Summary/Abstract: Distinct from visual images, radio images and literary images figure otherwise the classical opposition between visibility and invisibility. They function as “counterimages” or “negative images” that, rather than confirm the sense of an object and isolate it (as visual images tend to do), open the field of vision to movement and to relation, to theatrical interaction and to reading.
