    Die narrative Dimension ist in der theaterwissenschaftlich orientierten Aufführungsanalyse bislang unterrepräsentiert.Um dieses Desiderat zu beheben, untersucht die Arbeit nicht etwa von Figuren erzählte Passagen in einzelnen Aufführungen, sondern stellt generell die Frage: Wie erzählt das Theater? Die Theaternarratologie entwickelt somit erstmals auf Grundlage eines umfassenden theoretischen Fundaments in Bezug auf die Forschungsfelder der klassischen und postklassischen Narratologie und der Theaterwissenschaft ein heuristisches Analysemodell performativen Erzählens, das sich zur praktischen Anwendung in der erzähltheoretischen Aufführungsanalyse eignet. Die entwickelten Analysekategorien machen es möglich, das theatrale Erzählen intersubjektiv nachvollziehbar zu beschreiben und in narratologischer Hinsicht nicht nur in intertheatrale, sondern auch in intermediale Kontexte zu stellen. Performativität und Narrativität werden zusammen und nicht als Gegensätze gedacht, wodurch die Möglichkeit einer Annäherung theaterwissenschaftlicher und narratologischer Forschung gegeben wird

    "Shakespeare and Happiness is a study of attitudes to happiness in the early modern period and in Shakespeare's plays. It considers the conflicting influences of religion and Aristotelian philosophy in shaping attitudes to the possibility of attaining happiness. By being the first book to focus specifically on the representation of happiness in Shakespeare's plays, it contributes to feminist approaches to Shakespeare by foregrounding the important role of women in showing the right way to live and achieve happiness; timely criticism, as it considers Shakespeare in the current context of the #MeToo movement; providing new insights to studies of the emotions by approaching them from the perspective of research conducted by positive psychologists. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach that combines methodologies from literature, psychology philosophy, religion and history, by emphasizing the richness and complexity of Shakespeare's exploration of the nature of happiness. Kathleen French has a PhD from The University of Sydney. She is currently an Honorary Associate in the Department of English at The University of Sydney"--...

    Golden Age departures in historiography and theory of history in some ways prepared the ground for modern historical methods and ideas about historical factuality. At the same time, they fed into the period's own "aesthetic-historical culture" which amalgamated fact and fiction in ways modern historians would consider counterfactual: a culture where imaginative historical prose, poetry and drama self-consciously rivalled the accounts of royal chroniclers and the dispatches of diplomatic envoys; a culture dominated by a notion of truth in which skilful construction of the argument and exemplarity took precedence over factual accuracy. Literature and Historiography in the Spanish Golden Age: The Poetics of History investigates this grey area backdrop of modern ideas about history, delving into a variety of Golden Age aesthetic-historical works which cannot be satisfactorily described as either works of literature or works of historiography but which belong in between these later strictly separate categories.

    Suppose that, before he is writing fiction, before he is writing drama, before he is writing any of the autonomous, highly polished pieces that make up his life work, Beckett is writing Beckett. What follows from this? In Beckett Writing Beckett, H. Porter Abbott argues that, by the time he had written Waiting for Godot, Beckett's art had crystallized as a life project keyed to the simultaneous action of writing and reading the self.How does such an interpretive shift change the way we see the salient features of Beckett's art: his extraordinary and persistent assaults on narrative, his restless exploration of genres and media, his attempts to exercise autocratic control over performance and publication, his increasingly musical formal structures, his tireless capacity to invent? How, moreover, does this view relate to the contempt for autobiography so pervasive in Beckett's work?In approaching these questions, Beckett Writing Beckett seeks to redirect current discussion of such concepts as "the author" and "originality." Arguing on several widely contested fronts in Beckett criticism, including such vexed issues as Beckett's postmodernism, his politics, and his relation to his audience, Abbott develops an interpretive method grounded in the concept of"autographical action." The method allows Abbott to articulate the centrality of the inexhaustible strangeness of Beckett's work, and to do so without robbing that strangeness of its power to surprise

