Download or read book Japanese and Western Literature written by Armando Martins Janeira and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese and Western Literature delves deeply into Japanese culture to discover the concepts that similarize and differentiate Japanese and Western literary creations. Paralleling Japanese literary creations and fundamental thought with those of the West, the author draws many illuminating comparisons: for example, between the novels of Murasaki Shikibu and Marcel Proust, between the Portuguese poet Torga and the haiku master Issa, and between the picaresque novel in Japan and in the West. Contrastive studies are also made into such concepts as time, nature, love, and tragedy. This broad yet incisive survey of Japanese literarily genres and themes is more than a comparative study of literature, however; it is an attempt to grasp the core of Japanese culture by setting it against world culture. From this born a complex of new ideas and problems, and author is able to probe the extent of Western influence on Japanese fiction, poetry, and essays in the past hundred years.

Download or read book Il Teatro di Eduardo de Filippo written by Donatella Fischer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eduardo De Filippo (1900-1984) e uno dei maggiori drammaturghi del novecento. Nel suo teatro, la famiglia rappresenta il punto nevralgico della societa. Attraverso quest'unita archetipica, le opere qui considerate si propongono come un lungo esame dei rapporti familiari e sono, al contempo, il barometro dei mutamenti sociali e culturali delle diverse epoche in cui si svolge l'azione. In questo nuovo lavoro, Donatella Fischer analizza ogni commedia come un ulteriore passo verso l'inarrestabile frantumazione dell'universo familiare e, soprattutto, della famiglia patriarcale i cui precetti si rivelano sempre piu anacronistici. Eduardo De Filippo ritrae famiglie divise dal conflitto fra illusione e realta (Natale in casa Cupiello), aggrappate alla speranza (Napoli Milionaria! e Questi fantasmi!), sovversive dietro la cornice borghese (Filumena Marturano), in balia del proprio tempo (Mia famiglia) e ridotte infine all'involucro di se stesse nell'ultima opera dell'autoreGli esami non finiscono mai."

Download or read book The Japanese Theatre written by Ortolani and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-07-04 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An up-to-date cultural history of the Japanese theatre in all its forms including primitive rituals, court and popular dance-drama, puppet shows and westernized plays, is narrated here for the first time in English by a western authority in the field. The book underlines Zeami and Zenchiku's secret tradition of the nō, explaining Zen-inspired spiritual teachings for the actor's training on the way to enlightened performance. It also gives relevance to the transformation of an anti-establishment entertainment by prostitutes into spectacular kabuki stagecraft, and to the modernization process which created shingeki modern drama, and moved it into the context of world theatre. The final chapter summarizes the history of western discovery of the Japanese stage. The illustrations, the indexes, the glossary and the extensive bibliography — including all major literature in western languages until 1989 — also contribute to make this volume a must for all students of the Japanese theatre, and for anyone interested in a better understanding of Japanese culture as mirrored in its theatrical component.
Download or read book Marcel Marceau poetics of gesture written by Patrizia Iovine and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of theatre date back to 500 b. C. with religious rituals of ancient Greece. Mime drama dates back to Theocritus, to performances of folk life, to gatherings in honour of the God Dionysus, during which the use of a mask was introduced. The Romans used to mime political situations inventing satirical pantomimes. A silent genre developed in the town of Atella, the Atellan Farce, with fixed characters, ancestors of the stereotypes of the Commedia dell’Arte or theatre of the Zanni. The father of the family of the Zanni was the servant Arlequin. In the Commedia dell’Arte of the Sixteenth Century, the face was covered by a mask that would define the nature of the character. Created by Deburau in 1665, the melancholic Pierrot will step on stage and as his ancestors, he will be forever in love and rejected. With Molière, the use of the mask will start to change until it will disappear leaving space to the expressiveness of the face and nature of the character. With Carlo Goldoni the “Commedia di carattere” will flourish. In the Twentieth Century it’s Charlie Chaplin’s turn to write an important chapter of the art of mime with the romantic hero Charlot who wanders up and down the streets in the city of London in the Twenties, desperate and alone. In his gestural grammar, Etienne Decroux covers the face of the actors with a veil to leave only the body mass to speak. On the contrary, according to his pupil, Marcel Marceau, the face and the hands represent the backbone to gestural eloquence as in Oriental techniques with the aristocratic Noh and the commoner Kabuki. Starting from Graeco-Roman Statuary, retracing the phases of gestural art, remembering the myths of gesture and, working side by side with Decroux, Marceau will decide to generate the last heir of this imaginary dynasty, the merchant of illusions, Bip, leaving him free to live and dream in the temporal space of a performance. Transforming the invisible into visible, bringing into the theatres all around the world his pantomimes, the French Master has made palpable the art of emotions.
