Freitas-Fernandes, Aurélien. "Le Concert Party hier et aujourd’hui en Afrique de l’ouest : une enquête de terrain (évolution histoire, question dramaturgiques, enjeux esthétiques et sociologiques)." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 3, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023PA030030.
Full textThis thesis in Theatre Studies, accompanied by a scientific documentary film, is based on a historical and anthropological field study that aims to understand the dramaturgical and sociological issues of a genre of musical cabaret theatre called the Concert Party. From its origins during the colonial period to the present day, the Concert Party has been an extremely popular and subversive artistic movement in West Africa. Produced in the vernacular (Twi, Ewe, Mina...), associated with highlife music and relying on highly coded disguises, make-up and dramaturgy, the shows are still performed in the maquis of the large and medium-sized cities of the West African coast and derisively enjoy turning colonial and racist representations on their head while resisting cultural alienation and political powers. Born in 1930 in the Gold Coast (now Ghana), the genre was exported to its neighbouring country Togo in 1965 after independence. However, the genre's fate in these two countries was very different, without losing its subversive force. The research, which focuses on the history and mutations of the genre up to its present day, is based on research undertaken during several visits to Ghana and Togo, as well as on field experiences from the inside. It was carried out, among other things, by immersion in the Azé Kokovivina Concert Band, Togo's last great concert party company, created in 1985. This also made it possible to collect archives, testimonies and video traces in the form of a scientific report
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. .

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

Full textThis study focuses on the aesthetic stakes and on the dramatic art's achievements of the militant action in the drama which took place in France from 1966 to 1979. Should be considered as a militant dramatic action " any dramatic expression which, in support of a fight, aims at being either an helper, or an instrument, or one of its specific aspects " and which is structured alongside with the concrete and prescript fightings. The dramatic performance can only be understood in accordance with the heteronomy of its references (whether theoritical or dramatical). Then it has to be addressed in the light of political stakes, the making process, the inspiring topics and its receptivity. Three different levels of militant appearance and practice are successively examined : on one hand, the dramatic play as a political demonstration, on the orther hand the various forms of dramatic art depending on the selected references and lastly, the political and aesthetic achievements of such expressions

Full textThe edwardians inherited from the victorians a heritage whose calling into question became imperative to all those who strived for social solidarity. Harley granville barker, a philosopher and humanist, interested himself in the new duties set to every individual. He developed a realistic and intellectual theatre, a paramount medium of ideas. He was member of the fabian society where he met with his close friend g. B. Shaw. He didn't believe in class struggle but in the moral neccesity of a social organisation. He viewed education as a way to liberation which provides equal opportunies to every individual to improve himself. Thus the best trained people in society could ensure the advent of a society showing more solidarity and more humanity

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

Full textThe 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 textIn Jean de La Taille, Robert Garnier and Antoine de Montchrestien's tragedies, three Renaissance's French playwrights, passions become the mainspring of action and characterize roles in the play. Renaissance's tragic theater combines the pathos produced by deplorations and passions' dramatic construction which guides progressing action's rules. Influences coming from Bible, History and Seneca define imitation's conditions but passions' poetics and rhetoric lead imitation to reinvention underlining Renaissance's specificities. The moral point of view in passions' representation is studied through the pathos/catharsis mechanism, choosing a character becoming as important as action's structure. The process of catharsis in Renaissance's tragedies follows from a teaching pathos ; passions edify on moral and poolitic views. Passions' representation is directed by passions' tragic philosophy leading to a Christian theology. Tragedies representing human fault and God's punishment thus combine ancient and Christian conceptions about passions' theology
Mueller-Loewald, Sharon. "Les figures féminines dans certains mystères de la passion en France au Moyen âge." Paris 3, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA030194.
Full textThis study is based on fourteen french passion plays in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and includes ninety-two different female figures. The first chapter is an analysis of names applied to women and shows the importance of words setting the tone of close friendship and kinship among certain women. A short biography of each character is given in the second chapter to identify the plays in which she appears, her proper names, her text of origin and what she says and does. The characters are divided into three groups: biblical, non biblical, allegorical women and others. An overall portrait of the characters is drawn up in the third chapter. We point out their social position, their marital status, their vertues and their vices, and their relationships among themselves as well as with jesus, men and children. In chapter iv we look at the dramatic contribution of female roles and stress their use of liturgical and lyrical language. With some women, the language is comical and based on specific aspects of a medieval woman's daily life. In chapter v we study in detail the variation of treatment from one author to another for certain roles (eve, mary magdalen, herodias and her daughter, the mother of a man blind from birth and the blacksmith's wife). The study of character details tends to suggest an image of women or an attitude toward women specific to each passion and this is discussed in the conclusion

