Literary Worlds and Deleuze contributes to debates on mimesis by
offering an 'expressionist' take on the matter of the generation of
literary worlds in drama. In examining postdramatic plays by Sarah
Kane, Martin Crimp, Caryl Churchill, and Laura Wade, the book
outlines a dynamic ontology of mimesis. Rather than pertaining to a
static ontology of 'being', expressionist mimesis is generative and
renews itself constantly without arriving at an entelechial end. In
exploring the fluxional field of forces and relations that underlie
the order of representation, expressionist mimesis is well suited
to account for the ontologically uncertain realities of
postdramatic theatre. The concepts of 'expression' and 'the event
of sense' (Gilles Deleuze) become part of a generative model that
incorporates pre-linguistic and supra-conceptual constituents
within the genesis of representation.
