Apollo was the ancient god of light and the divine patron of the arts. He is therefore a fitting metaphor for cinematography, which is the modern art of writing with moving light. This book interprets films as visual texts and provides the first systematic theoretical and practical demonstration of the affinities between Greco-Roman literature and the cinema. It examines major themes from classical myth and history such as film portrayals of gods, exemplified by Apollo and the Muses; Oedipus, antiquity's most influential mythic-tragic hero; the question of heroism and patriotism in war; and the representation of women like Helen of Troy and Cleopatra as products of male desire and fantasy. Covering a wide range of European and American directors, genres and classical authors, this study provides an innovative perspective on the two disciplines of classics and cinema and demonstrates our most influential medium's unlimited range when it adapts ancient texts.

Adaptation in Contemporary Culture: Textual Infidelities seeks to reconfigure the ways in which adaptation is conceptualised by considering adaptation within an extended range of generic, critical and theoretical contexts. This collection explores literary, film, television and other visual texts both as origins and adaptations and offers new insights into the construction of genres, canons and classics. Chapters investigate both classic and contemporary texts by British and American authors, from Jane Austen, Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Dickens to Bret Easton Ellis, P.D James and Sarah Waters

Daß Franz Kafka ein passionierter Kinogänger war, dokumentieren seine Briefe und Tagebücher. Bisher hat man jedoch übersehen, wie stark auch seine literarische Arbeit durch die Wahrnehmungs- und Darstellungsformen des Films bestimmt wurde.Peter-André Alt zeigt verschiedene Formen von Kafkas kinematographischem Erzählen, die in den Techniken der Bildverknüpfung, der Verwendung konkreter Motive, den Sehperspektiven, der Körpersprache der Figuren und den dramaturgischen Mustern seiner Geschichten zutage treten. So erschließt sich ein verblüffendes Panorama literarischer Ausdrucksformen, in denen Kafka die Bewegungsfolgen und Kameraeinstellungen, die Stoffe und die Mythen des frühen Kinos adaptiert. Der Autor präsentiert zahlreiche Funde, die es erlauben, Kafka neu zu lesen. Zu ihnen gehört auch die Identifizierung des realen Vorbildes für das Schloß, das sein letzter Roman beschreibt; von ihm führt eine bisher unbekannte Spur zu , einem der berühmtesten Stummfilme der Kinogeschichte.

This study examines how the fictional works of contemporary French female authors can be read as a unique fantasy world in which the writer consciously manipulates the reader's (and spectator's) narrative expectations with explicit articulations of female desire. In addition, this work offers a literary and psychoanalytic reading of lesser-known female authors in French culture.

M. Serceau démontre que l'image cinématographique rencontre l'imaginaire parce qu'en plus de l'identification du sujet à son regard, il y a une identification à des éléments de l'image dont il convient de mesurer les parts de l'indice, du signe et du symbole, l'articulation des fonctions de l'imaginaire, du réel et du symbolique, ainsi que la part des psychés individuelle et collective.

Die Studie entwickelt am epischen Theater Brechts, am medial gestalteten Erzählen bei Brecht und Uwe Johnson und an der mythischen und zugleich reflektierten Filmästhetik Lars von Triers die Bestimmungen und Konzeptionen des Epischen als grundlegende historische und systematische Antwort auf diese Fragen.
