EXPERIÊNCIA ESTÉTICA NO TEXTO DRAMÁTICO: UM MAPEAMENTO DA LEITURA DE HAMILTON – AN AMERICAN MUSICAL

Abstract

Monologues, dialogues, skits, improvisations, epics, satires, and musicals fill stages all over the world. All this without leaving aside an essential aspect: the spectators and the experience of mobilizing an audience through narrative. In this sense, the present work intends to make a first incursion of the Aesthetic Effect Theory, proposed by Wolfgang Iser (1996a,1996b), articulated with the Mapping of Aesthetic Experience (MAPEE) proposed by Santos and Costa (2020), in a dramatic text. Furthermore, the aim was to map the author the text from the character's textual perspective.reader's aesthetic experience with The selected Broadway musical Hamilton: An American Musical corpus was the awardwinning . To do so, we surveyed the theories of the dramaturgica l field to support the reading, specifically focused on the theater, bringing the concepts of characterization, internal conflict, and external conflict. With this articulation, it was possible to perform the MAPEE heuristic to reference Iserian concepts t o the dramaturgy categories, encompassing a vast field of meanings and resignifications in the reading process. We conclude that the character is the privileged textual perspective in the dramatic text, since the conflicting relationships and tensions of the characters with each other on the narrative plane stood out as the central point of the action. Finally, we call attention to the need for new studies to be done on the dramatic genre from the perspective of reading as a communicational process between reader and text, which may reveal new contributions to literary reading practices
