Allegory and the combustion of representation
pp. 9-27
Abstract
The references that you will find in this text are precise: there is a main theoretical setting, somewhat external to Shakespeare, given to us by Walter Benjamin, at the beginning of the twentieth century, with his figure of the allegory, and that given by Gilles Deleuze, at the end of the same century, with the concept of the "crystal of time."
