Course objectives
The dramatic literature (shortly the drama, from greek dran) = means act, behavior. While abstrahing objectivity of ephic and lyricist subjectivity the drama is forming the mimesis. With its open structue, with the contrastst of monological and dialogical interchanges, different styles of linguistic forms, the drama is supposed to invoke strong emetional impulses leading to catarsis. We will try to deal with the problematics of dramatic literature and its structure, (not only) because (of that) the teorethical thinging of drama is going with the theatre since antiquity.
