Each day, four participants will present their work and a cumulative discussion will follow. The objective of the seminar is rigorously to interrogate definitions and conceptions of allegory. 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.
