Rachel, the circulation of the image, and the death of tragedy
Get PDFtextAlthough it is frequently suggested that the idea of celebrity, as opposed to fame, is a construct of twentieth-century popular culture, many of the originating mechanisms and characteristics of modern celebrity have their roots in the more distant past. In France, the Industrial Revolution and the resulting mechanization of the media in the early to mid-nineteenth century fostered the processes of publicity. The invention of photography, the explosion in circulation of newspapers, and the emergence of cultural criticism gave rise to a new sense of both the importance and the relatability of people in the public eye.
Elisa Rachel Félix (1821-1858), known professionally as “Rachel,” was the undisputed star of the French state theater, the Comédie-Française, from 1838 until shortly before her death. She was in many ways the first exemplar of the tropes of celebrity in French popular culture. Not only was she greatly admired for her talent in performance, especially in the classical tragic repertoire of the Golden Age of French playwriting, but she was also a pioneer in what Tom Mole has called “the hermeneutic of intimacy,” the perception on the part of the public that the accessibility of images of the performer creates a sense of connection and sympathy between artist and audience.
This dissertation will explore the varieties of media through which Rachel’s career and life were publicized and the competing currents of her celebrity identity: the extent to which the star was understood as an exceptional woman versus her identification with her public. Depictions of Rachel in traditional arts, such as sculpture and painting, competed with her portrayal in such modern media as photographs, newspaper columns and caricatures, either enhancing her closeness to her fans or emphasizing her fundamental difference.
The image of celebrity which Rachel helped to create endured after her premature death and contributed mightily to a foundational shift in the emphasis of media culture in France. Coinciding as it did with the heyday of Romanticism and the rise of realism in the arts, the cult of celebrity contributed strongly to the death of the tragic genre.French and Italia

Episode 27: Rachel
No full textWelcome to a brand new semester! To kick things off, we sat down with senior Psychology & Public Health double major, Rachel Katcoff. Rachel describes how she felt alienated when she transitioned from a small, close-knit group of friends and family to a big school like UMass. She took charge to change things when she came back to campus her junior year, finding an awesome community of support and involvement opportunities she cares about by stepping out of her comfort zone and trying new things. Rachel is rounding out her senior year by serving as an RA in her old freshman dorm to make sure other students are supported. Thanks, Rachel

Memorial de Maria Moura em dupla poética de olhar: do romance de Rachel de Queiroz à minissérie de televisão
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.O referido estudo tem como objeto uma manifestação particular de intertextualidade que se faz pela transposição de um sistema de linguagem característico da expressão literária, um romance, para outro característico da expressão televisual, uma minissérie de televisão. Assim, o corpus da pesquisa e das leituras procedidas configura duas matérias de substancial diferença: uma é produto de uma arte que se utiliza da palavra, e a outra, de imagens e sons. Para perfazer esse corpus, a dissertação em foco procede a um duplo olhar sobre a narrativa de Memorial de Maria Moura, o romance e sua adaptação para a televisão, revestindo de três faces o objeto de estudo: o texto original, de Rachel de Queiroz; o roteiro de adaptação, de Jorge Furtado e Carlos Gerbase; e a produção televisual, da Rede Globo de Televisão, em recorte da performance da personagem Maria Moura. Configura-se dessa forma uma dupla vertente de leitura que aborda, primeiro, o processo de adaptação do romance ao roteiro e, depois, o recorte da construção da personagem no romance e na minissérie. Como etapas da tarefa de cumprir esse objetivo geral, o estudo assume na qualidade de objetivos complementares a leitura do romance e sua contextualização, em relação aos demais romances da escritora, e à historiografia e à crítica literárias brasileiras; leitura do roteiro de adaptação; fundamentação teórica da adaptação referida e contextualização da teleficção na televisão brasileira; e as leituras da construção da personagem Maria Moura, no romance, e da performance, na televisão, de acordo com a versão apresentada pela emissora em 94. Entre os resultados obtidos a partir da pesquisa e das leituras realizadas, a referida dissertação considera que a transposição de linguagem do romance à minissérie justifica a rubrica adaptação, ainda que estabeleça ora aproximações, ora distanciamentos entre as duas obras, os quais são objeto de leitura conclusiva
