ITAL 360 - From the Page to the Screen (and Vice-Versa)

Examines the relationship between literature and cinema by focusing on a critical analysis of both written and film texts through a wide variety of genre and styles. Students consider classic and contemporary theories of literary criticism, film analysis, and film adaptations to address some of the course central questions and raise new ones. How does the medium affect our perception of a story? What can a film add to (or detract from) our reading experience? How does our reading experience affect our watching experience? And what happens when the book is actually written after a film?
