- Title
Entre fiction et vérité: la théâtralité comme mode de connaissance.
- Authors
Morissette, Jean.-François
- Abstract
In Western societies, theatre and theory are related; both imply seeing and showing. Following Samuel Weber's work Theatricality as Medium, where theatricality is defined as the ability to transform any given space into a scene onto which something - an event, a situation, an action, an idea, etc. - exposes itself before an audience and takes place in passing, this article analyzes theatricality as a mode of knowledge in which fiction and truth share a common goal, that is: to see and show the meaning - real and/ or imaginary - of individual and collective human action. The relationship between fiction and truth, which is exposed in an emblematic way in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, shows that theatricality, taken as a mean of understanding, is based on the concept of play.
