Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to determine the status of the art of direction in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries in Italy, to appraise its first emergence as an independent craft, and to examine its changing artistic ideals in the context of the dominant styles of the time. To this effect I examine the following texts, which represent the earliest formal treatments of direction: Quattro dialoghi in materia di rappresentazioni sceniche (1565) by Leone De Sommi, also known as Leone Ebreo, professional director at the court of Mantua; Della poesia rappresentativa e del modo di rappresentare le favole sceniche (1598) by Angelo Ingegneri, director of the first production of Oedipus the King (1585) in modern Europe; and Il corago o vero alcune osservazioni per mettere ben in scena le composizioni drammatiche (1628), an anonymous treatise by a professional director in the early baroque theatre. Most theatre historians quickly dismiss the idea of the art of directing before the nineteenth and twentieth centuries on the grounds that there were no professional directors before this period and no formal treatments of the art of direction worthy of notice. By closely examining the theory and methodology of De Sommi, Ingegneri and the author of Il corago, I argue that their work in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries already has all the fundamental characteristics of the work of modern professional directors. I examine their approach to textual analysis, casting, working with actors, acting and technical rehearsals, costume and scenic design, use of stage machines, music and sound effects, and production organization. In the process, this thesis defines each author's concept of the role and function of the director and his strategic position in the hierarchy of theatrical production.

Download or read book Baroque Horrors written by David Castillo and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-03-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David Castillo takes us on a tour of some horrific materials that have rarely been considered together. He sheds a fantastical new light on the baroque." ---Anthony J. Cascardi, University of California Berkeley "Baroque Horrors is a textual archeologist's dream, scavenged from obscure chronicles, manuals, minor histories, and lesser-known works of major artists. Castillo finds tales of mutilation, mutation, monstrosity, murder, and mayhem, and delivers them to us with an inimitable flair for the sensational that nonetheless rejects sensationalism because it remains so grounded in historical fact." ---William Egginton, Johns Hopkins University "Baroque Horrors is a major contribution to baroque ideology, as well as an exploration of the grotesque, the horrible, the fantastic. Castillo organizes his monograph around the motif of curiosity, refuting the belief that Spain is a country incapable of organized scientific inquiry." ---David Foster, Arizona State University Baroque Horrors turns the current cultural and political conversation from the familiar narrative patterns and self-justifying allegories of abjection to a dialogue on the history of our modern fears and their monstrous offspring. When life and death are severed from nature and history, "reality" and "authenticity" may be experienced as spectator sports and staged attractions, as in the "real lives" captured by reality TV and the "authentic cadavers" displayed around the world in the Body Worlds exhibitions. Rather than thinking of virtual reality and staged authenticity as recent developments of the postmodern age, Castillo looks back to the Spanish baroque period in search for the roots of the commodification of nature and the horror vacui that accompanies it. Aimed at specialists, students, and readers of early modern literature and culture in the Spanish and Anglophone traditions as well as anyone interested in horror fantasy, Baroque Horrors offers new ways to rethink broad questions of intellectual and political history and relate them to the modern age. David Castillo is Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University at Buffalo, SUNY.
