The “Process” Category in the Analysis of Current Catalan Dramatic Literature

Abstract

Given the diversification of the forms of creation in today’s theatre — which go beyond solitary individual writing —, this article focuses on the interest in looking at the “process” category with the objective of exploring the characterisation of the most recent playwriting in depth. This exploration first addresses methodological questions with the aim of approaching the different objects and elements that can be considered when analysing the processes. Secondly, based on the data collected from diverse creators, we suggest a delimitation of diverse process models. Finally, the article examines the collective creation process of the Valencia-based company Pont Flotant, one of the most renowned in the 21st century.
