Journal Article
Conversions of Word and Kind in King Lear
2024
Overview
Throughout most of Western Christian history, conversion has been a transformative reorientation of the self toward a higher order of being. People tend to use the words conversion and transformation interchangeably, but it is important to note that the two words designate two different kinds of event. Conversion has its basis in movement. A conversion is a \"turning in position, direction, destination\". Transformation certainly often involves some kind of motion, but it is not movement based, whereas conversion is a process of reorienting oneself within a field of things, persons, practices, ideas, and discourses in terms of hearing, seeing, speaking, feeling, thinking, and touching. That makes it strongly body-based. So conversion is an embodied and spatial practice. It is also a spatial practice that changes the character of the space in which it unfolds, transforming a neutral spatial surround into a meaningful place.
