Description

The book focuses on two perspectives: the scenological and the literary, and the visions of the spectator and those of the reader. If we refer to the spectator as the one who sees, the orientation is in the angle of the scene, but when the invocations happen in the field of the dramatic text or of different experiences of literature, another central figure appears, that of the reader. The one who reads literature is also a spectator. So what relationships and differences are established in the dynamics of spectators and readers? If this spectator/reader is absent or not perceptible, does the cultural model of the scenic or literary representation in which both are assumed make sense? Is the spectator a real body, and is the reader an invisible body? Or are these bodies just two entities of meaning that modernity has forged to connote its cultural stability?
