  • Catharsis: the Common Goal of Storytelling and Life
    Catharsis: The Common Goal of Storytelling and Life Dr.Stanislav.Semerdjiev Full Professor of Screenwriting & Rector, NATFA [email protected] Catharsis: The Common Goal of Storytelling and Life 1. Classical Catharsis The term “catharsis” has been in circulation long before the times of Aristotle but nowadays we all accept that he is its reputed author. Unfortunately, the pages in Poetics containing its explanation though, have been irrevocably lost. On the other hand, we still have the passages in Politics where Aristotle defines the same term in respect to emotions and/or physiology, and those in Nicomachean Ethics from which an ethical interpretation could undeniably be derived. It is both impossible and unreasonable to try and trace all interpreters’ ideas in this short text. Therefore, I have chosen to roughly group them in three major trends. 1.1. Ethical or/and Aesthetic Catharsis The ethico-aesthetic interpretations probably started in 1634 with the presentation of the official rules of the French Academy for dramatic composition, which were centered on the notion of the audience’s emotional purgation (i.e., catharsis) as the main function of tragedy. For this to happen though, the public had to absolutely believe in what they saw on stage. By rationally comparing it to their own life (and finding out other people experienced the same and even worse situations) the audience, then, could feel relieved from their painful emotions. But this could only be achieved if the author used the rule of the three “dramatic unities” (those of action, time and place) attributed to Aristotle. The dogmatic view imposed on all dramatic works started the 200-year epic battle of “des anciens et des modernes”.
