Análisis comparativo del Coro como personaje en tres tragedias griega y tres dramas españoles del Corpus DraCor

Abstract

One of the founding characters of the ancient drama is the Chorus, the collective voice in front of an individualized actor. Taking the theoretical foundation of chorus as an essential element of dramaturgy, its function is compared in sex plays of two different times, authors, and geographical zones: classical Greek tragedy and the Silver Age of the Spanish theatre. The aim of this work is to study how the chorus relates to other characters through the analysis of social networks that are generated on the scene. The object of the comparative study are three Greek works: Elektra by Sophocles, Iphigenia Among the Taurians by Euripides and The Eumenides by Aeschylus, against three modern Spanish dramas: Luces de bohemia by Valle-Inclán, Yerma and La casa de Bernarda Alba by García Lorca hosted in the Drama Corpora Project (DraCor). Graph visualization and analysis are applied for their digital study.