Full textBorn in the heart of princely festivities, the opera wouldn't have existed without a festival context. From the feast of the original operas to the distance created by the theatrical representation, with an obvious break during the revolution, the opera is the mirror relfecting a rejoicing society : in the architecture of the theatres, in the ritual of the representation or even in the feasts taking place in the works. It is thus possible to determine an anthropology based upon the study of lyrical works taken for their descriptive interest of archetypal human behaviour, beyond their qualities of testimony of musical and theatrical fashions. Sublimated archetypes on stage that lead to intertainment or on the opposite bearing an amplified tragical impact to express an utter state of distress, all these features are the elements of a systematic study made to identify an aestetic of the feast in the lyrical theatre

Full textThe connection between psychoanalysis and theater dates from Oedipus or, rather, from the Greek tragedy. Therefore, the Freudian myth that has nourished the psychoanalytic theory in a universal level is a "Greek scenario. If we see theater as the literary form that talks about psychoanalysis more than all the other literary forms, and respectively psychoanalysis as the theory of dramatic art, we might as well consider that the greatest European dramatists of the 20th century -Strindberg, Ibsen and Lorca- have created theater characters whose decoding has something to say about the experience of the unconscious. Therefore we are wondering whether psychoanalysis would be possible without theater, without the knowledge that theater has transmitted us on the subject and its passions, if we could think about Freud without thinking about the great dramatists. So how are we going to apply psychoanalysis in a theater play? What is the text's resistance to the analytical interpretation? Our goal is not only to question the literary creation in connection to the symptom, but to study as well the female characters in Ibsen, Strindberg, Lorca in order to support our hypothesis: The woman made hysterical and blamed by the male dramatist with no regard to her structure, her sexuality, her nationality. We wish to open a dialogue with the authors. The Strindberg, Ibsen, Lorca trilogy aims to show an image of the woman "transformed or not" by the psychical structure of the male dramatist. Therefore the theatrical trilogy meets the Freudian trilogy (neurosis — psychosis and perversion)

Full textClassical theatre did not permit death on stage. This ban had been laid down by Horace in his Ars poetica and justified by Medea’s infanticide: “Medea should not slaughter her children in the presence of the people […]. Whatever you show me like this, I detest and refuse to believe. ” Due to this illustrious reference, from the 16th to the 18th century, Medea became a choice example for reflections on verisimilitude and on the means of achieving dramatic effectiveness. Stage adaptations of the story of Medea raised the issues of the limits of what could be represented and the reasons why violence had to be controlled and limited by playwrights in order to become acceptable. While they stand for a climax of violence, Medea’s crimes also call for investigations in specific fields. Compendia of myths, medical treatises, books of demonology, theories on power and women: texts from all these fields of knowledge, in which Medea served as a paradigm, have been consulted to shed new light on the theatrical treatment of the subject. Making violence plausible does not imply eliminating it entirely; violence is effective dramatically, as the popularity of the subject-matter demonstrates. Therefore, this study focuses on confronting the theoretical discourse on theatre with the plays themselves, in order to understand better the advantages and risks for the tragic genre entailed by the representation of violence. These Medeas mark the limits of what is tolerable on stage and sketch out a history of the theatrical representation of bloody crimes. In this respect, the scandal represented by Medea appears as a particularly rich theoretical and dramatic object
Silva, Alexandra Moreira da. "La question du poème dramatique dans le théâtre contemporain." Paris 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA030138.
Full textApplying the concept of “dramatic poem” to contemporary theatre may be considered irrelevant and even anachronistic. However, there is a growing number of authors who call themselves “dramatic poets” or simply “poets”. The fact that these authors regard their texts as dramatic poems does not mean that they are seeking to categorize their works within a specific genre, but rather that they are questioning and permanently reinventing forms and languages which are at the very basis of the scenic transformations and changes in the relation between author and audience. Our proposal for an analysis of the dramatic poem presupposes a reflection on the many changes introduced, especially since the 1980s, in the relation between author, theatre director and audience, as well as on the experimental character of theatrical texts, which show an increasing tendency to “overflow”, i. E. , to transcend the canon of drama. Thus, contemporary dramatic poem is the ideal form of a new genre, which Jean-Pierre Sarrazac terms “infradramatic”. We can therefore say that contemporary dramatic poem constitutes a positive reaction against the announced death of drama, showing the power of drama to reinvent and revive itself

