Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though much beloved and widely produced, Molière's satirical comedies pose a problem for those reading or staging his works today: how can a genre associated with biting caricature and castigation deliver engaging theater? Instead of simply dismissing social satire as a foundation for Molière's theater, as many have done, Larry F. Norman takes seriously Molière's claim that his satires are first and foremost effective theater. Pairing close readings of Molière's comedies with insightful accounts of French social history and aesthetics, Norman shows how Molière conceived of satire as a "public mirror" provoking dynamic exchange and conflict with audience members obsessed with their own images. Drawing on these tensions, Molière portrays characters satirizing one another on stage, with their reactions providing dramatic conflict and propelling comic dialogue. By laying bare his society's system of imagining itself, Molière's satires both enthralled and enraged his original audience and provide us with a crucial key to the classical culture of representation.

Download or read book Parody written by Margaret A. Rose and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-09-09 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this definitive work Margaret Rose presents an analysis and history of theories and uses of parody from ancient to contemporary times and offers a new approach to the analysis and classification of modern, late-modern, and post-modern theories of the subject. The author's Parody/Meta-Fiction (1979) was influential in broadening awareness of parody as a 'double-coded' device which could be used for more than mere ridicule. In the present study she both expands and revises the introductory section of her 1979 text and adds substantial new sections on modern and post-modern theories and uses of parody and pastiche which also discuss the work of theorists and writers including the Russian formalists, Mikhail Bakhtin, Hans Robert Jauss, Wolfgang Iser, Julia Kristeva, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Ihab Hassan, Jean Baudrillard, Fredric Jameson, A. S. Byatt, Martin Amis, Charles Jencks, Umberto Eco, David Lodge, Malcolm Bradbury and others.

Download or read book Shakespeare's Universe of Discourse written by Keir Elam and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1984-06-21 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes ample use of approaches to language within linguistics, semiotics, the philosophy of language and sociology, in order to do justice to the subtlety of Shakespeare's verbal artistry. Keir Elam adopts a fresh approach to the language of Shakespeare's comedies, considering it not simply as 'style' but as the principal dramatic and comic substance of the plays. Traditional analysis of the language as 'diction', 'expression' or 'verbal structure' is not adequate to describe the range and importance of linguistic functions in these plays. This book shows that in Shakespearean comedy language, or rather 'discourse', language in use, is always a dynamic, active protagonist of the drama. The author explores the extraordinary gamut of verbal activities or 'language-games' that contribute to the rich rhetorical make-up of the comedies. The historical framework complements the application of critical theory which will assure a readership among students and teachers of Shakespeare as well as those interested in liguistics and semiotics.

Download or read book Sociolinguistic Variation in Seventeenth-Century France written by Wendy Ayres-Bennett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-14 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic study of sociolinguistic variation in seventeenth-century France. Drawing on a range of case studies, Wendy Ayres-Bennett makes available data about linguistic variation in this period, showing the wealth and variety of language usage at a time that is considered to be the most 'standardising' in the history of French. Variation is analysed in terms of the speaker's 'pre-verbal constitution' - such as gender, age and socio-economic status - or by the medium, register or genre used. As well as examining linguistic variation itself, the book also considers the fundamental methodological issues that are central to all socio-historical linguistic accounts and, more importantly, addresses the question of what the appropriate sources are for linguists taking a socio-historical approach. In each chapter, the case studies present a range of phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexical issues, which pose different methodological questions for sociolinguists and historical linguists alike.

Download or read book Comedy in Context written by H. Gaston Hall and published by . This book was released on 2010-01-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comedy in Context: Essays on Moliere by H. Gaston Hall This book brings together a dozen essays devoted to the aspects of Moliere's stagecraft, each of which illustrates in its way Hall's thesis of comedy in context. It is only in the later generations that some knowledge of Moliere has become a part of French popular culture through universal education, for in his own time Moliere's art did not reach the vast majority even of Frenchmen. This volume of essays thus complements other studies of the comedies by focusing attention for an even larger audience upon the plays as Hall believes the playwright conceived them. The first seven essays consider questions and themes common to a number of Moliere's plays, and the last five deal with individual comedies in the order in which they were originally published: L'Ecole des femmes, Tartuffe, Dom Juan, and Le Misanthrope. All the essays convey the author's conviction that Moliere was a writer of comedies which can be properly understood only in the historical and literary context in which they were imagined, written, performed, and published. For Hall, the historical context of the comedies is clearly a reflection of Moliere's activities as an actor-manager of his own company as well as a reflection of the social conditions of seventeenth-century France. In addition, Hall shows the rich literary context of the plays by discussing resources of literary works and of authors that provided subjects for Moliere. Through a close analysis of the texts, Hall establishes historical and literary bases for the plays and gives them new dimension and meaning. H. Gaston Hall, a distinguished Moliere scholar, translator, and author of many learned works in French, Spanish, and Italian, is a reader in French at the University of Warwick in England.

Download or read book Molière and Plurality written by Larry W. Riggs and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacques Lacan's comments on Le Misanthrope focus on the inauthenticity of any unified discourse (173-75), which is also Molière's concern in that play, though he used different terms. Molière does not subscribe to the myth of the classicist subject, a subject characterized by a theoretically universal - and «universalizable» - ability to produce and consume «true, » impersonal language. The ineluctability of pluralism within the «individual, » as well as among people and sub-cultures, is a fundamental theme of Moliéresque comedy, and is particularly important in the plays studied here. The critical study of discourses which has flourished in recent criticism and theory has not only a legitimate object of study, but also a precursor and ally in Molière.

Download or read book French: From Dialect to Standard written by R. Anthony Lodge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written as a text, this book looks at the external history of French from its Latin origins to the present day through some of the analytical frameworks developed by contemporary sociolinguistics. French is one of the most highly standardized of the world's languages and the author invites us to see the language as heterogenous, rather than a monolithic entity, using the model proposed by E. Haugen as a useful comparative grid to plot the development of standardization. After an introductory section which examines the dialectalization of Latin in Gaul, the four central chapters of the book are constructed around the basic processes invoved in standardization as identified by Haugen: the selection of norms, the elaboration of function, codification and acceptance. The concluding chapter deals with language variability and the wide gulf that has now developed between French used for formal purposes and that used in everyday speech, with particular reference to Occitan speaking regions. Emphasizing the ordinary speakers of the language, rather than the statesmen or great authors as agents of change, the book combines a traditional history of the language' approach with a sociolinguistic framework to provide a broad and comparative overview of the problem of language standardization.

Book excerpt: Unlike the ingenue, the servant girl frequently participates as a shrewd countertactician in the ludic sphere. Toinette in Le Malade imaginaire provides an enlightening example of this character type, but her hilarity is not so much a sign of participation in the play world as a direct attack upon it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France's greatest tragedian, Jean Racine, is often admired for his poetic and tragic qualities. This book, on the other hand, explores the theatrical qualities of Racine's language and takes as its analytical tool two neglected parts of rhetoric, inventio and dispositio. How does Racine write exciting dialogue? He makes the persuasive interaction of characters a key feature of his dramatic technique and Word as Action shows how he deploys persuasion in well-defined contexts: trials, embassies, and councils; informal oratory as protagonists try to manipulate each other and their confidants in order to make their own views and wishes prevail; self-persuasion in monologues; and narrations, often used by characters with persuasive intent. The book draws illuminating and provocative comparisons with other playwrights and offers a closer and better documented description of the specific nature of Racine's theatrical language than has previously been available in any one study.
