Abstract

This collection focuses on Moliere's theatre as works to be performed as well as read. The essays deal in their various ways with limits which are imposed and respected or violated and broken. The question of transgression both as a subject within Moliere's plays and as a dilemma confronting Moliere's critics and interpreters is addressed. The book aims to enlarge the scope of academic scholarship and include the thinking and insights of actors.

Abstract

‘Molière on Stage’ takes the reader onstage, backstage and into the audience of Molière’s plays, analyzing the performance of his works in both his own time and in ours. Written by a professional stage director with over fifty years’ experience directing and translating Molière, this text explores how the playwright strove to create a communal experience of shared laughter, and investigates four key topics relating to this achievement: Molière’s early experiences that lead to his later theater experiences; his central great plays of love and lust; his comedic genius and his passion for the stage; and the final words and performances of his life.

Abstract

Aucun pays n'est resté indifférent au génie de Molière, ses pièces ne cessant d'être traduites, adaptées et jouées de par le monde. Plus qu'ailleurs, ses oeuvres ont eu un impact décisif dans le polysystème culturel du monde arabe puisque l'introduction du théâtre occidental dans les pays arabes s'est faite essentiellement par le biais des adaptations du répertoire moliéresque. Considéré encore aujourd'hui par certains comme le «parrain du théâtre arabe», Molière arrive dans la culture arabe grâce à une adaptation de L'Avare en 1847 par le libanais Marun Naqqaš: à partir de ce moment, la dramaturgie arabe ne manquera de puiser largement à la production moliéresque. À travers un corpus de pièces arabes provenant du Liban, de l'Egypte, de la Tunisie et du Maroc, composées pour la plupart en arabe dialectal, ce travail entend définir la place de Molière dans la genèse du théâtre arabe moderne et vérifier si les adaptations ont joué un rôle politique en contribuant à forger l'identité nationale dans les pays arabes. Est-ce un simple fruit du hasard si le nationalisme émerge dans le monde arabe presque parallèlement au théâtre? Molière et le théâtre arabe a reçu en 2016 le Prix d'encouragement à la recherche de l'Académie des sciences d'outre-mer (Paris).

Abstract

From 1680 until the French Revolution, when legislation abolished restrictions on theatrical enterprise, a single theatre held sole proprietorship of Molière's works. After 1791, his plays were performed in new theatres all over Paris by new actors, before audiences new to his works. Both his plays and his image took on new dimensions. In Molière, the French Revolution, and the Theatrical Afterlife, Mechele Leon convincingly demonstrates how revolutionaries challenged the ties that bound this preeminent seventeenth-century comic playwright to the Old Regime and provided him with a place of hon

Abstract

This book is the first full-length study to examine Molière's evolving (and at times contradictory) authorial strategies, as evidenced both by his portrayal of authors and publication within the plays and by his own interactions with the seventeenth-century Parisian publishing industry. Historians of the book have described the time period that coincides with Molière's theatrical activity as centrally important to the development of authors' rights and to the professionalization of the literary field. A seventeenth-century author, however, was not so much born as negotiated through often acrim
