Imaginary Films in Literature deals with a specific and significant case within this broad category: the description of imaginary, non-existent movies – a practice that is more widespread than one might expect, especially in North American postmodern fiction. Along with theoretical contributions, the book includes the analyses of some case studies focusing on the borders between the visual and the literary, intermedial practices of hybridization, the limits of representation, and other related notions such as “memory”, “fragmentation”, “desire”, “genre”, “authorship”, and “censorship”.Textxet: Studies in Comparative Literature82.Film adaptationsHistory and criticismMotion pictures and literatureFilm adaptationsHistory and criticism.Motion pictures and literature.809.93357Ercolino Stefano1985-715588Fusillo Massimo1959-221246Lino Mirko761072Zenobi Luca616734NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910822887803321Imaginary films in literature4119954UNINA
