When Words Become Flesh: Adaptations, Novelizations, and Everything in Between
Does anyone ever really read a book anymore? Wouldn't you rather just watch the film? And why is it that, when you do read, it seems like there's always a film playing inside your head? In the field of word and image studies today it has become common practice to ask the question of how contemporary novels seem to indicate the ways in which mass media and film has altered the structure of human experience.
The purpose of the course is to review the status of literature in a time when the movie industry seems to be cannibalizing the written word. Mass media, strategies of remediation, and hybridization are keywords that will govern our discussions, as we ask ourselves what literature is doing do to "write back" and to avoid suffering from a cultural inferiority complex: Can writers make movies? What is "ready to film" fiction? What does the ancient rhetorical practice of ekphrasis have to do with the modern screenplay? And whatever happened between Rick and Ilsa in the bedroom scene after the lights went out?
We will read and watch various contemporary texts - novels and films in various guises - that display a high degree of self-consciousness with regards to their own status as fictional and intermedial objects. We will read novels that try to "be" film, we will watch films that once were books - and we will read books that knowingly contradict the assumption that novelizations are necessarily literary by-products knocked together by some unassuming hack in the service of the Hollywood merchandizing industry.
