Abstract

In lieu of abstract, here is the first paragraph of the article:

A note on the text. Alan Read's contribution to 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: Fifty Years On' was a perfomance in which a version of this paper was delivered in conjunction with a synchronised video montage which variously extended, complemented and commented on the ideas he presented. While it is not possible to find a textual equivalent for the video-text and performance elements which played such a substantial role in the penultimate session of the day, we have tried to retain a flavour of the experience when translating performance into text.
