P.; FrenchItem Sounds and Silence in Eugene Inoesco's Rhinoceros and Samuel Beckett's En Attendant Godot([Honolulu] : [University of Hawaii at Manoa], [May 2015], 2015-05) Zdybel, HaleyRoars, hoofbeats and crashes resound in the 1960 play Rhinocéros by Eugène Ionesco, while silence, pause, and rhythmic play pique the ear in the 1953 play En attendant Godot by Samuel Beckett. Using R. Murray Schafer’s conception of “soundscapes,” this analysis discusses each play’s aural atmosphere, such as those of chaos, of uncertainty, and of spectacle. These ‘soundscapes’ are determined by analyzing the place, purpose and position of different sounds within the plays’ scripts, even the sound of silence. The twentieth century played host to new developments in artistic conceptions of sound, as classical music underwent fundamental fractures while becoming integrated with technological advances in sound and music production. In fact, Michel Philippot, the director of sound at the world premiere of Rhinocéros, was a composer of early electronic music, and brought artistry into dramatic sound production. En attendant Godot does not feature sound production besides that of the spoken or silent voice, therefore silence, pause, rhythm, repetitions, dynamic tones, and musical vociferations such as singing and humming are the focus of its analysis. The two plays differ acoustically, yet each uses sound effects in compelling and meaningful ways.Item From the Real to the Surreal: Jacques Noel's Staging of Ionesco's Rhinocero's([Honolulu] : [University of Hawaii at Manoa], [May 2015], 2015-05) Desmoulins, ChloeTheater is not just text; it is a performance. It is literature balanced between the written word and the visual accent. It is alive, rooted from the author's consciousness flourishing on the stage. The project of this thesis is to read Ionesco's Rhinocéros, and simultaneously to study the set designs created by Jacques Noël for the 1960 performance at the Théâtre de l'Odéon. The thesis will aim to bridge the boundaries of image and text by treating images (set designs) and the play as one readable “text” that can create meaning together.Item Identity creation as political subersion in the MEMOIRES of Mademoiselle De Montpensier(2008) Hensley, Donna L.Item The Personal Letters of Heloise and Abelard - Manifestations of Cultural Influences on Patterns of Love, Desire and Gender Inequality(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2002-12) Chen, Hui-tzu Wendy; Garneau, Marie-Christine; Language and Literatures of Europe & the Americas (French)
