About this book
This book argues that the apophatic continues to exert a strong influence on the discourse and culture of Western literature and especially performance, and th
at by reassessing this ancient form of negative epistemology, artists, scholars, students, and teachers alike can more deeply engage forms of unknowing through what cannot be said and cannot be represented in language, on the stage, and in every aspect of social life.
