Prerequisites
Good knowledge of written and spoken Italian (level B2 of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) ; basic understanding of narratology.
Main themes

Students will either analyse the transposition/rewriting of a novel into another genre (theatre, lyric opera, sculpture, cinematographic script, tableau), either rewrite a narrative text in a theatrical text. We will privilege franco-italian themes such as, for instance, the rewriting of French works in Italy or the rewriting of Italian pieces in France.
