Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to introduce the now well-established discipline of film adaptations of literary works and, more broadly, the relationship between literature and film through theory, with an emphasis on literary theory. The starting point will be the development of reflections on the relationship between verbal and audiovisual narratives (through borrowings, narrative strategies, and thematic inspiration), ranging from formalist, semiological, and conceptual approaches, through approaches inspired by the theory of fictional worlds, to the understanding of adaptation as a distinct act (Hutcheon).
The ability to critically evaluate literary and cinematic works using a methodology based on required and recommended reading.
