Tragedy and its possibilities in contemporary world
Tošovský, Jan ; Ullrichová, Daria (advisor) ; Korčák, Jakub (referee)
The composition deals with the question whether tragedy as dramatic genre is possible in contemporary world. In the first part it summarises the history of theoretical thought about the genre from the beginnings in Greek antiquity until present and hence tries to deduce a "common theory" of tragedy, viable in the context of contemporary world. Special attention is paid to the work of Georg Lukács, a pertinent critic of modern drama. The second part examines the world(s) in which tragedy was growing naturally, i. e. preeminently antique Athens and Elizabethan England, and notices several structural coincidences in the historical periods in question. Subsequently it tries to discern such structures in the contemporary world and hence deduce whether the character of our world is compatible with the development of authentic tragedy. Doing this, it uses as key notions the "tragical life feeling" and the "myth" comprehended in broad sense as dynamically conflicting constants of human understanding of the world and attitude towards it.
