Sommario/riassunto

Cette étude est une traversée historique et esthétique du noir au théâtre. Par des exemples concrets, l'ouvrage rend compte de son évolution et permet d'établir le noir en tant que lumière parmi les composantes de la scène. Du xve au xviie siècle, la lumière était un luxe. Au xixe siècle, époque de « l’obscurcissement des théâtres », le noir est un allié de l’illusion théâtrale. En se rapprochant du xxe siècle, il trouve progressivement sa place et ses richesses esthétiques. Car enfin, on va « faire le noir et travailler l’ombre », grâce au symbolisme, au naturalisme ou à l’expressionnisme. Dès lors, à l’instar des futuristes, de la danse de Loïe Fuller et du théâtre d’ombres, on peut éprouver le noir et jouer avec lui dans le cadre de la boîte noire du théâtre. Plastiquement, au xxie siècle, le noir se révèle dans son absence ou sa présence. Le noir prend en charge la dimension poétique et politique du théâtre. Il devient « avaleur », « mangeur d’images » et révélateur des grandes tragédies contemporaines.  This study proposes ahistorical and aesthetic travel through the colour black in theater. By giving concrete examples, the book reflects this evolution and establishes darkness as a light among the stage’s components.

Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the evolution, impact, and future prospects of the Security Sector Reform (SSR) model in conflict-affected countries in the context of the wider debate over the liberal peace project. Since its emergence as a concept in the late 1990s, SSR has represented a paradigm shift in security assistance, from the realist, regime-centric, train-and-equip approach of the Cold War to a new liberal, holistic and people-centred model. The rapid rise of this model, however, belied its rather meagre impact on the ground. This book critically examines the concept and its record of achievement over the past two decades, putting it into the broader context of peace-building and state-



building theory and practice. It focuses attention on the most common, celebrated and complex setting for SSR, conflict-affected environments, and comparatively examines the application and impacts of donor-supported SSR programing in a series of conflict-affected countries over the past two decades, including Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo, East Timor and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The broader aim of the book is to better understand how the contemporary SSR model has coalesced over the past two decades and become mainstreamed in international development and security policy and practice. This provides a solid foundation to investigate the reasons for the poor performance of the model and to assess its prospects for the future. This book will be of much interest to students of international security, peacebuilding, statebuilding, development studies and IR in general.
