As the original questioner on the topic of of diegetic, I'm extremely thankful for all the elucidating responses - I certainly did not expect so many! I feel I now have a solid understanding on the diegetic concept and excellent references to pursue further investigation. Just one last question: how is it pronounced? My guess is just like it looks: die-ghetic. If someone could let me know, I think I'll be pretty up on the diegetic "thang." Thanks for all your responses - that's what these listserv's are all about! Wm. R. Pace ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems?
