We are mock'd with art: theatricalizing devices in performances of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2011This dissertation discusses the use of theatricalizing devices in four stage productions of William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. The selected performances were staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company (England, 1992), Théâtre de la Complicité (England, 1992), Folger Theatre (United States, 2009), and Companhia Atores de Laura (Brazil, 2004-2005). The discussion is structured following the notion of "performance text", proposed by Marco de Marinis (1993), which testifies to the importance of analyzing a performance in terms of its stage elements and also its contextual circumstances. Hence, the notion of "theatricalizing devices" is proposed in the present study as a tool to look at those devices employed on stage that can, simultaneously, comment on the theatrical medium and its conventions and help a production address themes and concerns related to the world outside the theater building. Additionally, the referred devices have to do with further fictionalizing the already fictional stage reality, without losing sight of the fact that those making and attending any given performance are inserted in an outside context.A presente tese discute o uso de recursos teatricalizantes em quatro produções teatrais de O Conto do Inverno, de William Shakespeare. As performances selecionadas foram produzidas pela Royal Shakespeare Company (Inglaterra, 1992), Théâtre de la Complicité (Inglaterra, 1992), Folger Theatre (Estados Unidos, 2009), e Companhia Atores de Laura (Brasil, 2004-2005). A discussão está estruturada seguindo a noção de "texto espetacular" proposta por Marco de Marinis (1993), a qual testemunha a favor da importância de se analisar uma performance em termos de seus elementos de palco e também de suas circunstâncias contextuais. Dessa forma, a noção de "recursos teatricalizantes" é proposta na presente tese como ferramenta para olhar aqueles recursos empregados no palco que podem, simultaneamente, comentar o meio teatral e suas convenções e ajudar uma produção a tratar temas e preocupações relacionados ao mundo existente para além do auditório do teatro. Além disso, os referidos recursos associam-se com ficcionalizar mais profundamente a realidade já fictícia do palco teatral, sem perder de vista o fato que os indivíduos que realizam e assistem a qualquer performance estão inseridos em um contexto exterior
SHAKESPEARE'S STAGE IN AMERICA: THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE FOLGER ELIZABETHAN THEATRE
No full textThe Folger Shakespeare Library, a private research institution located in Washington, D.C., was founded by Henry and Emily Folger in 1932. The Folgers intended their memorial to William Shakespeare, a complex that includes a library, an exhibition hall and an Elizabethan-styled theatre, to promote research and the communication of that research to the citizenry. This study suggests the Folgers, influenced by the Elizabethan Revival movement, envisioned the Folger Elizabethan Theatre to be utilized as an important tool to extend the research function of the institution, a laboratory, of sorts, to further the type of performance research that William Poel, Nugent Monk, Harley Granville Barker, B. Iden Payne, and Ben Greet conducted in early modern production practices. Interestingly, however, performance research was not included as one of the Library's activities at its founding.
The author identifies and examines a number of myths of origin about Henry and Emily Folger, the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Folger Elizabethan Theatre, suggesting their promotion by Library officials and others has helped to obscure the Founders' original intent for the Folger Elizabethan Theatre. Drawing on archival research this study attempts to re-contextualize the early history of the Folger Elizabethan Theatre with that of the Folger Shakespeare Library

To be virtual or not to be: An evaluation of the Seven Ages of Man interactive multimedia exhibit at the Folger Shakespeare Library
No full textIn January of 1999, the Folger Shakespeare Library opened a new virtual exhibit titled the Seven Ages of Man to highlight some of the Folger's many "treasures." This study sought to determine the worth and success of this virtual exhibit as an extension of public access for the predominantly restricted Folger collection. The author judged the Seven Ages of Man through three instruments: interviews, questionnaires and unobtrusive observations of visitors to the gallery. While each instrument showed areas in which this virtual endeavor could be improved, overall they indicated a strong synchronization between the institution's desired results and visitor perceptions. The author is recommending careful expansion of the exhibit into media to be accessed outside of the institution, such as a World Wide Web site. Automated means of evaluation will also be recommended to monitor the future success of this and any additional virtual exhibits of the Folger Shakespeare Library.</p

Seeking Margaret Baker: Identifying the Author of Three Manuscript Receipt Books
No full textThis paper uses recipe contributors named in three early modern manuscript receipt books (Sloane MS 2485, Sloane MS 2486 and Folger V.a 619) to identify the author as Margaret Baker, daughter of Richard Baker the Chronicler (c.1568-1645) and Margaret Mainwaring (died c.1652). A familial connection is also made to Wellcome MS 212. The Margaret Baker example is used to argue for the necessity of identifying a broader range of receipt, or recipe, book writers in order to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of recipe book production, and their social context. In the case of Margaret Baker, additional information about her family background, marital status and age at the time of writing the books both shed light on the recipes included in the book, and raise new questions about her culinary and medical practices
