I thought this item made a nice point. It questions the necessity of the element of conflict in dramatic narrative. Central to the western tradition, conflict is absent in other traditions, such as the plot structure known as kishÅtenketsu. "KishÅtenketsu contains four acts: introduction, development, twist and reconciliation." I like the concept, and think it stands well alongside the forms I grew up with and enjoy.
