Abstract

The starting point is the understanding of the dramatic text as literary text, thus it could be analyzed with methodologies coming from literary studies: the dramatic text is literature, creation of language and it can be read and interpreted as such. Of course I acknowledge the text’s performativity, implicit in its characteristic and functions. The analysis of Enrico IV (1921) constitutes a practical application of the proposal and the opportunity for opening the discussion to new perspectives.
