“…Its manipulations of time and space illustrate what Samuel Weber calls theater's status as a "medium," an agent of mediation between the present occasion and an imagined elsewhere. 42 The feeling of being "at once here and elsewhere" (Weber,13), 43 characteristic of all performance, is especially meaningful in Le théâtre de Neptune. While the play-text conjures up a performance capable of transporting those present to an imagined future, the script itself commemorates a singular theatrical event only ever to be replayed again in the mind of its reader.…”

Performing a New France, Making Colonial History in Marc Lescarbot's Théâtre de Neptune (1606)

This essay examines the role of performance practices in the making of colonial history through an analysis of the first French-language theater piece staged in the New World, Marc Lescarbot's Théâtre de Neptune (1606). The form of performance in this work offers a radically different way of crafting and engaging with history, simultaneously “restoring” the past via reenactment in the present and implying the possibility of future reiterations. Lescarbot's script presents a useful case study of performance's challenges to more traditional configurations of literary and cultural history.

“…For the same reason, however, it is also not simply “performance”, if by performance is meant the actualization or realization of an intention, because both work and performance relegate the spectator to the status of a more or less passive observer. [Farce], by contrast, appeals to the audience's desire to be “comically productive”, to participate as singular beings in a theatrical spectacle that can no longer be defined either as object of sensual perception or as a work (Weber 2004: 218–9).…”

This speculative essay is prompted by the formal characteristics of contemporary debates over the progress of medicine, namely their oscillation between claims about ever greater possibilities and dire warnings about threats to fundamental human values, and by a troublesome, yet resonant, phase from Nikolas Rose's reflections on contemporary governmental mechanisms. It seeks to push the terms medicine, state and market to their conceptual limit, and raise question thereby about what might be the most appropriate comportment towards these debates.