Full textExploring the process of creating a theatre of the oppressed, we analyse the pertinence of the theatrical theory held by Augosto Boal, from his conception, its construction, his experimentation in South America, then in Europe. This thesis wishes respectfully to enlighten the theatrical advancement, both political and philosophical, of this theory. We will attempt to analyse in a subtle way the technique known as “theatre forum”, the guiding principals which govern the latter, its practices and implementation in dealing with public from various populations. As support we offer an analysis of work carried out by two theatre companies specialising in theatre of the oppressed, one based in Strasbourg, the other in Paris. Through these two examples we will try to distinguish the political implications of this theory and to understand how the theatre of the oppressed can bring public from extremely varied backgrounds together

Full textIn contemporary drama, the amazing abundance of corpse and odd apparitions between life and death is due on the hand to the exhibition of the body and its involvment to signification, and the other, to the return of death, a death which is no longer seen as a punctual event, but a situation or a state of being as itself. From beckett to copi, from ionesco to vinaver, the corpse happens to be place where ideological, phantasmatic, esthetic and dramatic challenges appear. In a strategy of inscription, the dead body is the expression of historical violence or witness to the alienation of modern man. While language and symbolization fail to make sens, while words have lost any power to mean, only the corpse seems to be able to signify; it identifies also with the "other" imaginary body, the schizophrenic, anal body, close to the instinctive life. Actuated by subversive phantasm, the housebreaking strategy of death endeavours to reach the center of the body, the very nakedness under the signs and deceitful masks. This major obsession of body and death generates a diversified, chequered and lively dramatic art. .
Drugeon, Marianne. "David Edgar : un théâtre politique." Bordeaux 3, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004BOR30036.
Full textDavid Edgar was born in 1948 in Birmingham England, and decided to write for the theatre in the wake of the events of 1968. He is a committed playwright, and his theatre is political. He started writing agitprop plays for the Fringe theatre, and is the author of more than thirty plays which have never been published. He then became famous and began working with mainstream theatre companies such as the Royal Shakespeare Company in London. This study examines the difficulties encountered by a committed writer who tries to be both successful and disturbing, and who wants to spread a political message through an audience as wide as possible. At the crossroads of such disciplines as theatre studies and contemporary history, this research gives an insight into the particular and representative career of a political playwright

Full textThe body's aesthetic occupies a significant place in the spirit of the woman. As a matter of fact, the relation the woman and her body is a relation of dependence, a relation between a master and a servant. So, her freedom with respect to her body, the man and the society appears as an unreachable dream. On the scene, the woman in Marivaux's theater uses several types of non-verbal languages: the motion, the attitude and the glance. The inability and the capacity of the woman to undertake something are linked to her education. The woman, in Marivaux's work, plays a remarkable role characterized by goodness, cruelty and naughtiness as well. Referring to the woman is equivalent to referring to love and marriage. In studying the relationship of love to betrayal, sensuality, wealth, virtue and reason, one can highlight the attitude of the woman vis-à- vis to this feeling

