Theatre and Translation, Margherita Laera (2020)
Review of: Theatre and Translation , Margherita Laera (2020) London: Macmillan International, 92 pp., ISBN 978-1-13761-161-1, p/bk, £7.99
Introduction
This introduction to the special issue opens up a dialogue between Theatre and Performance Studies and translation sociology, focusing simultaneously on the importance of developing performance-sensitive forms of knowledge and highlighting performance cultures as fruitful contexts for studying translation as a social practice and the multiple forms of agency shaping it. In particular, it challenges the “ideology of print” as the prevalent epistem…
Performing Ot(h)ello
This article retraces Giuseppe Verdi's Otello (1887) to the great Italian mattatori (star actors), particularly Tommaso Salvini (1829–1915), whose ground-breaking performances of the Moor of Venice, in a translation by Giulio Carcano, coincided with the time when Verdi and his librettist, Arrigo Boito, were collaborating on their Otello . The grandi attori enjoyed a reputation for realistic immediacy and impulsiveness readily associated with cult…
Aleramo’s Una donna via Ibsen’s A Doll’s House
This article provides a detailed comparison of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House (1879) and Sibilla Aleramo's novel Una donna (1906), focussing specifically on the similar endings of both works where the respective protagonist walks out on her family. It begins by examining the various contexts and collaborative networks that enabled the theatre of Ibsen to travel into late nineteenth-century Italy, namely Luigi Capuana's translation of the play, Cas…
Eleonora Duse in Cavalleria rusticana
In the context of transnational cultural practices and expectations, this article sheds new light on the vicissitudes of the critical reception of Duse’s interpretation of Santuzza in London through a close examination of newspaper reviews and critical accounts from 1893 to 1905. By taking the reviews in chronological order, the assessment is able to reveal the evolution of the critics’ engagement with and interpretation of Duse’s acting style. I…
Verga and Duse
This article offers a thorough examination of the central hypothesis that Verga’s In portineria (1885), based on the short story ‘Il canarino del n. 15’ (1883), anticipates the French Symbolist theatre of silence. Through a textual analysis of the way in which Verga transposes the unspoken in the passage from page to stage, the article illustrates how In portineria can be considered a ‘pre-intimist’ work — the antithesis of his first play, Cavall…
