Theories of the comic

Summary/Abstract: The present report brings into discussion, by investigating and determining some directions in its evolution, the comic, in the context of the new social, economic, political and cultural realities of contemporary comedy. We have as a subject of analysis a distinct form of the dramaturgy, namely the comedy, through the prism of the multiple forms through which it is presented, and of the recurrent aesthetic formulas of these dramatic species. We do not propose the discovery of new formulas, nor the reversal of the already existing ones, we try to offer an alternative, a practical way of analysis, a thematic approach specific to the actor, not the philologist. This and from the desire not to treat marginal comedy anymore, from the desire to be granted the proper status, the motivation of choosing the theme being a subjective one.
