| Sumario: | Both Senecan tragedy and Lucanian epic deploys a spectacular conception of
the crimes featured in them, a spectacle of horrors that only acquires existence
if a theatrical relationship is achíeved with an audience capable of fulfilling
the various possible meanings of the performance. The poetical interaction
between horror and spectacle upsets and disturbs the binding paradigm of the
Stoic hero due to the highly aesthetic way in which the murders are conceived
and the way in which their authors carry them out with the cate of true artists:
the spectacle of horror deploys itself then as aspectacular-text.
To achieve this status an active audience is required: Vulteius, Scaeva, Ulysses,
Atreus and Medea all know -each to their own extent- that their actions will
be intelligible to the posterity and will have meaning only if an audience folfils
their meaning and acknowledges them as truly communicational phenomenons. |
