Abstract

Enacting History is a collection of new essays exploring the world of historical performances. The volume focuses on performances outside the traditional sphere of theatre, among them living history museums, battle reenactments, pageants, renaissance festivals, and adventure-tourism destinations. This volume argues that the recent surge in such performances have raised significant questions about the need for, interest in, and value of such nontraditional theater. Many of these performances claim a greater or lesser degree of historical ""accuracy"" or ""authenticity,"" and the aut

Abstract

"Theatre and history" seem to be opposing topics. One is presumed pretend, the other real; one occurs in the present, the other focuses firmly on the past; one appears to promote feeling, the other thinking - as if these categories are distinct. This thought-provoking text explores the problem of theatre as it meets history, and history as it meets theatre. It confronts received ideas about the two disciplines and the implications of this persistent divide, ultimately demonstrating how they are essential to each other and interwoven to a greater extent than is often acknowledged.

Abstract

Every summer thousands of people from all over the world gather in a Kentish field and leave the present firmly behind. They step out of their routine daily lives and transform into historical characters from the First and Second World Wars, often embracing their roles with such vigor and obsessive attention to detail that it is hard to imagine them outside of this fictitious combat zone. Taking on a different name, identity and sometimes even a different tongue, these roleplayers re-enact battles and drills from an imagined past to a degree that becomes something more than acting, a collective fantasy played out on a massive scale. London photographer Jim Naughten's portraits of these re-enactors are shot formally, in three-quarter profile, usually from the legs up, against white back drops--an effect that heightens the sense of artifice and anachronism.

Abstract

L'ouvrage Rejouer le vivant interroge la manière dont le passé est re-joué en fonction d'enjeux actuels à travers ses « reconstitutions » vivantes. Depuis le début du millénaire, les pratiques de reenactment suscitent l'engouement dans des sphères d'activité et des domaines aussi différents que les arts, l'histoire vivante, la télévision, les univers virtuels, etc... Ce goût de refaire indique l'émergence de nouvelles sensibilités à l'égard du passé. Qu'ils soient pratiqués par des amateurs, des professionnels ou des artistes, qu'ils recréent des événements historiques, des phénomènes culturels ou des œuvres performatives du passé, qu'ils aient des visées récréatives, artistiques, historiographiques ou patrimoniales, les reenactments manifestent un désir de réintégrer le corps, les affects, le performatif dans les représentations historiques. Ils réinventent les manières d'articuler les mémoires vivantes, les archives et les représentations médiatiques. Anachroniques, ils font dialoguer des historicités plurielles et hétérogènes avec notre actualité, permettant de mieux comprendre le monde d'aujourd'hui et d'agir sur lui. Leur succès est le signe d'une certaine démocratisation de l'histoire. L'histoire « reenactée » est une histoire négociée entre divers acteurs. Elle a la capacité de provoquer les débats et les polémiques indispensables à la vie démocratique, de faire émerger des formes d'agentivité. Mais qu'advient-il de cette portée politique et émancipatrice des reenactments, dès lors que les institutions et les industries culturelles et artistiques s'en saisissent, les initient et les produisent ? Cette appropriation ne risque-t-elle pas d'en désamorcer la charge critique ? Ne participe-t-elle pas, plutôt, d'un tournant dialogique de certaines pratiques institutionnelles ?
