WEIDENHILLER UTE CHRISTIANE
(syllabus)
The course is divided into two parts. The first, held by Francesco Fiorentino, concerns the analysis of texts by Franz Kafka, with particular attention to their historical-cultural and psychoanalytic dimension, but also to their transmedia rereading. The second, held by Ute Weidenhiller, is based on the analysis of the intertextual links between Herta Müller's prose and collages. It explores the aesthetics of fragmentation, the dialogue between words and images, the principle of editing and the combination of associations.
