Insights into power, spectacle, and performance in the courts of Middle Eastern rulersIn recent decades, scholars have produced much new research on courtly life in medieval Europe, but studies on imperial and royal courts across the Middle East have received much less attention, particularly for courts before 1500AD. In the Presence of Power, however, sheds new light on courtly life across the region. This insightful, exploratory collection of essays uncovers surprising commonalities across a broad swath of cultures. The pre-modern period in this volume includes roughly seven centuries, opening with the first dynasty of Islam, the Umayyads, whose reign marked an important watershed for Late Antique culture, and closing with the rule of the so-called "gunpowder" empires of the Ottomans and Safavids over much of the Near East in the sixteenth century. In between, this volume locates similarities across the Western Medieval, Byzantine and Islamicate courtly cultures, spanning a vast history and geography to demonstrate the important cross-pollinations that occurred between their literary and cultural legacies. This study does not presume the presence of one shared courtly institution across time and space, but rather seeks to understand the different ways in which contemporaries experienced and spoke about these places of power and performance. Adopting a very broad view of performances, In the Presence of Power includes exuberant expressions of love in Arabic stories, shadow plays in Mamluk Cairo, Byzantine storytelling, religious food traditions in Christian Cyprus, advice, and political and ethnographic performances of power. - Häftad, Engelska, 2017

Broad and wide-ranging survey of and investigation into the important question of whether medieval narrative was designed for performance.This book provides the first comprehensive study of the performance of medieval narrative, using examples from England and the Continent and a variety of genres to examine the crucial question of whether - and how - medieval narratives were indeed intended for performance. Moving beyond the familiar dichotomy between oral and written literature, the various contributions emphasize the range and power of medieval performance traditions, and demonstrate thatknowledge of the modes and means of performance is crucial for appreciating medieval narratives.The book is divided into four main parts, with each essay engaging with a specific issue or work, relating it to larger questions about performance. It first focuses on representations of the art of medieval performers of narrative. It then examines relationships between narrative performances and the material books that inspired, recorded, or representedthem. The next section studies performance features inscribed in texts and the significance of considering performability. The volume concludes with contributions by present-day professional performers who bring medieval narratives to life for contemporary audiences. Topics covered include orality, performance, storytelling, music, drama, the material book, public reading, and court life. - E-bokPDF, Franska, 2022

Découvrir une histoire au Moyen Âge, c’était l’entendre lire – ou réciter – à haute voix, pour un public : le jongleur n’est pas seul, il met le ton, mime l’action, joue plusieurs personnages, il est acteur, danseur et musicien à l’occasion. Evelyn Birge Vitz, médiéviste spécialiste de la mise en voix des textes, a travaillé avec des acteurs sur la performance, la façon de transmettre ces œuvres et montre comment, de la chanson de geste au roman, ils se prêtent à la mise en scène, alors et maintenant.
Professeur Émérite à New York University, Evelyn Birge Vitz est une des principales spécialistes de la performance de la littérature narrative du Moyen Âge. Elle a publié entre autres Performing Medieval Narrative (D.S. Brewer, 2005, avec N. Regalado et M. Lawrence) et plus récemment In the Presence of Power: Court and Performance in the Premodern Middle East (New York University Press 2017, avec Maurice A. Pomerantz).
