Actually, the star can be regarded as an equivalent of a prima donna of the 19th century or a lyrical heroine. Despite its mythical tendencies opera could offer destituent processes able to deconstruct all the narratives explaining Monroe’s death and to make it not a defeat but an irreducible event. Besides opera singing will be considered as the expressive form of the impossible identity. Contemporary productions, Ferrero’s Marilyn and de Raaff’s Waiting for Miss Monroe, as well as Warlikowski’s staging of Janáček’s Věc Makropulos will be here analyzed. mer., 29 nov. 2023 11:59:11 +0100 mar., 29 oct. 2024 10:10:48 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/307 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1337 The contribution proposes to identify in the image Jane Avrìl that of an absolute dance, capable of definitively breaking with the textual and dramatic order that configures dance as a device of glorification of power, of affirmation of the symbolic order of the body. A survivor of catastrophe – of the collapse of the Other – Jane embodies the blindness of a dance exposed to risk, the writing of an absence that dismisses any archetypal totality. Her dance comes to subjectify in an unprecedented way its own de-subjectification, to the point of opposing to any order its own pure and absolute presentation. mar., 25 juin 2024 13:41:04 +0200 mar., 29 oct. 2024 09:46:54 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1337 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/252 This essay, titled Before the literature, outside the death, aims to examine the relation between writing and death in Blanchot’s thought. Through the analysis of Kafka’s novels, tales, diaries and letters, Blanchot gains a peculiar conception of the figure of the writer. Kafka becomes the paradigm of this interpretation, which leads to discover the revolutionary power of literature by redefining both the idea of death and the notion of writing. mer., 29 nov. 2023 10:52:27 +0100 mar., 13 févr. 2024 09:20:52 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/252 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/92 The essay attributes to the figure of Antigone a destituent power capable of sovverting a idea of politics based on death. In this sense, Antigone looks like not only as anti-dialectical figure, but as political figure too; in fact, she is not fighting against the Creon, as Hegel declares, she is leaving rather the weight of its violence: Antigone is not against power but she is far from it. In this way she shows to the chorus - the people of Thebes - her uncle’s tyrannical power. mar., 28 nov. 2023 11:12:55 +0100 ven., 19 janv. 2024 15:19:44 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/92 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/924 Addressing in particular the first three chapters, the contribution undertakes to reveal how the text, Le Avventure di Pinocchio, represents an unsuspected revolt against kings, sovereigns and more generally the figure of the father. It is done through the use of irony and more generally by distancing itself from the logic of identity. lun., 15 janv. 2024 11:48:45 +0100 lun., 15 janv. 2024 11:49:02 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/924
