From Vienna with love : William Shakespeare's Measure for measure

Présentation en anglais

Neither a full-scale tragedy nor a full-fledged comedy, William
Shakespeare's Measure for Measure is a category-defying "problem
play" which has baffled critics and audience alike for centuries.
Shakespeare's last, unfestive comedy, one of his most debated and
misread plays, has become a favourite among (post) modern
spectactors, after years of comparative neglect and disfigurement.
Despite the title's symmetry, drawing from the formulation of
Talionic law, there is no such thing as "measure for measure", if
only because the source of measure or judgment is itself biased.
The present text-centered study aims at testing the validity of this
axiom on a thematic, dramatic and linguistic level, and at providing
lines of enquiry into a play which can ultimately be read as a
celebration of drama - drama being the sole force to escape from
the grip of this black, threatening comedy and come out strenghtened.
