Narration in New Technology Communications Environment

The course focuses on exploring the narrative direction of speech and image. Towards this end, narrative texts and images are selected from the field of current affairs, historical testimony and literary imagination, as well as visual and audiovisual representations with corresponding content. Interpretive tools from the fields of semiotics, structuralism and deconstruction explore the space and time of action, the characters, the plot and the evolution. Narrative techniques such as linearity, circularity, and anachronism are also studied. The main objective of the course is to highlight the communicative dimension of texting and visualizing the idea, imagination, event and testimony.
