The field of dramatic literature covers the traditions and history of dramatic literature in Iran and the world, as well as the principles, techniques, and methods of writing dramatic texts. Dramatic literature serves as a bridge between literature and stage performance, with a literary-dramatic approach. Given the rich Persian literature, the field of dramatic literature has great potential for growth in our country.
The goal of the dramatic literature field is to train specialists capable of writing various dramatic texts in the realm of Persian culture and to be proficient in critique, review, and research.
Students in this field should have good writing skills and precise knowledge of economics, psychology, sociology, culture, and literature of Iran and the world. They should also be patient and diligent, as writing a play can take days or even months.
About the Field
The theater performed on stage, the film shown on the cinema screen, the series watched on television or computer screen, all share one common point: the dramatic text! Without a dramatic text in any form, there would be no image! Behind every work that is performed, there is a creative mind that has presented its ideas and thoughts in the form of scenes, characters, dialogues, etc. Let’s not forget: the writer is the mastermind behind every visual work, whether fictional or non-fictional!
Dramatic literature, or dramatic writing, generally refers to those literary texts written for performance as stage theater, puppet shows, cinema, television, and mass media. In fact, anything that is provided to directors and performers as a screenplay, play, performance text, or any other form is classified as dramatic literature.
The academic field of dramatic literature is thus an interdisciplinary education that connects literature to theater, cinema, and television. The field of dramatic literature is the intersection of philosophy, literature, culture, history, theater, and media. Those who study in this field become multi-dimensional experts who, on one hand, have mastery over the culture and history of Iran, and on the other hand, are well-versed in the history of world theater and literature, while also understanding theater, cinema, and visual media correctly. Despite their familiarity with a wide range of literary and performance knowledge, they all share a common point.
