Title
L’abstraction du corps dans les pièces théâtrales et radiophoniques de Samuel Beckett
Author
Abstract
Beckett’s experience with the radio medium in the 1950s and 1960s had an abstracting effect on his later works for the theatre. The body is progressively evacuated in the works for radio, whereas the voice is gradually foregrounded. Under this influence, the bodily presence is reduced in works for the stage as well. But a process of re-embodiment can be seen in the later stage plays, culminating in the ambiguity of Footfalls. Abstraction never completely eliminates the body, as it did in Beckett's radiophonic work.