  6. The Aesthetics of Antichrist

    In Dr. Faustus, Christopher Marlowe wrote a profoundly religious drama despite the theater's newfound secularism and his own reputation for anti-Christian irreverence. The Aesthetics of Antichrist explores this apparent paradox by suggesting that, long before Marlowe, Christian drama and ritual performance had reveled in staging the collapse of Christianity into its historical opponents—paganism, Judaism, worldliness, heresy. By embracing this tradition, Marlowe's work would at once demonstrate the theatricality inhering in Christian worship and, unexpectedly, resacralize the commercial theater.The Antichrist myth in particular tells of an impostor turned prophet: performing Christ's life, he reduces the godhead to a special effect yet in so doing foretells the real second coming. Medieval audiences, as well as Marlowe's, could evidently enjoy the constant confusion between true Christianity and its empty look-alikes for that very reason: mimetic degradation anticipated some final, as yet deferred revelation. Mere theater was a necessary prelude to redemption. The versions of the myth we find in Marlowe and earlier drama actually approximate, John Parker argues, a premodern theory of the redemptive effect of dramatic representation itself. Crossing the divide between medieval and Renaissance theater while drawing heavily on New Testament scholarship, Patristics, and research into the apocrypha, The Aesthetics of Antichrist proposes a wholesale rereading of pre-Shakespearean drama

    This book considers some of the main adaptations of the character of Cleopatra for the Renaissance stage, travelling from Italy to England to arrive finally to Shakespeare. It shows how each reading of the story of Cleopatra is unique to and expressive of the culture which produced it, even as writers drew from the same sources from Antiquity. For the first time texts belonging to different cultures, rigorously presented, are brought into dialogue on such questions as moral standpoint, gender and the representation of the exotic. Moreover, through the fascinating figure of Cleopatra, the reader is able to explore the development of Renaissance tragedy, in its commercial and non-commercial versions. Ultimately both questions at the heart of this study - concerning Cleopatra's identity and her translation into theatre - converge to be (dis)solved by Shakespeare

    Im Jahr 1996 prophezeit die Pariser Zeitung Libération nach dem Besuch der Performance Le Cri du Chaméléon eine dritte Ära des Zirkus: den Zeitgenössischen Zirkus. Die Prognose wird Realität: Nicht nur in Frankreich, sondern auch international gilt das Stück des Regisseurs Joseph Nadj als Startpunkt eines neuen Genres, das aktuell in den Fokus verschiedener wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen gerät. – Ein Modell zur kohärenten Aufführungsanalyse der Darbietungen steht jedoch bis heute nicht zur Verfügung.Diesem Desiderat trägt "Lektüren des Zeitgenössischen Zirkus" Rechnung und entwickelt erstmals in Rückgriff auf die Lektüretheorien der Literatur-, Theater- und Tanzwissenschaft eine Methodik zur Analyse von zeitgenössischen Zirkusdarbietungen. Darüber hinaus dokumentiert und interpretiert der Band das Genre durch eine methodisch dichte, d.h. kontextualisierende Beschreibung des Gegenstandes – der Aufführung – dezidiert in seinem historisch-kulturellen Kontext und liefert damit im Sinne Lessings eine rezeptionsästhetische Dramaturgie des Zeitgenössischen Zirkus, die trotz der Diversität der Aufführungen generalisierbare Merkmale, das grundlegende Verfahren und die Bau- und Wirkungsweise der Stücke offenlegt This volume adapts a semiotic text-context model for the analysis of the contemporary circus, a topic that has gone largely unexplored. It is the first study to document and interpret the genre based on theories of textual scholarship

    Die in Le Mans veröffentlichten neulateinischen Tragödien des französischen Rhetoriklehrers und katholischen Pfarrers Jean Portier (Ioannes Porterius) fanden bisher in der Forschung zum neulateinischen Drama nahezu keine Beachtung. In dieser Untersuchung wird das 1621 erschienene Stück ʻAthamantis Furorʼ exemplarisch erschlossen. Das Werk führt das tragische Unglück des mythischen Königs Athamas vor, der im Wahn seinen eigenen Sohn Learchus ermordet. Portier orientiert sich in der sprachlichen und dramatischen Gestaltung wesentlich an antiken, vor allem lateinischen Texten und folgt weitestgehend den Gattungskonventionen der antiken Tragödie. Insbesondere Senecas Dramen üben starken Einfluss auf ihn aus. Gleichzeitig gelingt es Portier bisweilen, sich in innovativer Weise von den antiken Vorbildern abzusetzen und der Dramatisierung des Athamas-Mythos eigene Akzente zu verleihen. Den Kern der vorliegenden Studie bilden Textedition, erstmalige Übersetzung sowie Interpretation und Kommentierung der Tragödie mit Fokus auf der klassisch-philologischen Analyse. Die so geleistete grundlegende Erschließung soll daneben auch anderen Disziplinen die Möglichkeit eröffnen, sich mit Portiers Œuvre zu beschäftigen In his 1621 New Latin tragedy Athamantis Furor, the French rhetoric teacher and Catholic pastor Jean Portier (Ioannes Porterius) dramatized the misfortunes of the mythic King Athamas. He was heavily influenced by ancient texts. This volume provides a new edition of his play, translates it into German for the first time, and interprets and provides commentary on it, focusing on classical reception

