Contents
The course intends to provide an overview of the productions concerning contemporary Spanish-American literature with a comparative look at the relative transpositions to comics. By carrying out a comparative analysis between literary productions and comic book transpositions, it is possible to note the commonalities and differences between the two languages. Through the study of transposition it is in fact possible to analyze how the two media dialogue and interact with each other, the ways in which latent contents emerge, what the hypertext adds to the hypotest and how the perception of the source text changes by the reader. , after reading the transposition.
The course will be divided into two main parts:
At first, students will be provided with a historical-cultural picture of comics in Latin America and its indissoluble link with Italian comics. Subsequently, the general theoretical elements concerning the theory of transposition and the semiotics of comics will be offered.
2. In the second part we will analyze a selection of texts by Spanish-American authors belonging to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and the relative transpositions to comics. In this phase, students will also be invited to choose one or more of the themes proposed and develop a presentation in the classroom.
