Abstract

Michael Y. Bennett's accessible Introduction explains the complex, multidimensional nature of the works and writers associated with the absurd - a label placed upon a number of writers who revolted against traditional theatre and literature in both similar and widely different ways. Setting the movement in its historical, intellectual and cultural contexts, Bennett provides an in-depth overview of absurdism and its key figures in theatre and literature, from Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to Tom Stoppard. Chapters reveal the movement's origins, development and present-day influence upon popular culture around the world, employing the latest research to this often challenging area of study in a balanced and authoritative approach. Essential reading for students of literature and theatre, this book provides the necessary tools to interpret and develop the study of a movement associated with some of the twentieth century's greatest and most influential cultural figures.

Abstract

Publikace se zaměřuje na absurdno a jeho scénický potenciál v divadle francouzského dada a začínajícího surrealismu. Korpus tvoří tři texty, jež dosud nebyly předmětem odpovídajícího výzkumu: dva z nich nebyly z hlediska scéničnosti hodnoceny (T. Tzara: První nebeské dobrodružství pana Antipyrina, R. Vitrac: Tajemství lásky), třetí téměř zcela unikl pozornosti (A. Breton – P. Soupault: Račte). Autorka na absurdno nahlíží jako na estetickou kategorii aplikovatelnou na divadelní analýzu jako takovou – na rozdíl od populární koncepce tzv. „absurdního dramatu“ britského kritika M. Esslina (definované s ohledem na avantgardu 50. let 20. století), jež je často kritizována pro nepřesnost, ale nebyla dosud podrobena žádné důsledné analýze. Závěr je mimo jiné věnován zhodnocení Esslinova pojetí absurdna v divadle.

Abstract

In Edward Albee and Absurdism —the inaugural volume in the new book series, New Perspectives in Edward Albee Studies —Michael Y. Bennett has assembled an outstanding team of Edward Albee scholars to address Albee’s affiliation with Martin Esslin’s label, “Theatre of the Absurd,” examining whether or not this label is appropriate. From scholarly essays and lengthy review-essays to an important interview with the noted playwright and director, Emily Mann, the aim of this collection is to, at last, directly (and indirectly) confront Esslin’s label in regards to Albee’s plays in order to create a scholarly atmosphere that allows future Albee scholars to move on to new and, frankly, more relevant lines of inquiry. Contributors are: Michael Y. Bennett, Linda Ben-Zvi, David A. Crespy, Colin Enriquez, Lincoln Konkle, David Marcia, Dena Marks, Brenda Murphy, Tony Jason Stafford, and Kevin J Wetmore Jr.

Abstract

"En 1946, Quoat-Quoat d'Audiberti a quelques représentations devant des publics clairsemés. Quatre ans plus tard, La Cantatrice chauve subit le même sort. Mais en 1953, la critique plébiscite En attendant Godot et le public la suit. L'on parle désormais d'un Nouveau Théâtre. Une vingtaine d'auteurs sont réunis sous ce pavillon. Au-delà des oeuvres singulières, c'est de toute une aventure créatrice qu'est dressé ici un bilan."--Page 4 of cover.
