ДРАМАТУРГИЧЕСКИЙ КОНФЛИКТ: ВНУТРЕННЕЕ ПРОТИВОРЕЧИЕ КАК ПРОЕКЦИЯ ДЕЙСТВИЯ В ИГРОВОМ КИНО

Abstract

I consider the reason to apply the basic relations of the pair of categories of the theory of dramaturgy, dramatic conflict and action, in relation to cinematography as determining the trajectory of the hero’s path. Through consideration of different points of view on what is primary, conflict or action, analyzing the impactful theories of drama, I prove that in feature films, psychological problems, an unremovable internal contradiction that puts the hero before a choice, is the trigger mechanism for action, as a chain of events that form a character arc. The reflection on the nature of the dramaturgical conflict, introduced by Hegel in his Aesthetics, attracted the attention of researchers in the 20th – 21st centuries, who generally considered the action as a kind of event that causes a clash of forces. Under the influence of Freud’s psychoanalysis, in many circumstances, the conflict is seen as an internal condition for the development of the organic form, and in relation to film dramaturgy, as an internal unresolved contradiction that causes a reaction from the environment and provokes external events that push the hero to actions, and the characteristics of the last is fully determined by the stage of development of his or her identity.
