Download or read book Phedre written by Jean Racine and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'oeuvre de Racine passe pour avoir amené la tragédie classique à son accomplissement et son harmonie4 . L'économie du propos, la rigueur de la construction (situation de crise menée à son acmé), la maîtrise de l'alexandrin et la profondeur de l'analyse psychologique ont élevé le corpus racinien au rang de modèle classique. Par son respect strict des unités de temps, de lieu et d'action, Racine refuse la primauté, la densité et l'héroïsme de l'action propres aux tragédies de Pierre Corneille, auquel il est souvent opposé. Il lui préfère un épurement de l'intrigue (parfois extrême, en particulier dans Bérénice) et l'intensité psychologique. Abandonnant le ton glorieux et moral du théâtre du début du xviie siècle, Racine soumet la vertu politique et la raison d'État, chères à Corneille, sous les contingences passionnelles. La passion soumet et détruit ses personnages tout-puissants (rois, empereurs, princesses) qui tentent en vain de lutter contre elle, perdant le sens du devoir jusqu'à la déraison ou la mort. Les passions, parmi lesquelles l'amour prime, sont le fondement du tragique racinien en ce qu'ils sont les instruments du destin. L'amour racinien suit en ordre général la structure du triangle amoureux, inexorable et cruel pour chacun des partis. Le fondement de ce tragique relève à ce titre de la confrontation de la démesure et de la déraison des passions avec l'humilité de la finitude des mortels. Les tragédies de Racine se fondent sur la conjonction de la crainte et de la pitié (les deux émotions fondamentales du théâtre antique5); la critique a souvent estimé que le dramaturge a ainsi cherché à associer la prédestination janséniste et le fatum antique. Consacré par la critique comme l'un des plus grands auteurs français de tragédies, il est l'un des trois dramaturges majeurs, avec Corneille et Molière, de la période classique en France. Aujourd'hui, il compte parmi les auteurs les plus joués à la Comédie-Française et dans le pays, et figure parmi les grandes références de la littérature universelle
Book Synopsis Nationalizing Empires by : Stefan Berger
Download or read book Nationalizing Empires written by Stefan Berger and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in Nationalizing Empires challenge the dichotomy between empire and nation state that for decades has dominated historiography. The authors center their attention on nation-building in the imperial core and maintain that the nineteenth century, rather than the age of nation-states, was the age of empires and nationalism. They identify a number of instances where nation building projects in the imperial metropolis aimed at the preservation and extension of empires rather than at their dissolution or the transformation of entire empires into nation states. Such observations have until recently largely escaped theoretical reflection.
Download or read book Stagestruck written by Lauren R. Clay and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stagestruck traces the making of a vibrant French theater industry between the reign of Louis XIV and the French Revolution. During this era more than eighty provincial and colonial cities celebrated the inauguration of their first public playhouses. These theaters emerged as the most prominent urban cultural institutions in prerevolutionary France, becoming key sites for the articulation and contestation of social, political, and racial relationships. Combining rich description with nuanced analysis based on extensive archival evidence, Lauren R. Clay illuminates the wide-ranging consequences of theater’s spectacular growth for performers, spectators, and authorities in cities throughout France as well as in the empire’s most important Atlantic colony, Saint-Domingue. Clay argues that outside Paris the expansion of theater came about through local initiative, civic engagement, and entrepreneurial investment, rather than through actions or policies undertaken by the royal government and its agents. Reconstructing the business of theatrical production, she brings to light the efforts of a wide array of investors, entrepreneurs, directors, and actors—including women and people of color—who seized the opportunities offered by commercial theater to become important agents of cultural change. Portraying a vital and increasingly consumer-oriented public sphere beyond the capital, Stagestruck overturns the long-held notion that cultural change flowed from Paris and the royal court to the provinces and colonies. This deeply researched book will appeal to historians of Europe and the Atlantic world, particularly those interested in the social and political impact of the consumer revolution and the forging of national and imperial cultural networks. In addition to theater and literary scholars, it will attract the attention of historians and sociologists who study business, labor history, and the emergence of the modern French state.
