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（Harold Pinter, 1930-2008）是一位作家，他在50多年的时间里创作了许多类型的作品：戏剧、电影、电视、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，他的电影对英国电影的景观和实践做出了贡献，他经常被认为是战后英国最重要的作家之一。他对文学和世界舞台的贡献得到了许多奖项的认可，包括诺贝尔文学奖（2005年）、欧洲戏剧奖（2006年）、文学服务荣誉勋章（2002年）和荣誉勋章（2007年）。他的电影获得了奥斯卡奖和金球奖提名，并获得了英国电影和电视艺术学院奖、金棕榈奖和英国编剧协会奖。他的作品对其他作家产生了影响，他的职业生涯中与著名演员和导演有过重要的合作，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，图表，存档和背景，从1957年到2017年，哈罗德品特的戏剧在英国的每一个专业生产。将对他的原创广播进行补充和综合调查，并对他的电视和广播作品以及他在电影工业中的活动进行重大恢复。这些信息将被收集到一个数据库中，一旦完成，这个数据库将提供给更广泛的研究界和公众。为了实现这一目标，将提供一系列新的和已建立的档案材料，并在数据库内处理和连接这些材料。其核心将是大英图书馆的品特档案。档案研究，以及数据库将促进的这些材料之间的联系，将有助于对品特的作品如何跨媒体形成他独特的声音，以及他的作品在他的影响领域产生的影响建立新的评价。将构建对不同表演品特美学演变的集中和细致的理解。他自己参与表演和拍摄作品的方式对这些美学的贡献可以被映射和分析。对他长期的创作关系（如与彼得·霍尔、约翰·伯里或艾琳·迪斯的关系）的新调查将提供重要的材料。从这里，欣赏他的活动和他的作品如何对广泛的当代实践产生可衡量的影响将被理论化。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。除了传统的专题讨论会、会议和出版物的产出外，研究还将进一步以电子书、iBook的形式传播，其中包含丰富的媒体和互动元素。一个应用程序的概念将被开发出来，作为一种允许数据库材料根据用户自己的互动、搜索查询和兴趣被调用的手段。虽然关于品特及其作品的论文、文章、评论和专著中经常涉及到影响和影响的问题，但目前还没有一项全面的研究，试图以任何一致的方式评估品特作为艺术家在他所贡献的众多领域中的影响；试图量化和定义他的工作对他的名气的影响；以及他在他参与的文化和社会表达领域留下了什么遗产。理解公众对一个文化人物的理解和意识与对这个人的作品的新解释之间的关系，有助于戏剧节目活动和创作过程，并有助于培养对该作品及其在其他作品和实践中的遗产的相对文化价值的欣赏。

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.
