Summary/Abstract: The Birge Vitz study about the medieval Tales with Guts shows with the help of Schechner’s Rasaesthetics that Aristotle's Poetics is a secular, rational work in which theatricality is understood to be experienced primarily by the eyes: theatre means “place of seeing”, the connection between knowing and seeing is the root metaphor of Western thought. By contrast, the Indian Natyashastra is a sacred text, full of storytelling, active, oral and corporeal. Asian thought and guts-centered tradition influenced European Middle Ages for a considerable time, but the traces of that influence are not registered in the written culture, which was meant to pass on wisdom.
