Abstract

If mediatization has surprisingly revealed the secret life of inert matter and the 'face of things', the flipside of this has been the petrification of living organisms, an invasion of stone bodies in a state of suspended animation. Within a contemporary imaginary pervaded by new forms of animism, the paradigm of death looms large in many areas of artistic experimentation, pushing the modern body towards mineral modes of being which revive ancient myths of flesh-made-stone and the issue of the monument. Scholars in media, visual culture and the arts propose studies of bodies of stone, from actors simulating statues to the transmutation of the filmic body into a fossil; from the real treatment of the cadaver as a mineral living object to the rediscovery of materials such as wax; from the quest for a thermal" equivalence between stone and flesh to the transformation of the biomedical body into a living monument."

Abstract

Le théâtre d’Argentomagus n’est certainement pas l’un des plus grands de Gaule romaine ni l’un des plus richement décorés. Mais il est, en France, le seul qui ait été fouillé de manière exhaustive, puis restauré, avant d’être aujourd’hui publié. Sa longue histoire, jalonnée de fréquentes transformations, depuis le modeste édifice aux gradins de bois du milieu du Ier siècle, jusqu’à sa reconstruction dans les années 180, puis sa mort sous les coups portés par les démolisseurs de la fin de l’Antiquité, en font l’un des meilleurs représentants des théâtres de type gallo-romain. Cet édifice offre un témoignage particulièrement suggestif sur l’inventivité des architectes, les efforts des notables pour romaniser leur cadre de vie et le goût des populations locales pour les jeux de la scène. Although not one of the largest theatres from the Gallo-Roman period, nor one of the most richly decorated, the theatre at Argentomagus is the only one in France to have been thoroughly excavated, restored and now published Its long history has been marked by frequent building alterations which have made it one of the finest examples of the Gallo-Roman theatre type, the original modest wooden-tiered structure, built in the mid first-century, was reconstructed in circa 180 A.D., only to he demolished at the end of the Roman period. In a particularly evocative manner, this edifice bears witness to the inventiveness of its architects, to the efforts of prominent citizens to Romanise their surroundings and to the local population’s taste for stage performances.
