This study is inspired by social discourse theory and sociocriticism of literature. it aims to describe an organizational system that informs theatre practice in Quebec and to go beyond aesthetic form, critical interpretation and institutional structure to reveal Quebecois theatre in its most synthesized form. / To comprehend the model's overall operation, three broad sectors of the theatre's sphere of activity were explored and juxtaposed: institution, reception and creation. For this purpose, a preliminary set of quantitative and discursive data was assembled from a study of the network of professional schools, associations, and festivals in the theatrical milieu. Following this, examination of a number of scholarly texts made it possible to observe the way in which these elements are linked together into a more comprehensive ideological structure, while analysis of a representative body of contemporary (1945--1990) Quebecois plays served to consolidate and refine these observations. / The central thesis of this work is that, at the level of the representation of the "world", there are a series of characteristics that may be thought of as the distinctive elements of Quebecois drama. In general, Quebecois theatre feeds off the denial of the theatrical in order to present itself to the spectator as a site of an impossible theatricality. This dynamic inscribes itself in sociocultural representation in general, and is perceived both in the spatio-temporal dimension of the play, and in the structure of dramatic character and dramatic conflict.

Intelectual ligado à terceira fase do movimento modernista, que alguns autores designam como a "Geração de 1945", seu pensamento estético e historiográfico possui laços estreitos com uma certa concepção de mundo moderna, donde se explica o título conferido ao trabalho. A tese defendida objetiva demonstrar os diferentes imbricamentos existentes entre os ensaios de Prado sobre o passado cênico nacional e semelhante cosmovisão, procurando deslindá-los à luz de certos parâmetros como, por exemplo, a filosofia da história e algumas noções estético-teatrais que conformariam essa vertente de sua obra. Em que pese, contudo, o foco mais concentrado nos ensaios historiográficos, informe-se que suas críticas de espetáculos, produzidas ao longo de anos, não foram ignoradas, na medida em que fazem parte do escopo deste estudo, cujo projeto, dentro de suas possibilidades, é analisar o pensamento de Prado como um todo. Tendo isso em vista, para uma melhor compreensão do assunto, empreendeu-se uma comparação, que atravessa a pesquisa do início ao fim, entre o ensaísmo teatral de Prado e o ensaísmo literário de Antonio Candido, lembrando que ambos começaram suas carreiras juntos ao fundarem, em parceria com outros nomes, como Paulo Emílio Salles Gomes e Ruy Coelho, a revista Clima (1941-1944). Pelo fato de suas respectivas historiografias apresentarem...

As an intellectual associated with the third phase of the modernist movement, which some authors call the "Generation of 1945", his aesthetic and historiographical thinking has close ties with a certain conception of the modern world, which explains the title given to this paper. The thesis defended here aims to demonstrate the different overlaps existing between Prado's essays on the country's theatrical past and similar worldviews, aiming to address them in the light of certain parameters, such as the philosophy of history and some aesthetic and theatrical notions that shape this aspect of his writings. However, despite the more concentrated focus on his historiographical essays, the reviews of performances he penned over the years have not been ignored, to the extent that they are included within the scope of this paper, which is intended, as far as this is possible, to analyze Prado's overall thinking. That said, in order to provide a better understanding of the topic, a comparison has been made, throughout the research from start to finish, between Prado's theatrical essays and the literary essays of Antonio Candido, recalling that they both started their careers together when they founded, in partnership with other names such as Paulo Emílio Salles Gomes and Ruy Coelho, the magazine Clima (1941-1944). Given that their respective... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor
