THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BODY AND EMOTION: CORPOREAL NARRATOLOGY VERSUS LOVE AS A METAPHOR IN THE WORKS OF TONI MORRISON, SUSAN SONTAG AND SARAH PERRY

Summary/Abstract: The original sacred time has nowadays become a communication that connects common actions for fulfillment that connect the body to the emotion. To escape the present crisis of identity, man eagerly seeks a place of spiritual life under the sign of togetherness. Compelled by history, man is aware of the impossibility of solitary survival. Using the power of the metaphor and of the (master) narrative, we are introduced to three different renderings of love. These universes are set metaphorically speaking, on different theatrical stages and in unique temporal spaces that are painted in prose by three different female writers: Toni Morrison, Susan Sontag and Sarah Perry. They come from different backgrounds, different cultures, share different perspectives and experiences. Each rendering offers a microcosmic window on love and the connection between body and emotion. Using the master narrative and the metaphor, love is the key for opening each universe.
