演劇の物語論覚え書

―戯曲と上演―

抄録

The recent, so-called post-classical narratology is more concerned with narrative in the communication form, in the feedback loop or in everyday life than with literary narrative. However, narratology of theatre has not been paid much attention in any case, although a play mostly contains a story, which can be narrated. A reason, if not the reason, for the relative neglect of theatre narratology might be the insistence of classical narratologists that no narrator of a story would exit in a play, because it should consist only of dialogues.

This article is a preliminary attempt of theatre narratology, mainly focusing on the changing aspect of the story in the process from a written play to a performance. It also involves the problem of translation and adaptation of a play into a different language or medium.
