Closet drama

Resumo A sociedade brasileira se desenvolveu em concepções morais e religiosas que estabele-ceram preceitos e normas de " certo " e " errado". A sexualidade humana também sofreu com o controle dessas concepções que se avaliou a partir dos dogmas religiosos, por meio da procriação e da criação divina, uma heteronormatividade compulsória. Os indivíduos que se desviam da norma imposta são considerados pecadores, passíveis de cura. O mecanismo para contornar essa perseguição é a invisibilização de sua se-xualidade desviante, protegida pelo " armário ". O estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória. Este trabalho possui por objetivo analisar as dificuldades vivenciadas no armário e a interferência da religiosidade dominante nesse espaço. Explora ainda algumas vivências tanto de indivíduos que saem, quanto dos que permanecem no " armário ". Foi possível encontrar ao final desta pesquisa uma influência religiosa determinista nos conceitos de normalidade relativos à sexualidade humana, padronizando e excluindo indivíduos, negando assim diversos direitos individuais como: educação, trabalho e convívio familiar.

La sociedad brasileña se ha desarrollado en puntos de vista morales y religiosos, que establecieron los principios y reglas de la “derecha” e “incorrecto”. La sexualidad humana también se ha visto afectada por el control de estas concepciones, que fue considerado de los dogmas religiosos, a través de la procreación y de la creación divina, una heterosexualidad obligatoria. Los individuos que se desvían de la norma impuesta se consideran pecadores, ser curados. El mecanismo para eludir esta persecución es la invisibilidad de su sexualidad desviada, protegida por el “armario”. El estudio fue desarrollado a partir de una investigación bibliográca. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las dicultades experimentadas en el armario y la interferencia de la religión dominante en este espacio.

Even though in philosophical studies the Platonic dialogues have always been an area for investigation, little attention has been paid to their dramatic aspects. Since Plato was an opponent of the mimetic arts, in particular theatre and drama, narrative has been given priority in his works. Therefore, his dialogues can be measured against the criteria of narrative drama. In the modern period, narrative drama gained popularity in Europe and was recognized as closet drama. The present article studies the mimetic and narrative features of such dramas and compares them with Platonic dialogues. First, the concepts of mimesis and narrative are described and, then, Plato’s ideas on these concepts are explained. Plato’s views on tragedy and comedy have also been specifically studied. We have, then, concentrated on the place of theatre in the modern period and among non-mimetic arts – an outcome of which is closet drama. In interpreting closet dramas, Gertrude Stein’s Four Saints in Three Acts as well as the overall structure of the plays of Bertolt Brecht and Samuel Beckett, two modernist playwrights, have been examined. Finally, by extracting the features of closet drama and comparing them with Plato’s dialogues, we arrive at the coordinates of Platonic dialogues as a dramatic type.
