Abstract

SMITH-DI BIASIO, Anne-Marie. "IF SUDDENLY YOU DO NOT EXIST": NERUDA/MINGHELLA; POETIC MOMENT, TRANSLATION AND THE CREATED/FOUND INTERFACE, IN TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.2, pp.147-166. ISSN 0123-5931.

Taking as its point of departure the fragment of a poem by Pablo Neruda heard in two voices in translation in a scene which is the pivot and kairos of Minghella's film Truly, Madly, Deeply, this paper proposes to show how the poetic moment, suspended between two languages, breaches the cinematic text, creating an opening through which we spiral out of narrative and out of spoken language into a place of pure reading. Our enquiry into this place will consider questions of address, both that of absent interlocutors and destined adressees. The poetic moment is suspended and hinges on the threat of a loss of meaning.

Keywords : cinema; comparative literature; psychoanalysis; text-image-music relationship; translation; intertextuality.
