【Course Objectives】

The objective of this course is to comprehend the interpretive methodology by which to contextualize a selection of classic American novels or plays and their corresponding film adaptations. Throughout the course, particular emphasis will be placed on exploring the theme of polyamory, which challenges conventional norms of sexuality.

【Course Contents】

The method of adaptation that expands literary works as linguistic constructs into the domain encompassing non-verbal representations has garnered attention in recent years as a cross-media dynamic. For instance, “Pola” in the French film Pola X, directed by Leos Carax, is derived from the initials of the four words composing the French translation title of the underlying Melville work (Pierre ou les ambiguïtés). As such, Carax’s title symbolically illustrates the creative repeatability resulting from the deconstruction of the original, while effectively presenting an attitude that aligns with Melville’s profound exploration of sexuality. In this course, we aim to capture various aspects of sensual experiences rooted in the resonance between verbal and non-verbal elements. Using the theme of polyamory that relativizes monogamy, we will analyze several American literary texts and concurrently appreciate their cinematic adaptations, delving into the facets of sensuality arising from the convergence of language and non-verbal expressions.
