Narracja subiektywna zapośredniczona. Wokół zagadnienia „mowy pozornie zależnej” w filmie
Journal Title: Studia Europaea Gnesnensia - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue
Abstract
The paper is devoted to mediated subjective narrative which, according to the author, constitutes the filmic manifestation of a transmedial textual figure which functions in literature as free indirect speech. Theorists of cinema. such as Pier Paolo Pasolini or Gilles Deleuze, did address the cinematic free indirect discourse on several occasions, but a methodologically consistent description of the issue is still lacking. The author suggests two markers of that category: 1) subjectivization of communication on a stylistic level and 2) interference of external and internal focalization. Here, the manner in which perception and consciousness of the protagonist are manifested in the narrative is considered a distinctive trait of that textual figure. Unlike the “classic” subjective narration, mediated subjective narrative not so much reproduces but imitates the perception of the protagonist; it does not create the illusion of direct access to their inner world but underscores the mediation of a different subject in communicating mental states of the characters. Consequently, in pictures such as The Dancing Hawk or The Cremator, the relationship between the viewpoint of the protagonist and the perspective of the superordinate narrative consciousness is equivocal and can oscillate between identification and ironic distance. In many respects, mediated subjective narrative resembles the free indirect discourse in literature, but the medium of film modifies it substantially, chiefly due to the its multisemiotic nature. This description of mediated subjective narrative introduces an order into the methodological chaos associated with the haphazard use of the notion of “cinematic free indirect speech”, but also casts a new light on representations of subjectivity in cinema.
