Myth, Ritual and Drama : The Japanese Paradigm

概要

論文の詳細を見る
It is the purpose of this paper to parallel aspects of the development of two classical civilizations on the issue of the emergence of drama from ritual. Classical Greek and Japanese civilization have been variously compared since the 19th century onwards, and many of the observations that have been made are highly illuminating. I will begin by making reference to a thinker who himself saw some striking parallels that lie behind the wider issue of how drama evolved from myth and ritual.
