Image;, Imagination;, imaginary;, literature and cinema.Abstract
This essay takes the concept of image as a point of reflection and, through the notions of imagination and imaginary, seeks to analyze it through the confrontation between literature and cinema. The aim is to establish some of the premises that allow for a further dialogue on how, in contemporary times, such a concept is perceived, transfigured and enhanced, seeking to enquire about the impact and the implications which are present in a culture of image and «web», both in terms of aesthetic reception and acquisition of knowledge.
