Inner Song or the Path to Resilience in Literature and Film: A Multifaceted Look at Humming

Abstract

Secret, intimate, buried, the inner song occurs when the cursed character is condemned to silence, in a hostile context, filled with humiliation, bullying or intimidation. In film, as in literature, the closedmouth inner song (humming) is synonymous with resilience when it is part of a process of adaptation, resistance or reconstruction. The search for consensus, the implementation of a strategy of resistance (or even provocation) and the quest for reconstruction in the face of the ravages of one’s own demons are the three avenues that this article proposes to explore in order to account for the potentially universal uses of closed-mouth singing in a hostile environment.

Keywords:
