Der Künstler im Sanatorium. Stimmen aus verschiedenen Epochen und Medien am Beispiel von Thomas Mann und Paolo Sorrentino
The purpose of the present essay is to explore the theme of plurilinguismus from a broad perspective, so that language can be understood as a variety of semiotic possibilities. In particular, I’ll concentrate on the literary genre of the sanatorium works by Thomas Mann, i.e. both novels and short stories, and I’ll compare it with its latest developments, such as Paolo Sorrentino’s film Youth (2015). The aim of this intermedial comparison is to stress all the common aspects, which are particularly significant as regards multilingualism and also the representation and conception of artists. Moreover, the specific context of sanatoriums leads these characters to the search for identity, especially through the communicative power of words, but also of other semiotic systems, like music or cinema.
