Course Content

The focus of this course is on genre renewal and hybridisation in Italian literature at the end of the 20th and in the 21st century. This both in the form of an internal process at the literary level, i.e. mixture of literary and non-literary writings, and as an external process, whereby arise, on the one hand, mixture forms of verbal and non-verbal artistic expression, and on the other hand, stories whose internal structure was determined by audio-visual data. In addition, the lectures will also address the historical relationship between Italian literature and other art forms.
