Course Content (Syllabus)
The starting point is the dialectic of symbols, motifs and themes in the poetic and visual language with a model of artistic and verbal intertextuality, based on the concept of the intertextuality of Riffaterre. An indicative scope in the first lessons is the comparison of the poetic and visual work of the Greek surrealist poet and painter Nikos Engonopoulos based on the multimodal myth of Orpheus (five paintings in correspondence with eight poetic collections).Subsequently, we shall proceed to the further decoding of symbols, motifs, themes and myths, attempting to synthetically interpret poetic, visual, musical and cinematic discourse, as reflected in works that are part of the international surrealistic movement (Breton, Dali, Éluard, Max Ernst, Magritte, Tzara, Duchamp, Giacometti, De Chirico).Students are expected to develop special knowledge / skills in the following:
• analysis of text and image mechanisms,
• detection of multimodal myth as a hybrid structure of different semiotic codes, and,
• analysis of specialized applications for the blending of semiotic codes (encouraging them to personally create collages, edited pictures and videos).
