| Zusammenfassung: | For most of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, classical dogma and royal censorship worked together to prevent French plays from commenting on, or even worse, reenacting current political and judicial affairs. Criminal trials, meanwhile, were designed to be as untheatrical as possible, excluding from the courtroom live debates, trained orators, and spectators. According to Yann Robert, circumstances changed between 1750 and 1800 as parallel evolutions in theater and justice brought them closer together, causing lasting transformations in both.Robert contends that the gradual merging of theatrical and legal modes in eighteenth-century France has been largely overlooked because it challenges two widely accepted narratives: first, that French theater drifted toward entertainment and illusionism during this period and, second, that the French justice system abandoned any performative foundation it previously had in favor of a textual one. In Dramatic Justice, he demonstrates that the inverse of each was true. Robert traces the rise of a "judicial theater" in which plays denounced criminals by name, even forcing them, in some cases, to perform their transgressions anew before a jeering public. Likewise, he shows how legal reformers intentionally modeled trial proceedings on dramatic representations and went so far as to recommend that judges mimic the sentimental judgment of spectators and that lawyers seek private lessons from actors. This conflation of theatrical and legal performances provoked debates and anxieties in the eighteenth century that, according to Robert, continue to resonate with present concerns over lawsuit culture and judicial entertainment.Dramatic Justice offers an alternate history of French theater and judicial practice, one that advances new explanations for several pivotal moments in the French Revolution, including the trial of Louis XVI and the Terror, by showing the extent to which they were shaped by the period's conflicted relationship to theatrical justice |

| spelling | Robert, Yann Verfasser (DE-588)1171544855 aut Dramatic justice trial by theater in the age of the French Revolution Yann Robert Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania Press [2019] © 2019 1 Online-Ressource (viii, 331 Seiten) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier For most of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, classical dogma and royal censorship worked together to prevent French plays from commenting on, or even worse, reenacting current political and judicial affairs. Criminal trials, meanwhile, were designed to be as untheatrical as possible, excluding from the courtroom live debates, trained orators, and spectators. According to Yann Robert, circumstances changed between 1750 and 1800 as parallel evolutions in theater and justice brought them closer together, causing lasting transformations in both.Robert contends that the gradual merging of theatrical and legal modes in eighteenth-century France has been largely overlooked because it challenges two widely accepted narratives: first, that French theater drifted toward entertainment and illusionism during this period and, second, that the French justice system abandoned any performative foundation it previously had in favor of a textual one. In Dramatic Justice, he demonstrates that the inverse of each was true. Robert traces the rise of a "judicial theater" in which plays denounced criminals by name, even forcing them, in some cases, to perform their transgressions anew before a jeering public. Likewise, he shows how legal reformers intentionally modeled trial proceedings on dramatic representations and went so far as to recommend that judges mimic the sentimental judgment of spectators and that lawyers seek private lessons from actors. This conflation of theatrical and legal performances provoked debates and anxieties in the eighteenth century that, according to Robert, continue to resonate with present concerns over lawsuit culture and judicial entertainment.Dramatic Justice offers an alternate history of French theater and judicial practice, one that advances new explanations for several pivotal moments in the French Revolution, including the trial of Louis XVI and the Terror, by showing the extent to which they were shaped by the period's conflicted relationship to theatrical justice Geschichte 1750-1800 gnd rswk-swf Cultural Studies Literature Justice, Administration of France History 18th century Theater Political aspects France History 18th century Französische Revolution Motiv (DE-588)4155216-7 gnd rswk-swf Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 gnd rswk-swf Recht Motiv (DE-588)4121561-8 gnd rswk-swf Politisches Theater (DE-588)4046587-1 gnd rswk-swf Französisch (DE-588)4113615-9 gnd rswk-swf Französisch (DE-588)4113615-9 s Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 s Politisches Theater (DE-588)4046587-1 s Französische Revolution Motiv (DE-588)4155216-7 s Recht Motiv (DE-588)4121561-8 s Geschichte 1750-1800 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-8122-5075-6 https://doi.org/10.9783/9780812295658 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
