General description
Drawing on the notion that contemporary culture is the result of a dynamic process of “negotiation” between discourses, forms and texts, we propose to analyze the hybrid configuration of the so called “cultural products” (film, literature, video, installations, translations and other forms of artistic and cultural representation) in order to account for a more global understanding:
-To study and analyze the historical context in which representative cultural products , literary works/ texts came into being.
-To study the cultural transfer between different artistic and literary contexts
-To discuss the interplay and dialogue between literary and cultural traditions
-To establish literary and textual connections among texts and contexts of reception
-To analyze the textual and cultural negotiation underlying processes of cultural mediation, translation, transculturation and textual and media transferences.
