Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,8, University of Tubingen (Englisches Seminar), course: Introduction to Literary Studies, language: English, abstract: "'The marvelous performances in [this] great movie [...] [are] only slightly marred by [a] Hollywood ending.' Tennessee Williams" (cf. Yacowar). Tennessee Williams' play "A Streetcar Named Desire" from 1947 was often staged and interpreted. It was also the base of Elia Kazan's famous and remarkable movie from 1951. Since a book allows for interpretation, the movie features a different realization. This paper will contrast the written form with the film version. To illustrate the different realizations there will be a closer look at the two special and important scenes, ten and eleven, which are exemplarily for the differences in the general conversion. The decision for exactly these scenes is founded in the striking differences in conversion and adaptation and by reason of plenty of content rapidly beat down in these scenes. Due to many influences, the film departs in places completely from Williams' original. These influences and differences will be described in the following first part. Particular attention will then be paid to the music and noises, and the moods and emotions caused by these. And, due to being close linked to the adaptation of the whole movie, the effects of censorship will be explained. The impact is to work out in which ways the movie is adapted to the play and where it distinguishes from it.

Book Description
A Streetcar Named Desire connut, dès sa première à Broadway, un succès prodigieux, au point qu'il faut s'interroger sur la nature de la réussite internationale de la pièce et de son pendant cinéma tographique. Sa nouveauté tenait - entre autres choses - dans le sentiment qu'avait le public d'être traité en adulte. Le soldat Kowalski et ses amis, la sexualité de Blanche et de sa sueur, l'univers du Vieux Carré, proche en apparence du néo-réalisme italien de la même période, sont ici le matériau d'une tragédie hors du temps et d'une ambition poétique puissante et originale qui voulait assumer pleinement la complexité humaine. Quand Kazan parle du cinéma, il pense aussi au théâtre : " Sitting out front or before your screen, you realize you're witnessing a real event, une more real than life, for in "life" there are the limits of civilization - the police, for instance. In art, there should be none. " Ici, l'art - sans limites - se veut plus vrai que la vie, car il peut montrer la vérité, dans sa complexité et ses excès.
Book Description
Ce volume présente par sa structure tripartite - études de la pièce, du film et textes croisés - des approches volontairement très diverses de A Streetcar Named Desire, œuvre emblématique de Tennessee Williams devenue film mythique grâce à Elia Kazan, Marlon Brando et Vivien Leigh. Ces analyses ont pour but de resituer l'œuvre dans un contexte historique, littéraire et cinématographique aussi inclusif que possible, tout en proposant des lectures approfondies de ses modalités de fonctionnement et des dispositifs d'écho ou, au contraire, des phénomènes de divergence entre les deux formes d'art. En offrant un éclairage sur quelques aspects essentiels de la pièce et du film, les différents contributeurs ont tenté d'expliciter les parcours singuliers de deux auteurs qui partagent le même territoire.

Book Description
Elia Kazan was the twentieth century’s most celebrated director of both stage and screen, and this monumental, revelatory book shows us the master at work. Kazan’s list of Broadway and Hollywood successes—A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, On the Waterfront, to name a few—is a testament to his profound impact on the art of directing. This remarkable book, drawn from his notebooks, letters, interviews, and autobiography, reveals Kazan’s method: how he uncovered the “spine,” or core, of each script; how he analyzed each piece in terms of his own experience; and how he determined the specifics of his production. And in the final section, “The Pleasures of Directing”—written during Kazan’s final years—he becomes a wise old pro offering advice and insight for budding artists, writers, actors, and directors.

Book Description
The Glass Menagerie avait apporté à son auteur une gloire nationale, A Streetcar Named Desire lui donna une renommée universelle. Tennessee Williams devint alors, et pour une vingtaine d'années, le plus grand dramaturge américain vivant, peut-être le plus grand simplement. La présence de Streetcar au programme des concours doit susciter une relecture en profondeur de cette pièce et en favoriser une réévaluation. Car cette oeuvre est une merveille de précision dont aucun élément n'apparaît comme gratuit ou superflu. Elle illustre aussi parfaitement l'univers de son créateur et, dès son entrée en scène, Blanche DuBois a partout conquis l'attention et le coeur du public qui a reconnu en elle l'incarnation tragique du Vieux Sud emporté par le vent, et l'héritière contemporaine des héroïnes raciniennes. Vivien Leigh, dans le film de Kazan, contribua à la rendre inoubliable. Tennessee Williams qui, aux États-Unis, a désormais sa place parmi les classiques, reste en France un glorieux inconnu. Puisse ce livre contribuer à le faire aimer. Claude COULON est maître de conférences à l'université Paris IV-Sorbonne. Président du RADAC (Recherches sur les Arts Dramatiques Anglophones Contemporains), membre du bureau de la Société d'histoire du théâtre, il a traduit et mis en scène des pièces du répertoire américain (dont Tennessee Williams) en France. Cet ouvrage est le fruit de la collaboration entre les éditions Armand Colin, et le Centre National d'Enseignement à Distance, établissement public d'enseignement qui dispense des formations de tous niveaux à plus de 350 000 inscrits répartis dans le monde entier. Cette contribution scientifique d'enseignants chercheurs de l'Université française s'intègre dans les préparations assurées par le CNED aux CAPES et aux agrégations d'anglais qui comprennent aussi des conseils méthodologiques et des entraînements aux épreuves des concours avec correction personnalisée. Les très riches heures du théâtre américain. De Tom à Tennessee. Les structures de Streetcar. Les personnages. Art et technique. Tragique et tragédie. De la scène à l'écran.
