It is the performers’ duty to know these principles and to explore their practical possibilities incessantly. In this consists their craft. It will then be up to them to decide how and to what ends to use this dance. This is their ethic. Does theatre anthropology have a scientific nature? It does not take measurements, it does not use a statistical method, it does not try to draw consequences for the performers’ behaviour from the knowledge of medicine, biology, psychology, sociology or the communication sciences. It is based on empirical research, from which it extracts general principles. It takes place in an operative dimension with a view to the effectiveness of scenic action. It defines a field of investigation and forges the theoretical instruments to explore it. It singles out pragmatic laws. Is it, then, a science? Eugenio Barba 6 7 I Made Bandem, Roberta Carreri, Iben Nagel Rasmussen, ISTA 5, Salento, Italy, 1987 - Photo: Tony D'Urso Foreword Eugenio Barba Dancing Questions Am I too old to found a journal of theatre anthropology? I’m 84, 22 books and hun- dreds of articles behind me. Do I still have something to say? Don’t I risk repeating what my experience has made me put on paper so many times in so many different ways? Yet some questions keep dancing in my head. They are the same ones I asked myself when I embarked on my theatre journey in the early 60s of the last century. Their sim- plicity fed my insecurity: what is the essence of theatre? Why do I want to do theatre? How can I appropriate theatrical knowledge? They prodded me to look for people who could help me unravel these questions thanks to their familiarity with the history of the profession or their technical knowledge. I speak of people in plural because, looking back in time, I realise that I have always sought energy from a mosaic of relationships, from the collective discipline of a humble craftsmanship, whose consistency can transcend into a complex experience. My whole theatre biography is made up of questions and the need for answers, partly satisfied thanks to the sharing of thought and action with men and women who are exceptional in my eyes. They constituted particular environments: a team of craftsmen, a collective creative mind of actors, a gathering of master performers from different traditions, an association of inquisitive scholars, capable of discovering what they were not looking for and of knowingly intervening in the reality of ideas and practice. Eigil Winje’s workshop in Oslo where I learned rigorous precision by welding a pro- fusion of metal pieces into a portable heater to warm Norwegian soldiers in Lapland; the crew of Talabot, a merchant ship; the unknown Teatr 13 Rz dów in Opole, Poland, with Jerzy Grotowski, Ludwik Flaszen, Jerzy Gurawski and their actors; the unrivaled group of actors from Odin Teatret; the amazing team of “performer-masters”ę of the Interna- tional School of Theatre Anthropology (ISTA); the lasting partnership with some schol- ars, and among them those of the Italian journal Teatro e Storia and those of the Institute of Dramaturgy at the University of Århus: my questions have danced with the people of these constellations and nourished my professional and intellectual roots. It is understandable that today I resume one of these questions that my daimon keeps whispering in my mind: what does the tacit knowledge, the technique, the incorporated know-how of the actor consist of? And that I face this question together with a group of people who are willing to climb this crystal mountain with me. 5 Thus, JTA was born, a Journal of Theatre Anthropology. From the desire to confront this question

  • Phi-149 Histoire Des Theories Ethiques
    PHI-149 HISTOIRE DES THEORIES ETHIQUES L’amas ouvert des Pléïades (Messier 45), dans la constellation du Taureau [email protected] Mardi 13h00 - 15h50 Bureau : A5-217 Local : A-4-271 Tél. : 450-463-1835 poste 61761 Session : Aut.-2017 A - DESCRIPTION Une théorie éthique ou philosophie morale exprime ou reflète souvent les us et coutumes d’une époque (les mœurs), mais n’en est pourtant pas la simple reprise ou description. La philosophie, en éthique comme ailleurs, se veut une activité porteuse de ses propres exigences et de ses propres critères de validité ; mais elle non plus n’échappe pas aux modifications historiques. Cette tension entre correspondance critique aux moeurs et validation par un savoir relativement autonome est constitutive de la réflexion sur l’expérience éthique et servira de fil conducteur pour le cours. Il s’agira d’expliciter et de comprendre le contenu normatif des doctrines étudiées, tant à la lumière des moeurs et problèmes qui les suscitent (approche externe, historique) que selon les propriétés théoriques (arguments, méthodes, etc.) des discours particuliers qui les structurent (approche interne, philosophique). Cette double approche permettra de cerner au mieux la tension qui non seulement appelle à la constitution d’une théorie éthique mais exige de plus sa transformation ou sa critique, et lui donne ainsi une histoire, y compris dans notre contexte « postmoderne » contemporain. A partir de ces présupposés concernant la théorisation en éthique et l’histoire des théories éthiques, leur examen mettra l’accent sur leur contexte social et philosophique d’émergence (métaphysique, cosmologie, anthropologie, psychologie) et leurs caractéristiques internes : structure et type de théorie (fondement, thèse ou principe, objet privilégié d’analyse, vocabulaire), méthode de justification et critères de validation du savoir, conception de la rationalité pratique.

