Book excerpt: During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, France became famous — notorious even — across Europe for its ambitious attempts to codify and theorise a system of universally valid dramatic 'rules'. So fundamental and formative was this 'classical' conception of drama that it still underpins our modern conception of theatre today. Yet rather than rehearsing familiar arguments about plays, Inventing the Spectator reads early modern France's dramatic theory against the grain, tracing instead the profile and characteristics of the spectator that these arguments imply: the living, breathing individual in whose mind, senses, and experience the theatre comes to life. In so doing, Joseph Harris raises numerous questions — of imagination and illusion, reason and emotion, vision and aurality, to name but a few — that strike at the very heart of human psychology, cognition, and experience. Bridging the gap between literary and theatre studies, history of psychology, and intellectual history, Inventing the Spectator thus reconstructs the theatre spectator's experience as it was understood and theorised within French dramatic theory between the Renaissance and the Revolution. It explores early modern spectatorship through three main themes (illusion and the senses; pleasure and narrative; interest and identification) and five key dramatic theoreticians (d'Aubignac, Corneille, Dubos, Rousseau, and Diderot). As it demonstrates, the period's dramatic rules are at heart rules of psychology, cognition, and affect that emerged out of a complex dialogue with human subjectivity in all its richness.

Download or read book La critique litt raire written by Roger Fayolle and published by Paris, A. Colin [1964]. This book was released on 1964 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consacrée à l'étude des genres littéraires et brillamment inaugurée en 1962 par le Drame de Michel Lioure, la collection « U » s'enrichit d'un 5e volume, la Critique, par R. Fayolle. Les deux chapitres de la 1TM partie — « l'Age classique », « l'Age moderne » — constituent, selon l'auteur, plus une chronique qu'une histoire de la critique en France. La matière à embrasser était si vaste en effet que la clarté et la densité du tableau n'en sont que plus manifestes. Même si le paragraphe consacré à Montaigne peut paraître un peu bref, même si les références des textes cités n'ont pas ça et là toute la précision nécessaire pour qui voudrait poursuivre l'enquête !, ce sont de minces réserves en regard des mérites de l'ensemble. Le respect scrupuleux de la chronologie ne nuit pas à une structure logique qui met en évidence l'évolution du genre, son accession progressive à l'autonomie, et évite au lecteur, malgré le foisonnement des formes critiques à l'époque moderne, l'aridité d'un catalogue.

This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, 8 lively, original essays by eminent scholars trace the kaleidoscopically shifting dramatic forms, performance contexts, and social implications of tragedy throughout the period and across geographic, political, and social references. They attend not only to the familiar cultural lenses of English and mainstream Continental dramas but also to less familiar European exempla from Croatia and Hungary. Each chapter takes a different theme as its focus: forms and media; sites of performance and circulation; communities of production and consumption; philosophy and social theory; religion, ritual and myth; politics of city and nation; society and family, and gender and sexuality.
