Abstract

"Ce volume délimite les périmètres qu'épousent les formes spectaculaires en explorant les frontières de ce qui fait spectacle. Il les décrit et détaille les régimes qui leur donnent vie en brossant l'histoire des communautés spectaculaires qui, dans la durée, "font et refont leurs états mentaux", pour parler comme Durkheim. Inscrites dans le continuum des pratiques sociales et dans l'histoire, ces formes ne se regroupent pas en idéaux-types aisément identifiables. La description s'attache ainsi aux situations et dispositifs borderline qui ne rentrent pas strictement dans les définitions ordinaires de cette forme. D'où une attention particulière portée aux expositions industrielles, aux interactions urbaines ordinaires; à la messe télévisée ou à l'opéra hors les murs, ou encore aux opérations conduisant à renouveler ou à déplacer la forme spectacle - la prédation, les iconoclasties médiatiques. Est également interrogée la parenté des formes spectaculaires contemporaines avec les rituels républicains, avec les dispositifs anciens ou extra-européens auxquels nous accolons rétrospectivement l'étiquette "spectacle". Articulé en trois parties, l'ouvrage explore, grâce à la contribution d'anthropologues, d'historiens et de sociologues, les régimes de spectacle en leurs diversités tout en questionnant leurs fondements. Il met ensuite en lumière leurs formes critiques pour proposer enfin une anthropologie des dispositifs spectaculaires numériques."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Jusqu'au XIXe siècle, l'auteur et l'acteur régnaient sur la scène. Ce n'est qu'autour de 1880 que le metteur en scène s'impose à leur côté et avec lui, un art nouveau, la mise en scène. Mais comment faisait-on avant, pour ordonner la pratique de la scène et lui donner sens et poésie ? C'est à cette question, adressée au théâtre de toute l'Europe, que ce livre veut répondre. Les études ici réunies dessinent les prémices véritables du théâtre d'aujourd'hui.

Abstract

This pathbreaking study links two traditionally separate genres as their stars crossed to explore the emergence of multiple selves in early modern Italian culture and society. Mauro Calcagno focuses on the works of Claudio Monteverdi, a master of both genres, to investigate how they reflect changing ideas about performance and role-playing by singers. Calcagno traces the roots of dialogic subjectivity to Petrarch's love poetry arguing that Petrarchism exerted a powerful influence not only on late Renaissance literature and art, but also on music. Covering more than a century of music and cultural history, the book demonstrates that the birth of opera relied on an important feature of the madrigalian tradition: the role of the composer as a narrative agent enabling performers to become characters and hold a specific point of view.

Abstract

In the first musicological study of Kurt Weill's complete stage works, Stephen Hinton charts the full range of theatrical achievements by one of twentieth-century musical theater's key figures. Hinton shows how Weill's experiments with a range of genres-from one-act operas and plays with music to Broadway musicals and film-opera-became an indispensable part of the reforms he promoted during his brief but intense career. Confronting the divisive notion of "two Weills"-one European, the other American-Hinton adopts a broad and inclusive perspective, establishing criteria that allow aspects of continuity to emerge, particularly in matters of dramaturgy. Tracing his extraordinary journey as a composer, the book shows how Weill's artistic ambitions led to his working with a remarkably heterogeneous collection of authors, such as Georg Kaiser, Bertolt Brecht, Moss Hart, Alan Jay Lerner, and Maxwell Anderson.

Abstract

This book introduces readers to the texts and imagery of the Dance of Death, a subject that first emerged in western European art and literature in the late medieval era. Depicting a long procession of representatives of different classes and ages, seized by prancing skeletons, the Dance eloquently communicated the message of the inevitability of death and the futility of human ambition. The image was frequently accompanied by verses, written in the vernacular, which comprised a dialogue between Death and its victims. The volume inquires into the theological, socio-historic, literary and artistic contexts of the Dance of Death, exploring it as a site of interaction between text, image and beholder. The first part of the book outlines the structures of visual, textual, aural, pastoral and performative discourses that informed the creation and reception of the Dance of Death images. The second part proposes different modes of viewing for four particular Dance of Death paintings, each of which—shaped by its artist, patron, local context and local audience—offered the beholder an active, kinesthetic experience necessarily predicated on movement.
