Book Description
Les femmes savantes, c'est le savoir devenu fou, donc comique. Bélise aime trop les romans, Philaminte trop le bel esprit. Une teinture de philosophie, ou de science, ne suffit jamais ; le snobisme n'épargne pas les hommes, pédants ridicules comme Vadius et Trissotin. Le pire est que les héros aiment comme ils savent, de loin. Molière a transformé ces modèles momentanés en types éternels, en ancêtres de Bouvard et Pécuchet.
The Cambridge Companion to Moliere
Author: David BradbyPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139827294
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
A detailed introduction to Molière and his plays, this Companion evokes his own theatrical career, his theatres, patrons, the performers and theatre staff with whom he worked, and the various publics he and his troupes entertained with such success. It looks at his particular brands of comedy and satire. L'École des femmes, Le Tartuffe, Dom Juan, Le Misanthrope, L'Avare and Les Femmes savantes are examined from a variety of different viewpoints, and through the eyes of different ages and cultures. The comedies-ballets, a genre invented by Molière and his collaborators, are re-instated to the central position which they held in his œuvre in Molière's own lifetime; his two masterpieces in this genre, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme and Le Malade imaginaire, have chapters to themselves. Finally, the Companion looks at modern directors' theatre, exploring the central role played by productions of his work in successive 'revolutions' in the dramatic arts in France.
Between Air and Electricity
Author: Cathy van EckPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501327607
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Composers and sound artists have explored for decades how to transform microphones and loudspeakers from “inaudible” technology into genuinely new musical instruments. While the sound reproduction industry had claimed perfect high fidelity already at the beginning of the twentieth century, these artists found surprising ways of use – for instance tweaking microphones, swinging loudspeakers furiously around, ditching microphones in all kinds of vessels, or strapping loudspeakers to body parts of the audience. Between air and electricity traces their quest and sets forward a new theoretical framework, providing historic background on technological and artistic development, and diagrams of concert and performance set-ups. From popular noise musician Merzbow to minimalist classic Alvin Lucier, cult instrument inventor Hugh Davies, or contemporary visual artist Lynn Pook – they all aimed to make audible what was supposed to remain silent.

Book Description
Les grandes pièces du répertoire : Modernisées dans leur présentation ; Préfacées par des gens de théâtre : acteurs, metteurs en scène et critiques ; Commentées et annotées par des universitaires, tous spécialistes du théâtre. Les femmes soulèvent à chaque époque - croyant l'inventer - la querelle de l'égalité des sexes, qui dure en vérité depuis que le monde est monde et a pris conscience qu'il existait entre eux une certaine différence. Dans Les Femmes savantes, Molière s'attaque cependant moins au beau sexe qu'aux cuistres des deux bords. Si Bélise ou Philaminte revendiquent un savoir qui leur encombre la langue sans leur pénétrer l'esprit, l'art et la science de Trissotin se résument également à un ridicule jargon mondain. Trissotins et trissotines : renvoyés dos à dos, enfin à égalité ! Avec peut-être...sûrement même, l'idée derrière la tête que si les hommes et les femmes sont égaux, ma foi, il en est de plus égaux que d'autres.