Book Synopsis Staging the French Revolution by : Mark Darlow
Download or read book Staging the French Revolution written by Mark Darlow and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, the theatre and opera of the French Revolution have been the subject of intense scholarly reassessment, both in terms of the relationship between theatrical works and politics or ideology in this period and on the question of longer-scale structures of continuity or rupture in aesthetics. Staging the French Revolution: Cultural Politics and the Paris Opera, 1789-1794 moves these discussions boldly forward, focusing on the Paris Opéra (Académie Royale de Musique) in the cultural and political context of the early French Revolution. Both institutional history and cultural study, this is the first ever full-scale study of the Revolution and lyric theatre. The book concentrates on three aspects of how a royally-protected theatre negotiates the transition to national theatre: the external dimension, such as questions of ownership and governance and the institution's relationship with State institutions and popular assemblies; the internal management, finances, selection and preparation of works; and the cultural and aesthetic study of the works themselves and of their reception. In Staging the French Revolution, author Mark Darlow offers an unprecedented view of the material context of opera production, combining in-depth archival research with a study of the works themselves. He argues that a mixture of popular and State interventions created a repressive system in which cultural institutions retained agency, compelling individuals to follow and contribute to a shifting culture. Theatre thereby emerged as a locus for competing discourses on patriotism, society, the role of the arts in the Republic, and the articulation of the Revolution's relation with the 'Old Regime', and is thus an essential key to the understanding of public opinion and publicity at this crucial historical moment. Combining recent approaches to institutions, sociability, and authors' rights with cultural studies of opera, Staging the French Revolution takes a historically grounded and methodologically innovative cross-disciplinary approach to opera and persuasively re-evaluates the long-standing, but rather sterile, concept of propaganda.

Download or read book Modern Genre Theory written by David Duff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Aristotle, genre has been one of the fundamental concepts of literary theory, and much of the world's literature and criticism has been shaped by ideas about the nature, function and value of literary genres. Modern developments in critical theory, however, prompted in part by the iconoclastic practices of modern writers and the emergence of new media such as film and television, have put in question traditional categories, and challenged the assumptions on which earlier genre theory was based. This has led not just to a reinterpretation of individual genres and the development of new classifications, but also to a radically new understanding of such key topics as the mixing and evolution of genres, generic hierarchies and genre-systems, the politics and sociology of genres, and the relations between genre and gender. This anthology, the first of its kind in English, charts these fascinating developments. Through judicious selections from major twentieth-century genre theorists including Yury Tynyanov, Vladimir Propp, Mikhail Bakhtin, Hans Robert Jauss, Rosalie Colie, Fredric Jameson, Tzvetan Todorov, Gérard Genette and Jacques Derrida, it demonstrates the central role that notions of genre have played in Russian Formalism, structuralism and post-structuralism, reception theory, and various modes of historical criticism. Each essay is accompanied by a detailed headnote, and the volume opens with a lucid introduction emphasising the international and interdisciplinary character of modern debates about genre. Also included are an annotated bibliography and a glossary of key terms, making this an indispensable resource for students and anyone interested in genre studies or literary theory.

Book Synopsis The Legend Of Napoleon by : Sudhir Hazareesingh
Download or read book The Legend Of Napoleon written by Sudhir Hazareesingh and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'God was bored with Napoleon,' wrote Victor Hugo, and the Emperor was duly defeated at Waterloo in 1815 and exiled to St Helena, where he died an agonizing and horrifying death. The Emperor's real legacy is the modernizing and beautifying of Paris, the official promotion of religious tolerance, the current French legal and educational systems, and the European Union, to name but a few Napoleonic initiatives. And of course, the legend lives on. Drawing on new archival research, Hazareesingh traces not only the emergence of the Napoleonic myth and how it developed into a potent political culture, but also the amazing tenacity of popular affection for the Emperor, manifest in countless busts and portraits in ordinary citizens' homes, grass-roots political activism, miraculous apparitions reported after his death and the memories kept alive by thousands of imperial war veterans. This book is a timely study of why the fascination with Napoleon has endured for two centuries.
Book Synopsis The Lyric Theory Reader by : Virginia Jackson
Download or read book The Lyric Theory Reader written by Virginia Jackson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading lyric poetry over the past century. The Lyric Theory Reader collects major essays on the modern idea of lyric, made available here for the first time in one place. Representing a wide range of perspectives in Anglo-American literary criticism from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the collection as a whole documents the diversity and energy of ongoing critical conversations about lyric poetry. Virginia Jackson and Yopie Prins frame these conversations with a general introduction, bibliographies for further reading, and introductions to each of the anthology’s ten sections: genre theory, historical models of lyric, New Criticism, structuralist and post-structuralist reading, Frankfurt School approaches, phenomenologies of lyric reading, avant-garde anti-lyricism, lyric and sexual difference, and comparative lyric. Designed for students, teachers, scholars, poets, and readers with a general interest in poetics, this book presents an intellectual history of the theory of lyric reading that has circulated both within and beyond the classroom, wherever poetry is taught, read, discussed, and debated today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's first gay, equine, military, epistolary romance. Newly discovered letters written from Wellington's warhorse (Marengo) to Napoleon's warhorse (Copenhagen) and vice versa. Includes extra material not featured in the Radio 4 series, both elements of the letters cut from the final scripts and additional material not featured in the shows at all, including the letters from Marengo to his hygienist and the horse he plays chess with, and the notes between Copenhagen and the annoying dog he has to share a stall with.
