Chung","doi":"10.7202/1062384AR","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7202/1062384AR","url":null,"abstract":"This essay uses theories of narrative to examine how Susan Glaspell's Trifles and Sharon Pollock's Blood Relations reflect and resist the ability of narratives to construct identities, create moral meanings, and impose truths. It also explores the dramatisation of experiential knowledge as a means of building communities. Blood Relations ' meta-theatrical self-consciousness, resistance to moral meaning through a refusal of narrative closure, and ambivalence towards the representative nature of personal experiences, in contrast to Trifles ' naturalism, narrative conclusion, and confidence in the assumption of shared women's experiences reflect changes in feminisms, theoretical understandings of experiential knowledge, and strategies for the stage representation of women. \u0000 L'essai fait appel aux theories de la narration pour examiner comment Trifles (Susan Glaspell) et Blood Relations (Sharon Pollock) correspondent aux capacites de la narration et y resistent a la fois en vue de construire des identites, creer des sens moraux et imposer des verites. Il examine egalement la dramatisation de la connaissance experientielle comme moyen de construction des communautes. La conscience de soi meta theâtrale faisant partie de Blood Relations , la resistance a la signification morale par le refus d'une fermeture sur le plan narratif et l'ambivalence a l'egard de l'aspect representatif des experiences personnelles contrastent avec le naturalisme que propose Trifles , sa conclusion narrative et la confiance en la supposition voulant que les experiences partagees par les femmes correspondent aux changements du feminisme, aux comprehensions theoriques de la connaissance experientielle et aux strategies de representation sur scene de la femme.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84993730","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}

Where Merrill Denison, an often progressive writer of contemporary stage plays, chooses to celebrate the conventional values of male pioneer adventure, empire-building, war and military glory within the context of his seminal historical radio series, The Romance of Canada (1931), Gowan's Building represents a more complex attempt to reconcile her vision as a trained historian, concerned with the objective chronicling and analysis of the male-dominated world of wars, economy, politics and public life, with her vision as a social activist playwright committed to interpreting the human world through the focus of her socialistic, pacifistic and feminist convictions. \u0000 Building of Canada de Gowan (1937-38): Laissons de cote son importance historique en tant qu'une des premieres series historiques venant des prairies a paraitre a la radio nationale et en tant que l'oeuvre definitive qui a declenche la carriere de Gowan comme ecrivaine pour la radio.

{"title":"Dialogic Monologue: A Dialogue","authors":"Jen Harvie, R. Knowles","doi":"10.7202/1062404AR","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7202/1062404AR","url":null,"abstract":"Michael Sidnell has drawn attention to the potential for dramatic monologue to be dialogic in ways that dialogue in the theatre rarely is, and he has pointed to a recent proliferation of dialogic monologue in Canadian theatre. This essay will examine the potentially dialogic function of monologue in some contemporary Canadian plays. Questions central to this examination will be: when is monologue dialogic, and what are the effects of dialogic monologue? Considering that the actor often stands indexicallyfor an autonomous subject which is easily conflated with the character the actor is playing, we are interested in looking at how the dialogism of the character's monologue might destabilize subjectivity. Looking at monologues from a range of contemporary Canadian scripts and performances, we will consider how the dialogic configuration of subjectivity affects gender, race, and sexuality. And considering that dialogism may be (as Helene Keyssar has argued it was for Bakhtin) \"key to the deprivileging of absolute, authoritarian discourses,\" we are interested in what specific \"authoritarian discourses\" contemporary Canadian dialogic monologue deprivileges. Michael Sidnell a attire notre attention sur le fait que le monologue dramatique au theâtre peut etre dialogique d'une maniere tres differente du dialogue, et il a note que le monologue dialogique est desormais tres frequent dans le theâtre canadien. Notre essai analyse la fonction potentiellement dialogique du monologue dans quelques pieces canadiennes contemporaines et il s'articule autour des questions suivantes: quand le monologue est-il dialogique, et quels en sont les effets. Considerant le fait que l'acteur est lui-meme souvent le signe d'un sujet autonome pouvant etre assimile-identifie facilement au personnage qu'il joue, nous nous attacherons a observer comment le dialogisme du monologue du personnage peut destabiliser la subjectivite. En analysant des monologues extraits de plusieurs pieces et spectacles canadiens contemporains, nous essayerons de comprendre comment la configuration dialogique de la subjectivite influence la representation des genres, des races et de la sexualite. Enfin, et considerant que le dialogisme (selon Helen Keyssar, Bakhtin serait d'accord avec cette theorie) depouille de leurs privileges les discours absolus et autoritaires, nous nous interesserons particulierement aux discours autoritaires que deprivilegie le monologue dialogique canadien contemporain.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87113183","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}

Burton Deane, a Mounted Police officer, was instrumental in the development of theatre in the Prairie West between 1883 and 1901. His interest in theatre had been an outgrowth of his performance of magic tricks. As an adjutant for the Royal Marines in England he had been placed in charge of a theatre and in that capacity he gained considerable experience in producing, directing and acting. The pioneer communities of Regina and Lethbridge received the benefit of Deane's expertise. His productions supported local charities, improved relations between the Mounties and the local elite, raised crucial issues of social relevance, albeit in a lighthearted manner, and provided theatrical performances of good quality for the newly-established centres. R. Burton Deane, officier de la Mounted Police, exerca une grande influence sur le developpement du theâtre dans les Prairies de l'Ouest entre 1883 et 1901. L'interet qu'il eprouva pour le theâtre vint de son execution de seances de prestidigitation. Quand il etait capitaine adjutant major des Royal Marines en Angleterre on lui avait confie un theâtre ou il gagna de l'expertise a produire et a mettre en scene des pieces et a y jouer. Les communautes pionnieres de Regina et de Lethbridge profiterent de l'expertise de Deane.
