520 $a The dissertation defines a type of metatheater, the performance-within-a-play, and examines its relationship to gender and to the social and political orders.
520 $a Analysis of the table scene of Le Tartuffe (IV,5), a paradigmatic example of the performance-within-a-play, demonstrates two of its key characteristics, partially hidden theatricality and performativity, which distinguish it from other types of metatheater, such as the play-within-a-play. They also allow for the performance's effectivity; that is, its ability to intervene in conflicts in the play world's "reality."
520 $a This dramatic function in the plays' plots leads to a social function as well, for the plots' conflicts concern tensions in the social order. The performance subverts the strictures of the social order to reconcile its paradoxical demands and beliefs. The performances, as crucial plot elements, lead to a temporary and partial resolution of these tensions and to the maintenance of the status quo.
520 $a When the performance is involved in a conflict regarding gender roles, it allows female characters to establish a social role for themselves and, at the same time, to maintain surface appearances. While the performances in this case do not directly attack the social order, they do not support it either. Moreover, the two genders use performance differently: male characters' performances implement an oppressive and excessive authority through "strategy," while female characters evade authority through "tactics." A character's position in the structures of authority, a position partly determined by gender, determines how he or she will use performance.
520 $a In tragedy, the performance-within-a-play is also associated with gender roles and, in addition, it becomes a political tool. Corneille demonstrates both its use as a means to bolster weakened authority on the part of the monarch or to revolt against the social and political order by a female character. For Racine, the performance is a means of asserting an illegitimate and oppressive political power.
520 $a The performance-within-a-play structure seems to be characteristic of classical theater. The analysis here suggests that the connection exists as a result of the rules of classical drama, contemporary views of the effects of performance, and the social tensions represented in classical theater.
