Perhaps it was performed at Wroclaw’s city church St Mary Magdalene. In its first part, the plot clearly follows the hymn Laus tibi Christe, which is a troparium of Mary Magdalene. The hymn also explains the connection between the two scenes: Mary’s healing signals Christ’s triumph over death and sin, and the transubstantiation of bread and wine embodies the triumph. Simon and Judas represent heresy and lack of faith. They cannot be saved by the blood and body of Christ, and the Christian convivium is prepared to fight comparable heretics.","PeriodicalId":39581,"journal":{"name":"European Medieval Drama","volume":"21 1","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66678660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In it I suggest that some of the ways in which Armstrong conceptualises the processes by which lyric poetry was explored and produced at Blois may be fruitfully brought to bear on thinking about the epistemological implications and consequences of ‘making’ theatre (in the sense of composing and performing it) within this medieval women’s religious house.","PeriodicalId":39581,"journal":{"name":"European Medieval Drama","volume":"21 1","pages":"21-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1484/J.EMD.5.116045","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66678684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The French sections would be an example of the technique of farcitura, in other words they would be translations of a Latin model. In this article, I argue that this interpretation is incorrect. Close textual analysis of the Jeu d’Adam shows that these liturgical chants are not the starting point of the play but were subsequently added to it. The resemblance between the responsories and the French text can be accounted for by the author’s habit of paraphrasing the biblical text.","PeriodicalId":39581,"journal":{"name":"European Medieval Drama","volume":"62 2 1","pages":"123-139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66678838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The actors themselves are essentially strangers to the onlookers and during a performance this separation is exploited as part of experience of theatre, as a contribution to entertainment as well as meaning. By considering the theatrical characteristics of four sixteenth-century interludes we find that the separation can be effective, but it is also apparent that these plays have ways of working across the gap to make use of the intimacy which can be established. Besides consideration of some of the typical features of interludes, there is attention to theatrical conventions, including the role known as the Vice, to the ways of using the performance space, and to comic routines and wordplay. It becomes apparent that the audience can never be allowed to forget that they are watching a play and not real life, and that the distance between actors and audience is a valuable theatrical asset for experiencing these plays.","PeriodicalId":39581,"journal":{"name":"European Medieval Drama","volume":"21 1","pages":"85-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66678736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
