Spregelburd, A. Tantanian and J. Daulte.

This thesis puts an interpretation on contacts between spanish and argentinian theatre and explains specifics of spanish-argentinian theatre context. It studies the genre of the grotesque from the philosophical and esthetical view as a way of depiction of contemporary word and it tries to find common formal principles and topics, that recur in five studied plays. In fifty five one act plays the thesis discovers repeating mental patterns, which critically reflect the course of contemporary western civilization. These topics divides into eight chapters: "Individualism", "Prison in a system", "Deformation of interpersonal relationships", "Hypermoden capitalims and crisis of the democracy", "Crisis of the religion", "Dehumanization", "Course to the apokalypse?". The fundamental part of the thesis is a philosophic reflection of these topics and interpretation of concrete one act-plays with the intend to outline how the playwrights work with the topics in their plays.
