内容简介
In the first collection of its kind, Timothy Murray brings together writing by leading French thinkers on the political effects of theatricality on theater, film, literature, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. In addition to recently translate d work by Cixous and Deleuze, the collection features English translations of essays by Althusser, Derrida, Durand, Fanon, Feral, Foucault, Girard, Green, Irigaray, Kristeva, Lacoue-Labarthe, Lyotard, and Marin."" "Mimesis, Masochism, and Mime" provides a welcome theoretical contribution to recent theories of performance and to the development of French cultural studies. Its emphasis on the politics of theatricality lends unprecedented focus to French theorizations of the body, gender, sight, screen , voice, territoriality, otherness, and diversity. In so doing, the volume provides an intellectual context and theoretical blueprint for future work in the cultural study of mimesis, masochism, and mime. The collection high light s the importance of theatricality to the theory and practice of aesthetics as well as to French debates over patriarchy, absolutism, and metaphysics. In turn, wide-ranging analyses provide a range of approaches to the politics of identity, feminism, marginality, and postcoloniality. Timothy Murray's introduction makes clear the theoretical context of the volume, and situates the book in relation to recent Anglo-American debates over realism, multiculturalism, and identity politics. The contributors are especially helpful in linking varying political accounts of ideology, philosophy, and psychoanalysis to historical and contemporary work in performance, film, and video . Astute commentaries on Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Artaud are combined with fascinating analyses of more recent mixed- media performance, from the European stage (Duras, Theatre du Soleil, Bene, and Strehler), to the site of North American performance (Snow, Mabou Mines, Wilson, and Rainer)."Mimesis, Masochism, and Mime" provides a stunning account of the political importance of theatricality to contemporary French thought and will be welcomed by reader s in French studies, theory, theater, cultural studies, film, women's studies, aesthetics, and psychoanalysis. "The essays . . .are judiciously chosen, accurately justified, wide in range within the dispensation of post-structuralist thought--that is, they touch on everything from the question of origins to the libidinal economy of performance to post- Brechtian staging to the ineliminable shadow play of tragedy through its ideological demystification by schizoanalysis to feminism in the theater." --Herbert Blau, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Timothy Murray is Professor of English at Cornell University and former Editor of "Theatre Journal." He is the author of "Theatrical Legitimation: Allegories of Genius in Seventeenth-Century England and France" and "Like a Film: Ideological Fantasy on Screen, Camera, and Canvas."
