Theatre Censorship in Spain (1931-1985)

审查制度的研究对于理解文化生产与国家之间的关系至关重要。在西班牙第二共和国、内战和佛朗哥将军独裁期间，对所有媒体的审查被广泛用于宣传霸权政治和道德价值观，同时压制其他意识形态。艺术家们采取了各种策略来应对这些环境。戏剧作为一种有可能与社会建立直接联系的媒介，受到了特别严厉的控制，该项目旨在以该领域调查人员已经完成的研究为基础，对审查制度在西班牙世纪不同政治背景下的运作方式及其对所有形式的戏剧制作的影响进行迄今为止最全面的分析。需要调查的主要资源是保存在Alcalá de Henares国家档案馆的审查文件，这些文件为深入了解该制度的运作及其对戏剧活动的影响提供了宝贵的资料。除了审查员的报告和关于拟议制作和版本的信件外，该项目还将利用一系列其他来源，包括对所有相关立法的分析和对相关人员的采访。该项目的调查结果将在迈克尔·汤普森和凯瑟琳·奥利里合著的一本书中发表。本书将分析不同时期的审查过程，并提供详细的案例研究，以阐明所涉及问题的复杂性，同时考虑到审查员和被审查者的观点。将首次探讨审查制度对各种戏剧形式的影响-抗议戏剧、宣传戏剧、主流戏剧和喜剧、实验戏剧和表演、古典戏剧和外国戏剧。此外，该卷将通过提供关键文件和实例的英文翻译，加强非专业人员获得初级材料的机会，该项目旨在激励那些从事西班牙裔和欧洲研究、戏剧研究、文化研究、历史和信息研究的人进行进一步研究，有助于探索各学科当前关注的问题，如历史记忆和身份，以及文本与表演之间的关系。将通过组织一次国际会议，使全世界对审查制度感兴趣的学者和戏剧专业人员聚集一堂，建立直接的跨学科联系。会议打算将业绩因素作为一个重点，进行一次实际案例研究，并将发表一些选定的论文。

The study of censorship is vital to understanding the relationship between cultural production and the state. In Spain during the Second Republic, the civil war and the dictatorship of General Franco, censorship of all media was extensively used to promote hegemonic political and moral values while suppressing alternative ideologies. Artists adopted a variety of strategies in response to these environments. Theatre, as a medium with the potential to make direct and immediate connections with society, was subject to particularly severe control.Building on research already done by the investigators in this field, the project aims to carry out the most comprehensive analysis to date of how censorship functioned in Spain in different political contexts during the 20th century and the impact it had on all forms of theatrical production. The primary resource to be investigated is the collection of censorship documents held at the state archive in Alcalá de Henares, providing an invaluable insight into the operation of the system and its effect on theatrical activity. In addition to the censors' reports and correspondence on proposed productions and editions, the project will draw on a range of other sources, including analysis of all the relevant legislation and interviews with people involved.The findings of the project will be published in a book co-authored by Michael Thompson and Catherine O'Leary. The book will analyse the censorship process in the different periods and provide detailed case studies to illuminate the complexities of the issues involved, taking account of the perspectives of both the censors and the censored. For the first time, the impact of censorship on the full range of theatrical forms - protest theatre, propaganda theatre, mainstream drama and comedy, experimental theatre and performance, classical and foreign drama - will be explored. Furthermore, the volume will enhance access to the primary materials for non-specialists by providing translations into English of key documents and examples.The project is intended to stimulate further research by those working in Hispanic and European studies, theatre studies, cultural studies, history and information studies, contributing to explorations of issues of current concern in various disciplines, such as historical memory and identity, and the relationship between text and performance. Direct interdisciplinary links will be established through the organization of an international conference bringing together scholars and theatre professionals with an interest in censorship worldwide. It is intended that the conference will incorporate an element of performance as a focus for a live case study, and that selected papers will be published.
