BECKETTS DRAMA - CHARLOTTA P EINARSSON KARTONIE...

Charlotta Palmstierna Einarsson takes a closer look at the often peculiar  sometimes
incongruous physical movements and gestures that characters perform in Samuel Beckett's drama 
viz. mis-movements. Sensitivity to the embodied aspects of life is topical in Beckett's drama 
but such mis-movements underwrite the intrinsic connections between sense and sense-making to
safeguard an ethics of interpretation founded on embodied cognition. Tracing Beckett's
aesthetics of gesture back to its phenomenological and embodied roots  Einarsson suggests that
the use of mis-movements in Beckett's drama is a methodological solution to the predicament of
expression that exposes the injustices done by language to audiences as embodied knowers. More
than interpretative dilemmas  mis-movements offer conduits for spectators to re-connect with
embodied experience. Thus  they are the poetic means through which an alternative ethics of
interpretation begins to emerge.
