Abstract EN:

This survey aims at examining the strategic value of the act of "looking "in Thomas Corneille's plays by studying how - through the writing and acting of his drama - he makes it clear that a look tan be captured and used as a go - between. Alter studying the strategy he uses to win over the différent kinds of audience , as well as the variety of his spectacular poetry the survey will have a typological and dramatic approach to the act of looking on the stage , when coming up against an obstacle - in fact the way Thomas Corneille guides the spectator's look towards the general meaning of his plays thus seen from an artistic and ideological point of view. This way of tackling the subject enables us to moue up from the plays themselves to their intrinsic meaning by questioning the theoretical and psychic representation of the relationship between passion and the act of looking : the act of looking on the stage is thus presented as enclosed in the desiring look of the spectator himself.
