Abstract

"Toward a General Theory of Acting explores the actors art through the lens of Dynamic Systems Theory and recent findings in the Cognitive Sciences. An analysis of different theories of acting in the West from Stanislavski to Lecoq is followed by an in depth discussion of technique, improvisation, and creating a score. In the final chapter, the focus shifts to how these three are interwoven when the actor steps in front of an audience, whether performing realist, non-realist, or postdramatic theatre. Far from using the sciences to reduce acting to a formula, Lutterbie celebrates the mystery of the creative process"--

Abstract

"Shakespeare's company coped with an enormous mnemonic load, performing up to six different plays a week. How did they do it? Cognition in the Globe addresses this question through the lens of distributed cognition. This is a dynamic model that attends to the art of 'playing' at a range of levels. These include the material conditions of playing space; artifacts such as parts, plots, and playbooks; the social structures of the companies, including methods of training and coordination; internal cognitive mechanisms such as attention, perception, and memory; and actor-audience dynamics, among many others. This is the first book to offer such an approach to theatrical history and performance studies"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

One of therapy's greatest challenges is the moment of transference, when a patient unconsciously transfers emotion or desire to a new and present object—in some cases the therapist. During the course of treatment, a patient's projections and the analyst's struggle to divert them can stress, distort, or contaminate the therapeutic relationship. It may lead to various forms of enactment, in which the therapist unconsciously colludes with the client in interpretation and treatment, or it can lead to projective identification, in which the client imposes negative feelings and behaviors onto the therapist, further interfering with analysis and intervention.Drawing on decades of clinical case experience, Robert Waska leads practitioners through the steps of phantasy and transference mechanisms and their ability to increase, oppose, embrace, or neutralize analytic contact. Operating from a psychoanalytic perspective, he explains how to cope professionally with moments of transference and maintain an objective interpretive stance within the ongoing matrix of projective identification, countertransference, and enactment. Each chapter discusses a wide spectrum of cases and clinical situations, describing in detail the processes that invite a playing out of the patient's phantasies and the work required to reestablish balance. Refreshingly candid, Waska recognizes the imperfections of analysis yet reaffirms its potential for greater psychological integration and stability for the patient. He acknowledges the limits and frequent roadblocks of working with difficult patients, such as those who suffer from psychic retreat, paranoid phantasies, and depressive anxieties, yet he indicates an effective path for resetting the clinical moment and redirecting the course for treatment.

Abstract

S’il ne fallait lire qu’un seul livre sur le théâtre, ce serait celui-ci ! Ouvrage à la fois d’analyse et de synthèse sur les questions dramatiques les plus débattues du Grand Siècle, La Pratique du Théâtre de l’abbé d’Aubignac transcende les réflexions propres à son époque pour interroger la spécificité de toute création dramatique. Surgissent ainsi les problèmes concrets et pratiques que posent une scène trop étroite, un comédien mal entraîné ou un public dissipé. Apparaissent les contraintes transhistoriques de toute écriture mimétique qui doit compenser, par le recours au nécessaire, ce que le narrateur ne peut nous dire. Se posent enfin les questions inhérentes à la représentation, et au surgissement de la fiction à partir d’un spectacle et à partir d’un texte. Cette surprenante modernité découle d’une attitude résolument rationaliste : La Pratique renouvelle la tradition des « poétiques », enfermées dans l’exégèse aristotélicienne, pour promouvoir une entreprise concrète où l’abstraction du traité se combine à une somme d’observations faites par un individu singulier. La présente édition, la première depuis plus des soixante-dix ans, propose pour la première fois l’élucidation et la traduction de toutes les mentions marginales, permettant ainsi une étude précise de ces lieux de mémoire que sont l’Antiquité et la Renaissance italienne au coeur du XVIIe siècle français. Une analyse critique tente enfin, en des Observations, de rendre à ce magnifique texte, trop souvent qualifié de doctrinaire, toute sa finesse et sa profondeur.
