Abstract: (1021 Views)
The Persian term "Namayeshnameh" meaning the play, is one of the key, frequent, and functional words in the knowledge field of theater studies, dramatic literature, and performing arts, which was created and coined instead of the foreign French word la pièce after the Iranian linguistic change and revisions by the First Academy for the Persian language founded on 1935. According to the new discourses on contemporary theater such as the theory of performance, the theater of cruelty, and post-dramatic theater, which emphasize the clear distinction between the two phenomena of the Theater and the Spectacle, this coined term, which is allied with the Persian word "namayesh" meaning spectacle, seems terminologically ineffective and inappropriate in expressing the scientific, epistemological or philosophical concepts in Persian language and will produce misunderstandings and misconceptions in scientific or philosophical discourses. Therefore, this reflective investigation, with a descriptive-analytical method and by using philosophical attitudes, while examining various aspects of "term" from the point of view of terminology and the foundations of philosophical-scientific language, has addressed the shortcomings of this word and also analyzed it with genealogy; Finally, taking into account the importance of revising the scientific and specialized terms, the alternative term "teatrenevesht" has been proposed.
Keywords: Reviewing the term drama, new discourses in theater studies, the background of drama and theater, the term theater writing.
