Writing and the gaze: Joyce-Huston-Antonioni

The writing and cinema of the ‘crisis’: what outlet did the anxieties and experiments on language that characterised the 20th century find in the transition from literature to cinema? We start with an analysis of the final part of one of the fundamental stories of twentieth-century literature, James Joyce's The Dead, to arrive at two films based on it, John Huston's The Dead and Michelangelo Antonioni's The Night (with a brief mention of Ejzenstein), in which we see how Joyce's epiphany is transformed into the subject-look of cinema (especially in the endings of the two films).

The subscription to the entire Atelier (€ 100, nominal and including five 90' encounters) can be purchased from 27 August at the bookshop box office.
