what
is being represented in our five works?
the Sims Œsimulation¹?
Richard¹s dismay about his sovereignty ~ power, speech, physical
presence, his standing for England (an issue of political representation)
Lévi-Strauss¹s self-conscious reflection back upon
himself, the Œintertextuality¹ of TT
Crito - a conversation in a prison cell?
the acute observation in the Pillow Book, the lists, the
artifice, and their relation to genres of diary and poetry - hardly representational in a
naturalistic sense
