Objectives

This program takes account of different types of interaction between literature and the visual arts; it articulates the analysis of creative practices with the critical reflection on the relations between literature and the visual image. It aims at providing adequate tools for the theoretical study of the interart relationships both in terms of intersemiotic translations and in terms of transmedial movements in the works of writers who are also artists.

The works of Portuguese writers for whom the interart exchange or the creative alternation between literature and the visual arts constitute a strategy of aesthetic and literary renewal will be privileged.

Learning outcomes and competences

Students should become able to apply theoretical and critical instruments from interart studies; to acquire theoretical and critical skills allowing to address, from a critical perspective, different types of dialogue and hybridism between contemporary poetry and visual arts; to identify different kinds of relations between contemporary poetry and the visual arts; to deal with the relations between word and image (and picture) from an analytical and critical perspective.
