This thesis explores the symmetry between theatres and museums, and investigates how a museum experience is similar to a theatrical event. Particularly, this project examines how the Canadian War Museum performs historical narrative through its use of three performative elements of a theatre production: space, objects and actor’s body. Firstly, this thesis analyses how creating a historical narrative is similar to fiction writing and play writing. It follows the argument of Hayden White and Michel de Certeau who recognize a historical narrative as a performative act. Accordingly, this thesis examines the First World War exhibit at the Canadian War Museum as a space of performance. I apply Lubomír Doležel’s literary theory on possible worlds, illustrating how a museum space can create unique characteristics of a possible world of fiction and of history. Secondly, this thesis employs Marie-Laure Ryan’s theory of narrativity to discuss how museum objects construct and perform their stories. I argue that the objects in museums are presented to the public in a state of museality similar to the condition of theatricality in a theatre performance. Lastly, this thesis investigates the performance of people by applying various theories of performance, such as Michael Kirby’s non-acting/acting continuum, Jiří Veltruský’s concept of the stage figure, and Freddie Rokem’s theories of actors as “hyper-historians.” In this way, this thesis explores concrete case studies of employee/visitor interactions and expands on how these communications transform the people within the walls of the museum into performers of historical narrative. Moreover, according to Antoine Prost, the museum as an institution is an educational and cultural authority. As a result, in all of these performative situations, the Canadian War Museum presents a historical narrative to its visitors with which it can help shape a sense of national identity, the events Canadians choose to commemorate and their personal and/or collective memories. In its interdisciplinary scope, this thesis calls upon theories from a variety of academic fields, such as performance studies, history and cultural studies, museology, and literary studies. Most importantly, however, this project offers a new perspective on the performative potentials of a national history museum.

Until recent years, the historical moment of Charles II's return to England was universally accepted as a clear marker of the end of "the Cavalier winter," a welcome victory over theater-hating Puritans. To verify this historical view, literary historians have often glorified the role of King Charles II in the history of the "revival" of drama during the Restoration, whereas they tend to consider the Long Parliament's 1642 closing of the theaters as a decisive manifestation of Puritans' antitheatricalism. This historical perspective based upon what is often known as "the rupture model" has obscured the vibrant development of dramatic forms during the English civil wars and the ways in which the revolutionary energy exploded during this period continued to influence in the Restoration the deployment of dramatic forms and imagination across various social groups. By focusing on the generic development of drama and theatricality during the English civil wars, my dissertation challenges the conventional historiography of the English civil war literature, which has been overemphasizing the discontinuity between the English civil war and the periods before and after it. The first chapter shows how the theatrical energy displaced from traditional cultural domains energized an emerging cheap print market and contributed to the invention of new dramatic forms such as playlets and newsbooks. The second chapter questions the conventional association of Puritanism and antitheatricalism by rehistoricizing antitheatrical writers and their pamphlets and by highlighting the dramatic impulses at work in Puritan iconoclasm during the English civil wars. The final chapter offers the Restoration Milton as a case study to illustrate how the proposed historical perspective replacing "the rupture model" better explains not only the politics of Milton's Paradise Lost but also of Restoration drama.

