ARTICLE BY FÁTIMA CHINITA INTEGRATES BOOK INTERMEDIAL ENCOUNTERS

The book Intermediate Encounters: Studies in Honour of Ágnes Pethő features an article by CIAC researcher Fátima Chinita. Titled “Speculative Affinities: From (Self -) Reflexivity to Intermediality via Mise en Abyme”, this article is a theoretical account of the convergence between cinematic self-reflection and intermediality.

Departing from the idea that the arts among themselves generate an exchange that invokes the materiality of the media and hence the self-reflexive potential of the art forms, the researcher posit that an additional meaning of in-betweenness is in order. Adapting Gilles Deleuze’s theory of the crystal-image (1985) to this intermedial context, Fatima Chinita argues in favour of an “inter-media image,” consisting of a perpetual flux of qualified media in which the mise en abyme generates a true constellation of ever-new inter-art combinations.

Intermediate Encounters: Studies in Honour of Ágnes Pethő is a publication by Scientia Kiado, the academic editor of Sapientia – Hungarian University of Transylvania.
