Começamos com a proposição do que seria uma possível poética do neutro, na introdução. No capítulo um, abordamos o neutro em sua relação com o dehors, a partir da História da loucura (1961) de Foucault e da leitura desta obra feita por Pélbart (1989). A preocupação é contextualizar o neutro para, no capítulo seguinte, trazê-lo em relação com as exigências da "cruel razão poética", abordada por Blanchot (1969) a partir da leitura de Artaud, aproximando as poéticas desses dois autores. Em seguida, no capítulo três, com o apoio de Dubreuil (2003), partiremos da análise de dois textos ¿ Thomas L'Obscur de Blanchot e "Carta à vidente" de Artaud ¿ a propósito da ideia de possessão, tal como esta encontra espaço em suas concepções sobre a criação poética. O objetivo é, depois de aproximar Artaud e Blanchot, situar onde a escrita deles é diferente, muito embora partam de questões semelhantes. Isto feito, tornamo-nos capazes de afirmar, com o auxílio do mito das sereias, a escrita do neutro como a articulação de uma "metalinguagem dramática" que permite a Blanchot, ao aproveitar-se das estruturas do pensamento mítico, realizar seu pensamento em um terreno provisório / Abstract: This dissertation proposes a study on the writing of the neutral in Maurice Blanchot. We start with the proposition of a possible poetic of the neutral. In chapter one, we approach the neutral by its relationship with the dehors from Madness and Civilization (Foucault, 1961) and the reading of this work done by Pelbart (1989). The concern is to contextualize the neutral and bring it in relation to the demands of the "cruel poetic reason", addressed by Blanchot (1969) from reading Artaud. Then, in chapter three, with the support of Dubreuil (2003), we will base the analysis of two texts - Thomas L'Obscur (Blanchot, 1950) and "Letter to the clairvoyant" (Artaud, 1929) - in connection with the idea of possession, as this finds room in their conceptions of poetic creation. The objective is, after approaching Artaud and Blanchot, place them where their writing is different, even though departing from similar issues. This done, we become able to claim, with the aid of the myth of mermaids, the writing of the neutral as the articulation of a "dramatic meta-language" that allows Blanchot to perform his own thinking on a temporary ground by availing the mythical thought structures / Mestrado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária

This thesis examines works of theatre and film that explore a refusal of acting. Acting has traditionally been considered as something false or as pretending, in opposition to everyday life, which has been considered as something real and truthful. This has resulted in a desire to refuse acting, evident in the tradition of the anti-theatrical prejudice where acting is considered to be seductive and dangerous. All the works that I examine in this thesis are relatively recent and all of them explore the paradox that in our (postmodern) times a gradual reversal has occurred where everyday life is seen as more and more false or as pretending or simulating (ie. containing acting and theatricality) and conversely, acting in theatre and film has become the place where people have begun searching for reality and truth and where ‘acting’ and pretending in life can be revealed and refused. The result of this paradox - and what I also discuss as a confusion of acting and living - is that the place in which acting can be refused has shifted; the ethical desire to refuse acting (in theatre and in life) is turning up in the aesthetic domain of acting itself. In my first chapter I study works by filmmaker István Szabó and playwright Werner Fritsch, who represent the desire to refuse acting in the context of fascism where theatrical and filmic spectacle was used by the Nazis to seduce the population and where actors during this period also experienced an inability to separate their political and artistic lives. In my second chapter I look at the way Genet’s The Balcony and Ang Lee’s Lust, Caution explore the desire to refuse acting as a result of a confusion of acting and living in the context of sexual (sadomasochistic) role-play. And in my third chapter I examine the way Warhol’s The Chelsea Girls, von Trier’s The Idiots and Affleck’s I’m Still Here represent a refusal of acting and theatricality altogether, responding to the way that ‘acting’ in life may have become an all-pervasive substitute (a simulation) for living. Foundational to the development of this thesis and a major source of material is my analysis of three theatrical productions with Free Theatre Christchurch, directed by Peter Falkenberg, in which I was involved as an actor and in which a refusal of acting was explored.

This thesis explores the notion of ‘experimental voice’ in avant-garde performance, in the way it transgresses conventional forms of vocal expression as a means of both extending and enhancing the expressive capabilities of the voice, and reframing the social and political contexts in which these voices are heard. I examine these avant-garde voices in relation to three different liminal contexts in which the voice plays a central role: in ritual vocal expressions, such as Greek lament and Māori karanga, where the voice forms a bridge between the living and the dead; in electroacoustic music and film, where the voice is dissociated from its source body and can be heard to resound somewhere between human and machine; and from a psychoanalytic perspective, where the voice may bring to consciousness the repressed fears and desires of the unconscious. The liminal phase of ritual performance is a time of inherent possibility, where the usual social structures are inverted or subverted, but the liminal is ultimately temporary and conservative. Victor Turner suggests the concept of the ‘liminoid’ as a more transgressive alternative to the liminal, allowing for permanent and lasting social change. It may be in the liminoid realm of avant-garde performance that voices can be reimagined inside the frame of performance, as a means of exploring new forms of expression in life. This thesis comes out of my own experience as a performer and is informed both by theoretical discourse and practical experimentation in the theatre. Exploring the voice as a liminal, transgressive force requires analysis from an experiential perspective.

Ce mémoire traite globalement de l'influence de la musique populaire sur la création de nouvelles musiques d'art, et plus spécifiquement de l'influence du true norwegian black metal (TNBM) sur quatre de mes compositions récentes. Dans la première partie du chapitre I, nous exposons les aspects musicaux et extramusicaux des principales périodes du black metal afin de bien comprendre la genèse du TNBM. Dans la seconde partie du chapitre I, nous abordons spécifiquement le TNBM de la même façon. Dans le chapitre II, nous démontrons concrètement, à l'aide de plusieurs exemples, les modes d'influence des musiques du TNBM sur les quatre musiques à l'étude. Ces types d'influence sont au nombre de cinq : les caractères propres au TNBM, ses caractéristiques structurelles, les techniques d'écriture employées, la gestion des hauteurs et les techniques instrumentales typiques. Je dresse un portrait sommaire en conclusion des enjeux importants de ma musique à venir : la musique de timbre et l'accessibilité de la musique d'art à un large public.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to employ a theatrological approach to the work of one of the most original and influential Czech pantomime troupes of all time, entitled Pantomima Alfreda Jarryho (the Alfred Jarry Pantomime, AJP). The company was established in 1966 in Prague by two young mime artists Boris Hybner and Ctibor Turba and existed as late as the political liquidation of the troupe in 1972 that came due to the process of the so-called normalization period in the former Czechoslovakia. The thesis consists of four major parts that are divided into several subsections. The first part deals with the historical contexts of the art of mime, both international and domestic. The AJP troupe represents the second generation of Czech pantomime that refused the style of the so-called modern pantomime expressed in the international context by Marcel Marceau and in the Czech context by Ladislav Fialka at the Theatre Na zábradlí (Theatre on the Balustrade). Since there is no monograph strictly based on this theatre, although it played a major role among the newly established small theatres in the sixties (and had an important influence on the poetics of the AJP troupe), we briefly introduce the poetics of both the pantomime company led by Fialka and the drama company led by the director Jan Grossman,...
