Resumen de Du rôle de la phantasia au théâtre et dans le roman

M. Richir

• Husserl distinguishes clearly between imagination (Einbilfung) and Phantasie, for which we will use the Greek phantasia; the former involves an intentionally represented (either concretely or in the mind) object, which therefore has a kind of presence, whereas the latter is diverse, changing, and above all exists without any kind of presence. The way the public understands the actor to represent a character therefore depends on phantasia (because the actor is not an imagined character, nor is he himself when acting badly); and the reading of novels, even more so.
