Trumpets and Orange Days: Synaesthesia in Film
- 1. TRUMPETS AND ORANGE-COLOURED DAYS Inferences, associations and synaesthesia in filmic text Janina Wildfeuer Faculty of Linguistics and Literary Sciences Bremen University, Germany
- 2. 2 Starting point • how is meaning constructed crossmodally? • how do we interpret/infer the intersemiotic interplay of the modalities?
- 3. 3 Starting point „Cinema can give us much more than Rimbaudian correspondences […], it can create a veritable intersensory reciprocity.“ Chion 1994: 134 „In der Bewältigung der polyphonie informationelle – wie Barthes dieses Zusammenspiel sehr anschaulich genannt hat – bringt der Zuschauer sich selbst ins Spiel, sein Gefühl dafür, wie die verschiedenartigen Reize zusammenhängen, die über Auge und Ohr in ihn einziehen.“ Flückiger 2001: 137
- 4. 4 Intersensory perception – synchretism – synaesthesia „The perception of films, like natural perception, is both synesthetic and synoptic […].“ Plantinga 2009: 141 „Alternatively, one might argue that all cinema is synaesthetic, because in lived experience the senses have a way of skirting the hierarchies and divisions we use to define and explain them.“ Barker 2008: 236f.

- 6. 6 Analysing Filmic Textuality: Segmented Film Discourse Representation Structures THEORIE DES FILMVERSTEHENSLOGIC OF FILM DISCOURSE INTERPRETATION 1. level of identification and arrangement of the meaning-making entities 2. level of coherence and structure 1. logic 2. logic constructing logical forms of discourse relating the logical forms via discourse relations Wildfeuer 2013

- 9. 9 "Dear Mrs. Wells, we recently recovered a mailbag that was lost in a plane crash on October 12th 1969 on Mont Blanc. We are forwarding the enclosed letter to your address.

- 13. 13 Relating the logical forms via discourse relations "Darling Mado, I'm in exile. I can't sleep, can't eat. I think of you endlessly. I know I've made the biggest mistake of my life. I turned down that woman's money. If all goes well, I'll soon be able to afford a house. I dream of better times ahead when you'll forgive me and join me here one orange-coloured day. Your ever-loving Adrien.

- 17. 17 Synaesthesia and audiovisual perception „Object recognition and identification are goal directed tasks in which perceptual systems parse sensory inputs into salient cues, group these cues together into perceptual objects, and assign them to categories.“ Seeley 2012: 501f. „The results of this study suggests that sound affects processing at the level of the „visual“ cortex.“ Shams et al. 2004: 30
