Le personnage surnaturel dans le théâtre irlandais du XXe siècle / The supernatural character in 20th century irish theatre

Murphy, Alan 21 October 2011 (has links)
Les êtres surnaturels ont toujours eu une place prépondérante dans le folklore irlandais. En effet, les mythes et légendes irlandais font référence à la banshee, au pooka, aux fantômes, sans parler de l’ubiquiteux leprechaun, par exemple. Dès sa fondation à la fin du XIXème siècle le Théâtre National Irlandais s’appuyait sur ce folklore et s’en inspirait, à l’instar de W.B. Yeats et de Lady Gregory. Cependant, depuis l’indépendance en 1922 ces références se font plus rares. Est-ce une évolution naturelle liée à l’essor du modernisme et du post-modernisme dans le monde ou y-t-il des raisons plus spécifiques, plus irlandaises ? / Supernatural beings have always played an important role in Irish folklore. Indeed, many myths and legends are peopled with ghosts and creatures such as the banshee, the pooka, and the ubiquitous leprechaun. This folklore proved to be a solid foundation for the Irish National Theatre from its very inception at the close of the nineteenth century, and an inspiration to several of its founding members, including W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory. However, since independence in 1922, references to Irish folkore have become less and less common. Is this just a natural phenomenon due to the rise of modernism and post modernism? Or are there more specific, more Irish reasons for this evolution ?
