Anna Sofia Rossholm (Linneaus University): 'The Screenplay and Cinematic Modernism: Ingmar Bergman’s Persona'
This paper discusses the role of the screenplay in modernist auteur cinema of the 1960s in relation to modernist aesthetics across film and literature. The various screenplays and notebooks of Ingmar Bergman’s Persona are examined as case in point for conceptualizing screenwriting as a modernist practice of fragmentation and transposition. The study is informed by perspectives of genetic criticism and postmodern textual criticism where ‘textual instability’ and ‘textual fluidity’ are keywords for understanding manuscripts and other avant-textes as a form of writing that makes the discontinuous and fragmentary dimension of a work of art as process visible.
Dr Anna Sofia Rossholm, assistant professor in Film Studies, Linneaus University, Sweden. Rossholm has published articles and a book on intermedial and transcultural relations in European cinema. She is currently working on a research project on Ingmar Bergman’s notebooks and screenplays.
