Course contents
The course focuses on the contemporary Italian narrative and aims to introduce students to the emergence of a variety of transformations - in production, circulation and reception of stories - affecting the nature, the notion and the function of author, characters, text, novel, originality, adaptation, translation…
Students will be invited to explore a selection of novels, representatives of the new transmedial narrative scene, and explore languages such as illustration, graphic novels, films, TV series and App.
The second part of the course focuses on a specific case study: PINOCCHIO (Le avventure di Pinocchio) by Carlo Collodi (1881), a classical and representative sample of the italian children literature now rediscovered by different artists such as Roberto Innocenti, Lorenzo Mattotti, Ferenc Pinter, Jacovitti, Winshluss and Marco Corona.
