Cíle předmětu
Poetry (or what we today term ‘literature’) and music used to be called ‘sister arts’. Indeed, there are manifold relationships between the two media/arts. Music can occur in literature in various ways and vice versa: works of literature can thematize music, they may be inspired by music, or attempt to transmit originally musical compositions (and, sometimes, vice versa); occasionally, literary texts may even appear to be ‘musicalized’; last but not least, literary texts can be combined with music in one work (for instance in songs or operas). In this seminar, we will explore a selection of the various forms and functions of the intermedial relationships between literature and music (transmediality plurimediality, intermedial transposition, and intermedial reference in particular) after some theoretical reflections: these will include the characteristic features of both arts (with an emphasis on their similarities and differences) as well as the concept of intermediality and its various forms. As I am an emeritus professor of English literature, English language texts will be in focus.
