Abstract
Poststructuralist art and interdisciplinary approaches to science have contributed to a growing interest among researchers for intermediality between literature and music. Intermediality theories point to three fundamental forms of fusion between literature and music: music within literature; literature within music; and, music and literature. The monomedial variant, i.e., music within literature, is the most delicate of all three variants. Though media boundaries objectively remain in existence, influencing mutual relations and their effects, products of intermediality remain of interest for literary and aesthetic history as explicit symptoms of going beyond such boundaries and as attempts to overcome traditional limitations.
This paper explores the intermediality of a monomedial case, Berenice’s Hair, a novel by Nedjeljko Fabrio, subtitled "Familienfuge", to lead us towards its music features. Results of analysis reveal a higher intensity of the effects of the "shown" model in the function of musicalisation of fiction, compared to the analogue points of the two media located at their structural level(s).
