Learning outcomes
Intermediality theory does not deal with various media: literature, film, visual arts, video, music, digital media and audio-visual language as separate genres and phenomena, but seeks out and connects the meanings right in in space "in between" (inter-media). Intermediality manifests itself either as a the nature of called "hybrid " (mixed) media in history, or as reflected artistic and theoretical program and research tool. By definition, the terms "discourse relations between two or more media types that enter into mutual merger, which is hard to separate them and bring them back to autonomy. Intermedia relations can be found for example in the plane of the picture, audio, text or terms of narrative structure and relations between various formal principles, in terms of technological, industrial, economic, mergers, etc., in mixing patterns and perceptual horizons, referring to the wider context of technological and cultural production and reception of media. The course aims to give a comment (or analysis) of selected issues from a wide array of suggested relations between diskursivními formations. Emphasis will be placed on literature and film as the dominant discourses (first as a representative of a verbal static message, the second as the representation of dynamic audiovisual messages).
