Associant l'analyse du discours esthétique des auteurs comme Müller, Bond et Barker à l'étude dramaturgique de leurs réécritures respectives de Shakespeare, cette étude a pour but de s'interroger sur l'émergence d'une nouvelle forme dramatique – la dystopie théâtrale. En faisant appel à l'instrumentalisation esthétique (et politique) de la catastrophe, à la fois shakespearienne et historique, les dramaturges s'empressent à écrire des pièces qui partagent presque la même vision sur l'avenir du monde et de l'homme.L'apocalypse du roi Lear et la vision cauchemardesque qu'Hamlet porte sur le monde sont greffées, par les dramaturges, sur des tissus dramatiques étayés déjà sur les traces des barbaries du XXe et XXIe siècles. A partir de la matrice dystopique Fin de partie de Samuel Beckett jusqu'à la plus récente Brutopie de Howard Barker, les " dystopies théâtrales " s'opposent, à première vue, à toute fonction utopique.Néanmoins, le ton apocalyptique (au sens derridien du terme) qui les caractérise, cache des fonctions esthétiques qui questionnent à nouveau la catharsis et la nature même du théâtre. En analysant ces fonctions, il est question de démontrer que ces formes dramatiques peuvent être vues aussi comme des dramaturgies censées provoquer l'éveil des consciences et ressusciter ainsi la pulsion utopique que l'Humanité semble avoir perdue.Ce processus paradoxal s'opère par le recours à une " catharsis inversée ", dans le sens d'une surcharge intellective et d'une rétention émotionnelle qui touchent souvent le paroxysme. Quel lien entre l'Utopie et la "dystopie théâtrale" ?

"Given the current moment--polarized populations, increasing climate fears, and decline of supranational institutions in favor of a rising tide of nationalisms-- it is easy to understand the proliferation of apocalyptic and dystopian elements in popular culture. Infected Empires examines one of the most popular figures in contemporary apocalyptic film: the zombie. This harbinger of apocalypse reveals bloody truths about the human condition, the wounds of history, and methods of contending with them. Infected Empires considers parallels in the zombie genre to historical and current events on different political, theological and philosophical levels, and proposes that the zombie can be read as a figure of decolonization and an allegory of resistance to oppressive structures that racialize, marginalize, disable, and dispose of bodies. Studying films from around the world, including Latin America, Asia, Africa, the US, and Europe, Infected Empires presents a vision of a global zombie that points toward a posthuman and feminist future"--

Il volume offre uno sguardo sulla raffigurazione degli spazi estremi nella letteratura in lingua inglese. Nel mondo anglofono, soprattutto in relazione alla sua storia coloniale e postcoloniale, i luoghi «alla fine del mondo» permettono di definire e di ridefinire i rapporti fra il sé e l’altro, fra il centro e le periferie. Gli «estremi confini» fanno leva sul ventaglio delle possibilità offerte dal remoto, dallo sconosciuto, dal diverso; i luoghi «dove tutto può accadere», su cui si sono proiettate fantasie utopiche e inquietudini distopiche, costituiscono un motore narrativo dalle caratteristiche sorprendenti, che viaggia lungo i binari sia del realismo che del fantastico. Saggi di: Elisa Bolchi, Nicoletta Brazzelli, Luigi Cazzato, Lucio De Capitani, Francesca Guidotti, Angelo Monaco, Francesca Montesperelli, Elena Ogliari, Eleonora Sasso.