    Das deutsche 18. Jahrhundert gilt, ausgelöst durch das kulturanthropologische Interesse am ,ganzen Menschen', zunehmend als eine Epoche der Entdeckung der Körpersprache und der natürlichen Schauspielkunst, die die rhetorisch bestimmte Schauspielaktion ablöst. Demgegenüber ist die Tatsache, dass es sich um verschriftlichte Körpersprache handelt, bis jetzt vernachlässigt worden, so dass die Regiebemerkungen kaum eingehender untersucht wurden. Eine Leitthese der vorliegenden Studie ist, dass mit der Literarisierung des Dramas im 18. Jahrhundert auch eine Entwicklung hin zur literarischen Bedeutsamkeit der Regiebemerkungen einhergeht. Während theaterwissenschaftliche Arbeiten die Regiebemerkungen wegen ihres transitorischen Charakters meist kaum beachten, wird dieser konstitutive Teil des Dramentextes hier ins Zentrum der Analyse gestellt, so dass die Funktion dieser Texträume für den Leser ins Blickfeld gerät. Neben kanonischen Texten von Lessing, Lenz, Goethe und Schiller werden auch weniger bekannte Dramen Friederike Caroline Neubers, Christiane Karoline Schlegels und August von Kotzebues sowie in komparatistischer Perspektive Texte Diderots in exemplarischen Dramenanalysen daraufhin untersucht, ob und wie sich der paradigmatische Wandel des Theaters in einen Aktionsraum im 18. Jahrhundert in den Regiebemerkungen manifestiert

    The category of theatrical character has been swiftly dismissed in the academic reception of no-longer-dramatic texts and performances. However, claims on the dissolution of character narrowly demarcate what a subject is and how it may appear. This volume unmoors theatre scholarship from the regulatory ideals of liberal humanism, stretching the notion of character to encompass and illuminate otherwise unaccounted-for subjects, aesthetic strategies and political gestures in recent theatre works. To this aim, contemporary philosophical theories of subjectivation, European theatre studies, and experimental, script-led work produced in Britain since the late 1990s are mobilised as discussants on the question of subjectivity. Four contemporary playtexts and their performances are examined in depth: Sarah Kane's Crave and 4.48 Psychosis, Ed Thomas's Stone City Blue and Tim Crouch's ENGLAND. Through these case studies, Delgado-García demonstrates alternative ways of engaging theoretically with character, and elucidating a range of subjective figures beyond identity and individuality. Alongside these analyses, the book traces a large body of work that has experimented with speech attribution since the early twentieth-century. This is a timely contribution to contemporary theatre scholarship, which demonstrates that character remains a malleable and politically-salient notion in which understandings of subjectivity are still being negotiated

