Durée : 2h10 2 Jean Racine, auteur Jean Racine (1639-1699) a reçu une formation janséniste au monastère de Port-Royal, une institution exemplaire qui se distinguait par la qualité et la « modernité » de son enseignement. Il est l’un des rares grands écrivains du XVII eme siècle à pouvoir lire dans le texte original les auteurs tragiques grecs. Il fait ses débuts littéraires en composant des poèmes classiques d’inspiration profane. En 1667, il crée Andromaque qui remporte un vif succès. Pendant les dix années qui suivent, Racine écrit ses chefs-d’œuvre les plus connus. En 1669, il met en scène Britannicus , une tragédie politique romaine sur les jeux et enjeux liés à la quête du pouvoir (tyrannique). -
Jean Racine (1639-1699)
Jean Racine (1639-1699) Biographie ean Racine (22 décembre 1639 à 21 avril 1699) naquit à la Ferté Milon, dans l'Aisne. Issu d'un milieu bourgeois plutôt, il fut orphelin de mère à 2 ans et de père à 4 ans. Il fut alors J (1643) recueilli par ses grands-parents maternels. Les relations avec l'abbaye janséniste de Port-Royal imprégnèrent toute la vie de Racine. Il y subit l'influence profonde des «solitaires» et de leur doctrine exigeante. L'une de ses tantes y fut religieuse ; sa grand-mère s'y retint à la mort de son mari (1649). L'enfant fut alors admis aux Petites Écoles à titre gracieux. Deux séjours dans des collèges complétèrent sa formation : le collège de Beauvais (1653-1654) et le collège d'Harcourt, à Paris, où il fit sa philosophie (1658). À 20 ans, nantis d'une formation solide mais démuni de biens, Racine fut introduit dans le monde par son cousin Nicolas Vitart (1624-1683), intendant du duc de Luynes. Il noua ses premières relations littéraires (La Fontaine) et donna ses premiers essais poétiques. En 1660, son ode la Nymphe de la Seine à la Reine, composée à l'occasion du mariage de Louis XIV, retint l'attention de Charles Perrault. Mais, pour assurer sa subsistance, il entreprit de rechercher un bénéfice ecclésiastique et séjourna à Uzès (1661-1663) auprès de son oncle, le vicaire général Antoine Sconin. Rentré à Paris en 1663, il se lança dans la carrière des lettres. 140101 Bibliotheca Alexandrina Établi par Alaa Mahmoud, Mahi Rabie et Salma Hamza Rejetant la morale austère de Port-Royal et soucieux de considération mondaine et de gloire officielle, Racine s'orienta d'abord vers la poésie de cour : une maladie que contracta Louis XIV lui inspira une Ode sur la convalescence du Roi (1663). -

Abstract How to measure proximities and oppositions in large text corpora? Intertextual distance provides a simple and interesting solution. Its properties make it a good tool for text classification, and especially for tree-analysis which is fully presented and discussed here. In order to measure the quality of this classification, two indices are proposed. The method presented provides an accurate tool for literary studies -as is demonstrated by applying it to two areas of French literature, Racine's tragedies and an authorship attribution experiment. -

M. DC LXX. AVEC PRIVILÈGE DU ROI - 3 - À MONSEIGNEUR LE DUC DE CHEVEREUSE MONSEIGNEUR, Vous serez peut-être étonné de voir votre nom à la tête de cet ouvrage ; et si je vous avais demandé la permission de vous l'offrir, je doute si je l'aurais obtenue. Mais ce serait être en quelque sorte ingrat que de cacher plus longtemps au monde les bontés dont vous m'avez toujours honoré. Quelle apparence qu'un homme qui ne travaille que pour la gloire se puisse taire d'une protection aussi glorieuse que la vôtre ? Non, MONSEIGNEUR, il m'est trop avantageux que l'on sache que mes amis mêmes ne vous sont pas indifférents, que vous prenez part à tous mes ouvrages, et que vous m'avez procuré l'honneur de lire celui-ci devant un homme dont toutes les heures sont précieuses. Vous fûtes témoin avec quelle pénétration d'esprit il jugea l'économie de la pièce, et combien l'idée qu'il s'est formée d'une excellente tragédie est au-delà de tout ce que j'ai pu concevoir. Ne craignez pas, MONSEIGNEUR, que je m'engage plus avant, et que n'osant le louer en face, je m'adresse à vous pour le louer avec plus de liberté. Je sais qu'il serait dangereux de le fatiguer de ses louanges, et j'ose dire que cette même modestie, qui vous est commune avec lui, n'est pas un des moindres liens qui vous attachent l'un à l'autre. -

Signed: Carolyn Rosen……………………………………………………………… Date: ………20 December 2015……………………………………………… 2 Abstract The Body and the Senses in Racine’s Theatre Until now, critics have not made full use of the perceptual awareness with which Racine endows his characters. This particular consciousness lends itself to a study inspired by phenomenology. Racine’s characters are fascinating because their language and action speak to the dramatist’s sophisticated portrayal of embodied sense experience. -

