Fable (plot, composition) and mimesis (imitation, mimetic illusion): the theoretical-factual crisis of both terms on the European (post-)dramatic context. Validation of a model and re-founding of drama the late-20th /early-21st centuries

Abstract

Introduction: This article explores the crisis or adaptation, as the case may be, of some dramatic terms and concepts through 21st century stage and dramaturgy in the culture of postmodernity. Among them are fable, which denotes plot and compositional organization, and mimesis, also called mimetic illusion. Methodology: the analytical-synthetic method is applied: to begin with, a decomposition of the plays into their constituent parts is carried out, and then the common features are synthesized in order to draw relevant conclusions. Results and Conclusions: The results and conclusions validate the non-formal performative model, proposed in the theoretical framework, in their comparison and analysis with the theatrical plays of the most representative authors of the European continent. Discussion: Within the event, the crisis of fable and mimesis induces dissonances due to a new logic of meaning. It is a question of seeing to what extent the reality of these plays meets the proposed model made up as a result of personal philosophical and dramatic research or of one's own and others' experience in the field of dramaturgical management and other signs of the stage.
