Drama Genesis

Résumé du livre

Drama Genesis offers a radical redefinition of drama for the contemporary world. Rather than treating drama as a literary object, a theatrical form, or an emotional experience, this book reconstructs drama as a public meaning engineering system-a structured mechanism through which societies generate, test, and stabilize meaning. At the core of the book is a generative framework known as the SDE model: E (Entanglement Insertion), D (Difference-driven Transition), S (Structural Emergence), and ¿E (Post-event Meaning Stabilization). Through this framework, drama is shown to function not merely on stage, but across social events, political movements, religious narratives, and modern media ecosystems. A drama is considered complete not at its ending, but after the audience has left, when its meaning becomes stable enough to reshape perception, judgment, and action in real life. One of the book's central innovations is its unification of tragedy and comedy. Moving beyond emotional or formal distinctions, Drama Genesis demonstrates that tragedy and comedy are two directional outcomes of the same generative process: tragedy stabilizes meaning through irreversible cost and structural termination, while comedy stabilizes meaning through structural revival and renewed continuity. Both are shown to be essential engines of civilization-one for clearing illusions, the other for restoring possibility. Combining philosophy, dramatic theory, social analysis, and methodological tools, the book also provides a practical Drama Genesis Toolkit, enabling readers to analyze, evaluate, and design dramas based on identifiable structural markers rather than subjective taste. In an era of narrative overload, emotional manipulation, and AI-generated storytelling, Drama Genesis establishes a rigorous standard for distinguishing momentary spectacle from genuine meaning formation. It is a foundational work for scholars, creators, and thinkers seeking to understand how drama continues to shape human civilization-not as entertainment alone, but as a technology of collective meaning.
