"In 1961, Martin Esslin named a body of plays that lacked plot, character depth, and details of time and space the 'Theatre of the Absurd'. Esslin explained that this type of theatre, minimalist in the extreme, constituted a response to the existential crisis of Europe, which was in the midst of recovering from World War II. But the fact that this body of theatre lacked details of time and space means that we may break the ties that anchor the Theatre of the Absurd irremediably to the historical context of post-World War II Europe. How can the Theatre of the Absurd speak meaningfully to us in the twenty-first century? This book explores this question by combining the avant-garde that Martin Esslin named in 1961 in his signature work The Theatre of the Absurd with gender studies, queer theory, and psychoanalysis, and avant-garde studies. The Theatre of the Absurd is capable of subverting post-millennial institutions and ideologies, including the Prison Industrial Complex and the West's domination of the Islamic world in a post-9/11 era"--

L'auteur essaie de faire le point sur les différentes manières dont, au fil du temps, a été considéré et pensé le tragique. Elle essaie ensuite sur base d'analyse de pièces particulières comme "Henry IV" de L. Pirandello, d'établir une filiation entre cet auteur ainsi que R. del Valle-Inclan, et les dramaturges de l'après-guerre : Beckett, Ionesco, ... Elle tend à prouver qu'il n'y a pas, dans l'écriture du drame, une nette cassure due à la deuxième guerre mondiale, mais bien plutôt une continuité, comme si certains dramaturges d'avant-guerre avait senti et compris le malaise des esprits et de la civilisation qui allait déboucher sur la guerre 40-45 et les atrocités que l'on sait.

This study considers the ways playwrights draw meaning from emptiness. With reference to actual performances of dramatic works, Les Essif examines drama associated with nonrealistic movement known as theatre of the absurd, focusing on the ways dramatists create an impression of emptiness not only on the stage but also in the body and mind of the central character. Essif makes a case for the meta-dramatic fusion of stage and character. Empty Figure on an Empty Stage begins with a discussion of philosophical, socio-cultural, and theatrical implications of emptiness. Bringing together pioneers in theatre phenomenology Bert O. States and Stanton B. Garner, Jr., with theatrical thinkers Antonin Artaud and Gordon Craig, and socio-aesthetic thinkers Mikhail Bakhtin and Theodor Adorno, Essif formulates a fresh approach to drama and performance and presents an overview of the evolution of "empty" characters and "empty" space in Western drama. After examining Samuel Beckett's drama and performance, Essif studies works of other dramatists of this generation, primarily from France (Ionesco, Vian, Dubillard, Obaldia), but also from other Western national cultures (Bernhard, Pinter, Stoppard, Handke, Shepard). He supports his thesis with photographs of works of art as well as scenes from theatrical performances of the plays in question.

On a pris l'habitude d'identifier la tragédie grecque à son contenu mythologique, la tragédie élisabéthaine à ses intrigues historiques, et le tragique de Racine et de Corneille à la poétique classique. Mais à quoi reconnaître le tragique qui imprègne le théâtre européen des XIXe et XXe siècles? Actes du colloque organisé à l'Université catholique de Louvain en février 2001, enrichis de nouvelles contributions, ce volume tente d'ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives sur ces questions. Pour la première fois, des spécialistes prennent le parti de se concentrer sur des écrivains modernes, salués à des degrés divers comme des rénovateurs de la tragédie : von Kleist, Büchner, Ibsen, Strindberg, Maeterlinck, Tchékhov, Hauptmann, Ghelderode, Garcia Lorca… 
(www.aml.cfwb.be)Qu'est-ce que le tragique ? Et existe-t-il un tragique contemporain ? Fruit d'un colloque, ce volume tente d'apporter, sinon une réponse à ces questions, du moins de nouvelles perspectives. Ses auteurs ont pris le parti de se concentrer sur des écrivains salués, à des degrés divers, comme des rénovateurs de la tragédie : Kleist, Büchner, Ibsen, Strindberg, Maeterlinck, Tchekhov, Hauptmann, Ghelderode, García Lorca… et, transversalement, sur la question du tragique dans les sociétés post-tragiques.
