La reconstruction mémorielle au prisme de l’intermédialité : Cas de La Mystérieuse Flamme de la reine Loana d’Umberto Eco

Abstract

This article explores how Umberto Eco approaches the reconstruction of memory in his novel The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loanausing the concept of intermediality. Intermediality refers to the interaction between different media such as literature, images, music, etc. We aim to demonstrate how Eco integrates these diverse media to represent and reconstruct the memories of the protagonist. It highlights how the use of a variety of media influences how memories are expressed, interpreted, and understood in the context of the narrative of the protagonist’s lost identity. By analyzing the novel from this perspective, the article provides new insights into how memory reconstruction can be shaped by intermediality in the context of Umberto Eco’s work.
