A Concept of Dramatic Genre and. the Comedy of a New Type.
Chess, Literature,
and Film.
(Southern Illinois
University Press, 2002). Applying
systems theory to the comedies of Chekhov, Balzac, Kleist, Moliere,
and Shakespeare, A Concept of Dramatic Genre approaches dramatic genre from the point of view of the degree of
richness and strength of a character’s potential. Its main focus is
to establish a methodology for analyzing the potential from
multidimensional perspectives, using systems thinking. The whole
concept is an alternative to the Aristotelian plot-based approach
and is applied to an analysis of western and eastern European
authors as well as contemporary American film.
