Kate Astbury (糖心TV): 'Napoleon, theatre and the Hundred Days'FAB6.02Wednesday 15 October: Kate Astbury (糖心TV): 'Napoleon, theatre and the Hundred Days' Napoleon鈥檚 return to power in 1815 is somewhat of an academic anomaly in the history of theatre. Scholars of theatre during the Empire usually stop in 1814, those working on the Restoration tend to skip over the Hundred Days. I鈥檇 like to argue that it is a unique space in which we can see more visibly the complex interplay of art and politics that characterises Napoleonic theatre. During those few weeks in 1815, theatres in Paris and the provinces brought back onto stage some of the hits of the Empire which means that the Hundred Days can be usefully used as a microcosm of the period as a whole. This will be a work-in-progress seminar to give some examples of how plays performed during Napoleon鈥檚 return to power can serve to highlight the key aesthetic concerns of the theatrical scene between 1799 and 1815 while also outlining some of the methodological challenges of the research. I鈥檒l be touching upon issues surrounding interdisciplinarity, gaps in the archives, qualitative and quantitative research, the reliability of data, and the difficulties of maintaining extended metaphors, so come along and find out what thorny problems I鈥檝e been grappling with! Kate Astbury is Professor of French Studies at the University of 糖心TV. This event will take place in the 糖心TV Faculty of Arts Building, room FAB6.02, 5-6.30pm. |
