English term or phrase: flashback
Definition from Bedford/St. Martin's:
A narrated scene that marks a break in the narrative in order to inform the reader or audience member about events that took place before the opening scene of a work.

Example sentence(s):
  • Convoluted flashback structures are not only intellectually based, they tend to distance the viewer from that 'simple reality' they come to the movies to enjoy. It is no surprise that many great movies with complicated or innovative flashback structures were not particularly popular, not crowd-pleasers. DVDTalk.com
  • It is true that flashbacks can make the majority of the story confusing, but the concept is a bit like putting a puzzle together - you're not really sure where each piece fits or what the picture really looks like until the very end. Therein lies the payoff. streetdirectory.com
  • The flashback should be prompted by an incident, dialog, or intense action which brings a vivid memory to the character. Helium.com

flashback


Definition from Wikipedia:
I diverse kunstformer, bl.a. film eller bøger, anvendes flashbacks til f.eks. at fortælle en figurs tidligere oplevelser, eventuelt med relevans for den aktuelle situation eller plottet. Også anvendt på teatret, f.eks. i Kjeld Abells Anna Sophie Hedvig (1939).

Example sentence(s):
  • flashback, (af eng. flash glimt + back tilbage), inden for film handlingsindskud, der i tid ligger forud for hovedhandlingen. - Gyldendals åbne encyklopædi  
  • Filmen kan også være ét langt flashback med en rammefortælling om. Sådan er "Titanic" f.eks. opbygget. Her får vi hele historien om skibets undergang, fortalt af den gamle kvinde, der var ombord. - dr.dk/Skole-medier  
  • Jeg har et lille problem jeg håber der er nogen der kan hjælpe mig med! Jeg skal skrive en novelle hvor der skal indgå et eller flere flashback, men jeg kan slet ikke huske hvordan det er man laver det. Hvordan laver man en overgang til et flashback? - Studieportalen
