Abstract

In chapter 5, “Gallantry and Soft Power,” Markovits examines the use of gallant theater by diplomats and military leaders in the promotion of nonmilitaristic cultural influence. Geneva, Brussels, and Hanover serve as case studies where “the construction of . . . individual identities was closely linked to a collective French identity characterized by gallantry” (163). Chapter 6, “A Theater in Geneva?,” traces the evolution of the understanding of theater as an “instrument of acculturation” in the context of Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s political warfare over the future of theatrical performance in the city (188). The final two chapters (“Exporting Revolution?” and “Theater and Acculturation in the Annexed Departments”) consider the function of acculturation during the revolutionary and imperial periods during which French theater in Europe became largely associated with French political control.

在第5章“英勇与软实力”中，Markovits研究了外交官和军事领导人在促进非军事文化影响力方面使用英勇的戏剧。日内瓦、布鲁塞尔和汉诺威作为案例研究，“个人身份的构建与以英勇为特征的法国集体身份密切相关”（163）。第6章“日内瓦的剧院？”追溯了在伏尔泰和让-雅克·卢梭关于该市戏剧表演未来的政治斗争背景下，剧院作为“文化适应工具”的理解的演变（188）。最后两章（“输出革命？”和“附属部门的戏剧和文化适应”）考虑了革命和帝国时期文化适应的功能，在这两个时期，欧洲的法国戏剧在很大程度上与法国的政治控制联系在一起。
