Abstract

The present book features some introductory discussions on martial arts for the international audience and highlights in brief the complexities of translating the genre into English, often from a comparative literature perspective. Martial arts, also known as Kungfu or Wushu, refer to different families of Chinese fighting styles over many centuries. Martial arts fiction, or Wuxia literature, is a unique genre that depicts adventures of martial artists in ancient China. Understanding martial arts and the Chinese culture and philosophy behind them creates an intriguing experience, particularly, for non-Chinese readers; translating the literature into English poses unparalleled challenges for translators not only because of the culture embedded in it but also the fascinating martial arts moves and captivating names of many characters therein.

Abstract

This study explores the reflexive aspects of ancient theatrical culture across genres. The 'syntax' of drama is shown to involve specific 'figures of play' through which the theatrical medium turns back on itself to study the contexts of its production.

Abstract

"Inverser la perspective et regarder les spectateurs : tel est le point de vue adopté pour interroger comment les Grecs et les Romains de l’Antiquité, si férus de spectacles de toute nature, théâtrale, sportive, religieuse, politique, ont été eux-mêmes spectaculaires. Comment dans les gradins du théâtre, du cirque ou de l’amphithéâtre, au passage d’une procession ou dans l’auditoire d’un sermon chrétien, manifestaient-ils leur présence, leur adhésion ou leur contestation ? Dans quelle mesure ces manifestations étaient-elles attendues, codifiées ou redoutées par les organisateurs ? En prêtant ou en refusant leur attention, visuelle et polysensorielle, à une performance, tous avaient une part active dans son succès. Pour retrouver les corps, les émotions, les passions de ces spectateurs disparus, le livre parcourt des textes, des images, les traces matérielles qu’ils ont laissées, depuis la Grèce archaïque jusque dans l’Antiquité tardive."--
