Bringing Authoritative Models to Computational Drama (Encoding Knebel’s Action Analysis)

Maria Knebel is one of the most influential scholars in the field of Drama Analysis. Her work with Stanislavsky has been foundational in the history of theatre: she devised the method of Action Analysis to read the play as a score of actions to be executed by the actors. This paper aims at encoding Knebel\u2019s principles in a formal representation using a computational ontology (Drammar) to prove its expressiveness and to test its efficacy in a production point of view. As an example we use Knebel\u2019s analysis of Pogodin\u2019s Kremlin Chimes

Metadata annotation for dramatic texts

This paper addresses the problem of the metadata annotation for dramatic texts. Metadata for drama describe the dramatic qualities of a text, connecting them with the linguistic expressions. Relying on an ontological representation of the dramatic qualities, the paper presents a proposal for the creation of a corpus of annotated dramatic texts.Questo articolo affronta il problema dell’annotazione di metadati per i testi drammatici. I metadati per il dramma descrivono le qualità drammatiche di un testo, connettendole alle espressioni linguistiche. Basandosi su una rappresentazione ontologica delle qualità drammatiche, l’articolo presenta una proposta per la creazione di un corpus di testi drammatici annotati
