The Emergence of a theatrical science of man in France, 1660-1740 highlights a radical departure from discussions of dramatic literature and its undergirding rules to a new, relational discourse oii the emotional power of theater. Through a diverse cast of religious theaterphobes, government officials, playwrights, art theorists, and protophilosophes, Connors shows the concerted effort in early Enlightenment France to use texts about theater to establish broader theories on emotion, on the enduring psychological and social ramifications of affective moments, and, more generally, on human interaction, motivation, and social behavior. This fundamentally anthropological assessment of theater emerged in the tvorks of anti-theatrical religious w riters, who argued that emotional response was theater’s raison d être and that it was an efficient venue to learn more about the depravity of human nature. A new generation of pro-theatrical writers shared the antitheatricalists’ intense focus on the emotions of theater, but, unlike religious theaterphobes, they did not view emotion as a conduit of sin or as a dangerous, uncontrollable process, seeing it rather as cognitive-affective moments of feeling and learning. Connors’s study explores this reassessment of the theatrical experience which empowered writers to use plays, critiques, and other cultural materials about the stage to establish a theatrical science of man— -an early Enlightenment project with aims to stuck· and “improve” the emotional, social, and political “health” of eighteenth-century France. Logan J, Connors is
Associate Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Miami. His next research project investigates the connections between theater and the military in France and its colonies from 1680 to 1815.
