Keywords: Virginia Woolf; Sally Potter; Orlando; gender; social-cultural identity;
Summary/Abstract: The present study examines the relationship between narration and reflection in the medial versions of Orlando. The correspondences and differences of the narrative specificities of the novel and film draw the attention to the problem of identity. The rhetoric, the language of Virginia Woolf's novel subvert the social-cultural identity based on the binary opposition between the sexes. The adaptation of the novel, through its self-reflective strategies, focuses on the relationship between identity and narration, treating the problem of identity as a narrative aspect of the film.
