Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primarily meant to host studies about the drama of the English - and European - Renaissance, as well as the culture in which it is rooted, the THETA series aims to be a forum of exchange and debate. As in the previous issues the topic of the present volume, which derives from the Eighth Round Table on Tudor Drama held at Tours in June 2000, the problematics of puzzling laughter, is addressed in various dramatic works of the Tudor period. Explicit or merely assumed, such occurrences of an intrinsically diverse and ambivalent phenomenon are hardly amenable to the stereotypes of comedy. In their different ways the nineteen essays in the volume focus on interpretations which relate laughter to the dramatic and aesthetic economy of the works considered, probe its links with medical theory, with genre or intellectual views influential at the time or again, beyond the pregnancy of zeitgeist and functional uses, suggest the relevance of recent assumptions by cognitive science. Consacrée à la publication d'études sur le théâtre de la renaissance européenne - et d'abord anglaise - ainsi que sur la culture qui le nourrit, la collection THETA se veut lieu de rencontre et de débat, accueillant sans exclusive toutes les approches. Ce sixième recueil issu de la 8e Table Ronde du Théâtre Tudor tenue à Tours en juin 2000, est consacré aux formes énigmatiques du rire dans diverses pièces de théâtre empruntées, comme pour les précédents volumes, à l'ensemble de la période Tudor. Manifestes ou présumées mais irréductibles aux stéréotypes du comique, ces occurrences d'un phénomène intrinsèquement lourd de sens multiples bénéficient dans les dix-neuf essais d'explications croisées. Celles-ci tentent d'évaluer les liens fonctionnels avec l'économie de l'oeuvre, de sonder la relation aux théories médicales ou intellectuelles du temps, ou à telle autre circonstance culturelle, et encore recourent, par delà les prégnances du zeitgeist et du fonctionnalisme, aux récentes hypothèses des sciences de la cognition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Le colloque international 2000 ans de Rire. Permanence et modernité qui s'est tenu en juin juillet 2000 à l'initiative commune de Corhum et du Grelis-Laseldi et qui a réuni à l'Université de Franche-Comté à Besançon une cinquantaine de chercheurs de différentes nationalités, relève le défi d'un bilan en "humorologie". Visant à "dresser un état des recherches en fin de millénaire" il ne réalise évidemment pas un parcours exhaustif, mais propose des repères sur le mode de la rétrospective, de la prospective, du défilement panoramique ou de l'" arrêt sur image". Dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, le champ des lettres reçoit souvent l'éclairage des sciences du langage et des sciences sociales. Les trente-neuf contributions réunies dans ce volume d'actes abordent les phénomènes du rire, du comique, de l'humour à partir de corpus très variés (traditions populaires, dessins, histoires drôles, théâtre, nouvelles, romans, cinéma, chansons, sketches...). Elles sont regroupées en quatre sous-ensembles (Culture et société/Littérature/Langue et discours/Actualités du rire) correspondant à des dominantes disciplinaires et/ou à des objets de recherche. Le volume s'attache à la fois à la singularité du rire selon les communautés, les époques, les genres, et à ce qui fonde l'universalité de ce phénomène complexe à la charnière du naturel et du culturel. Il convie à une réflexion de portée sémiotique sur les processus de compréhension et d'interprétation, en privilégiant les données culturelles et les rapports sociaux observés à travers la médiation des formes et des interactions."

Download or read book The Satiric Decade written by Amy Wiese Forbes and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Where do democratic political practices originate? This issue has long concerned republics, but few historians have studied the process by which people learn the skills of rights-based government. In this illuminating history, Amy Wiese Forbes addresses these origins by analyzing how republicanism took shape through the political satire that flooded French newspapers, theaters, courtrooms, and even academic life in 1830. Forbes shows that satire was the chief source of the critical spirit of republicanism that erupted in the 1840s and sustained the Republic in the 1870s and argues against the notion that satire had no lasting political impact. This book will speak to historians of French politics, republicanism, popular culture, the July Monarchy, satire and political humor, class and gender formation, and legal history." --Book Jacket.