Full textThe myth of Troy provided more subject matter to 16th and 17th century French playwrights than any other ancient fable. The exceptional scope of this legend, the multitude of its scenes and characters, and the variety of available themes and viewpoints can partly explain this phenomenon. Yet this study seeks to demonstrate how the Trojan myth, through its unique legacy and structure, served as a model for exploring the problematics of an era marked by massive political and cultural transformation : the second half of the 16th century saw the birth of both the modern State and the modern theatre. Throughout the 150-year period which followed this simultaneous development, the use of the Trojan theme in different dramatic contexts can be understood in the light of the progression of aesthetic, political, ethical and theological ideas that accompanied the cultural transition at hand

Full textHow can a power that is no longer imposed on its subjects from the outside be shown ? At the price of what adjustments can drama represent the minuscule proceedings by which power informs our actions and words ? Based upon the new economy of the visibility of the social relations of power diagnosed by Michel Foucault, our research analyzes the ways in which the dramaturgies of the 1970s have experimented with the “bodiless reality” of contemporary power. In effect, whether it is a matter of the endeavours of Franz Xaver Kroetz, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Martin Sperr to renew the Volksstück, or of the movement initiated by Jean-Paul Wenzel and Michel Deutsch under the name of the “theatre of everyday life,” or of the research of Michel Vinaver, numerous authors have chosen to elevate everyday life to the dignity of a theatrical object worthy of representation, and to make it the site of a microanalysis of the relations of power that traverse the whole of the social field. Renouncing the public and historical character of traditional representations of power, initiating a change of scale that strives to rid the everyday of its familiarity and to solicit our critical activity, these dramaturgies allow us to question anew the formal becoming of the drama. But it is also the political dimension of the theatre that they prompt us to question, mapping, under the influence of such authors as Georg Büchner, Ödön von Horváth or Marieluise Fleisser, the unrecognized territory of an alternative scene, which, quietly and surreptitiously, has not ceased to be engaged with History

The state of his prey and the character of the obstacles to be overcome set the tone of the pay; if seduct ion is based on fantasy where hedonisme easily triumphs, the play is amusing. On the other hand, if seduction is based on the the reality qhere morals predominate, the play is serious. But regardless of the tone used, seduction is the most cherished theme for all authors from the boulevard who take on interest in private life. We propose to study all of the aspects of seduction from 1900 to 1940 through the "theatre de boulevard" ; in the first part, the global framework of the dramatic arts : the story, the time and the space of seduction; and in the second part, the dramatic arts in practice : the staff and the language in the first section, the situation and the functioning of seduction in the second section and in conclusion the repersussions of seduction
Ruiz, José-Manuel. "Des désirs illusoires aux désirs dérisoires dans le théâtre espagnol contemporain." Toulouse 2, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009TOU20005.
Full textThe subject of desire is dealt with in a selection of contemporary Spanish playwrights from the last three decades. This work highlights the changes in a society which transitions from a period of excitement and enthusiasm at the end of an oppressive regime, to one which is self-questioning and almost disenchanted at the end of the millennium, and eventually to a return to values which are more humanistic and definitely more expressive of a social consciousness. This study shows that the most enthusiastic plays from the 1970s understate the illusion of desire whereas following generations, who at first appear more disillusioned, are actually more optimistic and more involved in commonplace events; through this, things which are trivial tend to become more pragmatic. Desire is here described in relation to perversion, melancholy, vampires, sexualities, circularity, mystery, magic, utopia, dreams and tragedy. The semiotic, linguistic, anthropological, philosophical and social approach is first and foremost one of a literary basis. The intention of this thesis is to draw attention to the evolution of Spanish theatre and to spark interest in the exciting and dynamic productions that are uniquely Spanish drama
Gutierrez, Laffond Aurore. "Théâtre et magie dans la littérature dramatique du XVIIè siècle." Toulouse 2, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998TOU20067.
Full textThe purpose of this study, "theatre and magic in the dramatic literature of the 17th century" is to show how and why the theatre of that century reflected the different forms of the irrational. It is meant to shed light on a subject often left in the shade, perhaps on account of the prevailing image of French classicism yearning for order, reason and clarity. Pre-scientific thinking in the early 17th century remained indeed highly dependent on the learned magic of the renaissance. Kepler and Galilee were as many astrologers as astronomers and the passing of a comet, seriously interpreted as an ill-fated foreboding still in 1680, spread terror among the population. Medicine was still astrophile and influenced by Paracelsus's theory of marks. The most enlightened minds remained under the spell of the marvelous, kept alive and renewed by emblematic. Royal mystic under Louis XIV took on a magic dimension, magnified by the solar emblem. Awe of the devil and of woman assumed the form of witch hunting until after 1650 through the affairs of possession of Loudun, Louviers, and Aix. . . Etc. The Affair of the Poisons in 1679 was also a resurgence of the magic spells and black masses. The first part of the study analyses the reality of this magic. How this magic mentality was depicted varied with the literary genres. Such serious genres as tragedy, musical tragedy and to a lesser extent tragi-comedy - in the second part of the study - reveal the constant fascination of the 17th century for the magic marvelous, both veiled and sublimated by myths. Armida's gardens were the symbol of the dream of love just as the destruction of the enchanted palace was the symbol of its impossibility. Magic in comedy, developed in the third part, reflects more directly the reality of magic and of its avatar, witchcraft. The theme showed a great variety of registers in the pre-Moliere productions, in pastorals, tragi-comedies and comedies. Sometimes a lofty poetry is inspired by the baroque themes of the illusion, of the mirror, of the metamorphosis of the self and of the world, of the dead-alive, while the theme of the devil, the witch and the satire played upon the whole spectrum of laughter. From Moliere onwards comedy stressed the denunciation of imposture previously initiated with a determination that testified to the long-lasting survival of superstition and the ancient magic mentality

Full textAlbee, genet, ionesco and pinter belong to the theatre of the absurd. Our objective was therefore to establish certain affinities between these playwrights in order to justify their classification in this form of drama and then to try and find a definition for the word "absurd", other than the one related to metaphysics. We pointed out that one of the characteristics of the subconcious is its tendency to deform images of "reality", that is to make them "grotesque" or "absurd". The dramatic techniques used by our four authors are centred round the rendering of this phenomenon onto the stage. The theatre of the absurd should not be considered as a dramatic form devoted only to metaphysical anguish but more broadly as a "theatre of the subconcious" highlighting all of man's anguishes and illusions. Several theories taken from freud, r. D. Laing, s. Nacht, and sartre have been used as starting points for a certain number of the chosen themes. We also established a relationship between each author's life and his works. The first chapter - identity - is divided into 1) integration into the group, 2) rejection by the group, and3) ritual and collusion (as defined by laing). We examined group psychology at every level : the gregarious instinct, the leader's role, as well as various types of groups : the family, large "masses" (e. G.