    In Eugene O'Neill's Creative Struggle, Doris Alexander gives us a new kind of inside biography that begins where the others leave off. It follows O'Neill through the door into his writing room to give a blow-by-blow account of how he fought out in his plays his great life battles—love against hate, doubt against belief, life against death—to an ever-expanding understanding. It presents a new kind of criticism, showing how O'Neill's most intimate struggles worked their way to resolution through the drama of his plays. Alexander reveals that he was engineering his own consciousness through his plays and solving his life problems—while the tone, imagery, and richness of the plays all came out of the nexus of memories summoned up by the urgency of the problems he faced in them. By the way of O'Neill, this study moves toward a theory of the impulse that sets off a writer's creativity, and a theory of how that impulse acts to shape a work, not only in a dramatist like O'Neill but also in the case of writers in other mediums, and even of painters and composers. The study begins with Desire Under the Elms because that play's plot was consolidated by a dream that opened up the transfixing grief that precipitated the play for O'Neill, and it ends with Days Without End when he had resolved his major emotional-philosophical struggle and created within himself the voice of his final great plays. Since the analysis brings to bear on the plays all of his conscious decisions, ideas, theories, as well as the life-and-death struggles motivating them, documenting even the final creative changes made during rehearsals, this book provides a definitive account of the nine plays analyzed in detail (Desire Under the Elms, Marco Millions, The Great God Brown, Lazarus Laughed, Strange Interlude, Dynamo, Mourning Becomes Electra, Ah, Wilderness!, and Days Without End, with additional analysis of plays written before and after.

    This volume celebrates Thomas Middleton's legacy as a dramatist, marking the 400th anniversary of Middleton's final and most contentious work for the public theatres, A Game at Chess (1624). The collection is divided into three sections: Critical and Textual Reception', Afterlives and Legacies', and Practice and Performance'. This division reflects the book's holistic approach to Middleton's canon, and its emphasis on the continuing significance of Middleton's writing to the study of early modern English drama. Each section offers an assessment of the place of Middleton's drama in culture, criticism, and education today through a range of critical approaches. Featuring work from a range of voices (from early career, independent, and seasoned academics and practitioners), the collection will be appropriate for both specialists in early modern literature and drama who are interested in both theory and practice, and students or scholars researching Middleton's historical significance to the study of early theatre

    "Plays of Our Own is the first anthology of its kind containing an eclectic range of plays by Deaf and hard-of-hearing writers. These writers have made major, positive contributions to world drama or Deaf theatre arts. Their topics range from those completely unrelated to deafness to those with strong deaf-related themes such as: a dreamy, headstrong girl surviving a male-dominated world in Depression-era Ireland; a famous Spanish artist losing his hearing while creating his most controversial art; a Deaf African-American woman dealing with AIDS in her family; and a deaf peddler ridiculed and rejected by his own kind for selling ABC fingerspelling cards. The plays are varied in style - a Kabuki western, an ensemble-created variety show, a visual-gestural play with no spoken nor signed language, a cartoon tragicomedy, historical and domestic dramas, and a situation comedy. This volume contains the well-known Deaf Theatre classics: Tales from a Clubroom, Sign Me Alice, My Third Eye, and A Play of Our Own. At long last, directors, producers, deaf and hearing students, professors, and researchers will be able to pick up a book of "Deaf plays" for production consideration, Deaf culture or multicultural analysis, or the simple pleasure of reading"--...

    "The book explores how theatre, with its performative capacity, has the power to engage with and affect the politics of its day. It sets the stage for the reader to discover the revolutionary traditions of Egyptian and Irish theatre, very distinct in their histories and cultures, and understand their enduring relevance in today's world. The volume takes Ireland as a case study of the interplay between cultural nationalism and politically engaged theatre and compares it to the role of the theatre in Egypt during its Golden era in the 1960s. Through a selection of Egyptian plays by Tawfiq al-Hakim, Mikhail Roman, Yusuf Idris, and Salah Abdul-Saboor, alongside Irish plays by Brian Friel, Frank McGuinness, Christina Reid, and Samuel Beckett, it maps the political aesthetics of unsteady times and seemingly disparate places to reflect on the dynamics of revolt as a staged act in and of itself. Further, the book examines how playwrights from both nations have engaged with theatre as a medium, focusing on how their contemplations, hesitations, frustrations, and protest have been translated onto the stage in their various plays, and comprehends the transformative role the theatre has always played in politics in shaping history across time and space. Bridging together discussions on transnational modernisms with nuanced cultural histories of protest, this critical work will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literary studies, identity politics, cultural studies, theatre and performance studies, and political studies"--...

