This article focuses on violence in language as a modality for negotiating with the real in Étienne Lepage's play Rouge gueule (2009). Situating our approach at the crossroads of literary and theatre studies subsequent to the work of Marion Chénetier-Alev on orality in theatre (2010), we address the violence done to both the theatrical device and reader-viewers within the theatrical space, which is made possible by the language's cruelty. Our reflexion also expands to investigate British in-yer-face theatre (of which Sarah Kane is emblematic) and its impacts on contemporary Quebec theatre, while emphasizing the knowledge of Quebec dramaturgy that is evident in the play. In this sense, the language invented by Lepage forms a counterpoint to a certain contemporary cynicism and imposes a language that is rich and conscious of its filiations and history.

AbstractArt as cultural capital is central to the work of sociologists such as Pierre Bourdieu, and this concept is germane to the analysis of the art museum in contemporary society. Unlike educational attainment, taste in art is considered an individual matter with little social importance. I argue against this on the basis of Bourdieu's and Darbel's study of art museums publics; compare their findings with more recent research in Europe and the United States; and question whether the assertion of the relation of taste to social mobility has been proven. The art museum may become more of a leveler than a barrier to equality, but as long as education and occupational inequality exist, this remains a tenuous project.
