Abstract

Abstract:This review essay discusses recent research on sovereignty and the performing arts from both historical and theoretical perspectives. I argue that Elden, Ospovat, Welch, and Wolff approach early modern symbolic communication not simply as culture but also as political acts. During the turbulent transition from Absolutism to Enlightenment, performances at the court played a crucial role in negotiating the complex relationship between the sovereign and the subjects. The development of professional ballet, opera, and theater took place amid the decline of sovereignty and the separation between politics and morality.

暴君与殉道者：近期主权与戏剧研究

摘要:本文从历史和理论两个角度对主权与表演艺术的最新研究进行了综述。我认为，埃尔登、奥斯波瓦特、韦尔奇和沃尔夫不仅将早期现代符号传播视为文化，还将其视为政治行为。在从专制主义到启蒙运动的动荡过渡中，宫廷表演在处理君主与臣民之间的复杂关系方面发挥了至关重要的作用。专业芭蕾舞、歌剧、戏剧的发展是在主权衰落、政治与道德分离的情况下发生的。

期刊介绍： Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture.
