Study of the interaction between Literatures in English and other artistic manifestations in the anglophone context, like painting, theatre, television or cinema. Analysis of the thematic and aesthetic similitudes and differences; revision of the specificities, possibilities and boundaries of the different languages employed in each art form; samples of the incorporation of aspects belonging to one artistic discipline into another, more concretely in the context of English speaking countries/cultures.
This subject places special emphasis on the applicability of the contents discussed into professional fields like cultural criticism, or in management of cultural contents, thus the students are provided with the suitable critical vocabulary and are taught how to comment on artistic products and how to write reviews/ research articles/ critiques on them.
This subject attempts to initiate the students into the knowledge of the most relevant perspectives and research methods for the advanced study of artistic manifestations, more specifically films, television shows, plays and paintings — created and produced in the different English-speaking countries. Due to its specific competences and the object of study, this subject will allow the students to assimilate different critical approaches to artistic and audiovisual texts, and acquire those research tools that will lead them to show their capacity to apply those critical approaches to their analysis of texts, authors and historical periods.
Syllabus
1. Film and literature (Novel, short story, theatre)
2. TV and literature (biography, novel, theatre)
The contents of this subject are subject to modifications in accordance to the necessities and interests of the students. In the first session of the course we will specify the compulsory reading syllabus. More details on the contents will appear in the virtual campus
