Résumé. D’après Aristote, la tragédie est une action qui soulève et purifie les passions. Les théoriciens et les dramaturges de la Renaissance cherchent à expliquer ce paradoxe : comment est-il possible qu’en éveillant les passions on parvienne à les modérer, purger, purifier ? Dans un contexte où les émotions du spectacle paraissent moralement condamnables, expliquer la catharsis est un enjeu crucial : par-delà la théorie, il s’agit de légitimer le théâtre et de valoriser son efficacité sur les spectateurs.

Mots-clé. Catharsis, Tragédie classique, Torquato Tasso, Rotrou, Hamlet.

Sintesi. Secondo Aristotele, la tragedia è un’azione che suscita e purifica le passioni. Teorici e drammaturghi, nel Rinascimento, cercano di spiegare questo paradosso : come è possibile che suscitare le passioni serva a moderarle, a purgarle, a purificarle? In un contesto ideologico in cui le emozioni dello spettacolo paiono moralmente condannabili, spiegare la catarsi è cruciale : si tratta in realtà di legittimare il teatro e di valorizzare l’efficacia dello spettacolo sul pubblico.

Parole chiavi. Catarsi, Tragedia, Tasso, Rotrou, Hamlet.

Abstract. According to Aristotle, tragedy arouses and at the same time purifies the audience passions. Renaissance scholars and playwrights try to explain the paradox : how is it possible to restrain, moderate and purge the passions by rising them ? In the ideological context of Counter Reformation Europe, the emotions of the theatre seem morally reprehensible. It is therefore crucial to explain the catharsis : what is at stake in this debate is the legitimacy of theatre and of the emotions it arouses.

Keywords. Catharsis, Early modern tragedy, Torquato Tasso, Rotrou, Hamlet.
