Learning outcomes
The aim of courses in Italian Literature and Film is to enhance students' interpretive skills. Film adaptation is already a form of interpretation: courses in Italian literature and film emphasize its historical and ideological features through the analysis of formal solutions of the adaptation process. During the courses the literary texts will be analyzed in comparison with their film adaptations, in order to highlight the linguistic and expressive specificity of literature and cinema and strengthen the students' skills of comparison and reflection, also in the perspective of a independent analysis of other texts.
