In 2015, I traveled to Havana with the support of an ASTR Targeted Areas Research Grant to work on processing the physical materials of the Photographic Archive of Tablas-Alarcos Press (hereinafter the Tablas-Alarcos archive or collection). The Tablas-Alarcos archive is a unique collection because it exists not in a traditional research institution, but in the offices of a state-run press dedicated to the performing arts. Also, it consists of materials that have been saved after critics, researchers, and editors have completed the process of publishing their work. Much more than photographs, this collection also contains programs, unpublished manuscripts, and various theatre ephemera from all over the globe and in multiple languages.1

For French theatre history, the seventeenth century paradoxically stands out as both the Grand Siècle, or golden age, in which Pierre Corneille, Molière, and Jean Racine produced their masterpieces, and as a period of intense antitheatrical sentiment in which Jansenist theologians like Pierre Nicole and Catholic bishops like Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet composed treatises against the stage and its players. French historiographers have given the name la querelle de la moralité du théâtre, or the quarrel over the theatre's morality, to the diverse episodes that called into question the theatre's place in public life in prerevolutionary France.1 This quarrel merits a performance analysis. Whereas theatre scholarship has devoted careful attention to the material features of early modern theatre practice, antitheatrical sentiment's story has largely been told as a progression of ideas.2 In works that remain essential reading, scholars such as Moses Barras, Marc Fumaroli, Jonas Barish, Simone de Reyff, Jean Dubu, Sylviane Léoni, and Laurent Thirouin have examined the rise and development of French arguments against the stage, reconstructing French antitheatrical sentiment's intellectual history from antiquity through the French Revolution.3 As demonstrated by titles such as Dubu's Les Églises chrétiennes et le théâtre [Christian churches and the theatre] and de Reyff's L’Église et le théâtre [the church and the theatre], enough of the period's antitheatrical fervor had religious roots that French theatre polemics are often also conceptualized as a conflict between the church and the theatre.
在法国戏剧史上,矛盾的是,17世纪既是大舞台,又是黄金时代,皮埃尔·科尼耶、莫里哀和让·拉辛在这一时期创作了他们的杰作,在这一时期,像皮埃尔·妮可这样的詹森派神学家和像雅克斯·贝尼根·博苏特这样的天主教主教撰写了反对舞台及其演奏者的论文。法国历史学家将“剧院道德之争”(la querelle de la morratédu théâtre)或“关于剧院道德的争论”命名为各种各样的事件,这些事件使人们质疑剧院在进化前的法国公共生活中的地位。1这场争论值得进行表演分析。尽管戏剧学术界对早期现代戏剧实践的物质特征给予了谨慎的关注,但反戏剧情感的故事在很大程度上被视为一种思想的发展,Laurent Thirouin研究了法国反对舞台的论点的兴起和发展,重建法国从古代到法国大革命的对立情感的知识史。3正如杜布的《基督教堂与剧院》和德·雷夫的《教堂与剧院,这一时期的反派热情有足够多的宗教根源,以至于法国戏剧论战也经常被概念化为教会和戏剧之间的冲突。
