COURTES, NOEMIE (Institution unknown). "Tricks and Effects in the Theatre of the Early Modern Era" (investigating special effects on the stage, before Méliès). I want especially to focus on the relations between machinery and the notion of genre, as well as on effects of a smaller scale, without infrastructure—the ones more related to conjuring tricks and props, in opposition to the machinery of the setting. The aim is to discover whether a relation exists between the possibility—or the impossibility—of effects and the way texts are written. noemie.courtes@free.fr

RACEVSKIS, ROLAND (Iowa). Bk., Tragic Passages: Jean Racine's Art of the Threshold (for Bucknell UP, forthcoming in 2008). Presents a new, theoretically informed reading of Racine's nine secular tragedies, from La Thébaïde (1664) to Phèdre (1677). This detailed study focuses on literary/ theatrical constructions of space, time, and identity. The central hypothesis holds that in a number of his tragedies, Racine places his characters in a position of limbo, between the self and the other, between what is onstage and what is offstage, between life and death, the transcendent and the terrestrial, the personal and the public. Racine's secular tragedies thus highlight the paradoxical human predicament of being caught in in-between states of being, and develops an esthetics of the threshold. Exploring multiple intermediary spaces of experience, from the personal to the eschatological, Racine's tragedies undertake a sustained inquiry into philosophical questions of world limits and of the boundaries of human experience, questions that have become urgent in the present day.
