Two Laureates and a Whore Debate Decorum and Delight: Dryden, Shadwell, and Behn in a Decade of Comedy A-la-Mode

Chapman, Patricia Ann 04 December 2006 (has links)
The comedies of John Dryden, Thomas Shadwell, and Aphra Behn were equally well-received by Restoration audiences, yet each dramatist professes divergent dramatic theories and poetic goals. In prefatory material to their plays, Shadwell insists a dramatist’s duty is to depict virtue rewarded and vice punished, Behn rejects the idea that comic drama might influence morals or manners, and Dryden maintains that his only goal is to please the audience, despite his dull conversation and lack of wit. A comparison between the playwrights’ dramatic theory and their most popular comedies of the 1668-77 decade indicates that none of them represent with any accuracy their own (or others’) work. Shadwell abandons his didactic goals in pursuit of approbation and income, while Behn unswervingly attacks social issues prevalent in a patriarchal society. Dryden’s comedies—witty and fast-paced despite his protestations—also address weaknesses in the patriarchal system and condemn the commodification of marriage.

Jean Vilar, de la tradition théâtrale à l'utopie nécessaire : contribution à l'étude de la pensée de Vilar conduite à la lumière de ses textes / Jean Vilar, from theatrical tradition to necessary utopia : a contribution to the study of Vilar's thought in the light of his texts

Montillet, Louis 17 October 2014 (has links)
L’image de l’homme de théâtre Jean Vilar reste aujourd’hui bien réductrice. Elle peut se résumer en deux mots : Avignon, TNP. L’étude vise à effacer cette caricature, tente de retrouver le parcours de Vilar dans sa totalité : se soustraire à la légende et recouvrer l’histoire. Formation, influences, hésitations, impasses, difficultés tout au long de son chemin avant de rencontrer le théâtre. Autrement dit, dévoiler un itinéraire d’homme et non pas une icône. Itinéraire également, celui du praticien et de la réflexion née du travail en vingt-cinq ans de carrière. Au sein des trois composantes qui constituent à ses yeux l’essentiel de son art – répertoire, réalisation, public – Vilar fait-il montre d’une pensée univoque ou au contraire laisse-t-il entrevoir des ruptures, voire des contradictions ? Conduite à partir de ses textes – écrits et oraux – publiés ou inédits, l’étude dessine un Vilar bien plus complexe que l’image qui en reste ne le laisse soupçonner. Parfois malaisé à saisir, bâti de doutes et de certitudes, de mal être et d’assurance, de timidité et d’orgueil, d’échecs et de réussites, tel est l’homme qui a marqué d’un sceau indélébile le théâtre du milieu du vingtième siècle. / The image of the man of the theatre Jean VILAR remains quite reductive today. It can besummed up in two words: Avignon, TNP. The study aims erasing this caricature, it tries to recover VILAR’s course in full: getting out of the legend and back to history. Training, influences, hesitations, deadlocks, difficulties all along his way before he met the theatre. In other words, revealing the itinerary of a man and not a mere icon. An itinerary as well, that of the practitioner and of the thought that grew out of a twenty five years’ career in theatrical work. Within the three components he considers as the very main points of his art – repertoire, creation, audience – does VILAR display a univocal thought or on the contrary does he let one have an inkling of breakings or even of contradictions? Led from his texts – both written and oral – published or unpublished, the study shows a VILAR who is much more complex than the image that remains of him allows one to suspect. Sometimes rather difficult to grasp, built up on doubts and certitudes, ill-being and self-assurance, shyness and pride, failures and successes, such is the man who left an indelible mark on the theatre of the middle of the twentieth century.

A critical analysis of Wole Soyinka as a dramatist, with special reference to his engagement in contemporary issues

Lunga, Majahana John Chonsi January 1994 (has links)
This dissertation is mainly on Wole Soyinka as a dramatist. It aims to show that Soyinka, far from being an irrelevant artist as some of his fiercest critics have alleged, is a deeply committed writer whose works are characterised by a strong sense of concern with basic human values of right and wrong, good and evil. Furthermore, the dissertation shows that although Soyinka is not an admirer of Marxist aesthetics, he is certainly not in the art-for-art's-sake camp either, I because he is fully aware of the utilitarian value of literature. Soyinka's works are much influenced by his social and historical background, and the dissertation shows that Soyinka's socio-political awareness pervades all these works, although it will be seen that in the later plays there is a sharpened political awareness. Although largely concerned with his own country's issues, Soyinka also emerges as a keen observer of humanity universally / English Studies / M.A. (English)

La place et le rôle de l'auteur dans le théâtre d'aujourd'hui : essai d'analyse socio-littéraire / The Place and Role of the Dramatist in the Theatre of Today

