Personification, allegory's most recognizable form, actually gestures to a topological presence of something other which appears by virtue of a persona or mask. Allegories have been illustrated in manuscripts and books as well as in independent works of art. Since at least late antiquity, allegory has had a strong presence as a hermeneutic mode of literary and art criticism. The theatre provides yet another form which is equally spatial and temporal in the representation of something other than what appears.
Papers addressing any allegorical medium are welcome.