Qu’advient-il lorsqu’un dramaturge à succès se glisse dans la peau d’un chroniqueur? Comment se manifeste alors l’influence du modèle théâtral sur sa prose narrative? À une époque où la question des genres canoniques semble dépassée et où les notions d’intergénéricité et d’hybridation paraissent plus aptes à expliquer les pratiques esthétiques contemporaines, nous avons choisi de nous intéresser aux différentes modalités d’inscription de la théâtralité dans les « Chroniques du Plateau Mont-Royal » de Michel Tremblay. Notre premier chapitre se penche sur les manifestations ostensives de la théâtralité dans les six récits. Grâce au recours à des figures comme l’hypotypose et à certains procédés de distanciation comme la mise en abyme, l’adresse au lecteur et l’aparté, le lecteur assiste à une mise en œuvre récurrente du dispositif spectaculaire. Notre deuxième chapitre porte sur les procédés de dramatisation du romanesque. À travers un mouvement impétueux qui fait alterner et même cohabiter le comique et le tragique, le réel et le fantastique, le sublime et le grotesque, l’excès et le manque, l’auteur pratique non seulement le mélange des genres et des tonalités au sein de son œuvre, mais fait appel à divers procédés qui visent à produire la catharsis chez le lecteur. Notre troisième chapitre dégage les modalités de théâtralisation de la parole romanesque. Par la mise en place d’un double régime discursif, qui oscille entre l’effacement de l’énonciation auctoriale et la pulsion rhapsodique, l’auteur donne à voir une parole romanesque qui reflète les grands enjeux de l’écriture dramatique contemporaine. / What happens when a successful playwright attempts to play the part of a chronicler? How does the influence of the theatre manifest itself in his narrative prose? At a time when the question of the canonic genres seems to have become obsolete and where the notions of intergenericity and hybridism seem more apt at explaining modern esthetical practices, we chose to target the various ways in which theatricality inscribes itself in Michel Tremblay’s Chroniques du Plateau Mont-Royal. Our first chapter looks at the ostensive manifestations of theatricality in the six stories. Through recourse to figures such as hypotyposis and other distancing processe, like mise en abyme, the address to the reader and the aside, the reader witnesses a recurrent manifestation of the spectacular device. Our second chapter targets the dramatization process of the novelistic. Through an impetuous movement that makes comic and tragic, reality and fantasy, sublime and grotesque, excess and lack alternate and even cohabit, the author claims not only a mix of genres and tonality within his works but he also provokes an outbidding of processes which aim at triggering a catharsis within the reader. Our third chapter outlines the theatricality modes of the novelistic voice. Through the implementation of a double discursive regime which oscillates between the author’s self-effacement and enunciation and rhapsodisation, the writer’s novelistic word reflects the great stakes of contemporary playwriting.

La passion est un élément central dans les œuvres d’Anne Hébert. Chez les personnages hébertiens, la passion se traduit par une rhétorique distinctive: la rhétorique du pâtir. L’Île de la Demoiselle, pièce de théâtre radiophonique diffusée en 1974, ainsi que Kamouraska, roman publié en 1970, sont des exemples de la construction textuelle du pâtir. Cette forme de souffrance est particulière dans le cas des deux œuvres, car elle semble à la fois subie et voulue par les protagonistes. Notre mémoire porte sur un outil de théâtralisation spécifique, la parole dans le texte, et ce, principalement celle des héroïnes Marguerite de Notron et Elisabeth d’Aulnières. Nous étudions comment le discours construit un pâtir en partie subi, mais aussi maîtrisé et voulu par les protagonistes par le biais de la théâtralisation de la parole. À l’image du théoricien Jean-Pierre Richard, nous effectuons pour chacune des œuvres des microlectures d’extraits, afin de montrer comment le pâtir se déploie dans la parole au fil des phrases. Ces microlectures servent de tremplin à une ouverture sur l’ensemble du texte. Nous appuyant sur la théorie du langage d’Austin, nous analysons le discours, afin de montrer comment il y a performativité de la parole chez les protagonistes, même si les personnages en proie à la passion semblent inactifs. Notre objectif est de montrer comment la mise en scène de la parole est la même dans les deux œuvres. / Passion is a vital element in Anne Hebert’s work. This passion results in a peculiar rhetoric for the characters: the rhetoric of suffering. L’Île de la Demoiselle, theater radio broadcast in 1974, and Kamouraska, novel published in 1970, are prime examples of the textual construction of suffering. In the case of those two works, this kind of suffering is distinctive because it seems to be altogether sustained and desired by the protagonists. This master thesis focuses on one specific tool of dramatization, speech, primarily by the main characters Marguerite de Notron and Elisabeth d’Aulnières. We study how the speech builds sustained, mastered and desired suffering of the main characters via dramatization. For each work, we make microlectures, like the theorician Jean-Pierre Richard did, to study how the suffering unfolds in the speech throughout the text. We use the theory of Austin on language to analyze with various textual themes how there is performativity of speech even if the main characters seem inactive. Our goal is to show how speech staging is the same in both works.

