The Issa Valley: Spiritual autobiography and “film-memory”
Languages of publication
Abstracts
The article deals with the novel The Issa Valley, written by the Nobel laureate in literature Czesław Miłosz, and its eponymous film adaptation by film director Tadeusz Konwicki. Both authors were born in the region of today’s Lithuania, which, with its intact natural environment and ancient folk beliefs, left a strong mark on their childhoods. In the present novel or film, the authors narrate their childhood through fragmentary memories, which are transformed by fiction, and through representations of thoughts: while Miłosz narrates his own childhood, Konwicki transforms the novel into film and shows the story through audio-visual images, at the same time also exposing himself in the role of author. With a chronotope analysis, and based on the anthropological-morphological method of film analysis, the contribution presents the methods of verbal and audio-visual representation of an adult-narrator memory on the landscape of his home region and on the time of childhood as well as defining the discussed works with the categories spiritual autobiography and „film-memory”.
