Verbatim quote · defining passage

“That a scene must be organized around some mimetic crisis—actual, imminent, anticipated, simulated as a kind of rehearsal—which the sign constitutive of the scene frames and defers sharpens the question: how and when do we know when a scene has been closed and what does this knowledge consist of?”
