- W2037329384 abstract "W H E N T H E A U T H O R O F the twelfth-century religious play known as theJeu d'Adam rewrote the Eden of Genesis for performance, he presented the Fall of Man as both cause and effect of what he conceived to be the natural antagonism of male and female. Acting out the origins of that antagonism, the Old French Adam play thus offers the earliest known mimetic etiology of what in more modern terms has been called the flagrant incompatibility and permanent warfare of the sexes.' But how could our adapter have imagined an original Fall from perfection as both introducing, and resulting from, male-female agonism? As it happens, this contradiction is expectable, even inevitable. Not only because the reciprocal substitution of cause and effect (metalepsis) is a common trope in the metaphorics of the unconscious, but also because the substitution in question here is no more than the local enactment of a more basic, habitual dialectic in Western thought and representation. To name it in literary terms, that dialectic could be called the conflict of narrative and drama if we take these terms not in the narrow sense of diegesis versus mimesis (by which poetics distinguishes literary genres and conventions), but rather as the playing out, in literary art, of the competition (or continuum) in psychoanalytic theory between primaryand secondary-process signification. In primary-process representation (as in the Adam play), the ordinary space-time, linear-causal logic of consciousness (and of narrativity as traditionally conceived) is bypassed and undone by the skips and lapses that more regularly mark the (sporadically logomimetic) signifying processes of dream and drama-drama, that is, as the name of those affects that characterize playinglike, acting (or acting out) the impossible narratives of the Other. For the discussion at hand it is not necessary to explore in detail this particular area of conceptual overlap between psychoanalytic and theory; the point in that overlap I do wish to explore concerns the metaleptic moment mentioned above. Thus intersecting rhetoric and psychology, my hypothesis is that the dramatization of the Fall in theJeu d'Adam was able to achieve its much admired dramatic" @default.
