Main themes
In this seminar, we will study the connection born out of the mythic and literary transposition between the transposed text and the text to be transposed. This discourse pertains the rewriting of a narrative text in a dramatic text, lyrical or cinematographical.
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.
Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 To be able to analyse the relationship between the hypotext and the hypertext, between the text to be transposed and the transposed text.
To know how to recognize the strategies of rewriting.
To know how to interpret the effects of rewriting.
