This volume examines whether dramatic fragments should be
approached as parts of a greater whole or as self-contained
entities. It comprises contributions by a broad spectrum of
international scholars: by young researchers working on fragmentary
drama as well as by well-known experts in this field. The volume
explores another kind of fragmentation that seems already to have
been embraced by the ancient dramatists: quotations extracted from
their context and immersed in a new whole, in which they work both
as cohesive unities and detachable entities. Sections of poetic
works circulated in antiquity not only as parts of a whole, but
also independently, i.e. as component fractions, rather like
quotations on facebook today. Fragmentation can thus be seen
operating on the level of dissociation, but also on the level of
cohesion. The volume investigates interpretive possibilities,
quotation contexts, production and reception stages of fragmentary
texts, looking into the ways dramatic fragments can either increase
the depth of fragmentation or strengthen the intensity of cohesion.
