The Modularity Of Dramatic Discourse In “the Paradise Of False Hopes” By Aïssa Khelladi

Authors : Chentouf Soumia .

Abstract

The deceptive nature of this comic dramatic discourse necessarily presupposes the mobilization of purposeful strategies to complete the appearance of the comic, while affirming the autonomy of the comic to generate itself and to follow a trajectory of meaning independent of the ideological dimension that emerges from the play. This study is situated within a perspective that emphasizes the nature of the comic as the outcome of a personal aesthetic judgment, which may vary from one reader to another. We consider that the chosen object of research, namely the strategies mobilized and identified at multiple levels, corresponds to the protean character of the comic.