Full textG. Bachelard considerava Prometeo come una " figura paradossale ", di " valore emblematico, ma che si disperde in immagini multiple " (Fragments de la poétique du feu). Dopo secoli di interpretazioni allegoriche, alla fine del XVIII secolo, grazie al genio goethiano Prometeo è entrato trionfalmente nell'arte e alle profondità dell'immaginario collettivo moderno. Accanto alle innumerevoli versioni letterarie recensite dall'antichità ai nostri giorni, esistono anche numerose "traduzioni musicali", repertoriate nel nostro catalogo. Attraverso uno studio sintetico delle tematiche che scaturiscono dal mito nel XIX e XX secolo, considerato in queste sue versioni musicali (Beethoven, Alkan, Liszt, Nono, Skrjabin, Reichardt, Schubert, Wolf, Parry, Fauré, Emmanuel, Orff, Couroupos, Theodorakis) e teatrali (Wilson), ma anche nelle sue relazioni complesse con la filosofia, l'estetica, la poesia, le arti figurative, la drammaturgia e la danza, abbiamo cercato di cogliere le linee evolutive della figura prometeica nell'immaginario musicale degli artisti, considerati nella Weltanschauung della loro nazione e della loro epoca, alfine di svelare l'essenza musicale profonda propria al mito prometeico
G. Bachelard considered Prometheus as a " paradoxical figure " with an "emblematic value but which also scatters into multiple images " (Fragments of the fire poetics). After many centuries of allegorical interpretations, the Promethean myth, with Goethe's genius's help, came triumphantly into the art at the turning point of the XVIIIth century fathoming the recesses of collective imaginary at the modern era. In addition to numerous literary versions listed from the ancient Greek civilization to our time, there are also many "musical translations" which we present in a subject catalogue. We carried out a recapitulating study of themes derived from the myth seen on one hand through its XIXth and XXth centuries musical ( Beethoven, Alkan, Liszt, Nono, Skrjabin, Reichardt, Schubert, Wolf, Parry, Fauré, Emmanuel, Orff, Couroupos, Theodorakis) and theatrical (Wilson) interpretations, on the other hand through its relations with philosophy, poetry, plastic arts, dramatic art or dance. It allowed us to emphasize the evolutionary features of the Promethean figure into the artists' musical creative imaginary taking into consideration the Weltanschauung of their nation and of their time in order to detect the deep musical essence characteristic of promethean myth

Full textResurrection lies at the heart of Christianity – it epitomizes the triumph over death and symbolizes the hope for eternal life. Despite underlying changes, the varied representations of death and resurrection are imbued with medieval patterns in early modern England. Elizabethan and Jacobean drama integrates the different funerary codes. Drama is also aware of its power of resurrection in so far as it brings the past back to life. Before the final reunion of the body and soul, resurrection is linked to death. English Renaissance drama explores all the aspects of the first resurrection and questions the meaning of all the rituals celebrating the passage from life to death and preserving memory. Apparent death and false resurrections become a comical pattern in Jacobean comedies. The return to life in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale praises the dramatist's divine gift

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

Full textApplying the tools of conversation analysis and pragmatic linguistics to Koltès’s works, this thesis aims at deciphering the functioning of discursive conflicts. In scenes where protagonists argue, Koltès creates his own drama style, which allows him to transfer into writing a type of speech which appears, at first glance, to be purely oral. The playwright thus conveys his vision of the world and of human relationships, built as they are on misunderstanding, exclusion and constant conflicts. The dialogues in Koltès’s drama are filled with arguments that reveal various tactics to reach the symbolical knock-out of the adversary. The argument, a multi-facetted and complex discourse, implies diverse linguistic and non-linguistic acts. Within Koltesian speech, argument become real war weapons, at the service of a verbal fight whose objective is the annihilation of the Other
Hurault, Chantal. "Wladyslaw Znorko ou le théâtre de l'oubli." Paris 3, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA030052.
Full textThe project of this thesis on the theatre of Wladyslaw Znorko, and the Cosmos Kolej Company founded in 1981, is to open the nature of the scenic image to the prospects for a theatricality of Oblivion which redefines the concepts of presence and absence. The proposal is dual : to determine the coherence of a creative process and, from it, to assert the aesthetic goals of a dramaturgy of the memory. The first part analyzes, in the line of Witkiewicz, Craig and Kantor, the scenic specificity of theatrical language. This theatre of image raises the question of literary adaptation. Rejecting the transposition codes, it calls for a primarily poetic intimacy of the literary image. Our theoretical research is immersed in the creative process, seeking to locate the constitutive criteria of a plural language. The very concept of an " oeuvre ", adapted in the scenic field, is the objective of the second part which explores its bases. The Polish roots of Znorko are widened to a broad corpus, beyond cultural borders and currents. Under the sign of exile, the scene becomes the place of refuge for an idle and forlorn Memory. The exile answers the mechanisms of a theatricality which triggers the tragic forces of History in a recurrent mode - placing the characters in an endless wandering within its fictional realm. The theatrical character thus assumes a ghostly presence. The third part forms an aesthetic complex of melancholy stemming from the modern notion of the in-between. From the Theatre of Death of Kantor to the Theatre of Oblivion of Znorko, the theatrical image is engaged in a hallucinatory dramaturgy where, linked with obsessive memory, presence appears in the very place of its absence. Consequently, the marvellous becomes a privileged space for the imaginary, illusion becomes the engine of a theatre of appearances. In the theatre of Oblivion the image belongs to a disproportion of a space outside the world

