Description

This course examines the relationship between fiction and film, examining issues of representation, adaptation, narrative, composition, and cultural construction. Students will explore how these verbal and visual genres connect by asking questions such as: How does storytelling operate in each genre? How does each genre rely on narrative structures such as causality and chronology? How does film develop and change literary elements such as symbolism? How does literature and film create an audience that knows its conventions? This course addresses topics such as modern life as created by fiction and film, and internationalism in contemporary British fiction and film.

This course is closed for registration.
