Reflexivity in Film and Literature: from Don Quixote to Jean-Luc Godard
Title
Reflexivity in Film and Literature: from Don Quixote to Jean-Luc Godard
Subject
reflextivity, creating illusion, film and literature, fictional constructs
Description
The 'reflexive tradition' in film and literature calls attention to fictional constructs, such as when realist narrative is interrupted to point to the mechanisms in the art. Protagonists step out of character to address the reader, for example, or the camera draws back to show a microphone in front of an actor's face.
