DE MINGO RODRIGUEZ, Alicia Mª. La comunidad en cuestión: Un episodio de la historia moral del teatro, según Rousseau. Valenciana [online]. 2012, vol.5, n.9, pp.91-119. ISSN 2007-2538.

Community's model designed by J.-J. Rousseau, already from his Discourses of the decade of 1750, demanded that the Enlightened proposal of D'Alembert so that there was a permanent theater in Geneva was rejected by Rousseau with many different arguments in his extraordinary dense (from a historiographical point of view) Letter to M. D'Alembert on spectacles (1758). It is necessary, nevertheless, not to disregard the essence of Rousseau's critique, which he itself complicates, and to place the critique to the Theatre in a mainly symbolic dimension, as the Theater represents the sistematic art of simulation, falsehood and living lives of others very carefreely. In this case, it would separate the Person and the Community from honesty and sincerity (authenticity), that are essentials to Transparency as conditio sine qua non of Community.
