Poetic Images, Presence, and the Theater of Kenotic Rituals

« This book explores the interrelation of contemporary French theatre and poetry.
Using the pictorial turn in the various branches of art and science, its observable features, and the theoretical framework of the conceptual metaphor, this study seeks to gather together the divergent manners in which French poetry and theatre address this turn. Poetry in space and theatricality of poetry are studied alongside theatre, especially to the performative aspect of the originally theological concept of "kenosis". »
