This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masks or Faces a Study in the Psychology of Acting The paradoxes of philosophy generally prove, on analysis, to be contradictions in terms; those Of art, on the other hand, are more often truisms turned inside out. This I believe to be a fair description of Diderot's celebrated Paradoxe sur le It undoubtedly contains a great deal of truth; but in so far as it is true it is not paradoxical. The paradox is brought in, sometimes in the shape of sheer over statement, more Often by means of a little nimble jugglery with ambiguous terms and misleading ana logies. In his arguments from analogy, Diderot does not rise to the fine frenzy of some of his fellow theorists. 'we no more think feeling a necessary ingredient in acting, ' cries one, than we should deem it expedient for a painter, after he had finished a like ness upon the canvas, to represent the heart, liver, brains, and the internal formation, on the back of it.' Another - this time an American - executes a still more surprising feat of logical. Legerdemain. 'did Rosa asks, with withering emphasis, feel like a horse-fair when she painted her great picture on that subject? Or did Longfellow feel like foot prints on the sands of time when he wrote that line of the Psalflé of se?' Diderot would no doubt admit that the zeal Of these disciples outruns their discretion; yet they merely burlesque some Of his own arguments.

Book Synopsis The Paradox of Tragedy by : D. D. Raphael
Download or read book The Paradox of Tragedy written by D. D. Raphael and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Paradox of Tragedy: The Mahlon Powell Lectures, 1959 My subject is philosophy, not literary criticism, and the topics raised are dealt with as philosophical questions. My knowledge of drama is somewhat limited, and I am con scious that my appreciation of it may be biased in some respects by the strong impression made upon me in my youth by the Greek dramatists. Even of them I do not write as a classical scholar, but at least I have read most of the plays. With later drama, however, it is a very dif ferent story, and I can well believe that a more extensive and more detailed knowledge would require qualification of my views. My illustrations from post-hellenic drama are pretty well confined to works written in English or French. Such acquaintance as I have with parts of French literature is largely due to my wife, and these essays owe much to her. When using passages from Greek prose or verse, or from French prose, I have thought it best to borrow or give an English translation and, so far as practicable, to dispense with quoting the original language, though I regret the inevitable loss of beauty - in Anouilh as well as in Sophocles.

Book Synopsis The Paradox of the Actor by : Denis Diderot
Download or read book The Paradox of the Actor written by Denis Diderot and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denis Diderot, The Paradox of the actor Diderot's "thesis is that a great actor must not be sensitive; or, in other words, that he must not feel the emotions he expresses. "Extreme sensitiveness makes poor actors; while absolute lack of sensitiveness is a quality of the highest acting." He sustains this view by six arguments, viz.: we can not repeat emotion at will, but the power is soon exhausted; the age when the comedian is at his greatest is not youth, when he is quick and full of emotion, but after he has had a long experience, when the ardor of his passions has subsided and his head is calm and his spirit self-possessed; certain facts going to show that the performer's real feelings are different from those which he is expressing on the stage; and, finally, his best argument, and the one on which his thesis mainly rests, that one can not do two things at a time. The actor has to be observant of his playing, to regulate its effects, his gestures, and his exclamations, to see that they are correct, to keep his mind on the scene, to recollect his part. All this critical work is incompatible with sincere emotion. When a person is really moved, when he feels some great woe, while he may indeed sink upon a chair as the actor does in the scene, he does not keep watch of his attitude while falling or think how to make it expressive and harmonious, but gives himself wholly up to his trouble."- Alfred Binet, The Paradox of Diderot.

Book Synopsis Greek Prose Composition (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Carr Pearson
Download or read book Greek Prose Composition (Classic Reprint) written by Henry Carr Pearson and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masks or Faces a Study in the Psychology of Acting To the average intellect, nothing is so alluring as a paradox. The reason is simple: in accepting a paradox, the average intellect feels that it has risen above the average. Any fool can believe what is possible and probable, but it demands no ordinary gifts, whether mental or spiritual, to believe what is absurd. How many an old philosophy has been based, like an inverted pyramid, on an almost imperceptible point of paradox! How many a world-embracing creed has sprung from a tiny contradiction in terms! What is a miracle, indeed, but a paradox in action.? He who has seen a table dancing a hornpipe, or an elderly gentleman reclining on the ceiling instead of on the sofa, naturally feels a certain superiority over the humdrum folk who have seen no miracles save those of Mr. Maskelyne. And if it seems a distinguished thing to believe a paradox, what must it be to invent one? Surely the summit of human ambition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Illusion of the First Time in Acting But is he a bad actor merely because he adopts his own methods and knows nothing about the art of other people? Well, I think perhaps he is. Altho he amuses me, I'm afraid he is a bad actor. But he is not as bad as he would be if that other type, who really knows the rules, took him in hand and tried to make him a good actor. Then he would be atrocious. As a matter of fact, he is an actor who can play only one kind of part. But he plays that better than any good actor living. Therefore the public, for whom the theater is run, gets the advantage. His reign lasts just as long as there are plays which require that type. If his part is a prominent one and he makes a very great success, so much the worse for him. He isthen placed in an exalted position from which he is bound to fall when the authors have worn themselves out in their frantic endeavor to hold him there; and he will automatically pass from the public ken, des tined merely to bob up now and then in a small part that lends itself to his personal ity - and destined to become a disappointed man for the rest of his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plays, Acting, and Music Spiritual Adventures. Side by side with these studies 1 the arts I have my own art, that of verse, which is, after my chief concern. In all my critical and theoretical writing I wish to be as little abstract as possible, and to study first principles, not so much as they exist in the brain of the theorist, but as they may be discovered, alive and in effective action, in every achieved form of art. I do not understand the limitation by which so many writers on aesthetics choose to confine them selves to the study of artistic principles as they are seen in this or that separate form of art. Each art has its own laws, its own capacities, its own limits; these it is the business of the critic jealously to distinguish. Yet, in the study of art as art, it should be his endeavour to master the universal science of beauty. July 1903./a Paradox on Art: p. 1. Technique and the Artist: p. 5. Nietzsche on Tragedy: p. 9.

Download or read book Acting Emotions written by Elly Konijn and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actors and actresses play characters such as the embittered Medea, or the lovelorn Romeo, or the grieving and tearful Hecabe. The theatre audience holds its breath, and then sparks begin to fly. But what about the actor? Has he been affected by the emotions of the character he is playing? What'sgoing on inside his mind? The styling of emotions in the theatre has been the subject of heated debate for centuries. In fact, Diderot in his Paradoxe sur le comedien, insisted that most brilliant actors do not feel anything onstage. This greatly resembles the detached acting style associated with Bertolt Brecht, which, in turn, stands in direct opposition to the notion of the empathy-oriented "emotional reality" of the actor which is most famously associated with the American actingstyle known as method acting. The book's survey of the various dominant acting styles is followed by an analysis of the current state of affairs regarding the psychology of emotions. By uniting the psychology of emotions with contemporary acting theories, the author is able to come to the conclusion that traditional acting theories are no longer valid for today's actor. Acting Emotions throws new light on the age-old issue of double consciousness, the paradox of the actor who must nightly express emotions while creating the illusion of spontaneity. In addition, the book bridges the gap between theory and practice by virtue of the author's large-scale field study of the emotions of professional actors. In Acting Emotions, the responses of Dutch and Flemish actors is further supplemented by the responses of a good number of American actors. The book offers a unique view of how actors act out emotions and how this acting out is intimately linked to the development of contemporary theatre.
