Psicossomáticos

Poetic language can compel the reader to co-operate physically:

"...each line is like a dancer who, if you are going to read the line at all, forces you to be a partner and dance... You can pronounce the line as silently as you like, but that launching of the inner self into full kinaesthetic participation is, so to speak, compulsory."

Stephe Harrop, "Physical Performance and the Language of Translation, in Theorising Performance, Greek Drama, Cultural History and Critical Practice, p.238.