Chance in the tragedies of Racine Is the outcome of Racine’s tragedies decided by a throw of the dice? Put like this, the question invites skepticism, if not derision. Racine? Chance would be a fine thing! The reaction is understandable. Of all the great tragedies in world literature that are still performed and read, those of Racine are commonly presented as deliberately logical structures, pieces of intricate dramatic clockwork in which chance has no place. Georges Forestier has argued persuasively that these plays are carefully constructed in order to arrive at a preordained conclusion, seen as the starting-point of the playwright’s whole creative endeavor.1 Other critics have tried to demonstrate how Racine arouses interest and emotion through a carefully worked plot, and without any reliance on the gratuitous. 2 After all, are chance and coincidence not defining characteristics of melodrama? 3 And melodrama might seem, on the face of it, at an uttermost remove from Racine’s tragedies, with their Aristotelian hinterland, severely 1 See Racine, Théâtre, Poésie , ed. -

Considering three plays from Racine's middle period (}3ritannicus, Bajazet and Berenice), Chapter One seeks to uncover the basis of political power. Taking as its starting point the ambivalence underpinning the term legitimacy, Section A examines the foundations of power in the sense of political and moral authority. Section B in turn looks at the implications of these findings for the nature and operation of power, while Section C highlights the discrepancy between real and imagined power, by raising the all important question as to its locus. -

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Nina Ekstein The Weight of the Future in Racine's Theater The futurehas a curious status in the theater. Like the past, it cannot be represented on stage, but is limited to the field of discourse. The future can be spoken, but not literally pre-figured. Purely textual, lacking any referent, concretized or otherwise, the future appears essentially alien to the theater. For Anne Ubersfeld, "le probleme fondamental du temps au theatre est qu'il se situe par rapport a un ici maintenant... le theatreest ce qui par nature nie la presence du passe et du futur. L'ecriture theatrale est une ecriture au present."1 Yet the future constitutes an important portion of theatrical discourse and is a rich source of dramatic force. In this brief examination of the future, I will limit myself to the works of Jean Racine, although much of what I will say has broader import. -

Je ne me contente pas d'avoir mis à la tête de mon ouvrage le nom d'Alexandre, j'y ajoute encore celui de VOTRE MAJESTÉ, c'est-à-dire que j'assemble tout ce que le siècle présent et les siècles passés nous peuvent fournir de plus grand. Mais, SIRE, j'espère que VOTRE MAJESTÉ ne condamnera pas cette seconde hardiesse, comme elle n'a pas désapprouvé la première. Quelques efforts que l'on eût faits pour lui défigurer mon héros, il n'a pas plutôt paru devant elle, qu'elle l'a reconnu pour Alexandre. Et à qui s'en rapportera-t-on, qu'à un roi dont la gloire est répandue aussi loin que celle de ce conquérant, et devant qui l'on peut dire que tous les peuples du monde se taisent comme l'Écriture l'a dit d'Alexandre ? Je sais bien que ce silence est un silence d'étonnement et d'admiration, que jusques ici la force de vos armes ne leur a pas tant imposé que celle de vos vertus. Mais, SIRE, votre réputation n'en est pas moins éclatante, pour n'être point établie sur les embrasements et sur les ruines ; et déjà VOTRE MAJESTÉ est arrivée au comble de la gloire par un chemin plus nouveau et plus difficile que celui par où Alexandre y est monté. -
Seventeenth-Century News
68 seventeenth-century news Ronald W. Tobin. L’aventure racinienne. Un parcours franco-américain. Paris: L’Harmattan, 2020. 243. $27.75/25€. Review by Suzanne C. Toczyski, Sonoma State University. One of the most recent publications in L’Harmattan’s nearly twenty-year-old Approches littéraires series, L’aventure racinienne: Un parcours franco-américain, by noted American dix-septiémiste Ronald Tobin, presents fourteen of Tobin’s many articles, thirteen of which have been published previously (between 1974 and 2017); five have been translated from English. Taken together, they offer a taste of Ron Tobin’s important contributions to Racine criticism over a long and productive career, and confirming for anyone who may have doubted it, Tobin’s longstanding love for the playwright Jean Racine, and his fine critical eye on Racine’s theatrical production. Tobin’s occasional refrain—for example, “Act IV is always intense”—makes one suspect that the scholar’s gifts have been appreciated not only by his peers, but also by the many students at the University of California, Santa Barbara to have sat in his classroom over the years. Well known for his books Racine and Seneca (1971), Tarte à la crème: Comedy and Gastronomy in Molière’s Theater (1990), and Jean Racine, Revisited (1999), Tobin has also edited or co-edited several volumes of essays, including Racine et/ou le classicisme, the acta from the 1999 Santa Barbara conference which Tobin organized in celebra- tion of the 300th anniversary of the playwright’s death. In L’aventure racinienne, Tobin now turns his editorial attention to his own scholarly production. -

Certainly, there are a number of advantages in retaining such a rhyme-scheme. The sound-world evoked clearly signals that the plays are Three hundred or so years after Jean Racine’s death in 1699, the best indeed a historical, and not a contemporary, utterance; and the drama is reason for offering a new translation of his work may also seem the most unambiguously positioned within past time. The couplets draw attention, ironic: that his plays continue to appear untranslatable. Indeed, there could also, to the shaped form of the expression, which can often be tellingly be few better summaries of his current position within the English- counterpointed against content that is tense with uncertainty or speaking world than the opening words of L.P.
