Didascalia (lato sensu): voci e immagini didascaliche nelle drammaturgie moderne e contemporanee
Stage Directions (lato sensu): Voices and Images in Modern and Contemporary Dramaturgy

Summary/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.
