SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The course aims to analyse the main aspects of the history and theory of cinematic dramatisation. After the first part which consists of a historiographical and theoretical introduction to cinema scripts, the course intends to deepen the phenomenon of novelization (reduction of a film work into a textual or literary work), the role of erotic cineromanzo, male erotic magazines and other popular editorial products in relation to cinema, with particular reference to the scenario of eroticization of the Italian media system between the sixties and seventies. We will study cultural materials and products, such as the men's magazine Playmen, to trace connections and influences on the imaginary, writing, identity construction of spectators and readers.
