아리스토텔레스의 <시학>에 제시된 플롯을 추진하는 행위의 미학적 원리 -소포클레스의 <오이디푸스왕>을 중심으로

Abstract

As much as Aristotle's Poetics is a work written in birth period of theater the concepts in the text are first conceptual discoveries of what is theater. But it has been read as a text that established the grammatical clues of the genre of theater through Neoclassical theater since the 17th century. As a result the reflection on ‘movement’ the unique aesthetics manifested in the first moment of art has been distorted and inherited as a theory of the opposite context of a fixed form. This thesis goes back to the first place and examines whether the formal concepts of plot-probability, unity, and completeness are important or not essentially. I focus on the fact that the concept he puts the most emphasis on in Poetics is the ‘action’ that a living person actually moves and does. In order to specifically examine the nature of action, <Oedipus the King> by Sophocles, which had the most important influence on his writing Poetics, is the subject of study. The property of the action that can be read in the ‘beginning’ and ‘middle’ is ‘unknown by the party’, and that in the ‘middle’ and ‘end’ is ‘escapism by the unknown’. The concluding emphasis of this discussion is the fact that the unknown and the escapism of the action is emerged spontaneously so that practical movement are triggered.