Ce mémoire explore la place de l’interartialité, des relations entre les arts, dans le cinéma de Peter Greenaway, et les fonctions qu’elle y remplit. À l’occasion de l’analyse de deux films qui centralisent la figure du peintre et la forme du contrat - The Draughtsman’s Contract et Nightwatching – et prenant comme point de départ théorique les travaux de Walter Moser, nous identifions et analysons quelques-unes des relations interartielles à l’oeuvre dans ces films, pour montrer que la mise en relation des arts de la peinture, du théâtre et du cinéma, dans leurs rapports biartials et pluriartials, constituent la trame fondamentale des films de Greenaway, dans une « interartialité non hiérarchique ». Nous concluons que le recours au dialogue interartiel permet au cinéaste d’esquisser, en filigrane, une posture critique sur l’art et l’artiste, une « théorie de l’art », par laquelle il exprime un point de vue sur le rôle et le statut de l’artiste au sein de la société. / Taking its theoretical starting point from the work of Walter Moser in interartiality, this thesis explores the place and function of interatiality (relationships between the arts) in the cinema of Peter Greenaway. The Draughtsman’s Contract and Nightwatching, two films that focus on the figure of the painter and the form of the contract, are examined for the purpose of identifying and analysing some of the interartial relationships at work in them and thereby demonstrating that the interconnecting of painting, theatre and cinema in bi- and pluri-artial relationships constitutes a basic framework of “non-hierarchical interartiality” in Greenaway’s films. The conclusion is reached that reliance on interart dialogue allows the filmmaker to assume an implicit critical stance in regard to art and the artist – a “theory of art” that expresses a point of view on the artist’s role and status in society.

Les années 1950 et 1960 apparaissent comme deux décennies d’intense effervescence dans le champ du cinéma thaï. L’adoption, à l’issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, du format 16mm par une nouvelle génération de cinéastes donna lieu à l’essor d’une production cinématographique très populaire dans le royaume. Alors que les comédies musicales réalisées par les fondateurs pionniers de la compagnie Phaphayon Siang Si Krung jusqu’en 1941 semblaient promettre la pérenne hégémonie d’un véritable « Hollywood du Siam », ces fictions joyeusement rhapsodiques, filmées avec des moyens de fortune et accompagnées en direct par la légendaire faconde de doubleurs professionnels, rencontrèrent un vaste public de Bangkok aux plus lointains villages de province, dans le cadre de projections en prolongement direct avec les spectacles mixtes d’antan. La disparition accidentelle, le 8 octobre 1970, de l’acteur Mit Chaibancha au cours du tournage d’Insi thong [« L’aigle d’or »] mit cependant un brusque terme à cette expérience, singulièrement tardive, de cinéma oral. La récente constitution d’un fonds d’archives à la Cinémathèque thaï a permis la mise à jour de riches vestiges de cette bien nommée « ère du 16mm ». Cette recherche se propose comme une première tentative historiographique pour exhumer ce patrimoine visuel, à la fois ancré dans la tradition dramatique siamoise et apparu dans le contexte d’une dictature militaire placée sous la complexe influence de son allié américain en ces années de Guerre Froide. / The 1950s and 1960s appear as two decades of intense effervescence in the field of Thai cinema. In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, the adoption of the 16mm format by a new generation of filmmakers gave rise to a very popular cinematic production in the kingdom. Whereas the musicals directed by the pioneer founders of the Phaphayon Siang Si Krung company until 1941 seemed to promise the perennial hegemony of a real ‘Hollywood of Siam’, these joyously rhapsodic fictions, filmed with makeshift means and accompanied live by the legendary loquaciousness of professional dubbers, encountered a broad public from Bangkok to the most remote provincial villages, within a screening framework stemming directly from earlier mixed shows. Nevertheless, the accidental disappearance of the actor Mit Chaibancha on the 8th of October 1970, during the shooting of Insi thong [« The golden eagle »], put an abrupt end to this singularly belated experience of oral cinema. The recent composition of an archival fund at the Thai Film Archive permitted the bringing to light of rich vestiges from this well-named ‘16mm era’. This research is a first historiographical attempt to exhume this visual patrimony, both embedded in the Siamese dramatic tradition and generated in the context of a military dictatorship that came under the complexe influence of its American ally during these Cold War years.

