Reprezentarea în opera plastică, literară şi cinematografică
Representation in Painting, Literature and Cinematography

Summary/Abstract: This research undertakes to situate representation in relation to painting, literature and cinematography. Since Plato and Aristotle mimesis is the central concept in analyzing literature and aesthetics. In modern art, the spectre of representation refers to the inner world of the artist; the artist gives rise to a self-representation within which the object is disintegrated. Therefore, there is always a reconstruction and a resignification involved in the process of symbolisation. To represent is to present again – the entire history of art since the Renaissance offered different attempts of solving this assertion. The work of art is not an ordinary mimetic image, but, on the contrary, it becomes a model/ prototype for the creator who, as a representing subjectum, moves in imaginatio. Although representation creates worlds of illusion and therefore it should not be confused with the reality effects, we argue that it has provided in cinematography the existence of the so-called „le spectacle de la vérité”.
