 None of the details in this view are settled, nor is there agreement that it is even on the right track as a way to account for what it is that spectators understand in watching a theatrical performance. Jerrold Levinson has suggested an account for musical understanding and Noël Carroll has put forth another for understanding the movies created in the Hollywood system (Levinson 1997; Carroll 1986a, 2008). Yet no alternative to the account just sketched has been set forth with respect precisely to theatrical performances.
