Theatre Censorship in Spain (1931-1985)

对审查制度的研究对于理解文化生产和国家之间的关系至关重要。在西班牙，在第二共和国、内战和佛朗哥将军的独裁统治期间，对所有媒体的审查被广泛用于宣传霸权的政治和道德价值观，同时压制替代意识形态。艺术家们采取了各种策略来应对这些环境。剧院作为一种有可能与社会建立直接和直接联系的媒介，受到了特别严格的控制。该项目旨在根据这一领域的调查人员已经进行的研究，对20世纪西班牙审查制度在不同政治背景下是如何运作的，以及它对所有形式的戏剧制作的影响进行最全面的分析。要调查的主要资源是Alcaláde Henares国家档案馆保存的审查文件的收集，为了解该制度的运作及其对戏剧活动的影响提供了宝贵的见解。除了审查员关于拟议制作和版本的报告和通信外，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。该项目的发现将发表在迈克尔·汤普森和凯瑟琳·奥利里合著的一本书中。该书将分析不同时期的审查过程，并提供详细的案例研究，以说明所涉及问题的复杂性，同时考虑到审查人员和被审查人员的观点。将首次探讨审查制度对各种戏剧形式--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--的影响。此外，该卷将通过将关键文件和实例翻译成英语，加强非专业人员获取原始材料的机会。该项目旨在促进西班牙裔和欧洲研究、戏剧研究、文化研究、历史和信息研究工作人员的进一步研究，有助于探索当前各学科关注的问题，如历史记忆和身份，以及文本和表演之间的关系。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汇聚一堂，建立直接的跨学科联系。会议的目的是将业绩因素作为现场案例研究的重点，并将发表选定的论文。

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.