    Massinger's Italy: Re-Imagining Italian Culture in the Plays of Philip Massinger offers the first book-length account of the pervasive influence of Italian culture on the canon of Philip Massinger, one of the most successful playwrights of the post-Shakespearean period. This volume explores the relationships between Massinger and Italian literary, dramatic and intellectual culture in the larger context of Anglo-Italian cultural exchanges. The book investigates the influence of Italian culture, considering Massinger's engagement and appropriation of Italian texts, dramatic and political theories and ideas related to the country and his use of Italy as a setting. Massinger's Italy offers a fresh and unexpected perspective on the development of Anglo-Italian discourse on the early modern English stage, showing to what extent Massinger contributed to the myth of Italy and to the circulation of Italian culture and shedding light on the complex system of Anglo-Italian interconnections within the corpus of Massinger's plays as well as with the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries

    Why are early modern English dramatists preoccupied with unfinished processes of "making" and "unmaking"? And what did the terms "finished" or "incomplete" mean for dramatists and their audiences in this period? Making and unmaking in early modern English drama is about the significance of visual things that are 'under construction' in works by playwrights including Shakespeare, Robert Greene and John Lyly. Illustrated with examples from across visual and material culture, it opens up new interpretations of the place of aesthetic form in the early modern imagination. Plays are explored as a part of a lively post-Reformation visual culture, alongside a diverse range of contexts and themes, including iconoclasm, painting, sculpture, clothing and jewellery, automata and invisibility. Asking what it meant for Shakespeare and his contemporaries to "begin" or "end" a literary or visual work, this book is essential reading for scholars and students of early modern English drama, literature, visual culture and history.

    In Eugene O'Neill's Creative Struggle, Doris Alexander gives us a new kind of inside biography that begins where the others leave off. It follows O'Neill through the door into his writing room to give a blow-by-blow account of how he fought out in his plays his great life battles-love against hate, doubt against belief, life against death-to an ever-expanding understanding. It presents a new kind of criticism, showing how O'Neill's most intimate struggles worked their way to resolution through the drama of his plays. Alexander reveals that he was engineering his own consciousness through his plays and solving his life problems-while the tone, imagery, and richness of the plays all came out of the nexus of memories summoned up by the urgency of the problems he faced in them. By the way of O'Neill, this study moves toward a theory of the impulse that sets off a writer's creativity, and a theory of how that impulse acts to shape a work, not only in a dramatist like O'Neill but also in the case of writers in other mediums, and even of painters and composers. The study begins with Desire Under the Elms because that play's plot was consolidated by a dream that opened up the transfixing grief that precipitated the play for O'Neill, and it ends with Days Without End when he had resolved his major emotional-philosophical struggle and created within himself the voice of his final great plays. Since the analysis brings to bear on the plays all of his conscious decisions, ideas, theories, as well as the life-and-death struggles motivating them, documenting even the final creative changes made during rehearsals, this book provides a definitive account of the nine plays analyzed in detail (Desire Under the Elms, Marco Millions, The Great God Brown, Lazarus Laughed, Strange Interlude, Dynamo, Mourning Becomes Electra, Ah, Wilderness!, and Days Without End, with additional analysis of plays written before and after

He completed just two of the proposed eleven plays-A Touch of the Poet and More Stately Mansions-which Zander Brietzke argues represent the core of the entire cycle. Combining archival research, literary analysis, and theatrical imagination, Magnum Opus invites an audience to see this unusual and exciting epic as a historical drama of our time

    This book began with a simple question: when readers such as us encounter the term magic or figures of magicians in early modern texts, dramatic or otherwise, how do we read them? In the twenty-first century we have recourse to an array of genres and vocabulary from magical realism to fantasy fiction that does not, however, work to read a historical figure like John Dee or a fictional one he inspired in Shakespeare's Prospero. Between longings to transcend human limitation and the actual work of producing, translating, and organizing knowledge, figures such as Dee invite us to re-examine our ways of reading magic only as metaphor. If not metaphor then what else? As we parse the term magic, it reveals a rich context of use that connects various aspects of social, cultural, religious, economic, legal and medical lives of the early moderns. Magic makes its presence felt not only as a forms of knowledge but in methods of knowing in the Renaissance. The arc of dramatists and texts that this book draws between Doctor Faustus, The Tempest, The Alchemist and Comus: A Masque at Ludlow Castle offers a sustained examination of the epistemologies of magic in the context of early modern knowledge formation.
