Abstract

Good Entertainment: a deconstruction of the western passion narrative presents the hidden convergence between passion and entertainment, demonstrating how both elements are historically linked. Thus, the thought of philosophers who approach the theme of the good and the beauty in the context of art was adopted by Byung-Chul Han to propose a metatheory of entertainment to explain its rise in Western society. According to this observation, the way passion and entertainment alternate as representations of the real and the fictional and their respective similarities is studied.
