La marionnette iranienne sur les scènes théâtrales et à la télévision souligne le "grand" pouvoir de cette "petite" chose et trouve un espace pour jouer avec les pouvoirs. À la fois monstrueuse, maligne et minuscule, elle participe depuis au moins dix siècles à un double jeu mêlant des versions officielle et officieuse de la représentation. Tout en résistant aux changements de la société, elle se renouvelle en toute occasion et s'épanouit de nos jours en revendiquant à sa guise la liberté de parole et de geste. Pour saisir ce phénomène, cet ouvrage s'attache à suivre la marionnette dans la société iranienne et étudie comment dans chaque sphère, cette hybridité dépasse les limites et aborde les non-dits.

Employing the idea of interculturality to study Middle Eastern adaptations of Greek tragedy from the turn of 20th century until the present day, this book first explores the earlier phase of the development of Greek classical reception in Middle Eastern theatre. It then moves to focus on modern Arabic, Persian and Turkish adaptations of Greek tragedy both in the early post-colonial and contemporary periods in the MENA and in Europe. Case by case, this book examines how the classical sources are reworked and adapted, as well as how they engage with interculturality, hybridisation and the circulation of aesthetics and models. At the same time, it explores the implications and consequences of expressing socio-political concerns through classical Greek sources. While Muslim thinkers and translators introduced Greek philosophy - in particular Aristotle's Poetics - to the West in the Middle Ages, adaptations of Greek tragedies only appeared in the MENA region at the very beginning of the 20th century. For this reason, the development of Greek tragedy in the Middle East is difficult to disentangle from colonialism and cultural imperialism. Encompassing language differences and offering for the first time a broad approach on the Middle-Eastern reception of Greek tragedy, this book produces a renewed focus on a fascinating aspect of the classical tradition.
