Dans un théâtre subventionné en crise, l’acteur français se pense aujourd’hui comme un hyper-citoyen, lui qui fut si longtemps privé de citoyenneté. Tout l’enjeu contemporain de la parole de l’acteur s’incarne dans la quête, nostalgique et militante à la fois, de l’éthos et de la transcendance perdus dans le statut d’infâme. En rejaillissant sur l’existence de l’acteur, l’infamie a cristallisé des affects tenaces, passés dans l’inconscient collectif, modelant l’hexis des comédiens, influençant les pratiques scéniques. Elle a contribué à consolider certaines particularités françaises en matière de pédagogie du jeu, comme la défiance vis-à-vis de la méthode stanislavskienne et du monologue. A cet égard, la comparaison avec l’école de jeu anglaise est instructive. C’est au moment de la laïcisation de l’État, il y a cent ans, qu’un nouveau théâtre fait des choix éthiques et esthétiques encore largement opératoires aujourd’hui, et achève la conversion de l’acteur : d’ancien damné, il deviendra sauveur, missionné par l’État auprès d’une nation-public. Contrairement aux apparences, la mise en infamie de l’acteur a toujours cours. Avec la sécularisation de la société française, elle a quitté le champ métaphysique, pour investir le champ méta-économique. Elle prend sa source dans le rapport statutaire de l’acteur à l’État et impose son coût historique. Un véritable "Complexe d’infamie" de l’acteur est en effet à l’œuvre sur les scènes françaises, assorti d’un tabou de l’intériorité et d’un interdit d’adresse directe au public, agissant comme un grand Sur-moi actoral. Infâme parmi les infâmes, l’acteur alter-ethnique est un cas redoublé du "Complexe d’infamie". L’acteur français noir, en particulier, est un révélateur des contradictions affectant "visiblement" la condition esthétique du comédien et la citoyenneté républicaine. Dans le contexte du quadruplement du nombre des acteurs en France depuis 1980, ce "Complexe d’infamie" éclaire la nature de l’indécision de la pédagogie dramatique. Il gagnerait à être sublimé ou subverti avant toute tentative de refondation pédagogique. / At a time when subsidised theater is in crisis, the French actor, after being considered a second-rate citizen for such a long time, thinks of himself today as a super-citizen. The contemporary challenge of speech ("parole") of the actor is embodied in the quest, both nostalgic and militant, for ethos and transcendence, lost in the state of infamy. Rebounding on the existence of the actor, infamy has crystallised stubborn affects, slipped into the collective unconsciousness, shaping the hexis of actors and influencing stage practices. It has helped to consolidate French peculiarities in acting pedagogy, such as mistrust of the Stanislavski method and the monologue. In this respect, comparison with the English school of acting is informative. A hundred years ago, at the time of the secularisation of the State, a new theater made ethical and aesthetic choices, which are still largely operative today, and completed the conversion of the actor: formerly a damned soul, he has become a savior, sent by the State before a national audience. Contrary to appearances, the situation of infamy still exists. It is just that, with the secularisation of French society, the meta-economic field replaced the metaphysical one. Its roots can be found in the statutory relationship between the actor and the State and imposes its historical cost. A "Complex of infamy" for the actor is indeed present on the French stage, together with a taboo on interiority and a prohibition against directly addressing the public, representing a big actorly Super-ego. Infamous among the infamous, the alter-ethnic actor suffers from a doubled "Complex of infamy". The black French actor, in particular, is a mirror of the contradictions "visibly" affecting the aesthetic condition of the actor and republican citizenship. Given the context where the number of actors in France has quadrupled since 1980, this "Complex of infamy" points out the indecisive nature of teaching drama. It needs to be sublimated or subverted before ever attempting any educational reform.

My honors senior thesis, a creative project entitled Anything Else, is a collection of fourteen poems that reflects on trauma, loss, interpersonal relationships, and nature. Many of the poems are dramatic monologues, allowing me to portray a range of extreme voices, including a survivor of the bombing of Hiroshima, a U.S. veteran of the Iraq War, and murderer Perry Smith. Although I consider myself a free verse writer, preferring to work without regular meter or rhyme, one of the poems is written in iambic pentameter. In addition, I took material from the Yahoo! Answers website and composed it as a found poem, adding to the diversity of the manuscript. A number of questions are explored across the variety of speakers, themes, and forms of poems included here, often coming back to the question of whether or not there is anything else.

A poetry thesis exploring issues of loss, death, creation, imagination, family, interpersonal relationships, nature, sexuality, and writing. The manuscript includes a preface that discusses literary influences such as Ai, H.D., and Sharon Olds, as well as writing in forms such as the dramatic monologue, imagistic poem, and confessional poem. Three main sections organize the manuscript's poems.

