Abstract

Que se passe-t-il pendant un monologue d'Hamlet ou pendant les stances de Rodrigue ? Que fait un personnage une fois seul en scène ? En considérant le vaste champ du théâtre européen au seuil de la modernité, ce livre propose une approche inédite de ces questions. Car le monologue a une histoire et la fin de la Renaissance et l’âge baroque en est l’un des épisodes fondateurs. Des œuvres théâtrales aux traités théoriques et aux dictionnaires, il s’affirme comme un procédé dramatique spécifique, avec ses formes et ses enjeux propres. Reconstituer la poétique du monologue baroque, en tenant compte des principes esthétiques qui en régissent la composition et des modalités concrètes de la représentation, conduit à remettre en question le caractère anti-dramatique souvent associé à la forme monologuée : loin d’être nécessairement une pause dans l’action, cette convention énonciative construit le rapport du spectateur à la fiction, dessine la topographie scénique et se donne comme un vecteur essentiel de l’efficacité dramatique. Surtout, le monologue devient alors un point d’ancrage d’une nouvelle dramaturgie de l’intériorité : non pas sur le mode de la révélation ou de l’expression sans médiation d’un « moi », mais sur celui de la dramatisation d’une identité ou de la représentation d’une subjectivité en acte. Au prisme de ce déplacement des termes de l’analyse, l’histoire de la représentation théâtrale rejoint une histoire des représentations et reprend à nouveaux frais la question du sujet moderne.

Abstract

"Can theatre change the world? If so, how can it productively connect with social reality and foster spectatorial critique and engagement? This book examines the forms and functions of political drama in what has been described as a post-Marxist, post-ideological, even post-political moment. It argues that Bertolt Brecht's concept of dialectical theatre represents a privileged theoretical and dramaturgical method on the contemporary British stage as well as a valuable lens for understanding 21st-century theatre in Britain. Establishing a creative philosophical dialogue between Brecht, Walter Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno and Jacques Rancière, the study analyses seminal works by five influential contemporary playwrights, ranging from Mark Ravenhill's 'in-yer-face' plays to Caryl Churchill's 21st century theatrical experiments. Engaging critically with Brecht's theatrical legacy, these plays create a politically progressive form of drama which emphasises notions of negativity, ambivalence and conflict as a prerequisite for spectatorial engagement and emancipation. This book adopts an interdisciplinary and intercultural theoretical approach, reuniting English and German perspectives and innovatively weaving together a variety of theoretical strands to offer fresh insights on Brecht's legacy, on British theatre history and on the selected plays"--Abstract.

Abstract

Commercial theatre is thriving across Europe, while public theatre has suffered under changing patterns of cultural consumption - as well as sharp reductions in government subsidies for the arts. At a time when the rationale behind these subsidies is being widely reexamined, it has never been more important for public theatre to demonstrate its continued merit. In Resetting the Stage, Dragan Klaic argues convincingly that, in an increasingly crowded market of cultural goods, public theatre is best served not by imitating its much larger commercial counterpart, but by asserting its artistic dis

Abstract

"From the trauma of September 11th, through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to the aftermath of the Arab Spring and the environmental warning signs of climate change, this book reflects on the crises and terrifying events of the early 21st century and argues that a knowledge of tragedy from the works of Sophocles to Shakespeare to Samuel Beckett can help us understand them. Jennifer Wallace offers a cultural analysis of the tragic events of the past two decades with reference to a litany of key dramatic texts, including Aeschylus' Oresteia, Euripides' Hecuba, Iphigenia in Aulis, Trojan Women and Bacchae, Homer's Iliad, Ibsen's Emperor and Galilean and Enemy of the People, and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Macbeth and King Lear, among others."