Fréri, Nathalie 18 October 2012 (has links)
Si le théâtre est le lieu de l’élaboration de la langue où le poète a naturellement sa place, force est de constater que l’auteur dramatique des années deux mille peine paradoxalement à trouver sa place dans le théâtre et la société de son temps. Confrontés à la frilosité institutionnelle, à la méfiance des publics et à une méconnaissance généralisée, les auteurs dramatiques actuels tentent de faire entendre leur voix et n’hésitent pas à revendiquer leurs droits auprès des instances publiques. Ce travail se propose de porter un regard actuel et transversal sur la place et la fonction de l’auteur dramatique, en le posant comme une entité humaine qui évolue dans un milieu artistique et social concret. Après avoir retracé le parcours de la figure de l’auteur et l’évolution de la conception du texte dramatique dans l’histoire du théâtre, notre principal intérêt portera sur les différents aspects qui composent aujourd’hui l’identité de l’auteur, qui définissent son profil socioculturel et qui déterminent sa place dans le théâtre. Nous nous pencherons tout d’abord sur l’image actuelle de l’auteur qui se présente comme un artiste combatif et comme un médiateur averti proche du public avant d’aborder la question de son statut professionnel. Nous nous focaliserons par la suite sur le phénomène récent du regroupement des auteurs dramatiques en collectif. L’étude de la place concrète et physique qu’occupe aujourd’hui l’auteur dans l’entreprise théâtrale, et surtout l’analyse des principaux modes de son intégration (direction-association) et des rapports qu’il entretient avec les autres partenaires de la création (metteur en scène, acteur, public) nous permettront de mesurer les avantages et les limites de sa présence au sein du théâtre. De même, la représentation de ses oeuvres dans le système théâtral subventionné, dans le théâtre privé et les compagnies amateurs, l’observation des structures, associations, festivals et manifestations divers qui mettent l’auteur de théâtre au centre de leur projet et enfin l’étude des différents moyens de diffusion et de valorisation (commandes, résidences, ateliers, comités de lecture) des écritures théâtrales contemporaines complèteront cette recherche. Dans un souci de dépasser le seul cadre théâtral, nous aborderons également la place qu’occupe actuellement l’auteur de théâtre dans l’espace médiatique, éditorial et scolaire. Enfin, l’exploration du geste d’écriture et l’analyse du processus de création des auteurs dramatiques, suivies par un aperçu des principales tendances esthétiques et formelles qui caractérisent les écritures contemporaines, offriront un nouveau regard sur la façon dont les auteurs conçoivent leur art et sur les moyens qu’ils déploient pour contribuer au renouvellement de l’écriture dramatique. / If the theatre is a place where a language in which the poet naturally belongs is created, we cannot avoid noting that the dramatist of the 2000's, paradoxically, is finding it hard to locate his place in the theatre and in the society of his time. Faced with institutional lukewarm support, with a distrusting public and a general lack of understanding of their role, the dramatists of today are trying to make their voices heard, and do not hesitate to demand that public bodies support their rights. This work proposes to concentrate on a cross-disciplinary examination of the place and function of the dramatist. It will do this by positing that he is a human entity that is evolving within a concrete artistic and social milieu. After tracing the trajectory of the authorial figure and the evolution of the concept of the dramatist in the history of the theatre, we will concentrate on the various aspects that today make up the identity of the author, that define his sociocultural profile, and that determine his place within the theatre. We will initially focus on the current image of the author seen as a combative artist and as an enlightened mediating figure who is close to his public. Then we will take on the question of the author's professional status. We will then concentrate on the recent phenomenon which presents dramatists as a collective group. The study of the concrete and physical place occupied today by authors in the theatre, and above all the analysis of the principal modes by which the author is integrated (directing-associating) and of the relationships he has with his partners in theatrical creativity (director, actor, public), these will allow us to measure the advantages and limits of his presence within the theatre. Likewise, the representation of his works in the context of subsidized theatre, in the context of private theatre and of amateur companies, the observance of the structures, associations, festivals and other demonstrations that put the dramatist at the centre of their projects, and finally the study of the different ways to propagate and valorize theatrical writing (command performances, resident artists, play reading committees, writing workshops), these will complete this research project. Given our determination to go beyond the world of theatre, we will also examine the current place occupied by the dramatist as a mediating, editorial and scholarly force. Finally, the study of the writing and the analysis of the creative processes of dramatists, followed by an overview of the esthetic and formal tendencies that characterize modern writing, will offer a new way of looking at the way in which authors view their art and will offer a new perspective on the ways in which they contribute to the renewal of dramatic writing.
