The functions of cinematographic techniques in the novella by Yu. N. Tynyanov „The wax person“
This article opens another philosophical source that has influenced the theory of formal school. It is the vitalism conception of Anri Bergson. Bergson uses a metaphor of cinematography which captures separate moments of reality – shots to illustrate mechanism of human perception. The later novels of Tynianov (mind his interest in the cinema) often invoke analogies with cinema and texts of screenplays. Proximity to cinematography becomes apparent when we see the characters’ perception of reality. With the help of montage composition Tynianov achieves the ability to recreate the illusion of length, i.e. to make a work of art closer to a constantly moving and changing reality.

Keywords: Yu. Tynianov, A. Bergson and theory of formal school, cinematographic perception, montage composition.

The paper argues that looking at masculinity can serve as a clue to the complex nature of subject-narrator relationship in the novel.
