Description
Debunks stereotypes about blindness, in which readers, receivers and spectators from antiquity to the present have been implicated because their persistence relies on audiences to perpetuate them. Argues for a new way of seeing – and of understanding classical reception - using assemblage-thinking and with a focus on the theatre.
