects drawn from modern or contemporary history are nevertheless very present in the works produced between 1550 and 1715. The present work seeks to explain the links between history and tragedy. It compares not only the dramatic works with real historical events but also seeks to illuminate the relationship between historiography and dramatic writing in the 16th and 17th centuries
