Toward a Dramaturgical Interpretation of Religion
A distinction is drawn between theatricality and dramaturgy as modes for interpreting social and religious life. By means of theatricality scholars tend to analyze life as “theater” as “playacting” or “role-playing.” Theater is viewed as a metaphor for what “actually” occurs in life. By contrast, dr...

520 | |a A distinction is drawn between theatricality and dramaturgy as modes for interpreting social and religious life. By means of theatricality scholars tend to analyze life as “theater” as “playacting” or “role-playing.” Theater is viewed as a metaphor for what “actually” occurs in life. By contrast, dramaturgists interpret life as essentially dramatic in its interpersonal and collective aspects, whether the drama is significant or trivial, good or poor, “genuine” or “theatrical.” But there are certain elements and conditions which must be present in order to increase the possibility of the deeper levels of drama. Religious, social and moral life do not routinely achieve these levels, but when it happens the participants and persons in the active audience can recognize the moment as extraordinary, perhaps as an event of awesome significance. It is within these moments that new religious and moral paradigms may arise. At such time role-playing and theatricality are eclipsed but do not totally disappear. | ||
