The Symposium Literature and Cinema Viewpoints and intertextuality
Symposium dedicated to Abdelwahab Meddeb.
The text of Abdelwahab Meddeb "The icon and the letter" appeared on the numbers 287 and 288 of the Cahiers du Cinema, July and August 1977 is a founding text. The first to question the relation between picture to text , fiction film to novelistic film.
We draw on this text in tribute to this great intellectual, Tunisian poet and narrator of French culture.
Literature and Cinema, speech writing / filmic discourse, narrative fiction / fiction film.
We leave the clichés of simple research on the relation between cinema compared to novel adaptation. We go in search of intertextuality in the delightful and painful relationship both between the Gutenberg galaxy (text, letter) and the Galaxy Light (filmic and iconic).
This symposium organized in collaboration with the Faculty of Letters, Arts and Humanities of Manouba is part of an ambitious project The Carthage Film Festival in UNIVERSITY.
Direction and coordination Abdelkrim GABOUS (academic, researcher and critic)
