| Term: Spring Semester 2020 |
| Description: In this course, we will examine the interaction of film and literary texts in the context of contemporary Latin American cultural production. We will analyze what happens when a variety of short stories, novels, or plays are made into a film and how the reception changes; what are the techniques to create a dialogue between film and literary texts in their own contexts; how we view and read these texts and how the difference in the register affects our perceptions of a character, an event or a location; how words are translated into images and how adaptations re-create the stories. Zama by Lucrecia Martel, XXY by Lucia Puenzo, Cidade de Deus by Fernando Meirelles are part of the corpus. |
