Proposer une méthode d'interprétation des pièces modernes et contemporaines, malgré la multiplicité et la richesse de leurs formes, tel est l'objet de cet ouvrage. Cette étude décrit et interprète neuf pièces du répertoire actuel, donnant des pistes de lecture du texte dramatique contemporain. Elle se place dans la perspective d'un lecteur découvrant le texte sans l'aide de la mise en scène, sans connaissance préalable et précise de l'auteur, de ses œuvres et de ses idées sur le monde. Une fois exposée la méthode, les pièces de Sarraute, Vinaver, Koltès, Reza, Minyana, Lagarce, Novarina, Durringer, Cormann sont abordées en elles-mêmes avec les outils adéquats pour les interpréter et pour dégager peu à peu un mode de lecture applicable à d'autres pièces contemporaines. Ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants en lettres et en théâtre, aux élèves comédiens ainsi qu'au public général intéressé, mais parfois aussi désorienté, par l'écriture contemporaine.

"The entire town is disguised," declared a French tourist of eighteenth-century Venice. And, indeed, maskers of all ranks-nobles, clergy, imposters, seducers, con men-could be found mixing at every level of Venetian society. Even a pious nun donned a mask and male attire for her liaison with the libertine Casanova. In Venice Incognito, James H. Johnson offers a spirited analysis of masking in this carnival-loving city. He draws on a wealth of material to explore the world view of maskers, both during and outside of carnival, and reconstructs their logic: covering the face in public was a uniquely Venetian response to one of the most rigid class hierarchies in European history. This vivid account goes beyond common views that masking was about forgetting the past and minding the muse of pleasure to offer fresh insight into the historical construction of identity.
