Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest BDMP volume discusses Samuel Beckett's late prose text 'Company/Compagnie'. 'Company' was first composed in English between the years 1977 and 1979, with Beckett breaking a 20-year-long pattern of composing primarily in French to craft this meticulously structured 59-paragraph masterpiece of his late prose. Its French companion, 'Compagnie', was translated in only two weeks, in August 1979, yet the French came into print in early 1980, some months before the English 'original'. Both texts emerged during a period of intense theatre work for Beckett, and the composition of 'Company' in particular appeared to offer Beckett a degree of respite from his theatre commitments,with the text at times appearing to take on the role of a companion, not unlike the relationship between the hearer and voice depicted therein. 'Company' sees Beckett adopt and abide by a rigorous predetermined plan laid out across four schemata, a plan that encompassed the entire text on a paragraph-by-paragraph level. This distinguishes it from Beckett's approach towards the composition of texts such as 'Molloy' or 'Malone meurt'. The genetic critical analysis of the manuscripts of 'Company/Compagnie' takes this schema-dependent compositional method as its core focus. It forwards a new hypothesis regarding the genetic map of both works, and considers the relationship between this uniquely entwined 'original' and 'translation'. 00.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Beckett?s short play Play / Comédie and his only film Film were written around the same time (1962-1963). They both have self-referential titles that invite meditation on the genres they represent. Although medium-specific opportunities and challenges underlie their very different geneses, they have influenced each other in terms of both form and content. In more ways than one, Film continues where Play left off. Whereas in Play the genesis shows a steady increase in speech tempo to the point of near unintelligibility, the silent Film radically eliminates speech from the outset. Conversely, the cinematic element is also clearly present in Play, notably in the crucial role assigned to the light beam as the mechanical, mindless inquisitor. Both works are grounded in technology and rely heavily on explanatory notes for the members of their production teams, thus exposing the inherently collaborative nature of such projects. The genetic critical analysis of the manuscripts of Play / Comédie and Film not only contributes to the interpretation of each work separately but also considers the two works together through the prism of Beckett?s multimedial authorship. 00This volume is part of the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project (BDMP), a collaboration between the Centre for Manuscript Genetics (University of Antwerp), the Beckett International Foundation (University of Reading) and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (University of Texas at Austin), with the support of the Estate of Samuel Beckett.

Download or read book Samuel Beckett written by Jennifer M. Jeffers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Beckett: A Casebook may be characterized as a new collection of essays by a generation of Beckett scholars who did not have access to the author. This text demarcates the line between the critical work produced when Beckett was alive, and the critical work produced within ten years of the author's death. This collection is distinctive, too, because the text offers a variety of critical perspectives which engage and problematize Beckett's dramatic canon. From Deleuzean rhizomatics to New Historicism to the crucial question of gender-each reading re-positions Beckett's plays and forces us to rethink our standard interpretations of Beckett's drama.

It includes both the major dramatic works and the short and more compressed texts for the stage and for radio. 'He believes in the cadence, the comma, the bite of word on reality, whatever else he believes; and his devotion to them, he makes clear, is a sufficient focus for the reader's attention. In the modern history of literature he is a unique moral figure, not a dreamer of rose-gardens but a cultivator of what will grow in the waste land, who can make us see the exhilarating design that thorns and yucca share with whatever will grow anywhere.' - Hugh Kenner Contents: Waiting for Godot, Endgame, Happy Days, All That Fall, Acts Without Words, Krapp's Last Tape, Roughs for the Theatre, Embers, Roughs for the Radio, Words and Music, Cascando, Play, Film, The Old Tune, Come and Go, Eh Joe, Breath, Not I, That Time, Footfalls, Ghost Trio,... but the clouds..., A Piece of Monologue, Rockaby, Ohio Impromptu, Quad, Catastrophe, Nacht und Traume, What Where.

Book excerpt: Reassessing the notions of ?undoing? and ?vaguening? that dominate genetic studies of Beckett?s work in theatre, television and film, the present volume in the BDMP series analyses the writing process of his radio drama, to illustrate how he grappled with the unique affordances of the medium while exploiting its ephemerality. In addition to Beckett?s six canonical works for radio, written in French and English from 1956 to 1962 (All That Fall, Embers, Pochaderadiophonique, Words and Music, Esquisse radiophonique, Cascando), his first ever radio script (The Capital of the Ruins, 1946) and his adaptation of Robert Pinget?s radio play La Manivelle (The Old Tune, 1959) are also included, as well as two previously unknown works: ?All but I? (1973) and ?Hörendspiel? (1988). For every text a detailed chronology is established in relation to Beckett?s other output, and his role in the recording process is reconstructed on the basis of archival materials from the BBC and RTF broadcasting services. With more than fifty newly discovered drafts, this book offers the most comprehensive study of Beckett?s radio plays to date, including his self-translations and those that he made in collaboration with Pinget.00This volume is part of the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project (BDMP), a collaboration between the Centre for Manuscript Genetics (University of Antwerp), the Beckett International Foundation (University of Reading) and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (University of Texas at Austin), with the support of the Estate of Samuel Beckett.

Download or read book Beckett s afterlives written by Jonathan Bignell and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the steady rise in adaptations of Samuel Beckett’s work across the world following the author’s death in 1989, Beckett’s afterlives is the first book-length study dedicated to this creative phenomenon. The collection employs interrelated concepts of adaptation, remediation and appropriation to reflect on Beckett’s own evolving approach to crossing genre boundaries and to analyse the ways in which contemporary artists across different media and diverse cultural contexts – including the UK, Europe, the USA and Latin America – continue to engage with Beckett. The book offers fresh insights into how his work has kept inspiring both practitioners and audiences in the twenty-first century, operating through methodologies and approaches that aim to facilitate and establish the study of modern-day adaptations, not just of Beckett but other (multimedia) authors as well.
