Stage Directions (lato sensu): Voices and Images in Modern and Contemporary Dramaturgy

Abstract

The subject of this study is theatrical stage directions understood in the broadest possible sense of the term (from purely linguistic forms through iconosyntactic forms to graphic forms). Drawing on a corpus of around twenty francophone and Italian dramatic works, the article analyzes various types of voices and images that appear in modern and contemporary drama: voices revealing the author’s self, implicit authorial voices, voices of coordinating instances, voices of caracters assigned to express stage directions, interrogatives and intertextual directions, iconosyntactic and iconic directions.

Keywords:

iconic and iconosyntactic directions, theatrical stage directions, contemporary and modern dramaturgy
