Abstract

This collection of essays explores the representations, incarnations and manifestations of evil when it is embodied in a particular villain or in an evil presence. All the essays contribute to showing how omnipresent yet vastly under-studied the phenomena of the villain and evil are. Together they confirm the importance of the continued study of villains and villainy in order to understand the premises behind the representation of evil, its internal localized logic, its historical contingency, and its specific conditions.

Abstract

Les héros des séries télé américaines ont changé. Ce ne sont plus ces personnages monolithiques dont on admire le courage et les valeurs. Selon François Jost, spécialiste de l’analyse de la télévision, ils sont désormais des personnages que l’on peut qualifier de “méchants”, mais aussi, surtout, des caractères le plus souvent imprévisibles et qui évoluent au fil des saisons. Ces “nouveaux méchants” ne sont pas nés méchants, ils le sont devenus et c’est cette transformation qui nous passionne, car pour la comprendre, il faut peu à peu approcher une vérité intérieure de plus en plus secrète et sombre. Enfin, l’auteur de ce passionnant essai montre avec brio comment ces nouveaux méchants ont tous en commun de remettre en cause le “rêve américain”, et comment ces séries, aussi différentes soient-elles, constituent en fait une histoire du capitalisme revisitée du côté de la violence et de la désillusion. Un regard pertinent, original qui prend les séries que nous connaissons tous pour de formidables outils à explorer l’âme humaine et à mieux comprendre l’évolution du monde.

Abstract

This approach to Shakespeare's treatment of revenge emphasizes the psychology of revenge and, in particular, the relationship of revenge to the experience of victimization. Instead of assuming that dramatic avengers reflect mental imbalance to be condemned for moral and civil offenses, Keyishian treats revenge as a strategy by which victims strive to restore personal integrity and recover from feelings of powerlessness, violation, and injustice. Keyishian bases his discussion on Renaissance theories about the proper and beneficial role of the passions, from Aristotle and Aquinas to Francis Bacon, Niccolo Machiavelli, and others. His study ranges from authentic and redemptive avengers like Macduff to purely vindictive ones like Iago.
