Download or read book The Theatre de la Monnaie and Theatre Life in the 18th Century Austrian Netherlands written by Bram Van Oostveldt and published by Academia Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Austrian Netherlands, city culture determined social life: the cities' feeling of independence stimulated the realization of a personal interdependence within them and consolidated a new conception of society and its focal point. The court attempted to unite and appease at the same time. Theater supplied the symbols and the rituals which shaped and contributed to the building of a new identity. This book describes this social progress from the point of view of the theater and in doing so offers the first extensive study of the influence of the Brussels' Monnaie Theatre on theatrical life in the Dutch speaking part of the Southern Netherlands.
Download or read book Collection Laboratory Theater written by Helmar Schramm and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume launches a new, eight-volume series entitled Theatrum Scientiarum on the history of science and the media which has arisen from the work of the Berlin special research project on "Performative Cultures" under the aegis of the Theatre Studies Department of the Free University. The volume examines the role of space in the constitution of knowledge in the early modern age. "Kunstkammern" (art and curiosities cabinets), laboratories and stages arose in the 17th century as instruments of research and representation. There is, however, still a lack of precise descriptions of the epistemic contribution made by material and immaterial space in the performance of knowledge. Therefore, the authors present a novel view of the conditions surrounding the creation of these spatial forms. Account is taken both of the institutional framework of these spaces and their placement within the history of ideas, the architectural models and the modular differentiations, and the scientific consequences of particular design decisions. Manifold paths are followed between the location of the observer in the representational space of science and the organization in time and space of sight, speech and action in the canon of European theatrical forms. Not only is an account given of the mutual architectural and intellectual influence of the spaces of knowledge and the performance spaces of art; they are also analyzed to ascertain what was possible in them and through them. This volume is the English translation of Kunstkammer, Laboratorium, Bühne (de Gruyter, Berlin, 2003).

This book was released on 2008-05-23 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,3, Universität Konstanz, Veranstaltung: Barock, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Keine Epoche der europäischen Kulturgeschichte ist so von Widersprüchen geprägt wie das Zeitalter des Barock.“ Während sich zu Zeiten der Renaissance der Mensch seiner Freiheit und seiner schöpferischen Möglichkeiten bewusst wurde, sich erstmals als eigenständiges Individuum zu begreifen schien und sich ein dem Diesseits zugewandtes Lebensgefühl entwickelte, so scheint das Weltbild des barocken Zeitalters dem vollständig entgegen zu stehen. Nahezu jeder Lebensbereich ist von Antithetik geprägt: Ewigkeit und Zeit, Wohlstand und Armut, Aufbau und Zerstörung. Die starken Gegensätze und Spannungen bringen ein großes Vergänglichkeitsbewusstsein in der Gesellschaft zu Tage. Ebenso wirkt die Allgegenwärtigkeit des Todes, ausgelöst durch den 30-jährigen Krieg, der Lebensgier der Menschen entgegen, was sowohl die Entstehung von religiösen Schwärmereien, als auch fanatischem Glauben noch stärker vorantreibt. Die deutsche Barockliteratur versucht das Lebensgefühl der Zeit zu thematisieren und dabei besonders „die polaren Spannungen, [...] das Gegeneinander von üppigem Diesseitsgenuß und fanatischer Jenseitssehnsucht, [...] Körperschwere und Geistesauftrieb“ aufzugreifen und zu diskutieren. Eine besondere Bedeutung kommt hierbei der Bildlichkeit zu. Über die Jahre hinweg entstand eine Vielzahl an Bildern, deren Bedeutungen festgelegt, und die, systematisiert und geordnet, den Dichtern des Barocks zugänglich waren. Sie wurden immer wieder aufgegriffen und in neuen Variationen dargestellt, wobei verbindliche Inhalte und vorgeschriebene Regeln einzuhalten waren. Die bedeutendsten Stilmittel sind dabei Metonymien, Metaphern, Embleme und Allegorien. So wird das 17. Jahrhundert oft auch als „emblematisches“ oder „allegorisches“ Jahrhundert bezeichnet. Auch Andreas Gryphius, der als Lyriker und Dramatiker zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Barockdichtern zu zählen ist, bedient sich in seinen Stücken zahlreicher dieser Stilmittel, wobei dem Emblem als solches, eine besondere Bedeutung zukommt. Im Folgenden soll daher die „allgemeine“ Bedeutung und Funktion, die das Emblem in der Zeit des Barock erhält, herausgearbeitet und einige der bekanntesten Embleme, anhand der von Andreas Gryphius verfassten Märtyrertragödie „Catharina von Georgien“, aus dem Jahre 1657, näher betrachtet, deren Auslegung beschrieben und ihre Funktion hinsichtlich des Stücks, diskutiert werden.

Download or read book Gods of Play written by Kristiaan Aercke and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1994-08-04 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the close connections between politics, culture, art, and philosophy in seventeenth-century Europe. As an emblem of this interrelationship, the author has chosen the phenomenon of the splendid festive performance of spectacular plays and operas given at absolutist courts in Rome, Madrid, Paris, Versailles, and Vienna between 1631 and 1668. Gods of Play fills voids in the scholarly literature on the seventeenth-century, on absolutism, on courtly theatricality, and on the philosophy of play. Aercke demonstrates that such splendid performances were not just frivolous entertainment for the courtly class but were serious activities with far-ranging political consequences.