Dans « Crise de vers » (1897), Mallarmé déclare « la disparition élocutoire du poëte », formule qui inspire aux critiques littéraires du milieu du XXe siècle la revendication de « la mort de l’auteur ». Si le poète s’efforce de disparaître, comment peut-on considérer le je parlant et le centre de la subjectivité inscrite inévitablement dans le poème ? L’impersonnalité, perçue d’abord par Mallarmé au moment de sa crise spirituelle des années 1860, est-elle compatible avec ce je ineffaçable du poème ? À partir de ces questions, la présente thèse, composée de deux parties, se propose d’interroger sa poétique de l’impersonnalité. Le premier volet vise à tracer chronologiquement l’évolution de l’idée d’impersonnalité en s’appuyant sur le discours théorique du poète. Cette idée, qui se rattache au début à un état existentiel du sujet créateur, porte au fur et à mesure sur la technique artistique et l’effet produit de l’œuvre, au cours de ses critiques sur Manet (1874-1876), Wagner (1885) et le théâtre contemporain (1886-1887). En analysant les poèmes publiés entre 1876 et 1887, période marquée par ce développement, le second volet vise à éclairer le côté pratique de l’impersonnalité. Pour saisir le paradoxe apparent de l’exigence théorique et du je poétique, nous examinerons d’un point de vue énonciatif le poème qui se produit d’une énonciation du sujet parlant. Sur ce plan de l’acte de langage, la quête mallarméenne de l’impersonnalité, articulée à celle de la pureté de la poésie, parvient, malgré son discours à la première personne, à la construction dans et par le poème d’un espace-temps fictif et théâtral qui nous apparaît à chaque lecture. / In “Crise de vers” (1897), Mallarmé declared “la disparition élocutoire du poëte”, which inspired the concept of “the death of the author” among the literary critics in the middle of 20th century. If the poet attempts to disappear, how then do we think of the speaking I and the subjectivity that is inevitably built into the poem? Is the impersonality, which Mallarmé perceived first during his spiritual crisis in the 1860s, compatible with this indelible I ? Based on these questions, the present thesis, composed of two parts, aims to investigate Mallarmé’s poetic of impersonality. The first part aims to draw chronologically on the evolution of his idea of impersonality, relying on his theoretical discourse. Relating to the beginning of an existential state of the creator, this idea applies gradually to the artistic technic and to the effects produced by works of art, through Mallarmé’s criticisms of Manet (1874-1876), Wagner (1885), and the contemporary theatre (1886-1887). Analyzing the poems published between 1876 and 1887, the period characterized by the development of the idea, the second part aims to clarify the practical side of the impersonality. For understanding the apparent paradox of the theoretical claim of the impersonality with the poetic I, we examine the poem produced from the enunciation of the speaking subject from a viewpoint of enunciation. In these pragmatic terms, Mallarmé’s search associated with that for poetic purity, has taken, despite his poetic discourse in the first person, the form of a poem of a fictional and theatrical space-time that becomes apparent to us on every reading.
