Imago in Fabula. Intraidigetic image in literature and cinema. Zenkin S.

In the literature of the XIX-XX centuries, and later in the cinema, plots are not uncommon, where a visual image-for example, a picture or sculpture-becomes an equal acting face of the narrative. Heroes see the image and enter into complex, sometimes even conflicting relationships with him: love, fear, obsession, etc. The book of Sergey Zenkin talks about such images, deeply introduced into the narrative and called intraudothygetic called the author. He addresses the masterpieces of literature and cinema from Pushkin and Wilde to Fellini and Antonioni to show how the development of these images in modern culture may indicate important changes in the techniques and tasks of artistic narrative, as well as the practices of visual arts.
