Abstract:

The study seeks to investigate intermedial phenomena in Benedek Totth’s novel Holtverseny (Dead Heat), paying particular attention to uncovering the intermedial meaning network of the novel and examining the extent to which media determine narrative. The analysis of the novel is mainly based on the theory of intermediation by Werner Wolf, and begins with an examination of the phenomenon of mediatedness by media and the effects of popular culture. Then, through exploring some of the key motifs and narrato-poetic peculiarities of the novel, the study examines the role of interart phenomena and imitation. Finally, it examines the function of these phenomena in the description of the environment, the dynamics of the plot, and last but not least, the self-image of the narrator and the characters, and their distortions in the description.

Keywords: intermediality, literature and film, thematization and imitation, individual/collective identity

Our profile

Partitúra is a Hungarian literary journal published in Slovakia twice a year. The first edition was issued in 2006. From 2007 to 2014 its publishers were the Faculty of Central European Studies at The Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra in cooperation with Sambucus Literary Society. Since 2014 the Faculty of Central European Studies at the CPU in Nitra became the sole publisher.

The journal releases peer-reviewed scientific articles, literary studies and art reviews of both Hungarian as well as world literature. It is also a forum for essays on several other arts and intercultural relations. Furthermore, special attention is devoted to the Central European literature and literary studies; the magazine not only publishes the reviews of such studies, but also provides the arena for reflections about them. The journal aims to give an account of the contemporary Hungarian literature of the Hungarian minorities as well as to serve as a cluster for discourses.

As for the structure of the paper, it is usually divided into three main sections. The first part generally deals with the translation of an important foreign abstract literary study. It is followed by the heading of Scientific Studies and the Columns of Critical Analysis. Partitúra regularly publishes thematic abstracts by authors, genres, as well as a literary and artistic phenomenon in focus.
