Podwójna perspektywa. Subiektywizacja zapośredniczona w filmie
Double Perspective. Mediated Subjectivisation in the Film

Summary/Abstract: This text is dedicated to a type of film subjectivisation, which the author described as mediated. In doing so he proposed the thesis that there exists a trans-media figure of depicting the experiences of the protagonists, which in literature is realised in the form of free indirect speech, and in the film – of mediated subjectivisation. The determinants of this figure are the subjectivisation of the message upon a stylistic level and overlapping perspectives (focalisation).In order to distinguish this narration from other ways of bringing closer the perspective of the protagonist the author distinguished three types of internal focalisation in the film – narrativization, personalisation, and subjectiviation. The characteristic feature of mediated subjectivisation is the fact that the manner in which the protagonist perceives reality is “marked” by such stylistic means as the non-standard points of view of the camera, lighting, staging, colours, montage or sound. The term: “mediated”, on the other hand, indicates that narration of this sort does not create the illusion of indirect access to the internal world of the protagonists but accentuates the mediation of a certain “higher” narration level in transmitting the internal states of the protagonists. The author characterised the functions of mediated subjectivisation and indicated the manner in which it serves the process of bringing out the experiences of the protagonist.
