French historiographers have given the name la querelle de la moralité du théâtre, or the quarrel over the theatre's morality, to the diverse episodes that called into question the theatre's place in public life in prerevolutionary France.1 This quarrel merits a performance analysis. Whereas theatre scholarship has devoted careful attention to the material features of early modern theatre practice, antitheatrical sentiment's story has largely been told as a progression of ideas.2 In works that remain essential reading, scholars such as Moses Barras, Marc Fumaroli, Jonas Barish, Simone de Reyff, Jean Dubu, Sylviane Léoni, and Laurent Thirouin have examined the rise and development of French arguments against the stage, reconstructing French antitheatrical sentiment's intellectual history from antiquity through the French Revolution.3 As demonstrated by titles such as Dubu's Les Églises chrétiennes et le théâtre [Christian churches and the theatre] and de Reyff's L’Église et le théâtre [the church and the theatre], enough of the period's antitheatrical fervor had religious roots that French theatre polemics are often also conceptualized as a conflict between the church and the theatre.","PeriodicalId":42777,"journal":{"name":"THEATRE SURVEY","volume":"64 1","pages":"117 - 149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42595629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I became enraptured with theatre—its history, influence, and ephemerality —through performance. As a child, I remember watching actors use their bodies to make an idea, quality, or feeling tangible to the audience. By middle school, I decided to try my hand at creating a performance. I convinced four of my younger sisters and niece to form an acting troupe and perform Anton Chekhov’s one-act comedy The Bear (1888) for our neighborhood. As an eleven-year-old selfappointed producer, director, and company member, I quickly learned that I was in over my head. How can I mount a show with a limited budget of five dollars? How can I persuade my sisters to stay involved in the production even though I can’t make good on my promise of paying them? How can I help my four-year-old niece memorize lines when she could not read? After trying to problem-solve, I realized I had no other choice but to cancel the production and disperse what remained of my acting troupe. I share this silly personal anecdote because, in all seriousness, this early experience creating an amateur production served as a foundation for my knowledge of performance (broadly construed) and its opposition. Performance is messy, ephemeral in nature, and relies heavily on the devotion and commitment of artists and spectators to make vision a reality. Whether investigating antitheatrical tracts of the seventeenth century, early Black women musical performers, the reality in materiality of Sherlock Holmes, or Germany’s agitprop amateur theatre movement of the twentieth century, the articles in this issue engage with the complexities of creating or disavowing live performance, encouraging readers to consider the oppositional forces that both hinder and sustain craft. Joy Palacios considers how the embodied activities of seventeenth-century Catholic priests fostered the growth of antitheatrical sentiments alongside the Grand Siècle, or golden age, of French theatre. In “Antitheatrical Prejudice: From Parish Priests to Diocesan Rituals in Early Modern France,” Palacios argues that in addition to writing, the Catholic church utilized what performance and theatre scholars would consider a “performance repertoire” to circulate theological ideas, values, and arguments to the laity. Paradoxically, the use of performance repertoire—including the bodily comportment of priests and the gestures, ceremonies, and sacraments that made up the liturgy—helped situate actors as “public sinners” and theatre as a site of moral decay. Ultimately, Palacios finds that without ceremonial support to bring life into their argument, antitheatrical texts would have remained nothing more than “dead letters.” By exploring the (often overlooked)","PeriodicalId":42777,"journal":{"name":"THEATRE SURVEY","volume":"64 1","pages":"115 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43421525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ndiaye’s emphasis on the racist scripts of early modern transnational performance and Chakravarty’s analysis of fictions of consent in the bonds that oppress represent something fundamental about premodern critical race studies. They reach beyond the conventional paradigms of academic research because those paradigms were designed to protect and obscure the very apparatuses this research seeks to dismantle. In this way, their scholarly contributions exemplify the interventions of the RaceB4Race initiative, which seeks to nurture a “community of scholars, students, researchers, theater practitioners, curators, librarians, artists, and activists who are looking to the past to imagine different, more inclusive futures” [https://acmrs.asu.edu/ RaceB4Race/Sustaining-Building-Innovating].
