The war tale, between literature and journalism
The course is divided into two parts. The first is introductory: it will analyse some forms of journalistic representation of society (such as the enquiry, the reportage, the documentary, the literary description, the cross-media narration) with a special focus on the analysis of the writing style. The second part is thematic: the case study will be the representation of war by some writers/journalists of the second half of the 20th century. In particular, Ernest Hemingway, Vasilij Grossman, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Goffredo Parise, Michael Heer, Ryszard Kapuscinski, Luca Rastello, Edward Said and Alessandro Leogrande
