Pinter Histories and Legacies: The Impact of Harold Pinter's Work on the Development of British Stage and Screen Practices (1957-2017).

哈罗德·品特(1930-2008)是一位作家，他五十多年的作品涵盖了许多流派：戏剧、电影、电视和广播剧、诗歌、散文和政治散文。自20世纪60年代以来，他的作品一直是世界戏剧经典的一部分，他的电影为英国电影的景观和实践做出了贡献，他经常被认为是战后最重要的英国作家之一。他对文学和世界舞台的贡献得到了多个奖项的认可，包括诺贝尔文学奖(2005年)、欧洲戏剧奖(2006年)、文学服务荣誉伴侣奖(2002年)和荣誉L奖(2007年)。他的电影吸引了奥斯卡奖和金球奖的提名，并赢得了BAFTA，Palme d‘Or，英国编剧协会奖。他的作品对其他作家产生了影响，他的职业生涯涉及与著名演员和导演的重要合作，包括德克·博加德、朱迪·丹奇、迈克尔·甘本、约翰·吉尔古德、彼得·霍尔、杰里米·艾恩斯、约瑟夫·洛西、拉尔夫·理查森、伊恩·里克森和梅丽尔·斯特里普。该项目旨在追踪、绘制图表、存档哈罗德·品特戏剧在英国的每一部专业作品，直到2017年。将对他在电视和广播方面的原创广播和重大复兴工作以及他在电影业的活动进行补充和综合调查。这些将被记录在一个数据库中，一旦完成，将向更广泛的研究界和公众提供该数据库。这一雄心壮志将通过获取一系列新的和已建立的档案材料以及在数据库中处理和链接这些材料来实现。中心将是大英图书馆的品特档案馆。档案研究，以及数据库将促进这些材料之间的联系，将有助于构建对品特工作如何在媒体上形成他独特的声音，以及他的作品对他的影响领域产生的影响的新的欣赏。我们将对品特不同的表演美学的演变进行聚焦和细致入微的理解。他自己参与其作品的表演和拍摄对这些美学做出贡献的方式可以被绘制和分析。对他长期的创造性关系(如与彼得·霍尔、约翰·布里或艾琳·迪斯的关系)的新调查将提供重要的材料。从这里，他的活动和作品如何对广泛的当代实践产生了可衡量的影响的欣赏将被理论化。知识、批判性思维和信息将在项目网站和相关的非正式博客上传播。除了研讨会、会议和出版物的传统产出外，研究还将以电子书的形式进一步传播，这是一种具有丰富媒体和互动元素的电子书。应用程序的概念将被开发出来，作为一种手段，允许调用与用户自己的互动、搜索查询和兴趣相关的数据库材料。虽然影响和影响的问题经常成为关于作者和他的作品的论文、文章、评论和专著的内容，但还没有一项全面的研究试图以任何一致的方式评估作为一名艺术家在他所贡献的众多领域的影响；寻求量化和定义他的作品随着他的名人进步产生了什么影响；以及他在文化和社会表达领域留下了什么遗产。理解公众对文化人物的理解和认识与对该人作品的新解释之间的关系有助于戏剧规划活动和创作过程，并有助于理解该作品及其在其他作品和实践中留下的遗产的相对文化价值。

Harold Pinter (1930-2008) was a writer whose output over five decades spanned a number of genres: theatre, film, television and radio drama, poetry, prose and political essays. His work has been a part of the canon of world theatre since the 1960s, his films have contributed to the landscape and practices of British cinema, and he is often cited as one of the most significant British writers of the post-war period. His contribution to literature and to the world stage was recognised by a number of awards including the Nobel Prize for Literature (2005), the European Theatre Prize (2006), the Companion of Honour for services to literature (2002) and The Légion d'Honneur (2007). His films have attracted Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations and have won BAFTA, Palme d'Or, Writers Guild of Great Britain awards. His work has been an influence on other writers and his career has involved significant collaborations with renowned actors and directors including Dirk Bogarde, Judi Dench, Michael Gambon, John Gielgud, Peter Hall, Jeremy Irons, Joseph Losey, Ralph Richardson, Ian Rickson and Meryl Streep.This project will aim to trace, chart, archive and contextualise every professional production of Harold Pinter's plays in the UK since 1957 and through to 2017. There will be a complementary and integrated survey of original broadcasts and significant revivals of his work for television and radio, and his activities in the film industry. These will be captured within a database which will be made available to the wider research community and the public once it is complete. This ambition will be served by access to a range of new and established archival material, and processing and linking this material within the database. Central to this will be the Pinter archive at the British Library. The archival research, and the linkage across such materials that a database will facilitate, will help construct new appreciations of how Pinter's work across media served to form his distinctive voice, and the impact that his output has had across his fields of influence. A focussed and nuanced understanding of the evolution of different aesthetics of performing Pinter will be constructed. The manner in which his own participation in the performance and filming of his work contributed to those aesthetics can be mapped and analysed. New investigations into his long-standing creative relationships (such as those with Peter Hall, John Bury or Eileen Diss) will offer important material. From here, an appreciation of how his activities and productions of his work had a measurable impact upon broad contemporary practice will be theorised. Knowledge, critical thought and information will be disseminated on a project website and associated informal blog. In addition to the traditional outputs of symposia, a conference, and publications, the research will further be disseminated in the form of an eBook, an iBook with rich media and interactive elements. The concept for an app will be developed, proposed as a means of allowing database material to be called-up in relation to the user's own interactions, search queries and interests.While issues of influence and impact often inform papers, articles, reviews and monographs on the author and his work, there has yet to be a comprehensive study that attempts in any consistent way to assess Pinter's impact as an artist in and across the numerous fields to which he contributed; to seek to quantify and define what impact his work had as his celebrity progressed; and what legacies are left by him in the areas of cultural and social expression in which he engaged. Understanding the relationship between pubic understanding and awareness of a cultural figure and new interpretations of that person's output feeds into theatre programming activities and creative processes, and helps to develop an appreciation of the relative cultural value of that output and its legacies in other works and practices.
