Thinking Space in Cinema and Literature – International Colloquium
Thursday, March 7, 2019 @ 8:45 am – Saturday, March 9, 2019 @ 12:30 pm
During this international colloquium, participants will be exploring the question of the relations between cinema and literature through the prism of space on the basis of three approaches:
– The Geography of literary and cinematic creation examines the spatial context in which works are produced from a historical, social and cultural point of view;
– Geocriticism explores spatial narratives as the result of perception and the substance of an imaginary. would study the relations between space, forms and genres, both literary and cinematic;
– Geopoetics studies the relations between space, forms and genres, both literary and cinematic. The semiotic perspective of texts takes on spatial modalities: typography and the materiality of the book considered as object, spectatorship and modalities of the apparatus.
