Re-Animation: contemporary animation as new dominant logic of moving images.

Paying particular attention to the conjunction between theories and practices, the course will focus on styles of the new animation products looking firstly at the dialectic between innovation and tradition, but also between aesthetic and narrative forms coming from different cultural paradigms. Without forgetting the way in which animation software is also used in live action cinema, the course will highlight how the concept of "re-animation" should also be understood as revitalization and problematization, carried out by animation itself, of historical, political and cultural issues involving new moving images.
