Words, Images and Lies

This course focuses on the role of words and images in the construction of "truth" in Italian literary and cinematic discourse, from medieval literature to 20th-century film. By analyzing the interplay and the transition between different cultural contexts and systems of signifiers, the course aims to reflect on the question of language as a source of knowledge and a vehicle for representation.
