  • Abstract: Dictionary of Maqiao denounces the institutionalised power of words, the fossilisation of language and the claim of dictionary to completeness. Il insistes on values of personal uses, situations of enunciation and language in its dynamic evolution. Through the practice of the spatialisation of the text, the author wants to make a fictional world outside the linear causality that takes the indeterminacy, the insignificant, the fantastic and the non-serious into account.
