Fractionated look and expressionist face: the construction of the character in Samuel Rawet

Abstract:

The article aims to discuss the presence of painting and photography in the construction of the character Ida of the short story “A prece” by Samuel Rawet. We ask about the meaning of the use of various resources of painting, notably the allusions to Cubism and Expressionism, to narrate the story of the Jewish immigrant. It is questioned why she is seen and shown in a sectioned and deformed form. Based on the theories of translation and transposition between arts (Moser, Clüver, Louvel), we point to some meanings from one art to another, understanding the subject of immigration as the catalyst for many of them.
