Theatrical text and narrative text: the Italian comedy from 1500 to 1900
The course aimes at analyzing the differences between narrative and dramatic text, insisting on the categories of mimesis and diegesis.
It will focus on the categories of space and time, and on the way they are differently declined with respect to the textual genre, to the style of the author, to poetics. The course will also focus on the transition from narrative to dramatic text in theatrical adaptations, from 16th century comedy to 20th century one.
