ResumoThe author critiques the view of spectacle as misrepresentation and proposes that allegory presents a possibility for redemptive readings of spectacle. In a case study of the French bicentennial commemoration of 1989 she explores how Jessye Norman's performance of Marianne—the traditional Republican allegory of French liberty—reconfigured notions of Nation in a way that served the socialist policies of Mitterand.
