ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 extends my theory of repetition and semantic fluidity by focusing on Beckett’s collaborations with composer Morton Feldman. Extended time, waiting and stasis were concerns that Beckett and Feldman both shared, themes that played themselves out through literary and musical repetition. The anti-opera Neither, a collaboration between the two artists, provides the main case study. Can the transmedial offer us new insights into the ways in which repetition itself enables music and literature to collide?
