UNE SECONDE TROIE Andromaque De Racine Ou L'art De Refaire La Guerre
GOMOT, Guillaume - Une seconde Troie. Carnets : revue électronique d’études françaises. IIe série, nº 5, 2015, p. 115-133 UNE SECONDE TROIE Andromaque de Racine ou l’art de refaire la guerre GUILLAUME GOMOT Centre de Recherche sur les Images et leurs Relations (Paris III) [email protected] Résumé : Définis par leur ascendance illustre, les personnages d’Andromaque, premier chef- d’œuvre de Racine (1667), évoquent souvent la possibilité d’un « second Ilion ». Le dramaturge semble ainsi élaborer une tragédie de la répétition, fondée sur le souvenir d’images à la fois ressassées et cristallisées, sur la pesanteur d’un passé omniprésent et sur la reprise incessante de conflits antérieurs, d’ordre amoureux ou guerrier. Mais comment les figures tragiques résistent-elles à cette position intenable ? Il s’agira ici de suivre l’onde de choc provoquée par la guerre dans le poème racinien et de dessiner les linéaments composés par cette déflagration verbale qui permet à Racine d’animer avec puissance l’imaginaire du conflit. Mots-clés : Racine, tragédie, Andromaque, guerre de Troie, répétition Abstract : Defined by their well-known ancestors, the characters in Andromache (1667) – Racine’s first masterpiece – often evoke the possibility of a “second Ilium”. In this play, the author develops the theme of repetition, thanks to memories of both hackneyed and crystallized images, an omnipresent and burdensome past and overused past conflicts about love and war. How can tragic figures resist this untenable position? It will be necessary to focus on war and the shock waves it provoked before sketching the outline of this verbal explosion that enabled Racine to voice out his powerful vision of war. -

Department of 'HvS.'hK^ The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date l^.+. 2000. 11 Abstract Wilhelm Tell, the rugged mountain peasant armed with his crossbow, is the quintessential symbol of Switzerland. He personifies both Switzerland's ancient liberty and the concept of an armed Swiss citizenry. His likeness is everywhere in modern Switzerland and his symbolic value is clearly understood: patriotism, independence, self-defense. Tell's status as the preeminent national symbol of Switzerland is, however, relatively new. While enlightened reformers of the eighteenth century cultivated the image of Tell for patriotic purposes, it was, in fact, during the French occupation of Switzerland that Wilhelm Tell emerged as a national symbol. -

ANDROMAQUE Racine
HUMANITIES INSTITUTE Frederic Will, Ph.D. ANDROMAQUE Racine Overview Racine’s Andromaque, his most complex and perfect play of passion, intrigue, and tragedy, was first performed at the court of Louis XIV in November l667, then presented in public a few days later. The play concerns events occurring in the aftermath of the Trojan War—events recorded in classical literature by the Andromacheof Euripides, and by the Third Book of Virgil’s Aeneid. Andromache has been given to Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, as part of the Greek post-War spoils, and finds herself in a terrible bind: she is at the center of two loyalties, to her husband Hector, the now dead leader of the Trojans, in whose honor she cannot give in to the marital desires of her captor, Pyrrhus; and to her son, Astyanax, whom she can apparently save only by giving in to the amorous advances of her captor Pyrrhus. Around this nucleus of dilemma swirl around robin of moral and amorous complexities at the court of Pyrrhus. Story As the play opens, Orestes, son of Agamemnon, is meeting an old friend, Pylades, at that court. The Greeks are worried; rumor has it, apparently, that Pyrrhus has fallen in love with Andromache, and for her sake he is protecting Astyanax, son of Hector—and a threat to the Greeks from the Trojan line. The Greeks have come to take Astyanax away, but in addition Orestes has deep affection for Hermione, Pyrrhus’ neglected fiancée. Orestes makes his demands to Pyrrhus, and is rejected—Astyanax will not be released—contingent upon the love of Andromache. -

Henry Prunières, directeur de la revue et signataire de cette introduction, y stigmatisait le mépris qu'engendrait la notion d'opéra-comique parmi un public wagnérien, debussyste ou stravinskien. Où en sommes-nous, 70 ans plus tard ? Comme ce numéro vénérable, le dossier que vous allez lire se propose de faire le tour du genre, de son éclosion au XVIIIe siècle à son déclin fin du siècle suivant, et en tournant les projecteurs sur les acteurs principaux : Grétry, Boieldieu, Hérold, Adam et Auber. Qu'est-ce que l'opéra-comique ? Né des vaudevilles donnés sur les tréteaux des foires parisiennes, il devint "comédie mêlée d'ariettes", définissant ainsi immédiatement sa singularité formelle, à savoir l'alternance du parlé et du chanté. -
Die Eidgenossen Als Lykier Bachofens Mutterrecht Und Schillers Wilhelm Tell
Dtsch Vierteljahrsschr Literaturwiss Geistesgesch (2020) 94:347–383 https://doi.org/10.1007/s41245-020-00111-5 BEITRAG Die Eidgenossen als Lykier Bachofens Mutterrecht und Schillers Wilhelm Tell Yahya Elsaghe Online publiziert: 19. August 2020 © Der/die Autor(en) 2020 Zusammenfassung Wie verhielt sich Johann Jakob Bachofen, der unablässig den Wahrheitsgehalt klassischer oder auch wildfremder Mythen zu rehabilitieren ver- suchte, zur Gründungssage seines eigenen Lands? Wie zu den immer lauter gewor- denen Zweifeln an ihrem Sachgehalt? Und sieht man seinem Hauptwerk an, dass es einer geschrieben hat, der zumal von ihrer Schiller’schen Aufbereitung geprägt sein musste? Oder in welcher Beziehung steht seine Theorie vom einstigen Mutterrecht des antiken Kulturraums zu den Vorstellungen, die Schiller sich und der Nachwelt von den alten Schweizern und Schweizerinnen machte? Die notgedrungen nur noch spekulative Antwort auf diese letzte Frage wirft immerhin ein Licht auf die Ge- | downloaded: 27.12.2020 schlechterverhältnisse in Schillers Wilhelm Tell und dessen wichtigster Quelle, die auch Bachofen nachweislich bekannt war. The Swiss as Lycians Bachofen’s Mother Right and Schiller’s William Tell Abstract How did Johann Jakob Bachofen, who constantly tried to rehabilitate the truth of classical or even entirely alien myths, react to the legend of his own coun- try’s founding and to the ever growing doubts about its substance? And does one see in his main work that it was written by someone who must have been influenced by Schiller’s treatment of this legend? Or how does his theory of the former mother right of the ancient cultural realm relate to the ideas that Schiller developed for himself and posterity about the old Switzerland’s brothers – and sisters? The necessarily only speculative answer to this last question nevertheless sheds light on the gender re- lations in Schiller’s William Tell and his most important source, which demonstra- bly was also known to Bachofen. -
