TY - JOUR TI - Visual Narrativity and the Creation of a Text World – A Semiotic Study of Selected Cases of Transmediality AU - Chrzanowska-Kluczewska, Elżbieta TI - Visual Narrativity and the Creation of a Text World – A Semiotic Study of Selected Cases of Transmediality AB - The paper, from the field of broadly conceived text studies, focuses on those aspects of the visual arts that bear a storytelling potential, on analogy to verbal texts. My interest lies mainly in the field of artistic semiotics, that is in the texts marked with aesthetic qualities. The attention will go mainly to figural painting and sculpture due to their potential to show events as evolving in time. Thus, I intend to consider the manner in which narrativization as a widely recognized cognitive propensity of the human mind to impose structure upon reality and best realized in verbal storytelling is applicable to pictorial representations and how it takes part in the construction of visual possible worlds/visual text worlds. This article is thus a contribution to semiotic research in intermediality and transmediality in interart relations.