Full textThis study stands at the crossroads of arts and town planning. It analyses French comedy from the period 1550-1650 in the light of its relationship to the town. Poetic and architectural arts both assign to the theatre of laughter the representation of everyday city life. What best characterises farce and comedy is not as much their classification as literary genres as the fact that they are both urban shows. The first two parts of our study show that the relationship between theatre and town go both ways. On the one hand, the town of comedy can be defined as a show-town and, on the other hand, society itself was undergoing a process of "dramatisation". Laughter and the town echo each other; comedy both reveals and catalyses the process of "urbanisation". The third part considers the interlocking planes of the town and shows how 1550-1650 comedy plays with the limits of the town. As they unfold the metaphor of siege and conquest, these plays spin a web of connections between city gates, house doors and the genitals of female protagonists. By probing the foundations of this metaphor we can simultaneously clarify the meaning of the art of comedy and reflect on the symbolic foundations of the town. The imaginative world of the theatre-town examines the relationship that connects libido with war. Considering the way it uses space, comedy can be said to stage a parody of a siege. It involves reflection on genealogy in order to present the foundations of the law

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

Full textThe Cretan Theatre (1590-1647) is the only theatre existing in Crete following the ancient classic theatre and is also the only theatrical sign in the Greek Renaissance. The question "Women and authority" in the tragic plays (Erophile and Delivered Jerusalem of G. Chortatzis, The Abraham's sacrifice of anonymous author, Rodolinos of I. A. TroÔlos) presents a great interest on women's situation in Crete, during that period, facing the multiple sides of authority. Despite the universality of that theatre and its influences from the Italian theatre, women's characters are absolutely Greek and they also bring the echo of a forgotten world, the matriarchal period. The rhetoric of women's characters doesn't only lead the reader into the mere problem of love but also into a sociopolitical problem: the heroines allow the authors to personify ideas that they cherish, in a serious historical reality, under the Venetian occupation and the Turkish threat. The heroines' exhortations against the varied machinery of the power they suffer from reflect the soul of a people without hope under the burden of a tyrannical power

Full textTime is both an objective idea, external to man and an emanation of its subjective perception. In his relation to time, man is consequently endlessly involved in a dialectic between the real time, that he is submitted to, and the imaginary time, that he creates. Drama - a work of imagination dedicated to be inscribed in the actual time of representation - is the privileged ground for the observation of this dialectic. The latter will be even more intense in the case of a dramatic work setting in the foreground the psyche of the characters and more particularly their subjective perception of time. Now, this question seems to lie at the heart of the dramatic works of Arthur Schnitzler, Paul Claudel and Marguerite Duras. The characters of their books show in a significant way a desire to escape the irreversible manner time is passing, and dramatic art lets us feel a will to play with it and to free itself from its linearity. The idea that I will try to demonstrated in this thesis is that the treatment of time, in the plays of these three writers, is underlain by the desire to escape the passage of time. Seven parts will compose this study. I will first focus on the linear representation of time, before studying how it takes a new shape once filtred by subjective experience : elastic time, repeated time, eternal time, and time started a new. I will eventually wonder if, for these authors, the ultimate emancipation towards the irreversible passage of time could lie in the dramatic representation itself
