Dutch translation of the essay “The Diegetic Look. Pragmatics of the Point-of-View Shot”, which appeared in the international film journal Iris in 1986. This essay considers the POV shot as a POV structure or pattern. Indeed, it considers it as a unit of the cinematic language, composed by more than one single shot and functioning as a textual node (Umberto Eco) in the production of meaning of a narrative film, where the spectator's inferential activity is most stimulated and waited. Analyzing two significant moments from The Wrong Man (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956) and The Nutty Professor (Jerry Lewis, 1963), it shows for the first time that the POV structure possibilities extend beyond the subjectivity of the looking character’s “point of view”. On the contrary, a POV structure can operate through more complex processes than just a generic spectator’s “psychological identification” with the character, to such an extent that quite the opposite can occur.

Abstract

Dutch translation of the essay “The Diegetic Look. Pragmatics of the Point-of-View Shot”, which appeared in the international film journal Iris in 1986. This essay considers the POV shot as a POV structure or pattern. Indeed, it considers it as a unit of the cinematic language, composed by more than one single shot and functioning as a textual node (Umberto Eco) in the production of meaning of a narrative film, where the spectator's inferential activity is most stimulated and waited. Analyzing two significant moments from The Wrong Man (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956) and The Nutty Professor (Jerry Lewis, 1963), it shows for the first time that the POV structure possibilities extend beyond the subjectivity of the looking character’s “point of view”. On the contrary, a POV structure can operate through more complex processes than just a generic spectator’s “psychological identification” with the character, to such an extent that quite the opposite can occur.
