On the other, the essence of the pilgrim's vision is produced as the human interacts (or rather, intra-acts) with God in the timeless and placeless Empyrean. Diffraction becomes then not only a conceptual tool to understand the entanglement of Dante and God in Paradiso 33 (the content of the canto) but of the formal deployment of its description. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
