Kurz se zaměřuje na porovnávání diegetických a mimetických způsobů uměleckého vyjádření, tedy obrazu coby zástupnému elementu slova. Leitmotivem je pojem „funkční ekvivalence“, s nímž se nezanedbatelná část studentů již setkala v překladových seminářích. Tematické celky: 1) An introductory lecture: a) adaptation as functional equivalence, b) audiovisual media and 2nd language acquisition Analogies and contrasts (O. Wilde: The Importance of Being Earnest, Irvine Welsh: Trainspotting) 2) Film as a sociological probe and a cautionary tale Dan Rosen: The Last Supper 3) Modernist narrative techniques and its visual counterparts Woody Allen: Match Point 4) The courtroom novel between page and screen I Tom Wolfe: The Bonfire of the Vanities 5-6) The courtroom novel between page and screen II (analogies and contrasts) Harper Lee: To Kill a Mockingbird David Guterson: Snow Falling on Cedars 7) Rhetoric and body language (diegesis vs. mimesis) Tom Stoppard: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead 8-9) Cultural liminality I - tragic mulatto (a text-film-radio play juxtaposition) Alice Dunbar Nelson: The Stones of the Village (short story / radio play) Philip Roth: Human Stain 10) Cultural liminality II - a film-film juxtaposition Hanif Kureishi: My Son the Fanatic John M. Coetzee: Disgrace 11) Cultural and historical determinacy - a film-text juxtaposition Witi Ihimaera: Whale Rider
