Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the cathartic function of suspense in tragic dramas, contrasting it with catharsis in other mediums like painting and music. The author argues that the tragic drama requires a more complex and thorough catharsis. The author makes a case that the tragic catharsis should not be thought of as only being in the denouement or in connection to overcoming merely individualistic emotional responses. The author's position is that the catharsis results from the way in which suspense calls for all available energy of the psychos to solve the problem, while demanding more of the intellect than in other dynamic art forms. Therefore, any elements in the psychos that are not in harmony with the fundamentals needed to solve the problem are deprived of the energy necessary for their continuous existence and are thus purged away. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330721377_0
