Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Das Kapital of the 20th century,Society of the Spectacle is an essential text, and the main theoretical work of the Situationists. Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative. From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960's, in particular the May 1968 uprisings in France, up to the present day, with global capitalism seemingly staggering around in it’s Zombie end-phase, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism, and everyday life in the late 20th century. This ‘Red and Black’ translation from 1977 is Introduced by Notting Hill armchair insurrectionary Tom Vague with a galloping time line and pop-situ verve, and given a more analytical over view by young upstart thinker Sam Cooper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Danse, cirque, théâtre, opéra, marionnettes, autant d'arts de la scène qui reposent sur une relation éphémère entre des acteurs et des spectateurs. Dès lors, que reste-t-il de ces représentations où des hommes et des femmes se donnent, pour un temps limité, à se faire voir et entendre par d'autres? De ces fugitive materials: les voix, les intonations, les gestes ou les postures? Et que faire de ce qui ne figure pas immédiatement dans le champ de la représentation? De ce qui est hors cadre, en dehors du champ? L'historien(ne) du spectacle, et plus généralement tout observateur des arts de la scène, doit donc composer avec l'absence. Dans ces conditions, comment et pourquoi garder la trace de ces spectacles sans lendemain? Et faut-il vraiment le faire? Faisons l'hypothèse que le détour par les spectacles permet de reposer autrement la question de la formation de l'archive, de son autorité et de ses usages. Le spectacle doit faire quelque chose à l'archive, et les auteurs réunis dans ce livre nous en font la démonstration." Qu'archiver des arts du spectacle? Pourquoi d'ailleurs archiver? Et comment exploiter ces documents? Autant de problématiques transversales pour cet ouvrage collectif où se croisent et s'enrichissent regards d'artistes et de professionnels de l'archive. Circulant de ceux qui produisent ces arts "volatiles" à ceux qui les conservent, alliant considérations théoriques et pratiques, Spectacles en France. Archives et recherche creuse avec intelligence et perspicacité les interrogations sur le matériel et l'évanescent, le mouvement et la fixation, l'éphémère et la durée...

Book Synopsis The Spectacular Past by : Maurice Samuels
Download or read book The Spectacular Past written by Maurice Samuels and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struggling to make sense of the Revolution of 1789, the French in the nineteenth century increasingly turned to visual forms of historical representation in a variety of media. Maurice Samuels shows how new kinds of popular entertainment introduced during and after the Revolution transformed the past into a spectacle. The wax display (in which visitors circulated amid life-size statues of historical figures), the phantasmagoria show (in which images of historical personages were projected onto smoke or invisible screens), and the panorama (in which spectators viewed giant circular canvases depicting historical scenes) employed new optical technologies to entice crowds of spectators. Such entertainments, Samuels asserts, provided bourgeois audiences with an illusion of mastery over the past, allowing them to picture their new role as historical agents.Samuels demonstrates how the spectacular mode of historical representation pervaded historiography, drama, and the novel during the Romantic period. He then argues that the early Realist fiction of Balzac and Stendhal emerged as a critique of the spectacular historical imagination. By investigating how postrevolutionary France envisioned the past, Samuels illuminates a vital moment in the cultural history of modernity.
Book Synopsis Theatre Worlds in Motion by : S.E. Wilmer
Download or read book Theatre Worlds in Motion written by S.E. Wilmer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 779 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theatre Worlds in Motion aims to clarify the different theatre traditions and practices in Western Europe from a historical and sociological perspective. The book grew out of a perceived need among theatre scholars who had recognised that, while they understood the theatre system of their own country, they often found it difficult to discover how it compared with other countries. The chapters analyse the basic components and dynamics of theatre systems in seventeen Western European nations in order to elucidate how the systems function in general and how they vary in different cultures. The book provides a sense of what has been happening recently in particular countries, and indicates how the theatre systems have developed over time and have led to the current practices and structures. Each national chapter considers the historical tradition and place of theatre within the country and analyses the role of the state in fostering theatre during the last fifty years. Material from the national chapters has been used in two general chapters at the beginning and end of the book to provide an overview to developments in all Western Europe. The introductory chapter on decentralisation discusses the tendency amongst governments to encourage cultural development outside the national capital by providing subsidy for regional theatre venues and theatre companies and, in many cases, by developing the decision-making and budgetary powers for the theatre to regional and local authorities. The epilogue on the functioning of theatre examines the common structures of theatre in society as described in the seventeen national chapters, and it proposes areas for future research.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parisian Sights and French Principles, Seen Through American Spectacles: Second Series I Wish to take off my hat to my reader. A French bow would be more graceful, but it will take more time, and a greater flourish. I prefer to make his acquaintance with the plain but sincere Yankee nod. In bidding him good morning, I have only to say, that if he read these pages, he will find some truths frankly told, and some opinions frankly expressed. I have admired Paris, the Magnificent, but I have also inquired its cost. I have asked why Republicanism was a curse in France, and a blessing in America. In short, having some leisure hours during the past winter, I employed them in not only examining the outer world of this modern Athens, but in endeavoring to solve its inner life. The result is the following chapters; abruptly various, and full of contrasts like their topic. I commenced my notes for my own amusement. I publish them without being asked for two reasons; firstly, to tell the friendly public what I can make known to them in no other way, and secondly, because I have the curiosity, vanity if you please, to try my hand at making a book. Having brought you, gentle reader, to the threshold of my apartment, your courtesy will not allow you to do less, for my hospitality, than to take off your hat also, and walk in.

Book Synopsis The Melodramatic Thread by : James R. Lehning
Download or read book The Melodramatic Thread written by James R. Lehning and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This ambitious undertaking is concerned with the melodramatic form in theatre and film and its impact on French political culture.” —H-France Review In France, both political culture and theatrical performances have drawn upon melodrama. This “melodramatic thread” helped weave the country’s political life as it moved from monarchy to democracy. By examining the relationship between public ceremonies and theatrical performance, James R. Lehning sheds light on democratization in modern France. He explores the extent to which the dramatic forms were present in the public performance of political power. By concentrating on the Republic and the Revolution and on theatrical performance, Lehning affirms the importance of examining the performative aspects of French political culture for understanding the political differences that have marked France in the years since 1789. “In this thoroughly researched and persuasive book, Lehning provides a fascinating reading of public performances in modern France . . . This is an important contribution to the study of French culture and the democratization process . . . Essential.” —Choice “Lehning’s application of the themes of melodrama to French political culture offers new insights into French history. His style is lively, clear, and highly readable.” —Venita Datta, Wellesley College “The analyses in this book make a real contribution to debates about the ways in which art, particularly popular art, and politics interact; how politics itself is theatrical in the French case; and the role of ritual in politics and the function of politics as ritual and ceremony.” —John Gaffney, Aston University
