Forschungsprojekt

Watching the Human Comedy: Individual and Collective Aspects of Theatregoing and Self-Writing (from 1750 to present).

Zusammenfassung

Drawing on a heterogeneous corpus of fictional and non-fictional sources, my book project investigates into the history of two social and cultural practices that flourished in France since mid-18th century, i.e. theatregoing and self-writing. By way of scrutinising these frames of creativity and reconstructing links between them, the project pursues two objectives: 1) to investigate into individual aspects and perceptions of a paragon of repetitive public event in the urban environment, which theatre was before the rise of mass culture in the late 19th century; 2) to explore different ways of appropriating the same event observable in private accounts of it (letters and diaries) authored by theatregoers simultaneously present in the playhouse. This approach will thus enable both an empirical reconstruction of frames of experience and a new theorisation of it, focusing on individuals while studying a collective experience, and explore communities and scenarios of their building scrutinising an individual practice. Reaching across different time periods and their historiographies, the project offers a transdisciplinary perspective on relations between discourses, practices, and individuals in urban settings.
