On Intermedial Interpretation

Summary/Abstract: The paper offers an interpretation of intermedial texts; an interpretation to which Andrzej Hejmej’s comparative theories serve as a basis. Such a method of interpretation may prove beneficial in understanding songs and other polymedial works in that it vastly expands the scope of meanings included into the core medium. The article focuses on analysis of three pieces from the album Gospel, namely “Bóg zapłać” (“God Bless”), “Czarne Kowboje” (“Black Cowboys”), “Zbawiciel Diesel” (“Diesel the Saviour”), released by a music group Lao Che. The studies are special developments of Hejmej’s conception since the subject of analysis is a set of lyrics, their musical layer, the singer’s voice, as well as the visual sphere—all levels combined form an unusually original and innovative transmission mode which can be sufficiently described in the intermedial context.
