The case study focuses on the performance of two Overtures of operas and a tone poem for a concert.

The four modalities of media interact in Sturges’s film with great variety, during the rehearsal of Rossini’s Overture before the concert, or during the concert as we share the conductor’s mind busy satisfying his secret obsessions, and even, after the concert, when the material and sensorial modalities of sounds appear in the screening of objects. The main point of the transfer of these media characteristics is how they interact in the spectator’s mind; moreover, they either arouse emotions that are shared with the characters, or laughter owing to burlesque effects thus created. Unfaithfully Yours (Preston Sturges 1948) est un film complexe comportant un jeu sur le transfert des procédés d’un support médiatique à un autre. Cet article fonde sa méthodologie sur celle de Lars Elleström’s (2014), et sa présentation dans l’ouvrage dirigé par Jørgen Bruhn (2022). On trouve une grande richesse de moyens de transfert dans la comédie de Sturges car celle-ci met en scène diverses transpositions par un chef d’orchestre obsédé par la jalousie à l’égard de sa femme. Tout en dirigeant deux Ouvertures d’opéras et un poème symphonique lors de son concert, celui-ci s’exerce à la réalisation de scénarios imaginaires, lesquels comportent l’enregistrement d’une bande son. Cependant, la modalité sémiotique de tout processus de transfert d’un support médiatique à un autre implique la présence de l’énonciataire, à savoir, en ce qui concerne le film, le spectateur du spectacle audiovisuel. En effet, sans lui/elle, un tel transfert ne saurait avoir de sens ni être source d’émotions, celles-ci étant, par ailleurs, tantôt partagées avec les personnages du film, tantôt mises à distance par l’ironie d’un film à dominance burlesque. |