Thesis advisor: Caroline Bicks / In the last ten years, Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues has morphed from a successful off-Broadway production into an activist movement that fosters fundraising productions of the play by community and campus groups in almost every country. In this thesis, I examine how the ‘body stories’ told by actual women made it to community stages all over the world through a series of translations: first, how Ensler poetically/theatrically interprets their stories; second, how the monologic form (and the current multiple-actor form) of the play affects the meaning of those stories; third, projecting how the audience reacts to those stories; and last, suggesting possibilities for broadening the audience’s experience into community discussion and social change. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2010. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Magistro darbo tikslas – aptarti monologą XIX a. pab. – XXI a. pr. lietuvių dramaturgijoje. Monologų sklaida išryškina skirtingų lietuvių dramaturgijos laikotarpių bendrąsias tendencijas: vyraujančių charakterių pobūdį, prasmines slinktis, žanrines, stilistines ypatybes, specifinį estetinį psichologinį poveikį, ryšį su adresatu. Vaižgantas, Keturakis, Žemaitė įtvirtino realistinį tikrovės vaizdavimo būdą. Romantinėse pjesėse formuojamas „aukštasis“, poetinis dramos stilius. Realistiniams kūriniams būdingas šnekamosios kalbos imitavimas. Monologams būdinga funkcija – atpasakoti pasibaigusius įvykius ir buvusius išgyvenimus. Dramaturgai neoromantikai siekė dramaturgiją pakreipti romantinio atsinaujinimo linkme. Pasak J. Lankučio, pradėta tolti nuo įprastinio patriotinių jausmų deklaravimo, istorinės, socialinės iliustracijos. Skirtingai nei mėgėjiškosios dramaturgijos laikotarpiui, neoromantizmo dramaturgijai būdingas žanrinis sinkretizmas. Apie žanrinių ribų maišymąsi byloja paantraštės (pavyzdžiui, V. Krėvės „Šarūnas“ – „Senųjų dienų gyvenimo pasaka“). Monologų analizė išryškina V. Krėvės, V. Mykolai�����io-Putino dramų orientaciją į poezijos žanrą, į jos stilistiką. Neoromantinių kūrinių monologe ryškus lyrinis pradas: personažai pasakoja apie šios akimirkos būsenas ar įvykius. Atsiranda poetiškumas, lyrinis subtilumas, vaizduojami ryškūs, individualizuoti charakteriai. Išskiriamas savitas kalbėjimo būdas: stilizuojama lietuvių liaudies daina. „XX a. 3 – 4 dešimtmečių...

At the beginning of the work, conception of the monologue is given. In it different attitudes of dramatists to monologue is emphasized. Some dramatists think, that certain elements of monologue forms are negatyve, not acceptable (statics of thoughts and thinking, outburst of emotions) and the monologues in their dramas are not used often. The others think, that monologues have merit and use them in drama. A. Samulionis, P. Pavi give the classification of the monologues, though it is not detailed. In monologues problematics, themes of “Amateurish dramaturgy“ the realistic reality representing way (the dramas of Žemaitė, Keturakis, Vaižgantas) and romantic-patriotic (A. Fromas-Gužutis) are often used. The main functions of the monologue: informational, dinamical, pushing the act of the drama further, characterising the personage who is taking, structural-compositional. The orientation to poetry stilistics and genre of V.Krėvė, V. Mykolaitis-Putinas reveals in neoromantical drama: mithology, lyrism. In monologues distinct individualised characters are pictured in the historical dramaturgy. Of the middle of the XX century (J. Grušas, J. Marcinkevičius) the monologues show universal, crossing the concrete historical times problematics. The language is characterised with didactical tones, passionativenes. K. Saja... [to full text]

This study seeks to redress the continued exclusion of women poets from the theorization of the dramatic monologue. I argue that an unacknowledged consensus on the definition of the dramatic monologue exists, in spite of the oft-proclaimed absence of one, and that it is the failure to recognize this consensus which has in part debarred women poets from the theorization of the form. In particular, the failure to acknowledge this consensus has led recent feminist critics attempting to “rethink” the dramatic monologue, such as Cynthia Scheinberg and Glennis Byron, to reinscribe the very model they are attempting to rewrite by admitting into their analysis only those poems which already conform to the existing model. In consequence, these critics inadvertently repeat the exclusion they are attempting to redress by reinscribing a model which is predicated—as both Scheinberg and Byron acknowledge—on the exclusion of women poets. In order to end this cycle of exclusion, my project begins from a different beginning, with Hemans instead of Browning, and traces her innovations and influence across the dramatic monologues of two key dramatic monologists of the 19th-century, Augusta Webster and Amy Levy. In the hands of all three women poets, the dramatic monologue develops into a form which calls into question not only the nature of the self, as is characteristic of Browning’s model, but more crucially, the possibility of the subject. Their poems persistently dramatize what Judith Butler calls “impossible speech”—speech that is not recognized as the speech of a subject—and thereby challenges the model of authoritative speaking which underpins both men’s dramatic monologues and the prevailing theory of women’s as a clutch for linguistic freedom, power and authority. This project therefore has dual aims: to complicate our current conception of the dramatic monologue by placing the women’s dramatic monologues in conversation with the larger tradition of the form; and to complicate our understanding of 19th-century women poets’ conception and constructions of female subjectivity by re-theorizing their poetic strategies in the development of the dramatic monologue. / Thesis (Ph.D, English) -- Queen's University, 2008-06-26 14:13:29.982
