Abstract

Postdramatic theatre is an essential category of performance that challenges classical elements of drama, including the centrality of plot and character. Tracking key developments in contemporary European and North American performance, this collection redirects ongoing debates about postdramatic theatre, turning attention to the overlooked issue on which they hinge: form. Contributors draw on literary studies, film studies and critical theory to reimagine the formal aspects of theatre, such as space, media and text. The volume expands how scholars think of theatrical form, insisting that formalist analysis can be useful for studying the ways theatre is produced and consumed, and how theatre makers engage with other forms like dance and visual art. Chapters focus on a range of interdisciplinary artists including Tadeusz Kantor, Ann Liv Young and Ryan Trecartin and Lizzie Fitch, as well as theatre's enmeshment within institutional formations like funding agencies, festivals, real estate and healthcare. A timely investigation of the aesthetic structures and material conditions of contemporary performance, this collection refines what we mean, and what we don't, when we speak of postdramatic theatre

Abstract

Selon les cultures, le temps rime avec destin inéluctable, fin annoncée, héritage de la mémoire ou espoir de progrès. Pour les individus comme pour les sociétés, l’action oscille entre empreintedu passé et anticipation de l’avenir.La mémoire est un voyage, où passé, présent et futur s’entremêlent : ce qui a été vécu est sans cesse réactualisé par des projections d’avenir.En confrontant le point de vue des artistes et l’apport de l’histoire, de l’économie, de l’ethnologie, de l’anthropobiologie, des études littéraires et cinématographiques, de la psychologie et des sciences et neurosciences cognitives, cet ouvrage montre l’entrelacement des représentations du temps.Il met en résonance le temps des marchés financiers et le temps cyclique des Étrusques, les rituels funéraires et les histoires de fantômes, les romans d’anticipation et les récits de catastrophes, les héroïnes du cinéma américain et les Amazones des cités antiques…Face au temps suspendu des crises, le théâtre nous apprend à vivre les temporalités désaccordées, il fait jaillir l’inattendu et ouvre les possibles.Ce volume a été coordonné par Catherine Courtet, responsable scientifique, Agence nationale de la recherche ; Mireille Besson, directrice de recherche, CNRS-Aix-Marseille Université ; Françoise Lavocat, professeure, Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle ; François Lecercle, professeur émérite, Sorbonne Université.Avec les contributions de Caroline Callard, Domenico Cecere, Jennifer Coull, Charles-Antoine Courcoux, Éric Crubézy, Francis Eustache, Laëtitia Guédon, Marie-Laurence Haack, François Hartog, Pierre-Cyrille Hautcoeur, Pascal Huguet, Christiane Jatahy, Sandrine Kott, Isabelle Régner, Dennis Rodgers, Tiago Rodrigues, Violaine Sebillotte Cuchet, Anne-Cécile Vandalem, Georges Vigarello, Patrik Vuilleumier.

Abstract

This book offers a timely discussion about the interventions and tensions between two contested and contentious fields, performance and phenomenology, with international case studies that map an emerging 21st century terrain of critical and performance practice. Building on the foundational texts of both fields that established the performativity of perception and cognition, Performance and Phenomenology continues a tradition that considers experience to be the foundation of being and meaning. Acknowledging the history and critical polemics against phenomenological methodology and against performance as a field of study and category of artistic production, the volume provides both an introduction to core thinkers and an expansion on their ideas in a wide range of case studies. Whether addressing the use of dead animals in performance, actor training, the legal implications of thinking phenomenologically about how we walk, or the intertwining of digital and analog perception, each chapter explores a world comprised of embodied action and thought. The established and emerging scholars contributing to the volume develop insights central to the phenomenological tradition while expanding on the work of contemporary theorists and performers. In asking why performance and phenomenology belong in conversation together, the book suggests how they can transform each other in the process and what is at stake in this transformation.

Abstract

Thinking Through Theatre and Performance presents a bold and innovative approach to the study of theatre and performance. Instead of topics, genres, histories or theories, the book starts with the questions that theatre and performance are uniquely capable of asking: How does theatre function as a place for seeing and hearing? How do not only bodies and voices but also objects and media perform? How do memories, emotions and ideas continue to do their work when the performance is over? And how can theatre and performance intervene in social, political and environmental structures and frameworks?Written by leading international scholars, each chapter of this volume is built around a key performance example, and detailed discussions introduce the methodologies and theories that help us understand how these performances are practices of enquiry into the world.Thinking through Theatre and Performance is essential for those involved in making, enjoying, critiquing and studying theatre, and will appeal to anyone who is interested in the questions that theatre and performance ask of themselves and of us.

Abstract

La philosophie doit-elle, aujourd'hui encore, quelque chose à la langue, à la culture et à la pensée grecques ? Sophie Klimis, en s'entretenant avec Frank Pierobon, réfléchit sur ces manières de penser et ces nouvelles formes de vie, inventées en Grèce ancienne, conjointement à l'émergence du projet politique de la démocratie. Elle propose un voyage vers ces temps lointains et toujours inspirants, pour en percevoir les ressources, notamment en montrant comment des dispositifs institutionnels et symboliques - dont ceux du choeur dans le théâtre - structurent la Cité et forment ses citoyens.