  • A Driving Force, Odin Teatret: Ur-Hamletat Kronborg Castle
    ODIN TEATRET, 55 YEARS E‐ISSN 2237‐2660 A Driving Force, Odin Teatret: Ur-Hamlet at Kronborg Castle A. Gabriela RamisI IOlympic College – Bremerton/Washington, United States of America ABSTRACT – A Driving Force, Odin Teatret: Ur-Hamlet at Kronborg Castle – Ur-Hamlet is Eugenio Barba’s production performed at the Elsinore castle in Denmark in 2006. Odin Teatret worked in collaboration with many actors, dancers and musicians from diverse cultures and theatrical traditions. This paper traces the relationships that Odin Teatret has established with other theatre groups in the world, their exchanges and the concept of the third theater. It analyzes the artistic practices that Odin Teatret usually applies and how the integration of actors with different Western and Eastern backgrounds was marked by their professional trajectory. There was a clear distinction between actors with diverse theatre training and also experience, and younger Western actors who took part in Odin Teatret’s workshops. Keywords: Esthetic Principles. Ethics. Marginality. Multiculturalism. Third Theater. RÉSUMÉ – Odin Teatret, une force motrice: Ur-Hamlet au château de Kronborg – Ur- Hamlet est une mise en scène par Eugenio Barba réalisée au château de Elsinore au Danemark en 2006. Odin Teatret a travaillé en collaboration avec de nombreux acteurs, danseurs et musiciens issus de cultures et de traditions théâtrales diverses. Cet article retrace les relations qu'Odin Teatret a établies avec d'autres groupes de théâtre dans le monde, leurs échanges, et le concept du troisième théâtre. Il analyse les pratiques artistiques qu'Odin Teatret applique habituellement et comment l'intégration des acteurs avec différents expériences professionelles occidental et oriental a été marquée par leur trajectoire professionnelle.

  • 19Chronology of Works in Aesthetics and Philosophy Of
    Chronology of 19 Works in Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art Darren Hudson Hick Notes on Selection This chronology, as with this Companion as a whole, focuses on those works that contribute to the Western tradition of aesthetics, and, beginning in the twentieth century, in the analytic current of thought within that tradition (as opposed to the Continental one). As with the history of Western philosophy in general, the study of philosophical problems in art and beauty dates back to the ancient period, and is infl uenced by the major philosophical and cultural move- ments through the centuries. Much of what survives from the ancient to the post-Hellenistic period does so in fragments or references. In cases where only fragments or references exist, and where dating these is especially problematic, the author or attributed author and (where available) his dates of birth and death are listed. Where works have not survived even as fragments, these are not listed. As well, much of what sur- vives up to the medieval period is diffi cult to date, and is at times of disputable attribution. In these cases, whatever information is available is listed. Aesthetics in the period between the ancients and the medievals tends to be dominated by adherence to Platonic, Aristotelian, and other theories rooted in the ancient period, and as such tends to be generally lacking in substantive the- oretical advancements. And while still heavily infl uenced by ancient thinking, works from the medieval period tend also to be heavily infl uenced by religious thinking, and so many issues pertaining to art and aesthetics are intertwined with issues of religion as “theological aesthetics.” Movements in art theory and aes- thetics in the Renaissance, meanwhile, were largely advanced by working artists, and so tend to be couched in observational or pedagogical approaches, rather than strictly theoretical ones.

  • The Documents' Archive Odin Teatret Archives' First Steps Consisted in Collecting and Classifying Paper Documents. First
    The Documents’ Archive Odin Teatret Archives’ first steps consisted in collecting and classifying paper documents. First a Fonds Barba was established with all the documents preserved and personally ordered by Barba over a period of more than fifty years. It deals to a large extent (but not exclusively) with materials connected to his work with Odin Teatret: performances (sketches, notes, readings, etc); his relationship with the Polish director Jerzy Grotowski with whom Barba did his apprenticeship (letters, essays, typed scripts); honorary degrees, honours and prizes received ; personal documents; notebooks, sketches and photos; materials related to the text of performances; transcripts of his lectures; his articles, essays and newspaper cuttings about him. The OTA also keep Eugenio Barba’s correspondence which is not yet accessible for obvious motives of privacy but which, when available in the future, will make it possible to reconstruct relationships, shared problems, topics, reflections and phases of development concerning Odin Teatret and the milieu of which it is a part and a catalyst. At the same time, a Fonds Odin Teatret was started, including all documents kept by the theatre: press cuttings; materials for the journal “Teatrets Teori og Teknikk” published by Odin Teatret in the period 1965-1974; letters from spectators; documents about the various ISTA sessions (International School of Theatre Anthropology); texts of performances; documents about the organisation of the big seminars in the 1960s (with Jerzy Grotowski, Jean- Louis Barrault, Etienne Decroux, Jacques Lecoq, Dario Fo, the brothers Colombaioni and others), and in the 1970s (with Balinese, Indian, Japanese artists and ensembles); documents related to film projects and shooting; actors’ notes, proposals and sketches about the training or the creation of a performance, etc.

