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
