| Summary |
"Introduction - Iconic and Dynamic What is transition? Transition names a process of change between objects whose properties define that transition: emotions, chords, gradients, colours, genders.1 It also names the moment, long or brief, in which such transformation occurs. To identify a transition is thus to acknowledge both the dynamic quality of a process of change and the iconic quality of a rich and recognizable moment. Further, the identification of transition appears to grant meaning: this came from that, or that must lead to this; here was the moment when everything was possible, or there was the point of no return. As a tool for the making of meaning, criticism has relied upon transition's simultaneous invocation of the iconic and the dynamic. This reliance is particularly visible in eighteenth-century writing about the theatre but is by no means limited to it"-- Provided by publisher |
