From text to paratext & from word to word-image: Alasdair Gray’s Poor Things (C. Manfredi)

Drawing from Alasdair Gray’s 1992 rewriting of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, this course will first (re-)introduce students to the notions of paratextuality and interpicturality (from rewriting to re-painting or re-drawing). By focusing on Gray’s neo-Victorian, “sham gothic”, and verbo-visual novel, this course will encourage students to investigate the complex status of the word-image relationship and look for new ways of rethinking formal, aesthetic and ontological relations among media, arts and politics, as well as between art and science.
