Vaudeville et infirmité chez Eugène Labiche
This article seeks to explore Eugène Labiche’s signature crafting of class identity through representations of bodily degradation. His vaudevilles display a host of disabled characters – deaf, lame, mute, one-armed, cross-eyed, one-eyed, blind, etc. – and figures stigmatized by signs of aging, illness or decay, such as baldness, toothlessness, tics, or other afflictions. Labiche’s plays present bodily incompleteness as a stark counterpoint to the…
French Theatre and Victorian England
Theatre historian Jean-Claude Yon defines the omnipresence of French theatre in Europe throughout the nineteenth century as an expression of ‘cultural imperialism’ (Yon 8). This assertion is corroborated by the Francophilia of numerous British members of Parliament such as Frederic Harrison and Edward Spencer Beesly, who were accused of ‘Frenchify[ing] the English institutions’ (Bagehot 52, quoted by Varouxakis 109), as well as by writers such as…
Le singe hors de sa cage: Mazurier-Jocko au théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin
Cet article se propose d'analyser l'interprétation de Charles-François Mazurier du primate protagoniste de la pièce Jocko, ou le singe du Brésil, de Gabriel Lurieu et Edmond Rochefort (1825), au théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin de Paris. À partir des chroniques de l'époque, nous entreprendrons l'étude de la transgression du « quatrième mur » que fit l'acteur par le biais de ses acrobaties : ce dernier agissait tel un singe en liberté, bondissant …
Female Nudity, Interspecies Sexuality and ‘Horseness’ in Laetitia Dosch’s Hate (2018)
The aim of this paper is to analyse Laetitia Dosch's play Hate , first performed in Lausanne in 2018, in light of recent theories on female nudity, interspecies sexuality and non-human animal subjectivity. Featuring a completely naked woman and a white stallion, the show revolves around the possibility of interspecies communication and the need to re-evaluate the meaning of humankind and animality through theatrical performance. I begin by drawin…
Le “singe de Nicolet”: Animalité, féminité et voyeurisme interspécifique dans le théâtre de la foire (1760-1768)
The aim of this article is to analyse the presence of “animaux savants” in the Parisian théâtre de la foire of the second half of the eighteenth century and their interaction with the female audience. Through the examination of chronicles, reviews and other literary output of the time that depicted or referred to the figure of Turco, the celebrated monkey that was displayed by Jean-Baptiste Nicolet in the Théâtre des Grands Danseurs de Corde duri…
« An Ingrained Antipathy »: Traduire et adapter le théâtre français en Angleterre, du pillage à la suprématie culturelle (1843-1886)
L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser la pratique de la traduction et de l’adaptation d’œuvres françaises pour la scène londonienne pendant près d’un demi-siècle de la période victorienne (1843-1886). À partir des témoignages de dramaturges, de critiques, d’acteurs et de chroniques journalistiques, il est possible d’observer comment le recours au matériel étranger est conçu, dans un premier temps, comme un exemple de pillage intellectuel qui a…
“L’Affaire de la rue de Lourcine” dans la culture populaire française (1857-1914)
The aim of this paper is to explore the influence of Labiche’s, Martin’s and Monnier’s L’Affaire de la rue de Lourcine in French popular culture, from its premiere (26 March 1857) to the First World War. In order to refute the systematic appeal to purely aesthetic criteria when stating the literary quality of the play, I first examine the social impregnation of the characters’ most famous words and expressions in contemporary French vocabulary. I…
Génétique textuelle, censure et sous-texte sexuel dans L'Affaire de la rue de Lourcine
‘Je crains la censure’, se plaignait non sans raison Eugène Labiche dans une lettre adressée à son collaborateur et ami, Alphonse Leveaux, le 4 octobre 1852, en référence à la comédie Un ami acharné, qui allait se jouer quelques mois plus tard, le 19 janvier 1853, au Théâtre des Variétés de Paris. ‘J’ai une pièce interdite au vaudeville [...]. Les censeurs forts de leur omnipotence deviennent tyranniques et intolérables’, poursuit Labiche. ‘En Fr…
Animality and Biblical Masculinities in Conflict: Moses and the Golden Calf (Exodus 32)
The purpose of this article is to analyze the masculinity of the biblical figure Moses in relation to the golden calf in Exodus 32. The prophet has been used as a model of biblical masculinity based on criteria such as violence, persuasive ability, his relationship to women, and physical disability. However, no gender construction derived from his interaction with the animal idol has been considered. In the context of the intersection of 'animal …

Jorge Semprún, o la literatura contra la memoria = Jorge Semprún or literature against memory
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el recurso sistemático a la referencia literaria en la obra narrativa de Jorge Semprún, tomando como objeto de estudio L’écriture ou la vie (1994). Lejos de ser una mera ilustración su propio capital cultural, la alusión y cita a otros autores será conceptualizada como una expresión del trauma propio de la experiencia concentracionaria por cuanto evidencia una necesidad de diluir su individualidad en la vo…
Black blokes who spoke like East-Enders: Nation, race and hooliganism in Cass Pennant'sCass
Cass Pennant’s autobiography Cass revolves around his days as one of the top men of West Ham’s ill-reputed InterCity Firm (ICF). As a narrative that spans over 40 years, it intertwines Pennant’s personal account with the rise and fall of hooliganism in Britain during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Pennant was born in East London and fostered by a white, working-class family; his narrative is a detailed introspective description of his progress f…
He had French immorality on the brain »: Adaptation et censure du théâtre français à Londres (1837-1901)
Tout au long du XIX e siècle, les scènes anglaises furent dominées par le théâtre français. La dépendance des auteurs anglais à l’égard du théâtre français, représentée par les centaines de traductions, d’adaptations et de plagiats de pièces françaises, fut considérée traditionnellement par les critiques victoriens comme la raison du déclin du théâtre anglais pendant le XIX e siècle. Il s’agit ici d’analyser la censure exercée par le bureau du Lo…