  • H-France Review Vol. 13 (January 2013), No. 16 Jennifer Tsien, The
    H-France Review Volume 13 (2013) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 13 (January 2013), No. 16 Jennifer Tsien, The Bad Taste of Others: Judging Literary Value in Eighteenth-Century France. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2012. 268 pp. Notes, works cited, index, acknowledgments. $47.50 U.S. (cl). ISBN 978-0-8122-4359-8. Review by William Ray, Reed College. The redundancy in Jennifer Tsien’s provocative title—isn’t bad taste always the taste of others?—quite precisely conveys the central idea of this volume and the limits of its argument. Tsien is less concerned with synthesizing a global theory of taste in the eighteenth century than with exploring the ways in which various parties used the label of bad taste to discredit other authors, genres, interpretations, periods, nations, or schools. According to Tsien, accusations of bad taste were used by the period’s successive critical parties to defend their opinions, works, and values against two threats posed by the expanding book market in the eighteenth century: a flood of mediocre publications that risked sullying the French reputation for cultural supremacy, and a democratization of critique that allowed people of dubious qualification to pass judgment on works. Effectively, the label of bad taste was a means of canon formation, maintaining the values of one period or party—in this case the classical ideals of the previous century—by suppressing competing works and genres. Over time, the “edifice of taste” and the canon were built “over the remains of rejected authors, styles, words, and genres” (p. 185), a selection of which Tsien resuscitates for analysis in her work.

    LA THÉORIE EN REVUE La revue Poétique (1970-2000) et la pensée théorique en études littéraires UFR de Littérature française et comparée Directeur : Professeur Antoine COMPAGNON Étudiant : CAO Viêt Dung Mémoire de Master 2 Recherche en Littérature française Sorbonne, Paris IV 2005-2006 Remerciements Mes premiers remerciements vont naturellement au professeur Antoine Compagnon dont les cours et les travaux m’ont inspiré la rigueur scientifique ainsi que le goût pour les études de l’histoire littéraire. Un grand merci à mon ami Luong Nguyen Liem Binh d’avoir fait une relecture patiente de mon travail. Je voudrais enfin remercier ma famille et particulièrement ma femme Vu Mai Trang, sans son soutien permanent et sa présence, ce travail n’aurait pas abouti. INTRODUCTION On ne se rend pas compte assez de l’effort qu’il faut fournir pour lancer une revue. Très souvent, les jeunes gens qui créent une revue sont sans argent. Ils s’associent, ils mettent en commun le fond de leur bourse et sont persuadés qu’ils vont, dès le premier numéro, trouver des lecteurs, voire des abonnés. Il leur faut bien vite déchanter. La revue paraît trois ou quatre fois, ou dix, puis disparaît. On n’entend plus parler d’elle. Seuls quelques courriéristes littéraires ont salué sa naissance… et sa mort. Cependant, nos jeunes gens ne se découragent pas : riches de l’expérience acquise, ils créent une autre revue. A la troisième, s’ils ont quelque talent, on n’ignore plus leur nom et ils sont admis à collaborer dans d’autres revues moins éphémères. […] On revient [à ces revues] plus tard, quand les jeunes gens sont devenus des maîtres, quand leurs tendances, leurs idées ont triomphé.

  • Aesthetics and the Boundaries of Rhetoric. Charles Batteaux's Les Beaux Arts Réduit À Un Même Principe (1746) and Its Danish Translation (1773-74) 
    Eiliv Vinje: Aesthetics and the Boundaries of Rhetoric. Charles Batteaux's Les beaux arts réduit à un même principe (1746) and its Danish Translation (1773-74) The Nordic Network for the History of Rhetoric Second Nordic Conference Helsinki, August 25-28, 2002 In his treatise Les beaux arts réduit à un même principe (1746) (The fine arts reduced to a single principle), Charles Batteux is in search of a principle common to all the fine arts and he argues that this principle is the imitation of beautiful nature. Batteux's famous and influential book is an important step towards a general theory of aesthetics. There is no doubt that it had a profound impact on contemporary aesthetic debates in Germany, but opinions differ among scholars as to its impact on contemporary French debate. Diderot's devastating critique from 1751 focused on Batteux's imprecision and vagueness; for example, he accused Batteux of never actually defining the term "fine nature". Some scholars (for example, John Pizer) hold that, largely because of this critique, Batteux had virtually no impact on contemporary aesthetics in his own land1. Others claim that the very idea of a unifying principle of the arts - no matter what principle - was taken up and broadcast by the encyclopaedists (Diderot, D'Alembert, Montesquieu); in other words, that Batteux's impact was enormous in France as well as in Germany. The complicated history of the various editions Les beaux arts réduits à un même principe was first published 1746 in one volume. In its wake, there followed several new editions that were substantially revised and enlarged, and had new titles.
