Through the rewritings of visual, narrative, and poetic texts (ekphrases, parodies, adaptations for the stage and the screen), published in a period ranging from the last decades of the 18th century to the end of the 20th, the course investigates the specificities of different genres, languages and media and the processes of adaptation and transcodification. Reflection will also focus on issues related to democracy and citizenship in the United States; racial, ethnic, and gender discrimination; civil rights; transculturalism.
