Description - La Rappresentazione del Paesaggio Neila Letteratura e nel Cinema dell' Italia Contemporanea by Paolo Chirumbolo
This title shows how the aesthetic presentation of space is never neutral in literary and cinematic works. Landscape, place, and territory play a crucial role in all forms of aesthetic communication, and this book discusses these themes from a number of provocative angles. Whether real, mythological, fantastic, allegorical, or symbolic, they are essential constituents of the verbal and visual construction of an artwork. The authors show how space determines narrative plots and shapes emotional, rational, and social tendencies of any aesthetic expression. The analysis has shifted from the principles of mimesis to recent critical attention given to specific perspectives in different cultural lenses. This volume, edited by two enterprising scholars especially interested in mapping new trends in Italian literature and cinema, is a brilliant collection of theoretical and analytical essays. These writings explore the issues of aesthetics from a plurality of angles related to the literary and cinematic treatment of space.
