Abstract
Many of those who dedicated some effort investigating the wide and complex field of the subsystems of audio-visual communication assume, as evident and basic, spatial compo-nent of the image and they scarcely detain to study the theoretical consequences carried out and, much less, the scientific foundations on which it must rely. In fact the theory of the story has still to provide a suitable and sufficient explanation of the space in the audio-visual representation. Proba-bly this lack has to do with the fact that the scientific studies of the story were initially arising and developing in the field of the linguistic researches. The praiseworthy attempt of generating a capable conceptual instrumentation able to confront the analysis of the story�s deep structure with scientific guarantees could not fit among its constitutive elements to the action special determinations. But, in my opinion, the deeper reason has to do with the concept of space used by the majority of the narration researchers, structuralists or not, and it seems to derive from Clarke and Newton�s scientific-philosophic theories. Under this perspective the space stays beyond any action and, at the same time, apart from the human beings who inhabit it: a difficult conception to sustain, not only from a modern physics point of view but also from the current physiology and psychology knowledge.
