LV-Beschreibung
Intendierte Lernergebnisse
Students will learn to use interdisciplinary theory and methodology to analyze intermedial relationships in American cultural texts. They will be able to identify and carry out analyses of intermedial phenomena using relevant methods and theories. They also learn how to critically evaluate the interaction between media and art forms from ethical, social and scientific perspectives.
Lehrmethodik
Short lecture inputs; in-depth discussions of assigned texts.
Inhalt/e
In this class, we will look at American cultural texts through the lens of intermediality, a form of media literacy that focuses on analyzing and understanding all kinds of relationships between and within media. We will start out with a selection of relevant theories and discuss their use in understanding different media/art constellations such as literature, music, theatre, painting, film, TV series, comics, and digital media. We will then look at a number of examples, including Ray Bradbury’s short stories “In a Season of Calm Weather” and “The Veldt,” Nick Hornby's novel High Fidelity and its adaptations, Emily St. John Mandel’s novel Station Eleven and its 2021 adaption into a limited series on HBO Max, and Nora Ephron’s 2009 culinary comedy-drama film Julie & Julia, along with food blogs and other digital (trans)media texts. We will discuss forms of intermediality, multimodality, and transmedia storytelling in these examples and bring them in conversation with each other.
