Dramaturgy Definitions

Dramaturgy: is the art of dramatic composition and the representation of the main elements of drama on the stage. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dramaturgy)

Dramaturgy: the art or technique of dramatic composition and theatrical representation
(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dramaturgy)

Dramaturgy is also an art of revisiting and reconstituting, notably when the material has already had an existence as a theatrical or performance text, and is being reproduced. In such circumstances, it is more likely that dramaturgy will be exercised by individuals, who will not necessarily be named as dramaturgs.

Dramaturgical perspective is one of several sociological paradigms separated from other sociological theories because it does not examine the cause of human behavior but the context. In this sense, dramaturgy is a process which is determined by consensus between individuals. (http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Dramaturgy_%28sociology%29#Dramaturgical_perspective)
