【 摘 要 】

We will reveal the concept of alternating syntagm as an important feature of cinematic narrative made possible by a certain arrangement off rames during the montage. In the first part of this article we apply the concept as suggested by Rebecca Leydon (2001) to show that analogous situations can be identified in the music of Debussy's late period by using a representative sample: episodes in the second piece of the work En blanc et noir derived from a textural analysis that is based on Wallace Berry’s theories (1987). This analytical approach will allow us to discuss in the second part of the article the possibility of establishing analogies between Debussy’s works and silent film, within the context of the period of question, comparing Leydon’s proposal to Scott Paulin (2010) criticism on this subject. The discussion calls attention to the correlation between artistic media tending to imitate the thought processes of the early twentieth century.
