Einblicke in die Medialen Zwischenräume von Wide Sargasso Sea

Class, Monika LU orcid (2019) In Medienkomparatistik 1(1). p.149-166
Abstract
Jean Rhys’ novel Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) harnesses the media specificity of verbal text and visual image for the evocation of the ambivalence that constitutes hybrid identities. Rhys’s uses of covert intermediality do much to perform the lived experience of the Creole protagonist’s degeneration as they allow for the imitation of the deterioration of both her sensory perception and visibility. The intermedial representation of her interiority depends on a series of ekphrasis that resists closure and appeals to readers to favour dissent over consent.
