All this perspective started from Barthes' reflections in Camera Lucida.
And the enphasis puut on the eye perspectives (therefore the visual texts
of the mind).
No?

I'm not sure I follow this. Are you referring +AF8-only+AF8- to how a text is read?
Both the metaphor work and the sound/rhythm work I referred to form part of
'second generation cognitivism' (horrid phrase+ACE-), which from the 1970s
onwards moves away from mind/body dualisms and from treating language as a
system of discrete symbolic operands.
I tacked on the issue of vision because I dimly remember specific work done
(comparable to that within phonetics) on how lines of text are perceived and
apprehended. But there's also the issue (Cf Paul Saenger, for example) of
how the change to lineation (where poetry is concerned) may be a reflex of
the growth of silent reading.
