The recipient of the annual Award for Outstanding Book in Theatre Practice and Pedagogy from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, This Is My Body realigns representational practices in ...the early Middle Ages with current debates on the nature of representation. Michal Kobialkai's study views the medieval concept of representation as having been in flux and crossed by different modes of seeing, until it was stabilized by the constitutions of the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215. Kobialka argues that the concept of representation in the early Middle Ages had little to do with the tradition that considers representation in terms of Aristotle or Plato; rather, it was enshrined in the interpretation of Hoc est corpus meum This is my body—the words spoken by Christ to the apostles at the Last Supper—and in establishing the visibility of the body of Christ that had disappeared from view.
This analysis of five exemplary domestic plays-the anonymousArden of FavershamandA Warning for Fair Women(1590s), Thomas Heywood'sA Woman Killed with Kindness(1607), Thomas Middleton'sWomen Beware ...Women(ca. 1613), and Walter Mountfort'sThe Launching of the Mary, or The Seaman's Honest Wife (1632)-offers a new approach to the emerging ideology of the private and public, or what Ann C. Christensen terms "the tragedy of the separate spheres." Feminist scholarship has identified the fruitful gaps between theories and practices of household government in early modern Europe, while work on the global Renaissance attends to commercial expansion, cross-cultural encounters, and colonial settlements.Separation Scenesbrings these critical concerns together to expose the intimate and disruptive relationships between the domestic culture and business culture of early modern England.Separation Scenesargues that domestic plays make the absence of husbands for business the subject of tragedy by focusing not on where men traveled but on whom and what they left behind. Elements that critics have rightly associated with domestic tragedy-adultery, sensational murders, and the lavishly articulated operations of domestic life-define this world, which, Christensen argues, was equally shaped by the absence of husbands. Her interpretations of these domestic plays invite us to historicize and further complicate the seemingly universal binary between a feminine "private sphere" and a masculine "public sphere."Separation Scenesdemonstrates how domestic drama played an active, dynamic, and critical role in deliberating the costs of commercial travel as it disrupted domestic conduct and prompted realignments within the home.
Referencing early modern English play texts alongside contemporary records, accounts and statutes, this study offers an overdue assessment of the relationship between the dramatic efforts of the ...universities and early modern male identity. Taking into account the near single-sex constitution of early modern universities, the book argues that performances of university plays, and student responses to them, were key ways of exploring and shaping early modern masculinity.
En 1871, en medio de los debates sobre el establecimiento de la ópera española, Guillermo Morphy, el Conde de Morphy, publica un artículo de fondo en el que acomete un modelo de drama lírico nacional ...vinculado a la tradición musical centroeuropea. Su proposición constituye un paso adelante hacia el drama lírico moderno que otorgara a España un sitio en la escena musical europea. Este trabajo recupera el movimiento de renovación dentro del nacionalismo musical liderado por el Conde de Morphy durante la Restauración borbónica, con importantes avances en la escena culta musical española. Con este propósito, nos aproximamos a la actividad regeneracionista y crítica musical de Morphy y su influencia en aquellos compositores que estuvieron más unidos a su figura como Tomás Bretón, Pablo Casals e Isaac Albéniz, poniendo el foco de atención en la cuestión de la ópera española como señal de identidad nacional. Recogemos asimismo una relación de los artículos publicados por Morphy en la prensa.
This ethnographic drama script is adapted from observations conducted in a large city centre library in the UK. The action focuses on the staff room in the library, where the fictionalised characters ...of four customer experience assistants, threatened with redundancy, take their lunch and tea breaks. The ethnographic drama is a creative curation of field notes, transcripts, audio recordings, video recordings, conversations and observations. It tells a story of political tension in everyday life at a time of austerity.
As well as 'play-makers' and 'poets', playwrights of the early modern period were known as 'play-patchers' because their texts were made from separate documents. This book is the first to consider ...all the papers created by authors and theatres by the time of the opening performance, recovering types of script not previously known to have existed. With chapters on plot-scenarios, arguments, playbills, prologues and epilogues, songs, staged scrolls, backstage-plots and parts, it shows how textually distinct production was from any single unified book. And, as performance documents were easily lost, relegated or reused, the story of a play's patchy creation also becomes the story of its co-authorship, cuts, revisions and additions. Using a large body of fresh evidence, Documents of Performance in Early Modern England brings a wholly new reading to printed and manuscript playbooks of the Shakespearean period, redefining what a play, and what a playwright, actually is.
Breaking new ground in the study of tragedy, early modern theatre, and literary London,Metropolitan Tragedydemonstrates that early modern tragedy emerged from the juncture of radical changes in ...London's urban fabric and the city's judicial procedures. Marissa Greenberg argues that plays by Shakespeare, Milton, Massinger, and others rework classical conventions to represent the city as a locus of suffering and loss while they reflect on actual sources of injustice in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century London: structural upheaval, imperial ambition, and political tyranny.
Drawing on a rich archive of printed and manuscript sources, including numerous images of England's capital, Greenberg reveals the competing ideas about the metropolis that mediated responses to theatrical tragedy. The first study of early modern tragedy as an urban genre,Metropolitan Tragedyadvances our understanding of the intersections between genre and history.
El volumen (publicado tambien con acceso libre en internet, https://digitalisdsp.uc.pt/bitstream/10316.2/44015/1/Irreligiosidad.pdf) se abre con un prologo en ingles de M. Domingo Gygax ...("Irreligiosity in Fifth-Century Athens", pp. 11-14) que sirve de presentacion y ubica los problemas fundamentales de concepto y metodo que presenta el abordaje de un tema capital en la evolución del pensamiento y las ideas de la Atenas clasica. El autor destaca cómo la ciudad intervino en los debates religiosos mientras que, de otro lado, en la cultura helenica no existia una imposición de una ortodoxia religiosa que provocase una reacción; en todo caso, por ello mismo el fenómeno pudo ser menos visible, y al mismo tiempo mas enconado en Atenas, donde mas textos estaban en circulación. A continuación, Ramón Palerm revisa en la sección siguiente ("Comedia", pp. 154-205) los loci de la obra aristofánica con escenas relativas a la divinidad (Sócrates y la impiedad; la intervención en la guerra; las nuevas condiciones económicas, etc.). Por ultimo, F. Frazier ("Regards Grecs sur L'Athenes du Vе siecle et 'L' irreligion' de Platon a Plutarque", pp. 295-357) constituye un ensayo a modo de epílogo que comienza planteando la dimensión cívica o política de la religión griega, dimensión cruzada por la dicotomía entre el pensamiento sobre el hecho religioso y los actos determinados que concretizan el mismo, todo lo cual va a determinar el tratamiento de las cuestiones de irreligiosidad.
