Histoire littéraire
L'histoire littéraire est la discipline qui étudie l'évolution de la littérature à la lumière des courants littéraires et des relations entre littérature et histoire. En premier lieu, il faut faire la distinction entre l’« histoire de la Littérature » et l’« histoire littéraire ». D’une part, l’histoire de la Littérature évoque les évolutions de la Littérature au travers d’écrivains qui ont marqué leurs siècles par leurs œuvres ou les formes qu’elles empruntaient.
Pièce de théâtre
Une pièce de théâtre est une œuvre destinée à être jouée durant une représentation théâtrale, la plupart du temps écrite selon des règles de la littérature dramatique. Dans ce but, le texte est essentiellement constitué de dialogues entre les personnages, ainsi que, le cas échéant, d'indications concernant la mise en scène, les didascalies : décor, localisation géographique, ambiance lumineuse et sonore, gestuelle des personnages (avec des cas limites puisque certaines pièces sont composées sans dialogue verbal, par exemple les Actes sans paroles de Samuel Beckett).
Twentieth-century theatre
Twentieth-century theatre describes a period of great change within the theatrical culture of the 20th century, mainly in Europe and North America. There was a widespread challenge to long-established rules surrounding theatrical representation; resulting in the development of many new forms of theatre, including modernism, expressionism, impressionism, political theatre and other forms of Experimental theatre, as well as the continuing development of already established theatrical forms like naturalism and realism.
Dramatic theory
Dramatic theory (δράμα dráma „plot“, θεωρία theōría „sight, spectacle“) attempts to form theories about theatre and drama. Drama is defined as a form of art in which a written play is used as basis for a performance. Dramatic theory is studied as part of theatre studies. Drama creates a sensory impression in its viewers during the performance. This is the main difference from both poetry and epics, which evoke imagination in the reader. Dramatic theory was already discussed in the Antiquities p.e.
Arts

Les arts représentent une forme de l'expression du vivant, généralement influencée par la culture et entraînée par une impulsion créatrice. Les arts font partie du ressenti et de la subjectivité, c'est pourquoi une définition finie n'est pas possible.
Acting
Acting is an activity in which a story is told by means of its enactment by an Actor who adopts a character—in theatre, television, film, radio, or any other medium that makes use of the mimetic mode. Acting involves a broad range of skills, including a well-developed imagination, emotional facility, physical expressivity, vocal projection, clarity of speech, and the ability to interpret drama. Acting also demands an ability to employ dialects, accents, improvisation, observation and emulation, mime, and stage combat.
Agôn
Dans la Grèce antique, le terme agôn (en grec ancien , parfois transcrit agōn ou simplement agon) désigne au sens strict toute forme de compétition ou de joute oratoire ; dans les domaines artistiques ou sportifs, l’agôn est un concours organisé à l'occasion de célébrations religieuses. C'est aussi, au sens large, l'esprit de compétition qui anime tant les artistes que leurs commanditaires et les citoyens entre eux. Lagôn est un concept fondamental de la littérature grecque antique.
Comedy (drama)
Comedy is a genre of dramatic performance having a light or humorous tone that depicts amusing incidents and in which the characters ultimately triumph over adversity. For ancient Greeks and Romans, a comedy was a stage-play with a happy ending. In the Middle Ages, the term expanded to include narrative poems with happy endings and a lighter tone. In this sense Dante used the term in the title of his poem, the Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia).
Stanislavski's system
Stanislavski's system is a systematic approach to training actors that the Russian theatre practitioner Konstantin Stanislavski developed in the first half of the twentieth century. His system cultivates what he calls the "art of experiencing" (with which he contrasts the "art of representation"). It mobilises the actor's conscious thought and will in order to activate other, less-controllable psychological processes—such as emotional experience and subconscious behaviour—sympathetically and indirectly.
Drama
Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance: a play, opera, mime, ballet, etc., performed in a theatre, or on radio or television. Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's Poetics (c. 335 BC)—the earliest work of dramatic theory. The term "drama" comes from a Greek word meaning "deed" or "act" (Classical Greek: δρᾶμα, drâma), which is derived from "I do" (Classical Greek: δράω, dráō).
