Synopsis

This work 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. This study consists of three parts. The first part is mostly theoretical, proposing a new definition of the dramatic as a category linked to general systems phenomena and offering a new classification of dramatic genre. The second part offers a contextual analysis of some works based on this new classification. The third part explores an analysis of the comedy of a new type - CNT. Its emphasis is on the integration of the part and the whole in approaching the protagonist's potential.
