The Remediation Process in Hélène Gaudy’s Novel A World without a Shore (2019)
Abstract Within the theoretical framework proposed by literature theory specialists in relation to the intermediality and the remediality (Gil González & Pardo 2018) and taking into consideration the approaches of Mario Praz (1979), Roland Barthes (1980), Irene Artigas (2013) or the theoretical reflections presented by Antonio Monegal (2000) regarding the comparison between literature and others visual arts, we propose to carry out an analysis of the novel by Hélène Gaudy A world without a shore. The aim is to analyze the remediation process carried out by the author when she sets out to novel the story of three Danish explorers whose balloon disappeared in the Arctic in 1897. The original medium is made up of the 48 recovered images, in many cases really damaged, from the reels of film that were found in 1930 among the remains of the missing balloon as well as fragments of the diary of one of the explorers. The literary result is a novel in which the fiction is based on the author’s attentive gaze on these black and white images and on the incomplete texts of the newspaper. The source medium (or hypermedium) in this case is fundamentally the image, while the host medium or (hypomedium) is a novel written as a travel card, since it seems to follow the structure of the incomplete diary found. Our analysis will allow us to establish the mechanisms of representation of images in the literary word while illustrating an example of remediality: a medium, the photographs, represented and described in another medium, the literary text. One of the peculiarities is the simultaneous presence of hypermedium in the discourse woven by the author.
