Università Roma Tre

The course focuses on the relationship between cinema and history by convening a series of perspectives and knowledge able to clarify and deepen this crucial relationship that constitutes the very status of the cinema, since its origins. We will look at the cinema as hybrid and expanded horizon, therefore as a context that includes, even in the relationship with history, bordering or not "orthodox" media as television, photography, video, videogames. Among the objectives of the course: the examination of the different modes of "textualisation" of historical reality implemented within the iconic and audiovisual media; the exploration and interpretation of production mechanisms, forms and language with reference to the dynamics of audiovisual cultural and historical identity of an era; verification of how iconic objects and audiovisual media are "agents of history."
