An interesting word came to us on the net. He is known only by one meaning, and yet he has two of them. In addition, the one that is now forgotten or almost not used is completely unexpected. Today we are considering the following question: “staging” - what is it? Surely the reader will be surprised when the cards are revealed.
Meaning
If you pronounce the word that we are analyzing today, then the associative series will go: “pretense”, “image”, “fake”, “copy”, “draw”. We apologize at once to the reader, but some of these nouns will fall into synonyms when we get to them. So far, the main thing is the meaning of the word "staging". In order for the meanings of a word to cascade, it is necessary to open an explanatory dictionary - we will do that, especially since it is not difficult:
- Staged work, performance.
- Same as staging.
A curious situation: the first meaning is closed on itself, and the second does not reveal the essence. Let's in that caseconsider the infinitive to which the dictionary refers. We need to know: staging - what is it? In fact, that's what we're here for. The dictionary interprets the infinitive as follows:
- Adapted for theater or film or TV production.
- Pretend to portray.
It is easy to guess that the first meaning is direct, the second is figurative. If you think about it, language reveals interesting facets of the phenomenon of pretense: when someone pretends to faint, fear or love, he turns life into a stage. This seems to be the meaning of the verb and the noun.
Screening and other synonyms
Now let's see what replacements the dramatization has. Their value is difficult to overestimate, because, as a rule, everyone needs synonyms and always. Moreover, the object of study sounds unusual in everyday speech. So let's look at the list:
- screen adaptation;
- draw.
- staging;
- forgery;
- pretending.
We managed not to repeat ourselves in synonyms, we hope the reader appreciates the variety. Here I would like to know why the word is not used so widely. Synonyms give the answer: because there are nouns "staging" for theater and "screening" for cinema. And "staging" is something that goes either to a person's everyday life, when someone portrays what he does not experience, or to the detective genre, where murders are investigated.
Why is a dramatization necessary?
Good question, the main thing is that it continues the line of narration that was outlined in the previous section, when we casually mentioned the staging of murders or kidnappings. Do you know what connects real life and cinematic life? Benefit. Staging is something that pursues profit. In the film, a person imitates death or kidnapping for a specific purpose, which one way or another closes on money. There are quite a few specific examples, the reader knows these plots: a young man hates his father, so he fakes his own kidnapping in order to shock his rich dad properly. Sometimes the same development of events, but in the center - murder.
When someone feigns feelings that he does not experience, this can also be called a staging, and the goal is the same - money or other benefits. If a young girl imitates love for an old man, then altruistic intentions are clearly not the engine of the relationship. Do you think we're judging anyone here? No, our task is to find a good illustration for the object of study.
Is it possible to stage without moral connotations?
It is clear that now we do not mean either the adaptation of the work, or the staging of the work in the theater. It's about when people portray what is not. A prank, if made to laugh, can probably be harmless. Although, if you recall the various situations in which celebrities were deliberately put in the "Joke" program, such tests cannot be called good.
There is always a plus in the vagueness of a question. Where there is empty spaceoptions are always possible. Therefore, the reader himself may consider whether a harmless pretense is possible.
