SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Littérature et Intermédialité: roman, cinéma et bande dessinée

The course aims to approach the study of literature through the prism of intermediality and remediation, i.e. the passage of works from one medium to another. Some examples of intermedial transposition - from novel to film, to comic strip - of works that have become classics of contemporary French literature will be examined, as well as some examples of contemporary intermedial creation: novels that narrate films or are inspired by film aesthetics, hybridised writing projects. 

Topics that will be covered:

1. Forms of hybridity and intermediality in the literary sphere.

2. From graphic novel to film: Lulu femme nue

3. From novel to film to graphic novel: Zazie dans le métro

4. Literature and cinema: Hiroschima mon amour, Cinéma

5. Intermediary ecosystems: Ils ne sont rien dans mes larmes

6. Paths in Intermediality

The syllabus is unique: all lectures will be recorded and all teaching materials will be made available to all students, so it is not deemed appropriate to distinguish the syllabus between frequent and non-attending students.
